That looks rather tiring.

/watches "In disguise!" roll off into the sunset in a wheelchair.
I want a pair. I could run like [b][i]KENYANS![/i][/b] :)
When one of those springs break you are definitely breaking a bone, not to mention the spring will probably fly up your ass with tremendous force
Holy shit. I wonder what it feels like to parkour with these on.. :D Any idea what is the best place to order them in Europe?

I ... I didn't even know these things were real.
Where could I purchase these in US?
That's like 20 mph... I can race people on bikes! I saw these on a commercial once... For master card. It was about good ideas and how they would take off. Tons of people where wearing them. I wondered what made them so special... but being able to run as fast as a car in a driveway is a good idea.
Wish they showed more of the sprinting in the video, sounds like the most fun practical application of these. I couldn't handle those flips, it's like being in an invisible drier.
I see people with these on all the time. They irritate me.

[QUOTE=GoreLeech][img]http://rawartint.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/pistorius.jpg[/img] Yeah, kinda like that.[/QUOTE] That is funny and awesome at the same time. [url]http://www.powerizerz.com/models.html[/url] The advanced models are almost $600.
I got a Pair of them, too :D
[QUOTE=Carbon P4nda]That's what I said. [b]Edit:[/b] There's lots of names for them. We just call them Pogo stilts becuase it best describes them.[/QUOTE] The official ones are poweri[b]s[/b]ers. With an 'S'.
I remember getting myself weighed correctly before ordering a pair of Powerisers, although I never did :(. I still want a pair. (Adult Pair - They look awesome)
If I had money to blow, I would so buy a pair of these.
[QUOTE=darkride196] [B]MAXIMUM SPEED![/B][/QUOTE] I'm sure you meant "ludicrous". Anybody here seen somebody with them firsthand to get an approximation of speed when running?
[QUOTE=Roboticist]I'm sure you meant "ludicrous". Anybody here seen somebody with them firsthand to get an approximation of speed when running?[/QUOTE] Well it is not so much speed, as it is strides. My teacher has a pair and he moves faster than the top sprinters at School. Basically you just have a larger step so you move slightly faster, I would say about 15 to about 20 MPH, maybe.
[QUOTE=E7Fan]Well it is not so much speed, as it is...he moves faster...[/QUOTE] Oh, that was brilliantly worded. [QUOTE=E7Fan]I would say about 15 to about 20 MPH, maybe.[/QUOTE] Thank you for that, though.
DO WANT. :excited:
[QUOTE=bord2tears]I want these to get to class, that would be epic. I would be known around campus, running 40km/h![/QUOTE] Yeah, people would also kick the shit out of you and ridicule you too.
I want these just to run superhuman fast
[QUOTE=CubeManv2]We arn't fucking kangoroo's you look fucking retarded with them on. I'll push anyone over i see with those on.[/QUOTE] This is why youths carry knives.
[QUOTE=Linµx]Yeah, people would also kick the shit out of you and ridicule you too.[/QUOTE] Why? Just because they're doing something fun, you got to ruin it? Also my campus has too many cops, that'll tase you bro.
Cheap ripoff of british Powerizers. :(
I think we should start surgically attaching these to our legs. Fuck riding a bike or even driving.
[QUOTE=tenka]Who said anything about springs? The most powerful pogo sticks use form of elastics to get the bounce :downs:[/QUOTE] The guy in the video said springs
[QUOTE=Linµx]Yeah, people would also kick the shit out of you and ridicule you too.[/QUOTE] haha someone's jealous.
