Everyone I know that owns a pair of jumping stilts thinks they are great and uses them all the time, whether its for transportation or just for fun.Once you learn to use your stilts properly, you can use them to work overhead or even reach things that you normally couldn't. Just think, with stilts you know longer have to walk your dog, you can run along side them at full speed and for great distances. Remember on your stilts you can do nearly 20 miles per hr, depending on your size and strength.You can also jump with your jumping stilts up to 6 feet high, again depending on your size, strength and balance. I dont know what I would do without my stilts. I use them to get everywere, they are inexpensive and save a bundle on gas.
