kicked a 20 ft ceiling holy crap that's high

getting back to the point of the thread, you can clearly see from the 1/4 speed video that when you bottomed out you landed on one foot, the other hoof doesn't even hit the ground, so keep in on 2 hooves and you should be good for some more height without bottoming out.

that's matt i'll be picking up one of those in a few days

I think tripmaster is right about how they connect, the website is very unclear about how you attach the shoe, but you have to perminatnly attach a shoe to them, because they only have 1 strap otherwise

cool feature, should prove to be very useful

the site that sells them in the US is stiltwerks.com, but I wouldn't reccomend getting them from there cause there far more expensive than the poweriser version, cause they're for velocity stilts.

yeah i'd second the request for black stuff, or at least something other than white

Matt have you made any progress on the comparison trials? keep us updated when you get around to them.

that's pretty cool sprog

just wondering how do you get up when you fall ?

tried to practise but it just didnt work

read this thread there's video, animations, tips etc.

turn around before you jump up things! hope your ok

I wouldn't say the site is overly british, just that the membership is predominately british, nothing wrong with that, risers haven't caught on as much in the US i guess, hopefully it'll catch up soon.  I'm doing my part to advertise them, everybody get out and show off and more people will want them.

nice to see more activity in the USA board, can't really come to a west coast meet, but i think there are others on the board that can, good luck

Dude just wait till the summers, i assume you know what waterfire is, i go to almost all of them, it'd be amazing with 2 of us, once it warms up a little we can start meeting up regularly.  I'm at school about an hour away, but when i come home for weekends and when i'm out for the summer that'll be great.

so your saying he grinds on the front side of the footplate, where the front binding attaches and the end of the stabalizer rod, risky move, i think i'd be easier to slide on the front of the foot plate slightly cocked out at an angle, but you only have one point of contact that way, i think i'm gonna experiment with adding a grind plate there next time i go home and i'll let you know what i come up with, i'm gonna try to avoid the stablizer rod cause it'll be annoying to work around

and with that SUPER KANGAROO TIME!
