jump stilts for shorties
« on: December 03, 2010, 05:10:16 PM »
My girlfriend has short legs and can't keep up with me when i'm walking so i want to get her a pair of pro-jump stilts.

She's 5ft 1in and 53kg (and fully grown - in her late 20's) so right on the border between the kids and adults make, what should i go for?

I'm only 68kg, is there a pair that we could both use?

1stly,  i think she needs to train you better.....ie  'heal boy'

5' 1''  OK 4 adults  prob m60's.  but im not sure she will be any quicker 'walking' , running yes. But walking, often ,cos of the weight, peeps take shorter strides....and with the stilts that evens out to make no difference.


oo un best to get his un her stilts.

what alot of shorites do or kids making the transtion from Jr's to adults is to add foam or a block of something on top of the footplate to stop you back the back of your thirgh of the spring hinge :)
