Skyrunners?

I notice that you say you have powerskips, but they don't have the ps000 number. Skyrunner has been infamous for labeling their product Powerskip. They aren't very good stilts.

As for why they break at the same spot, check the area. Take off the foot. Look at the spring in all the contact points.

Also, try to get pictures up. Then it will be easier to help

Those are Flying Locust stilts (pro-jump, flying jumper, air-trekker, poweriZer)

So If that is what your stilts look like, then they aren't skyrunner.

Maybe you have the wrong weight class, maybe something is wrong with the materials in the metal, or maybe you are just slaying those springs.

Are the springs snapping? or are they just losing bounce?

hmmm.. ok.. thanks for the info on the name =).. about the breaks..  well imagin a ice cream stick.. take your fingers to the middle then crack it..  same thing...  but before they snapp totaly they make sounds like a really old door.. or when you step on old wood floor.. catch my drift?
so after these sounds they break when i land jumps about from 2-2,5 meter high.. am so lucky they have guaranty xD

Hmm, maybe not Huh

If you are getting 6'- 7' air, when you jump (as you stated previously), then maybe the next strength spring would serve you better?

Hi pr3d470r,
If you’re breaking that much springs I do see only 3 possible reasons, apart of working yourself to a bad batch:
1. Your springs are simply crap.
2. Your frame is deformed.
3. The shock protection part at the foot lever is missing.

The weight range I can not see as a possible reason to break springs.

Have fun, jump high, says Dome

predator,

Do you bottom out on the stilts at all?

As, Dome says, there must be an underlying problem, as the springs should not snap, no matter what weight range they are.

They should reach their maximum flex and hit the rubber stopper, without damage.

They seem to be Flying locusts for sure and it's a bit strange with the springs. I guess you have an extreme bad luck or just getting really crappy springs. I have Flyjumpers and they've been used quite intense without getting problems with the springs.

Go for 7 league boots or Powerisers 08, I bought myself a pair of Powerisers and they work great. Check out skatehut.co.uk
