Some things are just worth waiting for - The Pro-Jump Exo Range is one of them!

Introducing two new models:
The Pro-Jump Exo and The Pro-Jump Exo Pro

No other jumping stilts have undergone the rigorous testing as has the Pro-Jump Exo range and we are confident you will be very happy with the end product. Using testers of varying skill levels, sizes, bocking styles and some of the most prominent members of the community, the Pro-Jump Exo Range has undergone over a years worth of testing, tweaks and modifications to provide what we believe is one of the best jumping stilts currently available on the market.

If you have any questions fire away

Wooop wanna take your first pre-order Naz
Also will my normaly Pro-Jump cuffs fit them?

[XDvandalDJ]

After reviewing a pair of Powerstrider Olympics a month before they were released state side. I'm wondering, what's been corrected and addressed?


My biggest concerns were this;

 hardware quality, the nuts and bolts stripped easily.

The calf cuff clamp didn't hold strong enough to keep cuffs from twisting.

My feet slide at the heel.

No spring cover.

Now from the picture of the exo model it looks like the clamp assembly is different. But in the exo pros they look the same as the olympics. With that weak hand tightening system.


I'm really hoping you guys fixed all the issues that the olympics had as I actually liked the design better than the standard stilt design. I got like half a foot more air. I couldn't bottom nearly as easily, and they were so light.

Now for anyone buying these. They mean it by not going 10kg over. I use poweriser 90120s and can bottom those things brand new. But on my demo pair of the olympics I had to try to get to the bottom of 70kg springs.

@ DC Yep the knee bar / cuffs are the same as the old model so shouldn't be a problem.
Pre-Order via pm only please!

@ XDvandalDJ Thanks for your reply - here are a list of some of the changes:

All nuts and bolts replaced with better quality ones on both models, this was one of the key changes requested by our testers.

The Heel section is curved in and the back heel plate will be at a 90 angle on Alu model, this will reduce sideways movement and make the heel section more comfortable. 

Spring protection will be provided on both model similar to the M-Series but thicker.

Pro-Jump  Exo model comes with knee bars and stock bindings which are plain black instead of the orange / black ones

Pro-Jump Exo Pro comes with both the knee bar & Calf Cuffs, the quick release clamp has a better quality lever and thicker bolt which is a massive improvement on earlier models.

Pro-Jump Exo Pro Black bindings will remain same as the Pro-Jump+ model, however the  ladder strap will be less stretchy and a bigger washer is used to ensure that the straps do not rip

The design of the rubber soles have undergone five design changes. The full rubber soles are extremely durable

The heel section "A-Frame" has been made stronger by making the part more solid

The rubber stopper is more securely attached

[XDvandalDJ]

That sounds fantastic.

Seems like you addressed all the issues I found with them.

[Biohazard]

If you haven't noticed in the graphic for the Pro's one has calf-cuff one and one doesn't .
I'd love to get these but I'm also wanting to buy a new Laptop and a DSLR, and seeing as I already have Pro-Jumps and don't bock that much anymore I think I'll have to skip on this till later.

[Locky]

I'm wondering if powerstrider had the same quick release system we had on our test model because we've put that baby to hell and back and it was my main worry for some time but not once did we have any problem with it, and that was with several users so the cuffs were adjusted frequently.

I was sold after watching Jake at my Gym meet.

 

[dark-castles2]

I agree with Spawny

XDvandalDJ - If you can pop a picture on we could identify what version you have, I have a feeling it was a very early model.  

[Squeeker]

Excited! :L

[webmaster]

Forgot to mention payment for these will only be taken when they are due to arrive in the warehouse (around the 1st week of November) rather than weeks in advance

Those new stilts look good, I like the fact they have been tested and improved prior to release. Independent testing and genuine feedback is the way to go, and at last you've shown the Chinese the correct way to launch a product into the market place.

I think you'll be getting a couple of stilt manufacturers a bit hot under the collar with these babies. I always new the Chinese stilts would take the lead one day..LOL Dam pleased I got out when I did now  Good luck Naz

XDvandalDJ - If you can pop a picture on we could identify what version you have, I have a feeling it was a very early model.  

I don't own these. I was sent a pair to review for a website a month before they launched state side. It was uh, last december?

You can read my original stupid long write up here

http://powerstilts.blogspot.com/2009/11/powerstrider-cz-series-part-1.html


Since then I recommended a member of my local group to purchase a pair. He's had them for half a year or so and a lot of the flaws have come out. Enough so I wouldn't buy a pair myself.

They cuff clamp on his after about a month would never hold his cuffs straight, despite getting them replaced.

But that seems due to the poor bolts. They strip constantly.

[webmaster]

yes as I suspected these are the very earliest models, after that the model has seen a lot of changes

[lynch]

hey i will be sending you a pm in 10 mins just a fue questions
what is the best spring rating to get as i know in my first year i snapped 2/3 sets of 90 before changing to 70' which have served me well so do i get 70' on these modle
and what is the warranty on the frames and springs
many thanks lynch

[webmaster]

Thanks for the interest guys

@ lynch - Some questions to ask would be how much do you actually weigh, how long you have had the M70's for and how long before you started bottoming them out if you have? If you were going to upgrade and would have gone for the M80's next I would stick with the M70's. If you found the M70's quite stiff when you first got them, or find them to be just right and you are between 60 - 67 kg I may even suggest dropping down to Exo 60's. I'd recommend having a word with Spud as well as the ones she tested she found to be quite stiff so she will be able to provide you with good advise.

The warranty is the same as the M-Series, 3 months on the spring and 6 months on the frame, more details here http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?page=warranty

[lynch]

many thanks on the warranty from the first day i got the 70' i was bottoming them out but getting a good 5 foot height on standing alone jumping and can vault about 6/7 food gates and fences and bottom them out all the time but they still give the same power and have not broken these are the newer projump springs which are a bit squarer than the older modes

but as i wouldnt like to buy the new ones then brake springs like i did with my first fue sets because of me getting the wrong springs and you helping me soo much to get the right set and replacements  

so do you sugest i order 70' or go heigher and go for 80' or would it be possible to sort out getting a heigh set of 70' so ill be in the middle

many thanks
lynch

[webmaster]

From what you have said stick with the 70s but weigh yourself it helps with the decision 

[lynch]

thank you soo much naz i weight 60 kg dead so ill be going for the 70' im just pm you with my order happy happy cant believe they are here

[lynch]

so how many orders do you have naz

[Locky]

Well we're ordering at least 8 pairs lol. I think we're gonna have an Exo party too

[adamessex]

ok so I'm about 98kg most who know me know i'm hard on my stilts, do you think as i'm upper limit of 100's would i be better off with 110's? what the heaviest spring weight with the new ones?

[webmaster]

What are you using at the moment?

[adamessex]

was using s-rex 90-120s was bottoming them out fairly early on i've now warn them out, tried my original m100(99), and the springs weren't to bad but as the bushing an frames were well shot, but i have broken 110 & 120 in the passed
