A few weeks ago I was trying to explain to Busman about these stilt things and I tried to demonstrate walking around the dining room (but of course not wearing any) and saying "boingy boingy" He and Mimi just fell about laughing at me and couldn't wait to tell Emz when she came home "Go on! Do yer boingy boingy!" they said! :D

Re: Hi iam andy BOUNCING STILTS (powerizers)
 
Hi Andy, the names Rik, this is my first post so I thought I had better make it worthwhile.
I am 40 years old and considering buying those powerizers for myself, I was wondering, if you had been the butt of peoples jokes by wearing them. I ask this respectfully.

riks006 18-12-2007 15:02

Re: Hi iam andy BOUNCING STILTS (powerizers)
 
Now I have gone and done it. Gone and bought myself some. Crying now at my empty wallet but looking forward to the joy to come.
Who care what anybody says, I'll be bouncing and jumping till the cows come home or at least till I break a hip.
:hesoff:
Roll on Friday.

Welcome to the board Andy, you really have gone and started something.

Re: Anyone out there with jumping stilts(powerizers)
 
PoweriZer M80, its a size up from what I would have gone for but searching in different forums on the subject, it was made clear there was a possibility of bottoming them out once I was good enough.

I paid £149 for them, I knew there were different models and prices, I felt that if I was still on them after 6 -12 months then maybe upgrade.

I got them from play.com. Free delivery.

Actually I should get them Thursday.

p.s. :smilingfaI hope you don't feel the aches too much.

I wouldn't say that everyone who laughs at you and your stilts are just 'jealous', I'm sure there are many people who genuinely think theyre ridiculous :p

Re: Anyone out there with jumping stilts(powerizers)
 
Pretty sure i saw you today in town. About dinnertime-ish outside the market hall, have to say they are very impressive, not sure if id have the balls to have a go though. I was going to nip over and say hi but was in a hurry.

Dont think it would work only having one, you really need a pair to keep your balance;-).

Re: Anyone out there with jumping stilts(powerizers)
 
Lol, dont fancy making a fool of myself in the middle of town. But i think you should start a business with this, you get loads of attention and people asking where you get them from, so why not be the one selling them;-)

Same here, its alright being different, but I think I'd prefer it if everyone wasn't turning my way when I walk through town, so I'll just point and laugh and save myself the humiliation :D

Re: Anyone out there with jumping stilts(powerizers)
 
On the day I get them (tomorrow) I probably will try them out on Oakfield park.

You are all welcome to come along and have a big laugh.
I guess I could do with a few pointers.

Went out on them this Morning, there was a lot of frost about, I found a patch of ground on Oakhill Park that wasn't covered and so began the powerbocking.
Here are some pics
