Re: What models are available in the Powerskip?

[Jason]

DC I got hold of some bits from broken ones and made the rest
Then copied them to make the second pair all you need it a decent machine shop and loads of time 

Whenever you get down your welcome to try them Spud  the other thing is that the cuffs I use seem to make them easier to use

Your bocks sound epic. You will have to be careful that I don't run of with them 

[dark-castles2]

Jason if you wanna make me some Bet youd charge a hefty price

[Jason]

Finding the time to make anything at the moment is impossible DC but you should have the facilitys at uni and a teacher to help
There is only 3 bits to make for each bock and one is only a 10 min job (the other two are a bit more involved though  )

Running with springs that much above your weight Spud  think even I could catch you

I'd give it a good shot I rum better on tough springs than I do soft ones..but maybe not that tough

OK This thread has my full attention now.
My engineering side is chomping at the bit!!!! Where can I see this moving foot plate? Web Site?

I’m lighting the stove in the work shop now. 

[dark-castles2]

Jason, please may you post full pictures of each 3 bits, how there connected thankyou

Just had a look at Power skip web site. That should be no trouble to make, might be a christmas project for me if this snow sticks!!!
However, need to find out first if its goin to be a move for the better 

[chocl8]

I quite fancy having a go at this, even if i'm not a fan...yet. I'm fairly sure Uni workshops are meant to be abused for doing this kinda thing

[Jason]

I did some rough drawings of two of the bits and started on the third

No promises but I'll have a go at finishing it over the holiday

well iv been on fixed stilts and one day a while ago i tried jason stilts with fixed feet and found the springs so hard couldnt jump on them,then a few weeks later jason had the stilts that he made with moving foot plate but same springs ie ones i could get to bend and haho i was jumping on them with no problem takes abit to get use to they were still hard to bend but less effort,will be making some in the new year just need to go through things with jason over the plans,,his done a good job on his ones,ssshhh dont tell him i said that

[SNuD]

Had my PJ to bit today fitting bushes so took the opportunity to weigh up a mod on the foot plate. No problem with the engineering bit I’m not going to alter anything just in case so I will have to look at making some foot plates completely!
Or should I just wait and try someone else’s first 

[Jason]

Almost got the drawings done so if any of you want a copy PM me your E-mail and I'll send you a copy as soon as I've done them

They are just rough sketches but enough info to make the bits if you have the right gear

Also all measurements worked for me but worth checking against whatever stilts you are making them for

Do you guys think it would pose a problem to attach Powerisers Calf Cuffs on PowerSkip Pros? I never used a knee bar before, and I would like to transfer my cuff to them.

[Hilly-of-the-Marshes]

carl has cuffs on bocks with tilting footplates and it works fine, in fact its quite a nice combo

[Jason]

You are perfectly ok to fit any cuffs to any bocks I have done all of them except Powerisers and have seen them fitted

It is also possible to swap any spring onto any frame (with a little bit of alteration) and most parts from most bocks will fit others with again a little bit of work

Only problems with the cuffs are that 7 brackets and some earlier models of other Bocks are made of a softer plastic and won't hold them tight enough

Skip brackets are totally different and can be tightened up enought to tow a car 

I have in my collection several sets of "Bitsers)

1 Skip uprights and walking feet /Projump feet, springs and support bracket /Homemade cuffs, bindings and hoofies (all on one set)
2 Projump uprights, springs, support bracket and feet /Homemade walking feet, bindings and cuffs
3 Projump frames with Skip springs fitted (2 pairs)
I have in the past fitted 7 springs to Projump and Powerizer frames with total success

And if you have any doubts about Skip/Projump frames ask Tim as he came bl**dy close to flying on mine 

Jason 

Ps all my feet/hoofs are PJ bolton ones as they are the only type I have found that you can change the rubbers and they don't break
PPs before anyone says Skip hoofs they are good but I can't afford them 

[Zeri]

My Dad just ordered me a pair of Powerskip Pros (PS520) for my Christmas present! They will be coming in within the month.
I was wondering what type of shoes do you recommend to bolt on? I was thinking about putting on my tennis/running shoes.

[Jason]

A pair of shoes that are comfy, strong and light
