so jumped in b4 i read your post.
 
F*ck useing stilts at ten foot high!

Whats wrong with the M2's I thought they looked quite good.
 
I borrowed some M2's the other week and they felt f**k**g terrible. I also forgot to give you lot a laugh as I stripped on a cable while wearing my Skywalkers a couple of weeks ago and crashed down in much agony :(, still I got up and bent the stilts back into shape and got back on them and trowelled up :)

dnt like these ones they look good so i tried a guys on sit but they were dead strange to walk in. mine are marshel town nbut the original design.
 
horrible mate theres no spring on the back so if youre stepping back for a sweep on a ceiling it feels too rigid
 
Apparently there designed to be fully adjustable and once adjusted to suit you there the best out there ???
Its like a motorbike suspension on a sports bike,its needs to be adjusted for the weight/ height and riding style of the induvidual to get the most out of it.But what most people do is just get on it and ride it,exactly the same principle with the stilts.
You just get on them and use em,if there not set up for you or not.
Marshall town spent a lot of time money and research into these new mt2's stilts and they didnt do it for nothing guys?????
 
Anyone got a close up photo of the new quick change mechanism on them?

Them screws on the old type were a bit of a nause to be honest.
 
think about it youre gonna be on one height per set what would you rather do show off to youre mates about the fancy sliding adjustable height ...........mine broke btw...........or be comfy for 8 hours .....there f.u.c.k.i.n.g w.a.nk. honest ;)
 
To be honest i just got a cheap set of ebay and they do the job,dig in a bit around the leg,but do what i need,i try to use hop ups and planks most the time.
 
cool next time i have s*x with my missus ill have a toss into the jonny then put it on.........wont she think im being a bit selfish ???

must admit did like the quick change and the rachet leg and foot straps
 
To be honsest with ya.i wouldnt spend that kind of money on a pair of stilts,i only buy good kit esp power tools mine all dewalt or hilti,but for a pair of stilts i woulnt use that much no way.
Maybe if i was skimmin in them all day everyday things would be different,but then id go for the most comfortable and adjustable not the mose expensive!!
The mt2's look the most adjustable and comfortable on the market from pictures so if my cheapy ebay ones let me down maybe ill buy a set!!
 
if your stilts are digging in abit get a pair of thick socks cut feet of and pull them up where they are needed just under your knees simples
 
Cheap ebay jobbies are the best by far!
i've got two sets one 15''-23 and one 24''-40''.
perfect... just keep em sprayed up with silicone spray.
big ones ARE rather scary tho!!!
:o
 
just found out they call them ''supa stilts'' and are marketed as ''identical to the leading brand Dura and Marshaltown''. ha ha

supa with an 'a'... class!!!! ::)
