Ive only just seen this! Looks great!
Make sure you get loads of photos and videos and stuff as you are making them, so we can see them all coming together!

You could sell them just like Skyrunners do, the illegal way, by just not giving Alex any royalties. It may make him angry though >:(

Wow..CAD has advanced a lot since I was at school.  It was all black and white..and no matter WHAT you made..it came out looking like a chess piece.  This is interesting.  Is it just show? Or is it actually phyisically-sound?

support rods wouldn't bend...well not before that joint where they attach to the footplate does first that is

looks like a pretty good design, and if it fails you can just put the reasons why it fails and get an A for that :D

oh and just don't sell them, then the you'd have royalty paying problemsetc

and two Design technology teachers, and my dad, who's an expert with all things handyman, my brother who got an A in his A level DT coursework etc etc...

as 4 the sidebars bending, im gonna do stress tests on the bars & if they not strong enuff, i'll get summit thicker, & that footplates gonna be very strong, & if it isnt i'll add 2 it & it'll go on my modifications page of my coursework

I think the best thing is how hilly doesn't care about unhelpful critisism as i know how much he has thought about the problems which could occur, because hes talked them through with me....

Apart from cylinders are really strong and don't easily bend. I can't see the footplate folding that easily either.

Looking good but just a couple of pionts which looks wrong !?
The uprights surpports don't look very strong and could bend forward when the spring puts a load on the top of it.
There is not real bracing under the foot plate so unless it's strong could fold when you bounce.
The lower hoof looks  little long which would throw the balance more forward than other types do.

straps? spring? lol, spring was stupidly hard 2 get right, but seeing as im not making it, i could leave it out of the design process, straps i cudnt make on the program either, but it'll all come together, im hopefully gonna use skip springs

and greg, tim's already got 1st go, that way if he breaks summit, i dont need 2 try 'em, lol

It's missing something though I cant quite put my finger on it.

The design looks different. I like the fact you have thought of another way to do things other than just improving/copying standard design
