so, got my projumps second hand off e-bay, though they're still in very good condition, hardly any wear on the feet etc, but i noticed something earlier, on the left spring, where the spring goes into the foot, theres some small white marks, they appear to be small cracks in the fibreglass of the spring, are these dangerous and/or will affect the performance significantly?

bocks:projump v5(i think)
weight:62KG
springs:66
used but in good condition

heres some photos:
white marks on the spring, just below the joint, the plastic has been replaced by cardboard btw



there's also some marks around the bolts on the foot



it doesn't look that bad, but i just wanted to make sure i'm not jumping on a death-trap

Don't worry, that area does get some scratches, but doesn't bend much or receive much stress.  Yours are a bit worse than mine, but I doubt it will amount to anything.  Just be on the lookout for cracking/tearing noises and you'll be fine.  There will be some notice if they ever break, which may never happen.

Just general wear and tear, don't worry about it. If it starts peeling/flaking off then you need to worry Lips Sealed

thought they were fine, and it's good to know that they are alright, was probably going to get new springs once i get better, as i can easily bottom these out on 1 footed jumps, and can evry now and then kanga hopping
