Added a few more to the first post including the following:
Powerbock is the general name used for jumping stilts regardless of the brand name. The name "Powerbock" has derived from the surname of the original inventor and patent holder Alexander Böck. Sometimes people often refer to the stilts simply as "Bocks" - Also see "Powerbocking" and "Powerbocker"
Bottoming Out A term used to describe the effect that occurs when a PowerBocker manages to get the maximum compression from their springs. (Maximum compression is basically when you can’t bend your springs any further)
Powerbocking refers to the activity / sport of using these jumping stilts. Also see "Powerbocks" and "Powerbocker"
Powerbocker (s) refers to the user or users using the jumping stilts. Also see "Powerbocks" and "Powerbocking"
TYRE SOCK The tyre sock is a cover made for the rubber sole of your jumping stilt foot. This “sock” is usually made from a bike / car tyre which is cut to fit and then secured with jubilee clips and / or tape. Invented by Powerbocker Bill Cicio. (In America it’s tire sock, In DK’s world it’s Tyre Boot!)
Variations of the original tyre sock include: PinHead69’s “Tie up tyre sock” and Jason’s world first quick release "hoofies" and "studdies".
Tyre Boot see Tyre Sock
Tire Sock see Tyre Sock
Ties Up tyre Sock A variation of the original “Tyre Sock”, where laces are used to secure a made to measure tyre sock, eliminating the need to use jubilee clips and tape. Invented by PinHead69. Also see “Tyre Socks”
Hoofies A variation of the original Tyre Sock, which uses a different type of rubber to that of the traditional tyre sock. This also incorporated a quick release method which means you can take them off in seconds. Also see “Tyre Socks” and “Studdies”
Studdies A variation of the original “Tyre Sock” for use of grass or muddy surfaces. Using the same design as the “Hoofies” but with football boot studs added to the sole. Also see “Tyre Socks” and “Hoofies”

PinHead69’s Straps – A quick release version of knee straps made using webbing, buckles and Pinhead69’s TLC
