Jumping Stilts are also called as Powerbocking is the act of jumping and running, much like a recreational pursuit in which participants traverse urban structure by running, jumping, vaulting, rolling (parkour), with elastic-like spring-loaded stilts. Some individuals consider it an outrageous sport, many others it is a form of exercise or even a instrument of artistic gesture. The practice of the stilts to perform extreme jumping, running and acrobatics is known as 'Bocking' or 'PowerBocking' named after the creator .The jumping stilts were originally obtained the exclusive rights by Alexander B�ck, from Germany (European Patent EP 1 196 220 B1 on July 02, 2003, US Patent No. 6,719,671 B1 on April 13, 2004, both with a priority date of July 20, 1999), as Powerskips. The name of "PowerBocks" is originated from Mr. B�ck's name.The genuine Powerskips are considered to be a brand for professional and serious zealot use. The other professional brand is Velocity Stilts.
There are four primary companies producing a lower cost powerbocks for hobbyists. Fly Jumpers, PoweriZers (now also called PowerStriders) and Pro Jumps are some of the many different vendors of congruent models produced by one manufacturer in China called Flying Locust. Poweriser brand powerbocks are produced in Korea. 7 League Boots are produced by an Austrian company and have the highest cost of the non-pro brands. The fourth manufacturer is called Skyrunner, which does not compensate proceeds to Alexander B�ck and is illegal in copyright-protected countries.Each boot consists of a foot pad with snowboard type fastenings, foot-plate and a fibreglass leaf spring. Applying only their weight, and few movements, the user is usually able to jump 3�5 ft (1�1.5 meters) off the ground and run up to 20 mph (32 km/h). The jumping stilts also supply the capability to take up to 9 foot strides.[1]
