all of those sites go back to xtremeimportz.com  he just made a seperate site for every non-patented country he could find, no harm in that, cause none of them are patent protected.  Yeah you'll prolly get screwed by taxes and crap but he's not gonna tell you that.

guess what helicopter blades are made of .... fiberglass, aluminum, amazing!

Velocity stilts and powerskips are the same spring and frame?

From my understanding, stiltwerks redesigned their stilts for military purposes, using different materials.

If they were the same, I don't see how Velocity stilts could be 4.5 pounds each and Powerskips could be 6 lbs each.

Where does the extra 2 lbs come from? (not being sarcastic, seriosly interested)

stiltwerks takes out the knee bars and replaces them with cuffs (removing about half the bar in weight), takes off the big yellow binding and puts on smaller (lighter) binding straps, they also custom build them to the size of the buyer so any excess material that is normally there to allow adjustment for different sized users such as extra length on the knee bars can be removed.  they're only taking a pound and a half off, its not hard to see that from just the knee bar and bindings

from the looks of xtremeimportz's page about the new models it looks like they're just holding off on the new models till they get it right, it says the higher models will not be available till later, i think it says by august or something but who knows if that'll actually hold true.

that was someone else

xphub seem to have dealt with other peoples issues fairly well, i dunno how they're doing on their parts supply though so it'll proly take a while if they don't just send you a new stilt.  I'm gonna check mine out when i get home to make sure they don't have this problem, they haven't felt wobbly yet so i think mine are alright.

i moved and cleaned up the off topic crap, what's the time diff of sydney from gmt so we can figur out how to get a link up to the two other meets

Pin, if you want an event for people to win your straps, what about some kind of 'reverse limbo' similar to how people do height training, last person in gets em?   I'm sure you could find/someone could bring, some appropriate things to make a jump and make it safe with.

why reverse limbo, bocking limbo would be hilarious, and enough people would fall over that pin would be happy.

sprog you have too much free time. as for busch gardens, my dad used it as one of the selling points of the trip to get my siblings and i to agree it was a good idea, only shortly after to find out that my dad is an idiot and be cause we were going in the off season it was closed.

ooo i'll add mine to the grave yard too.

We have a family trip planned to Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia in August.  It's a huge preserved town from the colonial times with town folk in character and colonial-type events.  Very authentic.  When they ask where we have traveled from, I'm just going to say we're from the future.  lol.

I've been there, it was alright, a little to ye olde for me.

Yeah as people said, after getting a 2nd pair i now believe its all about technique, i got my first par and couldn't get good height for a few weeks but i was getting massive air my first day with my second pair, and they had the same weight minimum.   You just have to learn to bock before you can get the big air.

carbon fiber is good to use in springs when its made right, and cheaply is not right when it comes to carbon fiber.

can we get some pics of the foot plate locking mechnaism? these are suposed to beable to pivot like the Zer pro's but also beable to lock flat how's it work?

well i've made it through night one with only 2 minor burns, wish me luck for night two.
