Correct Weight

[urbantricker]

Hi guys,

Be interesting to hear your opinion on this one. I have the M100 model of my powerisers which take up to 15 stone. I weight 14.5 so am well within the limit.

However I can bottom out on these fairly easily. Would it be advisable to get the next weight up? I can see it being slightly harder to initially bounce from nothing, but once I get going I could go much higher. Because where I was bottoming out before these springs would be a little tougher.

Is this a common thing, or is it recommended?

Cheers,

Ian

What I have found is that if you at at the high end of the limit, go to the next level, unless you are just going to jog and jump a little. If you get a spring and it is a little to stiff you can have a heavier friend break them in for you or you can wear 5lb ankle wieghts to help break them in. Hope this helps.

What makes them different? I thought they were the same as powerisers.

I am definately not just jogging and jumping a little! Haha! Cheers!

Yeh, go for the hevier springs, unless there 7legues always worth giving them a ring wherever you get them from to see what they recomend

7 leagues are alot diffrent as got diffrent springs the curves arnt the same! also use bearings not bushes and generally a smoother stilt!

7's allso haave a diffrent center of gravity that allows for easeyer... well everything
on all other risers the center of gravity is on the heel
but 7's are more towardds the middle allowing for a easeyer jump
that allso last longer and dont need running repairs

Ah right I didnt realise all of that. Cheers for the information guys.

So are 7 leagues modified Powerisers or pro jumps, or are they completely new designs?

Cheers,

7 leauges started out as a distributor of powerisers but decided to start their own brand because of the desgin flaws in powerisers

[Trip Master]

They have nothing to do with either Pro Jump or Poweriser. They have there own factory in Asia but are engineered in Austria. 2 Sellers in the UK

[poweriser kid]

they have self maintaning parts
so no repairs needed

I agree different brands have different spring charakter/quality. (see e.g. http://www.PoweriserPages.com/forum/all_spring_brands_tested-t508.0.html )

Also you will always be able to bottom out the spings even harder ones, I explained my experience: see http://www.PoweriserPages.com/forum/bottoming_out-t1357.0.html
