bocking will strengthen it, just takes time.  The reason there is weakness is cause there are so few exercises that exercise your body in the same way bocking does.

I ordered mine last night, made a few small modifications 

Dominion is definitely IN!

I just booked my flights from the 13th to the 20th of August.  I'll have my passport in a few days.
Only thing i can think of that might be a problem is that i land 2.5 hours AFTER nick, and I leave 40 minutes prior to him on the return flight.

NICK, if you see this prior to getting my voicemail, please call me.

about time

I was inquiring about what would happen if it was raining all weekend?

we get wet

yes that's correct its owned by xtremeimportz, though the owner hasn't been on here in prolly a year.  And yeah they'll do fine for a beginner stilt.

well that site you linked to sells stilts that are made by the same company as air runners.  They're a better model than the air runner model though.

There aren't that many people here from Australia so i don't know what's available there.

pictures?

powerisers have a 6 month warranty on the hoof.  If they fall apart inside 6 months email them and ask for new ones.  No guarantees they'll give you new ones, but its worth a try.

you just need to grind out the top of the frame a bit

All Poweriser brand bocks in the US come through a company called xphub, any warranty issues go back to them.  They've got a 1 year warranty on everything but they spring and the rubber hoof, and 6 months on them.

i think that site actually is a legit dealer, just a dumb one.  Even if they're legit, if they're not responding to your emails, they don't deserve your business.  I think they were linked from xphub's dealer's page before their site was redone.

yeah if they aren't responding tell your credit card company to stop the payment and then go order from somewhere else, you can get them cheaper too.

strap all the pads to the stilts, hook the kneebars/cuffs over your sholders with the springs in front of you

i'll get mine tomorrow, but as they come from the US they'll get to me faster

i'm about 92kg and have used X's.  They'd be right for a beginner of your weight, anything weaker would be too soft.  I think the X's are too soft for me, but they'd be fine for a beginner, I've spent 2 years getting my technique right.  Only problem is when you get to the point I'm at the only available option is deal with bottoming out all the time or loose weight.

these post are more than a year old, I'd click on their profiles and send Email's/PM's to them to find out if they're still bocking and if they want to meet up.
