I think the reason is because each country has its own patent laws, and the patent holder of the cuff, i'm guessing that's stiltwerks inc, has patents in certian countries and not in others, so they can be sold certian places without paying royalties and can't be sold where he has patents because the companies don't want to pay royalties cause that would cut into their proffits. only a guess but i think this is what's going on

excellent review, nice to see a good comparison of a lot of the common brands all the way up to skips.

sprog a soul plate is a plate on the side of roller blades for grinding, and big mac yes its been considered check out the project grind thread lots of ideas, but no one's come up with anything definate yet, though bruice from the projump display team has done some grinds on unmodified risers.

I assume your reffering to flybars, they look fun, almost got one, but i don't think a pogo stick is worth that much, maybe i'd ask for it as a present, but i wouldn't pay for it, gimme risers instead

ah powerskip, i though you meant poweriZer pro's, people will still get the origonal cause if they are like swebounce they learned on the origonal and if theirs break they will still want the origonals, and I personally don't like the idea of the moving foot plate, so i'd still get the origonals.

i'd say for your first pair get something affordable, 7's at the most, then if you truely love the sport upgrade as you have the money for, springs first, frame later, as always get what you can afford, i've had riZers for a while now, will prolly upgrade this summer, not sure how far i want to upgrade yet. 

i dunno where your seeing the pros at the same price as the standard i've only seen them $100 more

I think the concences is that road tires last longer than off road tires, no one's done a scientific study though. i might get on that this summer.

can't wait for the youtube, good luck guys

how long it takes depends on how much you weigh vs the spring you got, I have M100's, 90-100kg and i'm 92kgish it took me about 2 weeks to break them in, but there's really no good way to say when exactly they're broken in.  I'd say if your less than 10 kg below the min for your spring expect about 3 weeks of moderate use to break them in, lower than that 4+ should not be unexpected, but again if you use them everyday for mulitple hours a day this time can be greatly reduced.

what's a bar flip?

yeah zackiz did the foot plate mod on powerskips, so have swebounce and hemoves i think.
zackiz posted a tutorial of how to do it on the board, check the modification section

If your thinking about powerskip springs on a different frame, and you don't already have said different frame, don't bother, go for the full fledged powerskip, then buy a footplate from any poweriser/poweriZer/projump/etc dealer, and buy some snowboard bindings, that will give you the best binding on the best frame, with the best spring

Welcome, that's a cool way to find out about risers, I hope you didn't translate the english manual, cause it was some of the worst english i'd ever seen.  As for your request for photos, I'd strongly suggest that you get some of your own people on them and take pictures, because there's a lot of confusion caused by retailers stealing pictures from other sites and nobody can tell what they're actually selling.  So if you can please take pictures of your people using the product that you are selling for the betterment of the sport.

cool awaiting the video, that face doesn't seem like it adaquately captures the saddness of snapping a spring

Edit: XarnuSonci you are so wrong, you are the 102nd member, not the 100th! lol

nope, when i joined the member count on the side bar went from 99 to 100, there were prolly 2 spambots that got deleted before i joined, go find the old thread called "100th member or something"
