Air Trekking!

[Big Bad Bounce Boy]

their adults stilts look like the original pro jump ??

No idea BBBB, as none of it is their footage.
The first bit is FlyJumper stuff, the middle is Tex Redinger, and the end is poweriSer footage. So I wouldn't trust this company at all if they can't make their own vids

This video, Jelly?

none had written anything on the so called forum if they did they could not be found. All of the websites they had on their personal profiles were sex related, porn sites, gun related and gambling etc. 90% of web addresses went back to a site called Xanga and all of them have been shut down due to ' Violation of terms of use'.

They would all be set up by a spam bot then, using false emails. That's why there we be no posts, none of the accounts would have been activated as the emails were all false. Generally the bots like to "undesirable" sites (i.e. stuff you don't want seen on the forum), and are simply set up to post links to other sites to either gain more traffic for said site or there are some that plant viruses/trojans/etc when you visit the site they link to.
Spam bots are a common problem on forums, we've had a few on here before.

OK, so do you think that these spam bots are anything to do with the people trying to sell these 'AirTrekkers'? Cos i think the first was Admin and that was the same story as the rest of the fake addresses. Which leads me to believe its all a scam. jelly x

no jelly the spam bots have nothing to do with airtrekkers, they just prey on forums with lax security, they are not people they are programs that sign up and post spam links to porn and drugs and other crap.  We used to get them on here till we implemented security measures that stop most of them.  Air Runners are legit, they just don't know how to moderate their forum properly.

Okay, so here's an update.

I've been communicating with the admin since last year when ya'll frist discovered thier site.

They are a legit seller, fully backed by teh Boecks. They are having trouble getting thier website started, as you can tell, and have been working on a new site that should be up by the end of this month. They are fully aware that trying to rename the sport "air-trekking" was a bad move, and according to the admin, it was a miscommunication between the folks in charage, and the webdesigners.

And you've probably noticed the lack of good/original videos. They are trying to credit anyone's videos they are using, and useing them to the minimal amount. They are filming thier own stuff, along with some thigns I'm filming for them, and all those new videos should be up on teh new site.

As for the Forum, there were a good amount of posts on there before, but as you can see, spam bots that had nothign to do with the site got on there and tore it to shreds and they had to take down the whole thing.

As for the stilts thimselves, I managed to get a hold of a pair, and they are great. They are a lot better than my previous stilts (poweriZers). I'd say they are the same quality of the PowerSers. I wouldn't know about the kid stilts though, may try and get some of them to test out.

The Head honcho dude is even currently working on makeing all the units come with the upgraded metal bindings (which the first are great in the first place), and metal bushings, and he's very close to making that happen.

The frame is solid, the hoofs are great and dont' wear out nearly as fast as some other stilts I've seen, and teh spring I got, M110, is rediculous and I am getting great height weighing in at 190lbs. I would have no problem recomending these stilts to anyone.

These guys are really rough around the edges, but they are starting to get thier act together and look like they'll be doing pretty well in teh future...

That's my spin.

the stilts are the same as current gen projumps, and all other FL stilts

I just ordered a pair of Air Trekkers. It took a while to do it because the guy who answers the phone and takes the orders was out of the office. Seems like it is in fact a "one man" operation. I will detail my experiences with the stilts and the company in a few weeks if anyone is interested. They arrive on Tuesday.  If you don't see any posts from me after Tuesday, it's because I killed myself learning how to bock.
