Spring Break
« on: August 17, 2010, 08:27:28 PM »
Ok so I ordered new springs and thought Id prep my stilts ready, as I took of the hoof I realised I had sheered a bolt in half (thought nothing of it) then I realised the bolt got lodged in the metal hoof... then it struck me the rattling and crunch I had been hearing for ages, and the Riser Raptors had been joking about was a bolt slowly ripping through my springs causing this damage... Also the metal foot plate has got 6 fractures in the bottom from the bolt :S

P.S. I learnt my lesson about checking over the stilts hope you do to :D

The pics won't upload but they can be found here

well its no wonder youve broken 6 springs in 10 months if you cant notice something like that is wrong with your stilt dude. :O

Well we all thought it was a stone stuck somewhere because it originated after we were all trying to throw stones throught the gaps in DC's stilts ><

In other words you thought the noise was because your stilts were stoned  :Claugh:
