Zu welchen würdet ihr mir raten? Oder gibt es für die 7Ms auch Kniehalterunge à la Poweriser?

Und noch n paar Fragen...
Gibts vielleicht bald ne 2008er Version von den Powerisern,so dass ich jetzt leiber noch n paar Tage warten sollte?
Is es ein großer Nachteil, dass die 7Ms schwerer sind?
Und über die Bindungen hab ich mir keine großen Gedanken gemacht... Sind die bei den 7Ms wirklich so schlecht?

Hi,

1) Die Poweriser Kniehalterung kan man einzeln bestellen und auf alle anderen Hersteller montieren.
2) Bisher weiß ich nichts von einer neuen PR Version (da müsstest du mal beim Händler nachbohren und uns dann unbedingt weitererzählen)
3) Der Gewichtsunterschied: Ich glaube das hängt mit der Lage des Schwerpunktes zusammen, ob es wirklich einen Gewichtsunterschied gibt, weiß ich gar nicht, beim side-grip ist es mit den 7ms etwas anstrengender (bei anderen Figuren nicht so), so meine subjektive Beobachtung, andere können das allerdings anders sehen.
4) Die 7ms Bindung hält für den Anfang, aber wenn man viel und extremer springt, will man schnell eine bessere (die Bindung leiert aus und kann Druckstellen machen). Die Bindung der PR (die ist gut) kann man einzeln bestellen. 7ms bietet die gleiche Bindung als Option an.
5) Die dicke des Federnschutzes ist mir persönlich egal, anderen ist das sehr wichtig.
6) Ich persönlich (=nur meine Meinung) finde den Federcharakter der PR nicht gut. Da finde ich 7ms um einiges besser.

Well, we (Zackiz and me) organized a meet in Goeteborg last year. It was pretty nice, many continental Europeans showed up but all the ones who pushed the meet up in the first place (the Islanders) did not show up (not a single one). To be honest we where pretty pissed at that time (search the forum).

I wish you all the best for such an event but be not dissapointed when many state their interrest but no one shows up.

Sorry to sound negative, nvertheless I keep fingers crossed that it works better this time.

If you ask an airline, they will charge you something in aditional for sure.

I just take the regular stilt bag (from PoweriSer or 7league boots) put my cloths and toothbrush into the empty spaces between the stilts an tell them this is my suitcase.

I never had a problem since I had only one piece of luggage to check-in.

Ho is the arm Martin?

getting better but I will need the summer to get full muscle strength and flexibility. Before that no stilts (or other sports with my arm) are allowed.

please stop showing these vids, I hate myself that I broke my bone and was not able to come to Mallorca 

and the 7league boots bushings must not be oiled, sprayed, vaselined or the like at all. They have a grease layer which would be damaged with any other grease. (read the manual !!!)

Mine don't
Maybe because they're a year old though

I do not think so, this feature was included in the first bulk when 7s where released the first time. So every 7s should have them (these copper bushings).

see e.g. http://www.jump-to-be.com/index.php?id=116&L=1
quote: "Normal bearings must be serviced and oiled - not the bearings of the 7leagueboots! Glide into a oilfree future with the 7leagueboots!"
or http://www.jump-to-be.com/index.php?id=39&L=1
quote: "... Also a special coated and service free glide bearing for more bounce ..."

But I heard that some manuals did not include this info. So ask your local dealer to be sure.

u need oil thats wot lol

You don't oil bocks...

you dont?

No. You lubricate them with something like Silicon spray or copper grease or vaseline (recommended by powerskip), but not oil. This is due to the fact it's very runny, makes a hell of a mess and sprays everywhere as soon as you start bouncing. If you look at the photos of me at CB07 repairing ET's bocks you can see how much of a mess they (and my hands) were due to the fact they had been oiled.

and the 7league boots bushings must not be oiled, sprayed, vaselined or the like at all. They have a grease layer which would be damaged with any other grease. (read the manual !!!)

keep practicing. most important rule: do not bend your knees, kepp your legs streched, only when the springs are at max compression bend knees slightly and give a push. but in the air (going up and down) do not bend. this exercise usually helps a lot.

buy 7league boot hoofs and you do not need an additional protection anymore. They are as good as car tires.

[Olympic]

FYI

Accordiing to an announcement in a German forum this stilt will be preseted to the public on the 22nd of May 2008 in Germany.

The name of the stilt will be "Olympic" in Germany and is supposed to be different (in some parts) from the pictures shown here. And the German vendor Speedjumper is known to refine/"pimp" the origin product so there might be some enhancements.

I understand and I fully agree, supposedly (I have not tried the latest ones) they changed and improved the mixture (less breakings). But imho the character and weight categories have not been changed. But I might be wrong, maybe pro-jump can tell us more.

i think they'll be fine, martin that chart is a year old, the carbon springs have changed significantly since then.

Are you sure? in Germany they are sold a lot and I have not heard that they changed character/ stiffness, where did you get this info and what changed?

To my knowledge every carbon spring is tested in China for the category and the weight category is then written on the little square at the bottom end of the spring (eg. 89 which means 89kg).

I started a review topic, please state your stories & pictures there, the first pictures are already online

ok, as you might know I was not able to attend Mallorca since I had a flight accident and I have to recover. But since no one started this topic so far, I do it. Please tell me everything, I want to know what I have missed.

I heard it was a fantastic weekend. First pictures are online:

Yes, I think M100 carbons are too stiff.

attention, the M100 fibreglass is different to the M100 carbons. You can not compare fibreglass and carbons of the same weight range! It is not recommended to go with carbons above your weight range.

See my post on http://www.PoweriserPages.com/forum/black_springs-t4282.0.html;msg70552#msg70552

I quote: a carbon spring ... is stiffer than a fibre glass. ... there is a table in German which refers to the Carbon springs (in Germany sometimes called Panther) see
