My first day on Powerisers was HUGELY disappointing, for exactly that
reason. They were so stiff that I could bounce no more than six inches,
which was a far cry from the six FEET I'd been promised! However, if
you stick with it, and use some good spray graphite lube on all the
joints, and get your technique down, it'll get better.

The technique I found most useful was "hate the ground". When you
bounce, really try to stomp the earth to get as much flex into the
springs as possible.

Your neighbor is a big LOSER. ;-)
