When i get home from school i will see if he has replied with a quote for the original idea and then i will send him an update of the new idea and also ask about t-shirt colours.

To be honest im with Ollie, i think black t-shirts would look the best and its a better colour for printing on.

Zeb is this the kind of thing you were thinking of?
2239  Powerising / Jurassic Jumpers - Dorset / Re: Jurrasic Jumpers on: March 07, 2007, 10:28:14 PM
I will see how cheap my people are offering, if they are much more expensive it may be worth going with O2 but we will see.
2240  Powerising / Jurassic Jumpers - Dorset / Re: Jurrasic Jumpers on: March 07, 2007, 10:25:58 PM
Well that would be crappy, i know these are good quality as i have some in my drawer which i randonly wear and they look as good as new  Cheesy
2241  Powerising / Jurassic Jumpers - Dorset / Re: Jurrasic Jumpers on: March 07, 2007, 10:22:34 PM
I just emailed him, so will hopefully get a reply tommorow  Cheesy
I don't think it will be too much, O2 said he knew a company as well,so if we get quotes from both we can pick the cheaper one  Tongue
2242  Powerising / Jurassic Jumpers - Dorset / Re: Jurrasic Jumpers on: March 07, 2007, 09:52:31 PM
Would you like to buy a Jurassic Jumper t-shirt if i get some done?
The design is on the previous page.
2243  Powerising / Jurassic Jumpers - Dorset / Re: Jurrasic Jumpers on: March 07, 2007, 09:19:03 PM
Yeah, i was think 5, we should ask zebadee and originaltwo if they want them as well, cos it would be cheaper to buy more at one time.

The t-shirt colour is another thing that can be up 2 us, he will print onto any clothes i think, so would anyone prefer a hoodie or shall we stick with t-shirts for now?
2244  Powerising / Jurassic Jumpers - Dorset / Re: Jurrasic Jumpers on: March 07, 2007, 08:41:51 PM
I have no idea, i agree it would look a lot better on black, pour example:



I will email him with the possible designs and see what he says.

How many are we looking at getting do you rekon?
2245  Powerising / Jurassic Jumpers - Dorset / Re: Jurrasic Jumpers on: March 07, 2007, 06:49:32 PM
Yeah, i thought about names but that would cost a lot more, because what he does is spend time doing the original design and getting it prefect then all he has to do is press and button to print as many as we want. So by doing 10 different designs will cost a lot more than 10 t-shirts that are the same.

I have no idea about res, i ask him after i show the design.
2246  Powerising / Jurassic Jumpers - Dorset / Re: Jurrasic Jumpers on: March 07, 2007, 06:41:33 PM
OK, me, Ash and 02 have been talking about t-shirts and hoodies, for the t-shirt design what does everyone think of:
Front
Back

Any other suggestions?
I need to get the design done before i get a price for how much they will be.
2247  Powerising / Problems / Re: Missing NUT! on: March 07, 2007, 06:13:22 PM
What bindings have you got Ollie and how much were they?
2248  Powerising / Jurassic Jumpers - Dorset / Re: Jurassic Jumpers III Poole on: March 07, 2007, 06:05:06 PM
Also out of the 'non-jurassic jumpers' who's coming?

I've been updating the front page of the thread with people who have expressed interest.

Here whiteclaw did a review on the 7 leagues he has several good pictures showing the frame and how it differs from the powerizers.

Powerising should be made a sport!

Powerskips were originally patented in 1999 and available on the market in 2000 but at this time they were very uncommon and expensive at about £800.
In 2003 the idea was copied in the Far East and several mass produced brands started becoming available, costing less than half the price of the originals. These became much more popular as they were a more reasonable price for younger people to afford.

Now in 2007 there are several brands of stilts coming from the same factory and 3 other stilts being manufactured in their own factories, these are obviously of better quality and higher in price.
You can now buy a pair of children stilts for only £115 and adult stilts for £135 so with the huge drop in prices more people are purchasing them and it is becoming much more widespread around the world.

Individuals have tried to set up clubs where people can come along and try the stilts to see if they like them before spending over a hundred pounds on a pair. When trying to acquire a grant from the government, who have recently being pushing for new sports clubs to open, they got turned down because they claimed the sport wasn’t well known enough to qualify for the funding.

The council have to have guidelines about what things are accepted sports otherwise scam artists will be making up allsorts of sports and applying for funding every other week. The downside is if your sport is not on the list then they won’t even contemplate you.

The main question is how do you define a sport???
The dictionary defines a sport as:

“An athletic activity requiring skill or physical
exercise and often of a competitive nature”

Sourced from www.dictionary.com

Powerising has both skills involved and is a great form of physical exercise:
Some people are known to be able to walk straight away but others have to learn to walk on the stilts which can take from 10mins to 1 hour depending on confidence and skill. To be able to run and jump takes a great deal of practice and even more to learn front and back flips.
Powerising is good for general health and is very beneficial form of exercise as it focuses on twice the amount of muscles that would be used when running normally.

Therefore because it follows the same concept as other well known sports and involves skill and physical exercise, it should be recognised by the government as a sport that could, if wanted, apply for grants.


(This is the final copy for those interested, i know some bits may be a bit exagerated and some even made up but it gets me the mark  Tongue)
