Title: Jump Boots Post by: Mr. Lothario on May 27, 2006, 08:45:47 pm Found these videos a while back. I want a pair of these things.
Jump Boots Freestyle Video 1 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=09lIbsDXa_A) Freestyle Video 2 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=YDNZzseSeJ8) Jump boots TV commercial (http://youtube.com/watch?v=oMYgYPz-xBg) Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: *DAMN Hazard on May 27, 2006, 09:02:01 pm Thats great! I wonder if the government will ever use these little wonders in combat. Flipping & bouncing tangos.. do I smell a new Clancy title? Rainbow Six: Boot Battalion. Coming to PC tomorrow, on mac never.
I am seriously considering buying a pair of these how much do they run for? The mischief that will unfold will probably be worth the price. Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: Mr. Lothario on May 27, 2006, 09:22:24 pm http://www.powerisers.de/ is the web site of the manufacturer.
Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: BFG on May 28, 2006, 10:28:24 am holy crap thanks loth, i've been looking at those things for ages but couldn't find anyone who actually sold em... im seriously considering a pair heh, putting aside the fact i'd be about fraking 10" high they look like so much god damn fun!
Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: *DAMN Hazard on May 28, 2006, 05:36:24 pm Hmmmm their english site doesn't work for me so I doubt I will be getting my pair =(
Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: Mr. Lothario on May 28, 2006, 08:59:21 pm I hear ya, BFG. Those boots are one of the things motivating me to lose weight. : D
Haz, surely one of the people here who speaks German would translate. Or you could just run it through the Fish. Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: *DAMN Hazard on May 29, 2006, 12:06:01 am Good point toucher of boys. I'm gonna look into that.

Click the translate button. It doesn't get everything, but it should be enough to get to the online order page I think... Got to this part: http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://www.powerisers.de/shop/index.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dpowerisers.de%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG Looks like it's just different jump boots based on the weight in kg they can support. Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: :MoD:Shade on June 02, 2006, 12:15:43 am Anybody looked at how expensive these damn things are?
About $500, a tad rediculous right now, hopefully they'll go down then I might actually consider. Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: Mr. Lothario on June 02, 2006, 06:20:47 am I dunno, considering what they are and how well they're constructed (presumably), it's a fairly reasonable price. $500 is for the 240-pound model, too. The skinny bastards get off cheaper. If I lose enough weight to use them, I'm definitely spending $500 for a pair. Go out and have a nice jog at nearly the same speed as you'd get on a bike, but with more mobility? Sounds good to me.
Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: :MoD:Shade on June 02, 2006, 07:56:19 pm Yeah they do look like fun, wonder if they'll be making their way across to the states soon.

Thats skinny'ism that is, just because some people have bigger bone structures.... ;) Bet id turn some heads commuting to work in the morning on a pair of those hehe. Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: BTs_MrBombastic on June 06, 2006, 03:08:34 pm Here in Switzerland, they sell those boots for USD 300 (EUR 235). It's probably a special offer, but it's a model that can hold from 70 - 80 KG:

They seem to have a good supply and more coming. They have them for $480 with free shipping.

Toys for Boys lists an M120 model that supports up to 300 pounds. They don't seem to sell it, though?
Title: Re: Jump Boots Post by: c| Lone-Wolf on June 06, 2006, 07:18:57 pm My only question is how good are they at 1) Running, and 2) Stopping suddenly. I have this vision in my head of running around, having somebody run infront of me and trying to stop and going over facefirst to pancake on the pavement.
Or I suppose I could just flip over them. If only I were that acrobatic.

Besides the fact that you'd be just shy of 7 feet in the air ;). |
