ah, think i may have found your problem, locky said something in chat the other day about evo bindings, i'll try to find the link that he gave me, might take a while though

edit: ah here it is, god bless the history search feature

that maybe?

well i suppose anything that puts too much stress on the bolt could rip it off, in theory it could come from over tightening the bindings, though the half of the bindings that has the teeth the other half locks into would snap first, these are pretty tough bolts after all, and if nothing happened to them since the factory, they'll still have their glue like stuff on them that locks them in place...which takes quite a bit of force to undo, trust me on that one lol

...well i'll probably be bocking for at least a few hours each day, and most probably on a wide variety of surfaces, so we'll see, but even if it ends up being like 500 hours of use, evryone can be sure thats the best thing, and it's worth the £32 spent on them...plus whatever it takes to get my springs to attach to them correctly lol

yeah, think we may have just narrowed the problem down to the screws, oh and you mean if the nuts been overtightened and sheared off the THREAD

...^^ that pair of socks wore through from the inside, pretty evenly, and probably was about 25-30 hours of use until completely through, though i stopped using it once i could see material on the bottom of the hoof, the solid rubber part under the chunky tread wore through slower than the chunky grip, that just ripped right off, and they didn't have much grip on the floor until the chunks were completely gone, smooth tires are probably best for grip, but will also probably wear through faster, got some 7's feet coming through the mail soon, so i'll start making a diary of how long i bock for, and on what surface etc, if i can keep it going we might actually have the length of a hoof, instead of about a year or something

^^now thats a sensible guy^^

ah, jiggling when you kick feet, sounds like it's forwards/backwards movement then, which is usually the bottom joint not having enough/any padding, just tape some card into the gap between the spring and the plastic bolt cover thingie there and see if it works

maybe the screw is loose, so they pivot round said screw and fall beneath the footplate? maybe...

lol that'd be a no then lol, when the invoice for my hooves arrive i'll get them to add some brackets to the order, hopefully at no extra cost, as long as they're pretty sensible.  They did say the feet would definately fit, so i can pull the 'but you said they would fit' card on them if they're annoying, or just e-mail pro-jump support and say the bracket on my old generation stilts broke and did they have any part lying about

O.o falling off, as in not just the buckle coming undone???

...if thats the case then they're probably dodgy bindings...and your nitro bindings are probably better anyway, though i dunno, i'm still on standard PJ ones, which aren't THAT bad

...try tilting your footplate back a bit using the nuts on the supportbars (keep them even though, don't want to kill the stilts), shifts your weight back onto your heels more, or just put more on your heels manually, i just found tilting the footplate helped quite a bit

that IS a weird boink sound, umm could be from the part of the bracket that goes across the front/back of the stilt, as in the sticky out part that doesn't have the bolts going through it, jusrt sounds like thats twanging slightly on something, apart from that haven't got a clue...oh and nice bail

lol evryone round my little village knows me now, mostly as bouncyman or some variation, so much so that i was walking to the bank on foot earlier and someone was like 'what happened to your legs, they're better' lol xD

was in town the other day, and some chav came up to me and asked:
 'are you a horse?'
me: yes, i am a horse, neigh

...might be due to the fact my tiresocks make the clop sound quite a bit, need to tighten them sometime.

...oh and do we have jumpjump man, bouncyman and oi you cripple! yet?

yeah will do, though i've probably got something similar lying around the shed or in local hardware stores, but i spose it's probably best to get the official part.

so, no bending at all, not even a tiny bit, pwetty pwease? xD
