I've got size 12 (US) feet, so i'm interested in this topic.

Anyone find it horribly uncomfortable? how far do your shoes stick over the edge?

I'd really enjoy all the positive attention I think (It's way easier to explain spring stilts than to explain LARPing...)

I didn't have any gymnastic training in highschool though, but I'll spend some more time on the fiancee's trampoline, and if there's room in my budget I might see if I can schedule some time with a trainer at the local gymnastics venue...

Thanks for all the replies so far!

What's it feel like when you're walking in them?  I've never been on stilts, but are powerisers like that?

Hi all,

I'm 22, 5'9" and about 170lbs.  I haven't done anything really physical for a couple years (i miss highschool sports!) and my balance isn't great, but powerbocking looks soooo fun!

Should I go for it?  I'm concerned that i'll burn out, or not be able to balance (big one), or break myself.  Anyone have any advice?

Thanks so much,

-Dan
