Hi,
if you looked on here http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=204.msg1331#msg1331 you would see the anser to your question but as im already writing i will tell you .


I put about 4 layers if electrical tape on my pro jumps to protect them and it doesnt make them less springy at all.

.. its for extra support and attaching your leg to the Bar.. every one does it up differently..

work out a way to tie it around your leg and the Black knee bar for way more support and comfort of use..

shadowfax...strange that you say that because my brother got projumps and didnt receive the strap thing but i did .
also alot of people ahve velcro on theirs but i have like a clip sort of thing so i think thats somehting they added to them a few weeks ago because ive only had mine like one month or something close to that (but the weather has been rubbish most the time so i havent used them much)

I got mine about 2 months ago, I have a velcro strap behind the knee, but I really need something to keep me knees from knocking on the knee bars. lol

to be honest the extra straps are no good, you should invest in some strong elasticated velcro strap and put them around the knee pad and behind your knee, you must pack your knee using the knee pad, this will stop your problem, pro jump knee/shin pad are great for this, we use them al the time, also have the knee bar set to your leg size and ballance your pjs, this will give you more performanc and safer jumping, i strongly recomend anyone taping your springs to think of safety, for safety reasons we dont do this,it may look cool but you must always be able to inspect your spring, if anyoneneeds more info on this please ask as i dont want to sound borin, chears.
