Calf Cuff For Jumping Stilts

Friday, May 15th, 2009

Have you heard of the CALF CUFF?

It’s a new cutting edge part that fits most jumping stilt models….and it’s now available in the USA as a add-on part for your existing model. And if you are in the market to buy jumping stilts, the CALF CUFF is now included on few models available in the USA. This part replaces the foam knee bar and changes everything regarding the comfort and fit of jumping stilts.

Take note, the foam knee bar will soon be obsolete.

The manufacturer of Air-Trekker Jumping stilts has heard the concerns around the world of the loose fitting, wobbliness of Mr. Boeck’s knee bar design. (Mr. Boeck initially designed his units, and still manufacturers his Powerskips with the foam knee bar.)

USA Air-Trekker users and European jumping stilt users alike sent many emails stating that they just could not achieve ideal comfort because the knee bar never fit tight enough. Many have added foam padding around the foam knee bar, used knee pads, some even wrappred straps around their legs and the bar to try to get a tighter fit. All these methods work……but now the worry and hassles of a loose fit is gone!

The jumping stilt industry listened and now has answered.

Introducing the CALF CUFF! What used to be reserved for the highest end models……the $500.00 plus models……..is now available as an add-on for YOUR units.

The manufacturer of Air-Trekker jumping stilts has designed a high end CALF CUFF part to easily fit into YOUR existing jumping stilts. Installation is simple, the fit is extraordinary, and now the cost is very affordable.

“The CALF CUFFS rule.” says Mr. Loesser, a jumping stilt performer, who performed at our president’s inauguration party. “There’s no comparison. I’ve used expensive Powerskips with the knee bar for years, and when I bought a pair of Air-Trekker EXTREMES with the new CALF CUFFS, I insisted my team buy these new units. To go big, and have the confidence to perform any trick, any time, I want my stilts to fit like a glove around my leg, a tight glove. The CALF CUFFS provide this fit.”

CALF CUFFS are made of 3″ wide, heavily padded nylon straps that over lap and are secured with a big velcro strap. The velcro fastener allows any shape, or thickness, a secure, tight fit.

This padded strapping part is attached to the same type of aluminum tubes that your current knee bar is made of. Therefore you can simply slide the knee bar out and the CALF CUFF in.

If you bought a pair of Air-Trekker, Flying Jumper, or Powerstrider jumping stilts - adult model with knee bar - after 12-1-07 - and you simply are tired of the trying to get the fit tight and secure enough, check out the CALF CUFF.

Testimonials from buyers of units that have the CALF CUFF part already installed are pouring in and they are all positive. The CUFFS make putting on jumping stilts a snap, and the fit is perfect everytime. Secure and tight. Some have even stated that the CALF CUFFS reduce the learning curve 90%. Others say the CUFFS just make jumping much more fun!!

5 Things To Do On Jumping Stilts

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

As if jumping around at heights of 6′ and running at speeds of up to 25mph aren’t enough here are some other things you can do on jumping stilts.

  1. 1 on 1 basketball.  Your opponent can have stilts too but bonus to you if they don’t.
  2. Head downtown and walk around on a busy day.  If you dont like attention avoid this one because people will flock to you to ask you about your stilts.
  3. See how fast you can run. Find one of those signs the police department set up and test your speed.  If you  happen to live in Australia maybe you can challenge a kangaroo to a race?

  4. Go find tall fences and look over them.
  5. Make Money $$ Tomorrow I’ll cover five ways to make money using your jumping stilts.

1st Time On Jumping Stilts

On Jumping Stilts For the 1st Time

On Jumping Stilts For the 1st Time

From A Satisfied Customer

Gary,

I wanted to let you know I got the jumping stilts that I ordered.  Wow is all I can say!  It’s been rainy the past couple days and so I’ve been forced to just sit and look at them as they hang out in the corner of my office.  I’ve passed waiting for the sun to come out by reading and re-reading the manual that comes with them and going thru all of the how to videos you have on youtube.

Then today the sun finally broke.  Even though I had tons to get done today  I decided that it all could wait.  As I was strapping them on for the first time I was both nervous and excited.  I consider myself pretty athletic and have a pretty good sense of balance but I wasn’t looking forward to falling from that high up.

After getting strapped in I hopped up and started taking some tentative steps around.  So far so good..After a few minutes of just walking around trying to get a feel for them I started hopping a little.  Nothing big but just a couple to see how they reacted.

The biggest thing I found is it takes a minute to learn what angle you want to come down at.  Too far forward or backwards and it throws you off balance.  But when you find that sweet spot and the springs work their magic lifting you effortlessly into the air you know you’re hooked.

Within 15-20 minutes I felt really comfortable and was able to bound fairly high and run without serious concern of falling.  I will be completely honest and tell you I did fall once when I was trying to jump really high.  Thankfully I had invested in some wrist guards and they made the fall painless.  Getting back up is a trick though. It took me a second but I was up jumping around again in a few minutes.

All in all I would suggest getting a pair of Air-Trekker Jumping stilts to anyone.  Not only are they a great work out (found out just how out of shape I am) but they’re just plain fun.  The only thing you have to be concerned with is all of the weird looks you get from people who are jealous of your new toys!
