I saw these for the first time on the MTV event thing, whatever it was..maybe like music video awards or something like that, and I've wanted a pair ever since. There's an AT&T commercial or something that has lots of people with 'em. I googled "spring stilts" and saw someone's personal webpage and they had the link and name for what they're actually called.
PowerSkip (http://www.powerskip.de) They're German. 858 Euro (1100USD). Then there's shipping from Germany to here. I think that would be the best 1100 I could ever save up for and spend. I can only imagine now much fun they are. Mm..I need to find anything and everything that I can sell on eBay so I can get enough to buy a pair.
Damn even if I got down to fighting shape I'd still be too heavy. I'd have to custom order a pair...

I wouldn't mind having a pair. I just think I'd end up hurting myself and they would end up at the back of my closet.

I can imagine some pretty wicked wipe-outs with those things! Looks like it would be an absolute blast!

Yeah, the guy's personal webpage that I found for 'em had him with a helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, shin guards, the foam mouthpiece football players use...the works. 'Course he was attempting a layed-out backflip and had a few crashes, but eventually got it.

Exactly. Run from the police and get away. I was talking to a mate and said "finally, a lazy white guy can compete with a Kenyan in a race."
