Air-Trekkers Jumping Stilts Blog

Why it’s so Important in the Jumping Stilt Industry?
Most brands of Jumping Stilts have, as their core, a light
weight, carefully engineered aluminum frame.  These units
have other attachment parts that allow the units to function:
springs, feet, leg braces.

Like the tires on a bike, or shoes on your feet…..these
attachments can wear out….or need upgrading.   These
attachments are also the parts most susceptible to
damage on big crashes.

Damage on Big Crashes?

Yes, like a bike, skateboard, or even a car; if you crash the
well- built, carefully engineered, bike or car hard enough,
they can be damaged.   It can happen.

Also, bockers include the full spectrum of people.  Many are
moderate adrenalin freaks, yet also many are extreme
loonatics; like the Olympic Half  Pipe type of guys.

Out there!  These type of bockers, keep upgrading their units
as they become more experienced.  Their  new strength and
stamina allows them to go bigger, on bigger springs.  It happens.

Anyway, when or if, the time to buy parts arrives, you will
need easy access to quality replacement parts.  Each of the
USA’s brand licensees should have a good stock of replacement
parts. 

If you want quick fulfillment, whether you purchase your
jumping stilts in a store, or online, I recommend calling your
brand licensees.

The people at Air-Trekkers.com, a USA Jumping Stilt licensee,
offer to their buyers a one year warranty on all parts.  The feet
have a (6) month warranty.  They offer replacement parts to
THEIR BUYERS at cost, plus shipping in some cases. 

That’s 25% below wholesale. 

(A pair of springs can be had for $100.00.) 

Better yet, the staff at Air-Trekkers can have your order on
the docks within 24 hours.

As you gain experience, and confidence on your Jumping
Stilts, you will try more radical manuevers.  Initially these
manuevers don’t always work out the way you intend.   Easy 
access to quality parts at rock bottom prices is a great convenience.

Happy Bocking.

2010 Youth Model Feedback (1-26-10)

1.    Many people have called and asked, “Should I get my son the youth model or the smallest adult model - M60?”

If your son/daughter is 13 years old, weighs at least 110 pounds, and is 5 ft. 3 inches tall or taller, then they can buy the Adult Model.   If they are under any of the 3 criteria above, they should use the Youth Model.  The adult model is for teenagers and adults.  They are heavier and much bigger.  Even if you think your 12 year old is big and bold, they simply will not be able to handle the adult model’s size.  And you want your kids to have FUN!!

What size Youth Model should I buy?

Currently we are importing 2 Youth Model sizes.  The F50s are for larger kids.  Even though we advertise that they are for 90-110 pounders, the feedback from holiday shoppers is that kids should be 100-110 pounds to really enjoy the F50s. 

WHY?  The new youth models are completely retooled and the springs are manufactured with newer technologies.  They are much stiffer than the 2009 models.  Several lighter, F50 buyers have called and said they can not bend the springs very well.  Time will loosen the springs but we want your kids to use the Air-Trekkers, and have fun.   Kids have fun when they can bounce around with minimal effort.

The F30s are what 90% of kids should be buying.  95-100 pounders will even enjoy the F30s.   The new springs will support these weight loads.   The F30s are a great and safe beginner product that everyone on the block will enjoy!!!!
