Anyone have a pair of these? Any good?

Just curious, they look quite fun.

Always wanted a pair since I first saw them. I just know that I'd never use them though, unless other people had them.

Burnsey and Scuzi both have them iirc

Azza · 4 Oct 2009 at 21:04

Burnsy has some (though I think he said they got stolen) and so does Scuzi.

I have them. Take a bit of time to get the hang of, but soo much fun.

Scuzi · 4 Oct 2009 at 21:05

I sold mine after I cracked 2 ribs. It's more difficult than it looks

I have a trampoline, thanks

Saw two people on those up 'anley not long back, they looked like a right pair of pillocks.

Don't they put quite a lot of strain on bits that shouldn't have that much strain put on them?

I'm a chubbo and have some of these. I look like a right knob no doubt but I find them pretty easy to walk in and I can just about run and jump a little.

"Extreme" sports like this make me think **** every time.

Heh? Why?

I've seen quite a few guys with them down in Cardiff bay, looks like great fun

The Halk · 4 Oct 2009 at 22:07

I'm not really sure. I just think ****. I realise it's starred out, but it's not a particularly offensive word, I don't feel particularly strongly about it

I think I'm OcUKs resident expert on these. I've been using them for about 3 years now. It's great fun but takes a lot of work both on the technique to use them and muscles that they use.

My best pair did get stolen recently though

That looks like a pretty good way of getting a broken leg.

Well, that's it. I'm sold!

You look like an idiot

You can walk in them fairly easily

and you can just about run and jump.

A little.

I'm yet to have a significant injury from them, despite falling from about 6-7 foot in the air straight on my back.

There you go, they're perfectly safe!

Dude you fell 7 feet onto your back they're deathtraps

That's not to say they're not fun, I'm sure they are, but come on they're lethal

So do I but I don't think you can compare them.

I wanted a paid since I saw them 4 years back but the cost was a bit too high at £200. Don't know if the price has lowered since then. I even got in touch with the distributors to see if I could get a cheap pair to see if I wanted them to sell them in bulk in a shop in Newquay but was only offered RRP for them.

Fenris · 5 Oct 2009 at 01:25

I think of it better than that "free running" thing people seem to be obsessed with right now, considered grabbing a pair a year or so ago, then I realised I hurt myself enough moutain boarding and even after a few years I still can't do anything interesting.
