When getting into the new extreme sport of powerbocking the first choice you’re going to have to make is what brand of jumping stilts you want to strap on. You are greated with at least several options but in all actuality there aren’t an overwhelming number of choices in this sport as of yet.

First Consideration is what you’re looking to get out of your stilts. If you have intentions of mastering the craft of powerbocking and becoming a professional performer on your bocks then you better be willing to go out and get the best stilts on the market. A pair of bocks from either powerskips.de or stiltwerks.com are going to fit the bill for you in this department but you also need to be ready to part with well over $1500 to own a pair of these beauties.

If on the other hand you’re just looking to get a good set of jumping stilts that will last you years, hold up well over time, and provide you countless hours of fun check out Air-trekkers.com These have been around since jumping stilts came to the states and have been tested by some of the best in the industry!

Next consideration is price. As mentioned above you can go out and get the best if you’ve got a money tree in your back yard. However if you like me don’t have that kind of cash to invest then you will be looking in the range of $269-$379. The difference here is based on how many bells and whistles you want on your bocks. Things like upgraded bindings and calf cuffs add to your positive experience on jumping stilts but also add to the price. Personally for the difference of $100 I’d go with the upgraded model because of the added stability you have while on them.

Next thing to consider is customer service. As with any piece of equipment that has moving parts or any internet purchase for that matter you want to work with a company that is going to pick up the phone when you call with questions or concerns. I personally have experience with Air-trekkers.com and can say that Gary went over and above every time I had any questions or issues.

So if you’re looking for a good pair of stilts that will meet your needs and last a long time I suggest checking out the best jumping stilts on the market today at http://www.Air-trekkers.com
