Some S Rex News

O2 well I saw a prototype back in mid May ( Im under the weight so didnt bother trying them). They were being used by a German called Chriz . He is in a video that Martin posted, quite possibly on said prototype ( I didnt think to look to be honest). He is definatly doing a flip on them in Zackis' 'Memories of Mallorca' vid. So yes the prototypes have been in test for some time. It also seems Pro Jump have been doing pretty much the same with their new model and not releasing till they are totally happy ( see the Springs Graveyard thread)

well seeing what swebounce can do on um im very exited. not that im in the right weight to use them tho...well not that i know of.

The prototype hasn't been proven over long times so unless someone has them for a couple months it means nothing, because as you said, it is peoples experiences that really counts.

I know a couple of serious bockers which are NOT vendors or the like who got them after Palma de Mallorca and use them since then. So you can be sure that they are tested intensly by very good bockers.

(some of these bockers are active on this forum but since it is a prototype test they are not allowed to reveal details of the testing).

By the way I have already tested them also but only for an hour in Palma. In my personal opinion they are very good I would even risk to say they are better than Powerskips, but to be confident about this statement I would have to test them longer, what I will do soon.

I reccon the last ultimate test should be --give a pair to tundraH   and see if they survive a weekend with him in bournemouth ( yep he broke another spring this weekend - oh and sheered a hoof clear off)

[Trip Master]

I think Tundrah should be renamed the destroyer 

[English-tailor]

He's the Spring Slayer!!!!!

[bobmanm80]

the welded on bit of metal just fell off the bottom with the rubber still on there lol...and these are poweriSers too i think locky has the photos of this
oh and he broke a CF spring yet again lol...makes you wonder if the CF was a good idea for bocks as powerskips dont have them

[poweriser kid]

i accualy hope that they dont put these carbon fiber springs in production at all
TBH they are just danjorus
pk

[jono]

Well the quicker they come out the better 

[Sprog]

I demand Photos of the incident!

[jono]

Lol sprog. When tundraH went to jump over this bench thing it was if a gun shot went off i looked over and there was him on the floor with his hoove off and his spring snapped

[Jump-UP]

Lol sprog. When tundraH went to tump over this bench thing it was if a gun shot went off i looked over and there was him on the floor with his hoove off and his spring snapped

Lol, i would like to see that

[Trip Master]

Hope Spring Slayer the Destroyer was OK and will be fit enough to break more carbon springs in the future.

[tundrah]

It didn't hurt but i only just made the jump as I only had one spring propelling me.  This spring did not give me any warning which was very strange, they normally make a cracking noise quite a bit before they actually break.  The only thing is that this was BmthBlokes RiSer's but I will be getting them fixed up for him.

@ Trip Master, I have just ordered a lovely pair of Powerskips.  They're a birthday pressie to myself, a month early.  So I may not be breaking any carbon springs for a little while, at least until my upwings turn up.

I reccon the last ultimate test should be --give a pair to tundraH   and see if they survive a weekend with him in bournemouth ( yep he broke another spring this weekend - oh and sheered a hoof clear off)

Lol thanks Q, nice idea but I don't think Mr 7 leagues would like me to be breaking any of his S-rex's.

I'd just like to add that I don't go on a mission to break mine or anyone elses Bocks, it just happens.  I don't know if it is bad luck or me putting too much effort into my jumping. lol

[jackweedon]

if they are not out before the london meet then i cannot come as my powerizers have now died!
