another option is to go with a cheap pair.... childs or adults to start with and graduate to a better pair as you get older and bigger. You'll want a new pair about that time anyway.  also the technology will have advanced some by then.

right now it will be hard to wear out a cheap pair as light as you are.

well if you're close enough to boston you should meet up with me and the gang around there, i wonder if zan's old stitls still work they might be good for you we could give you a trial run see what you think.  if that's not possible then a 5070 poweriser is the way to go with a block on the foot plate, its gonna take a while to get air out of them cause you're so light, as you grow it'll get easier though.

BTW at 80lbs you would be wise to be training in Acrobatic Gymnastics,  Artistic Gymnastics, or Tumble and Trampoline.  These are all sports under the World Gymnastic umbrella. 

With you being intrested in Bocks I doubt your a non athlete and with your body type... if you like flipping and stuff.... its just a good place to put yourself.  Can only help any thing you like to do like Bocking.

Granted Im biased.  Cheesy 

Let me know I can help you find a place to look into training.

Nixd i was...or am like you.  I had the problem with the weight. It took me a few months to decide between kids and adults models. I would go with Mr Frank, and get the adult models. I am only 13 and i went for the adult models. Its true that it take time to break in the springs nut you'll get there. I think im getting great height at the moment, apparently over 3feet (which i'm happy about), but my springs havent actualyl broken in fully yet so there still a bit stiff! Imagine what they would be like when i do! I'm not an expert o bocking, but in my opinion I suggest Adult Models for you.

The video they have is a compilation of stolen videos, at least one of which can be found on this site, I think.  I'm doubtful of them.  They're either another sub-brand of Flying Locust or Skyrunners, which are an illegal ripoff and really suck.

air runners are flying locusts, same as poweriZer and flying jumper.  PoweriSer is a better buy

Dont go the flyingjumper route. They are all pretty low quality. Anything that isn't PoweriSer be wary of. (7 league and Powerskip are fine too)

Can I ask how you found out about these?  Grin

wow i just read the new air trekker site, that thing reads like an infomercial, "3 easy payments" lol just makes me laugh, and the fact that in the US you can get poweriSer classics, which are better for 279 and the best i've seen on any FL brand is 289 just makes me laugh.  PJ makes them great but dropping the price significantly in the UK but in the US its cheaper to get a higher quality stilt.


and i just read they're "special free report on the truth about jumping stilts"  these guys need to get their heads out of their asses.  I've attached it for anyone who wants a laugh.

Those were there for a day on Cool things to ride Mr Frank

My guess is that CTTR adds in the shipping costs to the price (i'm positive they do actually)
so when shipping costs go up, so does the price. They really slash their possible profits over on that website. Breaks all the balls of other PR dealers, except XPhub who is their supplier.

You can get Sers for that price. You just gotta know a PoweriSer Rep... Roll Eyes

And Flying Jumper for 280

http://www.powerjumperz.com/?gclid=CLf5lLjH8pICFQezsgodsnFf3w
I'd still go with Sers
