Jumping stilts are an up and coming form of extreme sport, mostly in Europe but catching on in NA. These things are really fun, you really can jump high and run fast with little practice. I just wanted to see if anyone else is into these, if you're interested in parkour, trampolines and the like you should really look into them, they are really fun. Pro video Here's an example of what people can pull of on these things. | ||

There are a group of us who have now moved on to doing advanced parkour tricks while skateboards are strapped on to these. Also while chewing bubblegum. Oh and blindfolded too. Gotta step your game up. | ||

No. There is no possible way a bit of potential spring energy will propel someone 9 feet into the air. | ||

It's a lot like being on a trampoline everywhere you walk. I even outsprinted one of my friends on them, by a lot. People can hate on them if they want but they are a good time, as valid as any other activity or excercise. | ||

Guy in another video said the stilts add about a foot and a half when walking. Then anywhere between 5-6 feet when you jump. So a 6 foot person can easily get their head up to 10-11 feet. Imagine shaq or some pro baller, that would be nuts. also at the end it says you can run up to 25 mph and jump your own height. another site to buy them http://getjumpingstilts.com/ | ||
