video – spring-loaded stilts

Pro-jump (UK) and Poweriser (USA) are two brands of spring-loaded stilts used for the extreme sport of Powerbocking. (Alexander Böck from Germany first patented the idea in 1999.)

You might also see them called Kangaroo Boots.

There are a number of other brands, of course.

They’ve been used in circus performances. Yet I feel there’s much potential left in this invention.

Perhaps Poweriser basketball.
