Soup guyzz.

Last week I bought a pair of these:

Powerizers!

Description from the websss: PoweriZers are super-muscles that enhance your natural strength. Curved springs attach to the bottom of the PoweriZers and harness the gravitational energy that is created when you put your weight down. The super-charged springs push back, giving you the ability to run and jump incredible distances!!

The most fun I have had outside for a while!

It took me about 20minutes to be able to walk unaided; they're surprisingly difficult!

But after about 2 hours of practising I can now confidently run and jump (nothing fancy yet!)

Technically, after moar practice I should be able to:

- jump six feet in the air

- run with nine feet strides

- run at over twenty miles per hour

epic.

This is what I'm aiming for!

Comments? / anyone else have a pair?

I suppose it's ok in that cute little perfect American Suburb but you're just gonna get laughed at + jacked + arrested by the police on terrorism charges over here if you wore that outside.

Yeah it owns but you can fall an amazing HUGE if you are still a n00b at it
Practice but take care of your body, use some kinda helmet and knee and elbow pads.
Good luck and dont forget to post your video when you rock around

Yeah, a helmet and knee-pads are essential.

And yeah, they're actually are good exercise, it surprised me!

On my first attempt outside I fell over (comical stomach slide style) on the path next to a queue of traffic. very embarrassing.

A few little kids were like OMG DO A BAKFLIPPP and the old people I saw where just confused!

I'll get a vid up asap.

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.

I pwned with a pogo stick when I was younger, and these look awesome. Is it like a pogo stick attached to each leg or something? I demand videos of you making a fool of yourself showing off your skills with these.

make sure you check them every time before you use them. Wouldn't want one breaking in half after jumping six feet in the air.
