Just don't tighten all the bolds and screws too hard to make your risers stiff.
I don't think it makes a difference. I'm suspicious that they make them that way because it's harmless and the only true fix is adding a spacer across the top of the hoof part. Even when I tighten it, it gets loose again. I think the rubber is a good idea, but I don't think it really matters.
I had to tighten my screws twice for them not to lossen, that was about one weeks ago.
Now i have anather problem, well 2 actually.
NR 1:The rear strap have snapped in half since a washer cut through it. I have sent a letter to skatehut for about 2 days ago in the hope that they would replace me with a new, but has not received any response yet. I hoped that they could verify my order through to check on my mail address because I have wasted my order.
NR 2: After that my bonding had broken I was forced to bring the strap as far in as possible. So when I was moving my foot up and down footplate began squeak a little, but it was not so much.
After a period of fooling around I started to go for a little higher heights. So, after a couple of jumpes I heard a loud snap that sounded lik hard plastic breaking. I took off my styltan without finding anything wrong, got up on them again and jumped high again when the snap again were heard. took them of again and check it the footplate, flexed them to see if the spring qould be broken but without finding anything. went up on the lawn and got up beside a swingset and started to jump again as high as I just could, but without making any sound.
Do you think you know what it might be that haunt me?
OHH ps ( I dont know what PS stands for) I suggest that you replace the washers for somthing in a larger size so that you do not have to break your bonding straps. And i could ad a picture as fast as i know how.
