Thankyou lol and also ive got the 80 kg , normall adult ones and i wanna try flips and stuff ? can i do this stuff on these projumps or do i need more expensive ones ?

They will be fine, but make sure you try the flips in a gym with adequate crash mats. The Jurrassic Jumpers and the Essex Bockers have regular gym meets. If you are near either I am sure you would be most welcome to go along.

Best tip I can give you is wear wristguards knee and elbow pads and a helmet later once you've got used to them you can pad up less but to start with get pads (I didn't use wristies and payed for it with nearly 6 weeks no bocking and I now have an odd shaped wrist)

Apart from that just have fun and go to meets (it's so much more fun with a few people)

yh i have a local gymnastics center where on friday nights they have youth club where you can go in and do whatever you want for £3.50 but idont know if they will let me in with them 

And yh im looking into getting some pads ... specially rist ones and shine because it half hurts falling on your hands lol and the bar rubs your shins alot

Hey Jonny

Welcome to the forum, just take all the advise above and you will be fine

It's a good idea to check out the FAQ section as it deals with loads of the common questions.

I'd recommend some wrist guards, and some knee / shin pads too check out the following thread for safety gear and why it's needed   http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1052.msg12257#msg12257

A lot of people have managed to let gyms let them use the facility so good luck   and it's a great price too!

Also don't worry you can do everything on the Pro-Jumps that you can on the more expensive stilts, however it all depends on your skills so get practicing and you'll be flipping very soon... But remember theres loads of other tricks that you can try out first as well.

yep listen to jason as he knows the need for wrists  guards now still makes me cringe slighty looking at the pics of his broken wrist
