7090A Poweriser Jumping Stilt Advanced 158-198 Lbs

Pros: Great exercise, comfortable, fun as ever, well built/durable. I've had them for about 1½ months and am using them at least every weekend and no signs of breaking down yet.Cons: Dangerous(duh). some of the machining of the metal parts aren't really sanded down properly, just fixed it myself, but I cut myself 2 times on the little brace things that you have to screw on because of the sharp edges while trying to do a little leg-grab trick. I wasn't bleeding profusely or anything, but it was a bit of a bother.Other: I weigh on the higher end of the weight-tolerance of this model so I was able to bend the springs to the max. If I had been on the lower end, I wouldn't know if I would be able to bend the springs as much, or if I would be able to get as much air; pretty sure it depends on how well you can jump normally and deal with the impact of landing. I dunno, just my 2¢.

OK , If you guys have questions about these I'm the guy to ask , I've already bought 4 pairs. So why 4 pairs , 1 for myself , 1 for a friend , 1 for my little cousin - 13 years old , another one for myself after leaving my first pair in Australia for a friend , this product is super unique and its gonna give you an unbelievable amount of attention on the street so get ready for it.Great quality , I has shipment problems the firs time and the team helped me solve em real quick.

Before I begin let me start by giving some background info: I am 6' and weigh ~160lbs.I decided to try these out and see what they were all about. I have to say that I am thoroughly pleased so far. I didn't expect this particular model to be as rugged as the more expensive ones. This is my first and presumably only pair of stilts but from my experience they aren't as advanced as other models. That being said, they are every bit as fun. I watched a number of youtube videos before even purchasing to understand how to not castrate myself should I own a pair someday. After reviewing a number of helpful tutorials and tips I was confident to try for myself. The first time I wore them was the most difficult. I quickly realized that I had to constantly shift my weight around. Why you ask? Because the rubber foot on the bottom of the stilts doesn't have the many complex muscles and tendons that our own legs and feet do. Standing completely still meant falling. Falling while wearing these meant that my head could easily take a 7'4'' dive to the grass/asphalt. These are stilts, they increase your overall height. Knowing this, it's almost crucial to wear a helmet, if not, at least a number of pads on elbows, knees, and especially wrists. Falling at a higher elevation means a harder fall, don't chance it by not protecting yourself. Also, DON'T TRY RUNNING YOUR FIRST TIME WEARING THEM, YOU WILL FALL. Now, let's break things down:Things I LIKE:-FUN-Sturdy(enough)-Great workout-Adjustable-People think you're Iron ManThings I DON'T Like-Velcro straps, I much prefer the snowboard-like binding mechanism of the more advanced models-The more you fall, the greater the likelihood of having to replace a part or several parts. However, it's never terribly expensive.-The plastic foot platform, I may end up reinforcing or replacing with aluminum.-The included rubber 'foot' doesn't grip the best on certain terrains and wears quickly, I have modified mine.Now to sum up: GREAT buy for the money, awesome fun, great workout, easily adjustable, while certain parts of the stilts might not be on par with the standard of higher priced models, these do just fine. With some very basic modifications these will send you to the moon. I fashioned a rubber sole from a bike tire held down by pipe clamps. Not only that, I padded the fiberglass spring to prevent the spring from fragmenting upon each bump or fall. Every time I wear these, I usually end up taping over the velcro to hold my legs in place. Nowadays I can run with 10 ft strides and jump 6 feet in the air. Heavier users in this range may achieve different results. There is no such thing as over-tightening with these. You'll want them to be tight, otherwise it's like trying to run a marathon with sandals that don't fit.Additional warnings to other potential users:-Although not required, I recommend wearing a helmet at least the first couple of times.-Don't wear jeans when using these.-Learn how to safely stand up, dismount, fall/roll, and orient yourself after falling.-Don't try running the first time wearing them-Broken part? Don't throw them away, all replacement parts are available online.-Don't let your friends try unless you're okay with the chance that they could fall a lot and reduce the life of the fiberglass spring from brutal impacts.-Don't drink and hop-Be smart

These work great and are quite a bit of fun, but I have found they are one of those toys that's fun for about 20 minutes and then you don't play with for a while.

fun fun fun but very tiresome. I am average health but after 1/5th miles fast walking, I was out of breath. At first, it took about 5 minutes to be able to walk on my own. After a few hours I can do a little jogging but still can't flip nor high jump yet. Becareful, don't forget your protection. Be ware that the ease of picking it up quickly can lead you to feeling invincible and try to do crazy stuff. Even if you think you master it, remember you still can land on your face if you are not careful.

"Absolutely FUN!" I run with them for the first time at Burning Man and i LOVE it"

very good product, the material is perfect.i allready bought another one.it is just what i wantdefinitely recommend

Stilts came in brand new condition except that there was a hole in the box and the back plate that covers where the side arms screw in were missing. Don't think it was the shippers fault as they were likely lost in transit. Stilts are great overall but the straps that come with it from power riser totally suck. Looking into getting snowboard straps to put in place. Shipment came on time.
