Jumping stilts are a relatively new sport but are catching on fast.Ever since the 2008 beiging olympic opening ceremonies the sellers have bareley been able to keep up with demand. These stilts are great fun for everybody, great exercise and if you want to save a bundle on gas just for transportation,I love my skyrunners i dont know what i would do without them. There are several kinds of jumping stilts to choose from there are air-trekkers that are made in europe and powerizers,flying jumpers and skyrunners that are all made in asia.Air-trekkers are the most commonly known because they have been around the longest,but sky runners ,flying jumpers and powerizers are catching on fast. Price is a big issue with jumping stilts with powerizer and air-trekkers usually being the most expensive but check aroud for the best price because there is a wide range of prices on the web.Sky runners are usually the least expensive because they are made in china but dont let that fool you they are a great quality product just like the rest.That is what I own. Weight is a mayjor factoR when purchasing your pair of stilts,one size doesnt fit all.Be aware of this when you purchase you stilts.If you wear a pair of stilts that you are to heavy for you could break them and hurt yourself and if ou wear a pair that are to heavy for you ,you wont be able to get the bounce on the springs that you need to jump high or run fast.I recommend you talk to the customer support from the website you are going to purchase your stilts from. Once you have recieved you stilts be sure to read all the instructions carefully and ,or watch the instruction dvd they send with the stilts,if they dont send one the go on u tube there is lots of video there.Skyrunners come with wrist gaurds and knee pads be sure to wear all safety equiptment when you are on your stilts.You can run up to 20 miles an hr and jump up to 7 feet in the air depending on you size strength and skill level.Please be careful. www.allstilts,com
