My concern is this...   Okay, so let's assume he has no advantage at this point - though I'm not sure how that equality was measured.  What prevents him from going to a more powerful spring down the line?  I'd be interested in knowing if and how officials have set any standard for that - or if the officials have even thought of that potential problem.  Next year, an athlete like him may show up with the newer Model XJ-3000 version of the prosthetics with better springs - just as all competitive equipment is improved over time, such as the bobsleds, skis, etc.  Don't get me wrong...  It's great that he gets to compete in the games, but I think this going to open up a huge can of worms for the Olympics.

But Bill you assume that humans are standing still. Better coaching, diet, psychological training etcetcetc have all increased speed/performance

Tho one of the arguements againt the guy , as I understood it, was not that the springs whilst they imitated the performance  of a human lower limb, they couldnt replicate  the fatigue or pain or risk of injury ( damaged hamstring puts training back weeks --broken spring -next day delivery).

So its not a case of just thinking of this guy , its the people he would be competing against.

Gotta say for the judges , it was difficult and possibly a no win situation. And any1 who comes ahead of him in the olympics ( shouls he qualify), will soft heartedly be branded a 'vilain'

you could try PM'ing 'MrRoo ' or similar. Him and flat m8 have stilts and are in Auld Reekie  might be worth a try. Hope ou get takers --post pix un vid

I believe there is quite a lil group lerking over on the other coast in Arbroath. 7 last I heard!  Go by the name of Arbroath projumpers I believe

ta Joe, moi crap as normal  .  Music was v good. Also good vid for people to use if try to get a gym

Kris  the 'bad quality' bits were a deliberate 'effect'  And on that note --Ash  we gotta get your 'idea' of the ground when you r back in town

yep  the map is not exactly user friendly --and many dont use it. Best way to find people I find is  a/ make sure your location is on your profile b/ do a search on your county and major towns in the area

hi gazza  yes flybaby is near you. But not been on here of l8. But I believe he is wanting to get back into the sport

hi derdidrdThere is a new Midlands group started  called 'Skyhigh' Mainl meets in Brum so far --and most if not all weekends. 'Nero' is the guy to contact about it.

Well done dom

 ive nothing to wear that goes with orange

id just look odd with a carrier bag ( and i shouldnt get any of them) of said veg

Yep, I think its fair to say that a good years use and Im sure you have no complaints on that score DK.

But yeah  go for the heaviest springs. I know Colin ( tundrah) can Bottom out X types. But I dont know  ( re trips coment of posting a vid) if he has a more 'xtreme' style compared to you.

Re proskips they are expensive , and lets say 'delicate' and I wouldnt want to just put them on your frame.

How much of a hurr are you in. More and more peeps are getting both types of S Rex. If ou meet 1 at a meet Imsure they would let you try um.

sadly , whilst Ill be seeing you at walk for life and have a pair of X type in post, as they are a kilo heavier I think Im just gonna do it on my T -rexs

basically turned everything upside down ---from tooth mug to TV

erm me thnks you might cause some mild embrassement.


But i doubt you would caus me to question the direction of humanitiy. ill not b walking thru the gates of dachau or gazing oover the killing fields, hawkwards slaughters in italy or the mass transportation to servitude to Americia when 1 sees u flip

'im free'

un i might have my S rex's too

Acually I wouldnt mind 'piggy backing ' this 1, unless of cause its me Joe is trying to get away from

Un with luck ill have my new S rex's to try out

u could just do a 'guest' spot

Id like to go --doubtfull time off at work --ill put request in anyhows   Ash might be tempted too

Could go as   'the good, the bad and the ugly'
