Jumping Stilts

Perform Unlimited Big Air Tricks with Jumping Stilts!

Jumping stilts were created for the purpose of moving faster and easier. They are a cross between stiff, wooden walking stilts and a trampoline. You stand 18" off the ground without moving and when you do move, it feels like you have a mobile trampoline strapped to your legs - bionic! Jumping Stilts are made of a light-weight aluminum frame and carbon fiber springs.

Once strapped on, the 3 foot long, space-age, carbon-fiber springs are ready to send you into orbit - if you choose. By means of compression and deflection, similar to a trampoline, the spring accumulates, stores and returns the amount of energy you put into it. The harder you press down - the more energy you accumulate - the bigger the return.

Your weight, age and cahonas determine what model and spring strength to purchase. Like learning to ride a bike, the first few attempts can be tricky. And you will fall, just like your first days on a bike.

We strongly urge all buyers to read the guide manual thoroughly, understand the safety instructions and use common sense and caution.   One should initially practice on grass until they can jump and run with confidence.  Understanding the concept of safety first is highly recommended. 

Jumping Stilts Safety Tips

All professional cyclists wear helmets. Sure they rarely fall, but they always wear a helmet for the unexpected. After a few weeks of using your jumping stilts, you will come to realize that you no longer are falling, but good judgment should always rule.

Regardless of how much you improve or the confidence you acquire using your jumping stilts, it is wise to wear the helmet at all times. Jumping Stilts are extreme! You can jump extremely high off the ground so get, and wear, a suitable safety helmet that is comfortable and fits correctly. You never know when the unexpected will arrive.

Wearing wrist guards and elbow pads is also strongly recommended, especially during your learning phase. If you want to see how it feels to fall on jumping stilts, stand on a 2 foot tall deck or stool, and fall.

Many of you who are skateboarders and who participate in other action sport activities have learned the basics of falling. But, by just standing on jumping stilts, you'll realize it's a long way to the ground. Protect your wrists and elbows.

Make sure you wear elbow and wrist guards that strap securely around your hands and arms. You will fall, a least a few times, especially in the during the initial few weeks of use.

Wearing knee pads or shin guards are also a good idea. Knee pads will protect your knees if or when you fall on cement. Also, if you are buying the standard adult model with the foam knee bar, knee pads will make the jumping stilts fit a bit tighter. Again speaking in terms of safety first, don't risk a hard fall that injures your knees when you're running and jumping around during the first few months.

Safety gear: helmet, wrist guards, elbow pads and knee pads can be purchased at any sporting goods store. No one is invincible so obey the fundamental rules of safety when your jumping stilts arrive. Please read the guide manual and watch the instructional videos. Address safety gear seriously because one accident without protection may cause a serious injury.

Will Jumping Stilts Help Get you in Shape?

Absolutely! Simply walking and running on jumping stilts will raise and keep your heart rate at optimal aerobic conditioning levels. Some statistics show that, you can possibly burn at least 600 or more calories per hour. If you run or jump around aggressively, you can experience anaerobic conditioning levels fairly quickly and conveniently without leaving your front yard. If you are bored with stair step machines and treadmills, give jumping stilts a try.

These units can be the funnest exercise equipment you'll ever use. No more pounding the roads, or trips through traffic to the fitness gym, jumping stilts can replace your standard exercise routines of walking, jogging, or any core muscle development routine. Need stronger and more shapely legs, hips and abs? Jumping stilts will whip these core muscle groups into shape remarkably fast and you will have a wildly fun time doing it!

Using Jumping Stilts for the first time:

You may proudly say that your legs are strong or your are in good cardiovascular shape. And indeed you may be correct. If you are on a regular exercise regiment, or you participate in other extreme sport activities you may have a head start when using jumping stilts.

But make no mistake about it, you are in for something completely different when you strap on a pair of jumping stilts. Many users have testified that their legs felt like wet noodles after the first few sessions of use. Others admit that they were out of breath in minutes. Take it easy during the first month. As with any new exercise, gradually work your way up.

In no time, you will begin to realize that your legs, hips and mid section are tight, incredibly strong and powerful. You will be able to use the stilts longer, and soon your heart won't feel like it's popping out of your chest. You will be in incredibly good shape - easily and quickly!

While learning the basic movements of jumping stilts, (for example the first day you strap them on) it is the recommended that you hold onto a rail or fence or utilize the assistance of a friend or someone who already is using jumping stilts on a regular basis.
It won't take long but stay relaxed and be patient getting the feel of balance and knowing how to generate bounce in the springs. Learning these concepts while holding onto something or someone is using good judgment. Please review several of our jumping stilts how to videos located under the appropriate tabs on this site.

Jumping stilts are really not as risky or scary as they look. After 2 year of US distribution the injuries users have incurred are remarkably minimal. Please realize, you are not going to be jumping over cars or running 25 miles an hour in a few weeks. Like any sport it takes time to master the art. Tiger Woods or Lance Armstrong were not stars overnight. Simple running and jumping is fairly safe as long as you use common sense.

Flying down cement stair cases, while traversing the rail and skipping several stairs at a time, is not sensible during your first week. Never fail to wear a helmet, knee, wrist and elbow pads for your safety. These incredibly fun, extraordinary jumping stilts will allow you to jump high, run fast, and walk in ways you could not dream of! You will feel bionic, super human. It gives a brand new meaning to the term extreme sports! Or extreme exercise. Use responsibly
