Power Stilts
Run at 20mph, jump 6ft in the air, perform filps over stuff! No, you havent just gained super powers. You have Power Stilts! With some practise these things can be great fun. Just remember if you perform a 6ft jump at 20mph and don't land it correctly, you will look like a road kill animal curled up on the floor so don't just put them on and think it's easy. Just practise a lot before you even think about doing anything like the stuff in the following video.
Power Stilts is like your Free Running on steroids. But without steroids. Dont take drugs!! You run and jump over things alot with them like in Free Running but try climbing in them and you better pre-book your hospital bed. We recommend that you practise as much as you can with these as it can be difficult to master. When purchasing a pair you should recieve a instruction DVD teaching you the basics. Study this!
Each Stlit consists of a foot-plate with bindings like on a snowboard, arms and pads that come up around your shins, a rubber foot pad which is also known as a 'hoof' and a fibreglass leaf spring.
