right finally got on them and jumped around for 20 mins in my lunch brake.

what i found out:-

they take ages to put on lol but have to say they are not coming off lol.

the brand new springs are really stiff for me i hope they loosen up a bit soon was sweating buckets.

and the knee bars are a bit high got to put them down a bit tonight.

the springs:-

like i said they are really stiff at the moment haven't warn them in yet so cant say much.

the spring are really responsive compared to any other brand, i shoot back up as soon as i hit the ground it feels weird but in a good way.

any ideas on how long it will take them to wear in, because i cant be sweating like i am at the moment its no fun lol.

ohhh I'm not sure to be honest, Kiola was the other way round, I thought his new 720's would be dead stiff for him but he finds them pretty bouncy.

You're at the very low end of the bracket for 640's, I think it will take a good few sessions before you get used to them and they soften up a notch. But I think by that time you should get used to them enough to start enjoying them properly and your technique should get better becuase of it  :thumbs:

It's because you are a wimp. :P  Like Naz said, you are right at the bottom of the weight range for extreme user.  I believe extreme user means being experienced and be strong.  You do have the experience but I believe you are missing the strength.  You are lightweight and small in stature (no where bear Ash though, lol).  Both Kiola and I have very strong muscles in our legs and backs.  Ok, maybe some of my compression comes from my weight.

In a way you have become a little lazy with the "lighter" strength springs you have been using.

You have such an ace way of putting things

Some times you have to be cruel to be kind.  Although it helps that you know the person or they can take offence.  he knows I love him, so he won't try to beat me up.

There are always divisions, like boxing:-
Heavy weight :- Me (although officially I'm super hevy weight)
Medium weight:- Kiola
Fly weight:- Joe

brand new springs tryed them for 20mins, it took me about 40-1hour to soften my t-rexs out.
so these skips will do the same. they were getting a little easyer at the end of the 20 mins jumping on them like a crazy man so they will.

and when they do soften up ill show you all whos the wimp, you all will bow down and beg for me to teach you my ways!

(sorry got carried away, been watching troy lol)
