Powerbocking: Jump like a Kangaroo, Run like an Antelope


Powerbocking is no different than the other sports. Here we will look at what powerbocking is, and how you can get started if it appeals.

What are powerbocks?
Powerbocks are large 'stilts' with a spring mechanism attached. The individual wearing the powerbocks will be taller as a result of the leg attachments, but will also have much more 'spring' in their step as a result. This then allows them to run at high speeds, to jump incredibly high and to perform tricks and stunts such as bounding down flights of stairs or flipping over stationary vehicles.

Powerbocking
Powerbocking will vary between individuals. It can be an extreme sport, exercise, transportation, and even an art form of expression.

Caution
Safety precautions are an absolute must when powerbocking which means wearing the full range of safety gear (knee pads, elbow pads, crash helmets) and starting slowly with someone around for help.
