THE AIR-TREKKER CZ - Best Jumping Stilt On The Planet?

Monday, December 13th, 2010

Why are the CZs so much better than any other jumping stilt?

For years, 99% of all jumping stilts were made by (2) authorized global manufacturers.  Most parts on ALL jumping stilts were virtually the same.  (Look - they are!)

Until now!!!    The Air-Trekker CZs now trump all existing jumping stilts models in quality and performance.  Nothing is even close.  They perform even better than the $2500.00 models.

1. The CZ is bigger, but lighter. Each unit weighs 2 pounds less than the M115. Also, the user stands 2” taller than the M115. Finally, with no moving parts - the CZ is very quiet.  They literally make no noise!

2. The key advantage/difference the CZ has over the M115 model is the new leaf spring design, which has been greatly upgraded.  The TN-863 nanometer spring is characterized by small volume, light in weight, and good elasticity.  These springs are very durable and extremely responsive.

3. The CZ frame is completely redesigned: New materials and shape:  High strength aluminum lithium.  (Same material used to create the space shuttle gas tank.) While the M115 is simply extruded/bent aluminum.

4. The CZ does not have an aluminum sleeve on the lower leg for weight reduction.

5. The CZ’s support brace under the footplate was redesigned as 145 degree, tubular arc, which reduces the concussion of external force on the spring. It’s also much lighter.

6.  The old knee bar attachment mechanism (4 bolts) has been replaced by a hi-tech, bicycle-seat type, quick splitter for fast easy adjustments.  No tools are needed!!!!

7. All CZ models have our high end snow board bindings.  No more standard, plastic bindings.  Previously, these bindings were only available on the EXTREMES, until now.  Now they are on ALL Air-Trekkers CZs.

8. To reduce weight further the CZ removed the plastic foot plate which you can see in the picture above.

9.  Tough, abrasion resistant footpads were redesigned on the CZ for easy and affordable replacement.  High quality PU mixing rubber is used so the serviceable life of the footpad is lengthened considerably.

10. Although all Air-Trekker EXTREMES still come with the very popular “calf cuff part, ALL our adult models now come with a dramatically upgraded knee bar. This CZ adult model now comes with a leg stabilizer wrap that is attached to the inside of the knee bar.  This protector allows a tighter, and much more comfortable fit.

11. The Air-Trekker brand of jumping stilts only offer the CZ-AL (aluminum) model. The CZ-FE (iron) model is a similar design but it’s very heavy. (Other licensees carry this product.) Air-Trekkers has decided that America does not want heavier units, and are not importing this FE (iron) model.

Protect your Air-Trekker Springs

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

The most important “part” on an Air-Trekker Jumping Stilt is the carbon fiber leaf spring.   Although it is made with millions of tiny fibers epoxed together, it is not indestructible.  We strongly recommend you be very careful NOT to damage the spring.  So protect them!!

How?

1. The most popular method jumpers use is to wrap electrical tape around the springs.

2. Or go to PROJUMPFORUM.COM.   This is our sister brand located in the UK.  “Naz” runs a great business and claims that the UK is 3-4 years ahead of the USA in jumping stilt market penetration.  This forum is full of great ideas.  You will find many methods of protecting your springs there.

3. Mr. Benedict, from the USA sent us the following link showing his innovative way to protect his springs.

The more you fall on hard surfaces, the more you knick the spring…….the shorter the life expectancy of the spring. Protect them!!

An Innovative Way To Add Padding to Air-Trekker Knee Bars.

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

The adult model Air-Trekker jumping stilt features a padded knee bar that you slip you foot and leg through.  The knee bar rests just below you knee cap.  Although nothing needs to be added to begin jumping, many have found that adding some padding to the knee bar, creates a much tighter fit around the upper calf.  A tighter fit gives the jumper more stability and confidence.

How you do add padding?

1.  Go to YouTube and search:  Air-Trekker padding.

2. Or check out the video below sent to us by Zach Benedict.  The video below is his idea.  Way to go Zach.

Air-Trekkers are a Hit in Summer Parades

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

img_16181We want to thank the fine folks in Jackson, NJ for sending us some photos of how they are using Air-Trekker Jumping Stilts for entertainment purposes.   Air-Trekkers are quickly becoming a “must have” for community parades and commercial events.  The Glow In The Dark Parade, an event at one of the more respected east coast amusement parks, features costume entertainers bouncing on Air-Trekkers.

Another entertainment company, New England Nightmare, is using Air-Trekkers to make their monsters and clowns stand 8′ tall.

We’ve also learned that one of our Air-Trekker buyers in Lower Michigan, booked parades all summer long.  That’s right walking, bouncing, and running on his Air-Trekkers have become his summer job.  He says he feels like a rock star on his Air-Trekkers. We’ll have to add this to our list of ways to make money using jumping stilts.img_16192

Air-Trekkers Vs. Powerisers

Friday, April 30th, 2010

There’s often a lot of brand confusion when buying jumping stilts.  You can even find articles written about it.  If you ask the other manufacturers they’d tell you that our product quality is inferior to theirs when in reality that’s a bogus claim.  So give us a call and let us prove to you Air-trekkers are the jumping stilts to have.

Check out this testimonial we just received from a buyer!

“The wind slowed down and i got outside and fixed the cuffs to the perfect setting.

I love them!  They solve every problem I had with the powerisers.  I am immediately running faster and more confidently than I ever have in the year that I had the powerisers due to the increased stability afforded by the reduction in moving parts.

I love the silence with which they operate.  they really are whisper quiet.  you could sneak up on someone at 20 mph with these things.  The only problem that I’m having with them so far is that the stiffness is difficult to get used to.  with the lazier springiness of the fiberglass, there was more time to get the technique correct in each jump — i’m going to have to practice with these before i’m jumping like i was with the powerisers, but i can already tell they will surpass them in performance.  the lightness of the frames is luxurious.

I am no longer  finding myself worried that i won’t be able to get my foot in the right place before i hit the ground.  the powerisers seem clumsy and awkward compared to these.

these are definitely a superior model and were well worth the purchase.  now if i can only find someone to take the old powerisers off my hands, i’ll be all set!

ADULT vs. EXTREMES - What’s the difference?

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

In early 2009, at the request of many licensees, our manufacturer made available a few part upgrades.  The main request by the licensees was to offer buyers a higher-end unit with a more customizable fit.

The parts of a jumping stilt that could be easily upgraded to allow more customization were the ”knee bar” and the “foot bindings”.    So they upgraded these parts and created a new model - THE EXTREME.    For about $100.00 more in cost, buyers get about $170.00 worth of upgraded parts.

These “fitting” parts are the only difference between the two models.

The generic knee bar, which is very protective yet is made for people from 110 pounds to 240 pounds…..was replaced with a “calf cuff”, a series of thick velcro straps that can be wrapped around the leg as tight or as loose as you want.   This part can also be raised and lowered like the knee bar, and also widened and narrowed to fit YOUR leg.

The plastic foot bindings on the adult model were replaced with high-end snowboard bindings.  These thick rubber straps, along with durable metal buckles are very durable.

The frame, the springs, and the feet on both models are the same.

Your kids will love these jumping stilts!! The youth model has been completely redesigned. It’s 20% lighter than the older model - so kids can maneuver, run and jump with ease and minimal fatigue. Durable velcro leg straps, along with built in shin pads allow an instant tight, and comfortable, fit - even for the thinnest legs. You requested a lighter and tighter fit for the youth models - this new design delivers.

Newly designed frame is made with strong light weight aluminum. Replaceable foot pads. New manufacturing technology delivers extremely safe, durable, carbon fiber springs. Exclusively introduced to the USA by the importer at the lowest possible prices. These high quality jumping stilts, built to last for years, ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ELSE! Jump up to 6 feet high. Run as fast as you want. Strapped in, you stand only 11″ off the ground, so these units are very safe, even if you fall.

These new YOUTH MODELS are NOW AVAILABLE in the USA. Exclusively sold here: You can not buy these upgraded youth models ANYWHERE else.   Unfortunately for the second year in a row, we sold out of the most popular size in just a few days.   More are due to arrive in the USA late 2-10.   

But we also have found out that these new youth models’ springs are much stiffer than the 2009 models.  If your son or daughter weighs up to 90 lbs. please consider the F30s.   Many buyers who bought the F50s over the holidays stated that they could hardly bend the springs at first.  They are stiff.  Your son or daughter will have much more fun with the F30s if they are under 95 pounds.
