Hello fellow Poweriser users.

I bought mine a few months ago. I find them to be an excellent
workout in terms of cardio.

I've only had a couple of major problems with mine.

1. The top round section of the frame ( where the foam pad is
located )is too open for my knees/legs giving me the tendency for
side-play. I have to wear soft padding around my knee area to keep my
legs centered in the middle of the frame. This took some
experimenting to get the right thickness padding. Centering your knee
in the middle gives excellent stability promoting confidence to
bounce higher.

2. I too had to find a way to hold my knee/leg up against the front
of the frame.

3. I also noticed that the plastic covers for the springs tear up
easily if you bang them together. The electrical tape idea sounds
good to me. You can also use an inner tube from bicycle tires.

4. I find that running with this version of jumping stilts is harder
than the ones sold at PowerSkips.com It seems that the pivoting
action of the PowerSkips Pro model is a lot more natural as far a
running is concerned. The guy in the video runs like it is so
comfortable and easy.

5. I am planning on designing ( I am a Mechanical Designer ) a
pivoting foot platform similar to the one I saw on the PowerSkips to
replace the stationary one. I would love to use these to run to work
in the mornings.

Well, I hope all of you are having fun with yours. Don't be foolish.
Wear safety equipment. A fall from these things can break bones in a
severe manner. Remember that the impact will be multiplied by weight
and distance and angle from the ground. If you weigh 160lbs an impact
from 6 feet in the air can translate to a force of around 600-1000lbs.
