Before you begin using your
PoweriSer:
It
is recommended that you kit yourself out with a helmet, wrist, elbow
and
knee pads.
Never use PoweriSers power stilts without
this safety gear.
Don't use poweriSers on wet grass or slipper surfaces.
Try not
to step on leaves or
pieces of paper as you don't know whats under
them. Watch out for puddles. |
Lesson 4 :
Jumping
Soon
you
will be racing along, overtaking pogo stick riders, bikers,
skateboarders, and more. Jump
training is the next challenge to overcome. There are two
styles of jumps.
Jumping with one foot is just glorified running.
The main
difference is in aiming your power upwards instead of
forwards.
Try to stand in one place on the bouncing stilts
and alternate jumping
with your
right
and left leg. The trick is to step off as hard as
you can
when
you are at the lowest point in the momentum, bounce back, and
then
change legs so you are touching the ground with the
next one.
Balancing yourself is more difficult with two footed jumps
due to
the increased spring resistance of the jump stilts.
This is the
strongest of all
jumps and is the one which can shoot you 6
feet in the air.
Start
by standing still for a second and then press
downward
as you
bend your
legs slightly. Do this once and stop to regain your
balance.
When you feel you can do it without losing balance,
do it
several times in a row. Try to press
harder on the jumping stilts for
more altitude.

Lesson
5: Rising after a fall.
Learning
how to get up
after falling will hopefully never be necessary but the easiest
way to
rise is to obviously grab hold of some type of support to pull yourself
up. When starting out it is best to have a friend near you at
all
times.
To stand without support, spread your legs so that you have
one in
front of you and one behind you, pretty much like when you do
a split.
Bend your front leg as much as you can and stand up on
it while
still kneeling one your back leg. When you fell
that you cant
bend your front leg more, then make a small jump and stand up
on your
back leg. This is the really tricky part as you can
easily
lose
your balance and fall back. Try to gain as much balance in
the
"semi split" position so that you can make a second
pull/jump
and stand
up completely.

Cool
tricks for the experts!
Giant Leaps
Giant
leaps
is the
natural graduation to being a quality jumper. To begin with,
make
a few small jumps with both legs and every time you jump kick
your legs
out straight and press more power downwards for higher and
higher
bouncing. As usual, make sure to do all the
warm-ups and
stretches beforehand to avoid straining.
Back
Grab
This
is a
cool trick if
you manage to maintain good balance. Jump up and down with
both
legs at the same time and try to bend both of them together.
It
looks better if your legs don't lose contact with each other.
As
you get better at it, try to make the bend deeper and deeper.
When you can do this without falling, rotate your upper
body
to
either right or left and grab your heels with on hand.
Back
Flips
If
you think
you can pull
off a back flip then you are already very confident and we
cant give
you much advice. If you fail a back flip with PoweriZers then
you
have another half meter to fall! The only
difference to a
regular
back flip is the unsteady landing and your timing will have
to be
perfect. This is not a trick we recommend since its
so
dangerous
and the risk of injuries is high. But if you are a real
PoweriZer
expert, this is the ultimate trick! |
