Cheap Jumping Stilts That Aren’t Cheap

Power Jumping Stilts , Monday, February 1st, 2010

I had my first experience with cheap jumping stilts when I came to L.A. to visit my cousin. I am scared of heights, and I was really scared to try it. It looks like I would not be able to control it. But then he borrowed a shorter one from a friends and wore his so he can jump with me. As I was scared, I had to wear all sorts of safety precautions such as a helmet and knee pads.

I had to use towels and rolled up shirts for my elbow pads as my cousin doesn’t have it. At first try, I jumped 2 ft and then I jumped and jumped until I got comfy to jump into 4 ft. we then went to an open park, people were staring it us. But I did not mind, I’m not from there anyway. We jumped from the garden , basketball court , and to the rink. I had a lot of fun and felt really happy that in my own little way I was able to conquer my fear of height. The next day, he invited more of his friends to jump with us and they were able to jump as high as 7 ft, they had personalized jump stilts in different colors. That was my most memorable event in my stay in L.A., well aside from the fact that I almost got a tattoo.

Nada Buddy.
