Makes

[fuse]

Ok so I was looking at the dirrfrent makes and I see people keep asking whats the diffrence so heres a link (below) to the producer of Fly Jumper,Powerizer, Pro-Jumper,Jollyjumper, etc. If yours look like the ones on this site (even if they are a diffrent colour) or if the boxes look nearly the same they are from this company as far as I am aware the only indipendant makers are Powerskip, Powerisers and 7 Leagues. any other make (except Up Wing) have the same springs but varying other components. Up Wong use carbon fiber and fiber glass compound, these are the only ones from this producer that vary!

Original (older version) of the FlyingLocust site. Nice to see they actually show the logos of which brands they sell now

AirRunner and SpeedJumper are also made by FlyingLocust.

as far as I am aware the only indipendant makers are Powerskip, Powerisers and 7 Leagues. any other make (except Up Wing) have the same springs but varying other components.

Actually, the only "component" on FlyingLocust Stilts that varies on them is the name/logo stamped on them. All have identicle frames, bindings, hoofs, etc.
The Makers are:
ALANSportartikel GmbH - PowerSkips
Hitech & C, Co. - PoweriSer
FutureTech - 7Meilensteifel Pro/7League Boots.
FlyingLocust - PoweriZer/ProJump/FlyJumper/SpeedJumper/AirRunner/JollyJumper/etc
The following companies Claim to make SkyRunners/MoonShoes/PowerRunner/BounceShoes - huaseen; LDF Group Co., Ltd.; PowerWell; Aihoo;     
Blue Ocean Extreme Sports Co., ltd;Wiztem Industry Co.,Ltd

I've written an email to powerskip asking if they know who makes SkyRunner and if it is one of the listed companies, and also if they know why skyrunner are poor quality

[fuse]

Nice..so if skyrunners are poor are all the other names under that brand?

I'm not sure, MoonShoes, PowerRunner and BounceShoes are names I have only just come across and are listed by those companies. I'm trying to find out if they are all one big brand or are all individual cheapo brands by different companies. Currently no luck finding out though

[fuse]

Are moon shoes the ones with the built in boots?

[Sprog]

No

We soooo need a proper FAQ.

[jono]

I tottally agree

I have recieved an email back from Andrea Boeck, nice to know they read this forum and know who we are!

Basically, SkyRunner are made by Bowei Powerwell and are not allowed to be sold in any of the countries that Mr. Boeck's patent covers.

Big thanks to them for supplying me with this info

Than PK's spelling

[Locky]

yup lol

Also their warranty page says 3 months but the product pages for the stilts says 6 months. Not that it matters because nobody should buy these. Not even if they were drunk and singing thundercat songs.

The adult model Skyrunner give the ability to jump up to 6 feet in the air and take running strides of up to 9 feet in length. Skyrunner are for the average athletically-inclined person and the professional circus performer!
Incredible basketball slam dunks, amazing flips, breath-taking heights -all are made possible with the Skyrunner!

hmmm

Skyrunner is defined mainly by a flat spring controlled upon deformation, so that the result is a straight movement relative to the ground. With the riser's functional principle, depressive spring characteristic and backward movement of the force point during deformation are achieved. This supports the natural force point movement in the heels direction at higher loads and allows the runner to transpose his optimal jumping energy. Hence, you can really fly!
Skyrunner is recommended...
A.Incredible experience through exciting sports is never seen before in the entertainment world.
B.Cultivate the new sprit of adventure to young people.
C.Train child's mind and body who is worn out by hard study or on-line game.
D.Good for loosing weight (by reducing fatty deposit, waistline, buttocks, calf diameter) and physical exercise.
E.Increase HDL-C(High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) and reduces THR(Total Cholesterol & High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Rate)

they are using big words for the sake of it - and losing the whole point of their statement

When everything is going well for skyrunner, we stick QC PASSED on per bike. Skyrunner. We have been got CE/SGS for our skyrunner, We only made and export high quality bike!

This fills me with confidence!

And Our Spring is best all over the China.

ha ha ha ha ha


anyone want a chat with them, i found an msn on their site! www.skyrunner.cc

All these chinese names are really big in Aus.  Not well kown yet, but being pushed and touted.  I can see I will be the odd one out. :p
