I bought a pair about 2 and a half weeks ago. I was just trying to see if anybody else owned a pair???
If you dont know what powerisers are: they are stilts about 1 foot high with a flat fibreglass spring. they allow you to jump up to 5/6 foot in the air. Honest!

Ok people this is deal of the centry time, youve all seen them and want to own a pair and for £200 you can!
My cousin is selling his because he cant be arsed to play anymore and he wants to buy a drum kit - so its a worthy cause i guess
If your intersted in them please drop me a line or pm.
They have only been used about 8 times and are in perfect condition
ideal for people around 10-15 stone ....... go on have a bounce!

so after having them for a while im really impressed. they are suprisingly easy to use. at least the basics are easy to get. im still not a master at junping more than a few feet but i have running in them pretty much down. my biggest complaint is that the strap that goes behind the knee isnt long enough. also the ankle rachet gets stuck on that black rod. im not sure what that thing does but if you have a pair im sure you know what im talking about. id like to find a good pattern for pants that go over the stilts. im no good at sewing so simple is better. i was thinking about a really long pair of thai fisherman pants.

Was anybody at the Southend Airshow this weekend just gone? I was down there showing off My powerisers with a few friends on the Sunday. We made an appearance on the Sunday but the rain didn't agree with us so we went home early. We were wearing www.jumping-jaks.com t-shirts and bouncing about along the promenade. Did anybody see us?

Yes and no. Their design is patented so you can't copy it without permission but in essence they are just a few bits of metal and a flat spring... So long as you didn't sell them I doubt there would be any problems. Best to check and make sure anyways...

I once learned every move that there was,
Every style, Every technique.
Then I woke up, and forgot it all,
So now I struggle to dream.

wow, thats the exact same link, but posted twice, in the same place, in different replies.
I thought my senile dimentia would make me forget what you just typed.
Anyhoo.. No videos of stilts here

I think I should get fit and start free running before I give in to this expensive urge that's just been created. I imagine tripping up when running on them isn't fun though.
