Ok mate nice and simple this one

Your bushes have worn
Projump do a bush repair kit with all the bits you need in it
Not sure if you need one kit per stilt or what as I only saw the prototype kit so give them a shout

I tend to glue my bushes in as this makes them last longer also use a silicon lubricant on them to reduce wear

Have a look at the tutorial  BitLord83 has done here

http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=7280.0

And the one for the older stilts by gillybert here

http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1271.0

Before you order anything though take the bolt out of the top joint and have a look to see if they have worn just in case something else is causing it

A lot of people just keep using them when they are worn but I think they feel better when all the joints are nice and taught

HAHA, you think that's wobbly?!

I should post mine up or maybe we should have a wobbly contest.

I think it is safe, I cant see it causing any structural damage and I still flip in mine.
It is a good idea to replace them though, as Jason has said. I've not done mine because I'm buying new stilts for spring.

Normally bushes give you pleanty of warning before they do something nasty mate

But if you are asking me if they are safe  :Claugh:

You are balancing on a pair of stilts while jumping anything up to nearly 3mts in the air (sometimes upside down)

What part of dangerous don't you understand  :Claugh:

If you want safe take up knitting with blunt needles   :Cbiggrin:

You should be ok with wobbly bushes though Steddy just don't quote me on it  :Claugh:
