Whilst your friends are still playing at ground level, you will be able to jump in 6 ft (2m) leaps over them - imagine that! How would you like to run at a lightning speed of around 32 km/h without any extra effort than normal running? In fact it's even easier than normal running because you are power assisted by the PowerStilts™! Do you remember 'The Six Million Dollar Man - Steve Austin? - how he used to run and keep up with fast moving objects? Now it's your turn! You can even execute extraordinary athletic feats including amazing flips with breath-taking heights.
PowerStilts™ are an amazing and truly unique extreme sports apparatus! They can best be described as 'spring loaded jumping boots' or 'jumping stilts'. We call ours PowerStilts™! The Adult PowerStilts™ are a feat of engineering and are definitely NOT described as toys. (The Kids PowerStilts™ (coming soon) are much more so though). They are serious fun for those who want to stand out from the crowd and hop into action! PowerStilts™ are defined mainly by a compressing a controlled flat spring, the result is a straight upward movement relative to the ground. The stored energy (ie: during compression) transposes into upward (jumping) or forward (running) energy. The adult models allow you to jump up to 6 feet high, and run with strides up to 9 feet in length. The difference between the models is the firmness of the spring being used.
PowerStilts™ is recommended for:
- For individuals seeking an extreme alternative to recreation and exercise.
- For training or for leisure.
- Cultivate a brand new adverturous spirit!
- Precious training for a child's mind and body in today's video gaming era.
- Ideal for losing weight and for cardiovasicular exercise no matter if you are athletically-inclined or not. For general walking and jogging PowerStilts™ are very low impact.
- Firms up skiier's and skater's lower torso and abdomen.
- Last but not least, it is great to just blow away your friends and stand out from the crowd!
As with any such physical activity there are risks in using PowerStilts™. Ensure:
- that you wear protective gear including helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist pads.
- that you are in suitable shape / fitness for such activity. Check with your doctor if you are not sure.
For Kids Too!
Kids as young as 10 (girls and boys) are also enjoying the PowerStilts™ fun. The Kids size is simply a scaled down version of the Adults size and has lesser powered springs meaning it does not provide as much lift (jump up to only 3˝ feet). The functionality is otherwise identical.
PowerStilts™ are built tough and made to last! Xworks provides a 3 month part replacement warranty of PowerStilts.
