Powerbocking or bocking, so named after the inventor Alexander Boeck of Germany, is the use of flexible jumping stilts to perform extreme jumping, running and acrobatics.
Born to Ride Bicycle offers "Power Jyms" and "Tigger Jyms"(our name for this equipment) for rent or purchase!
Each adjustable Power Jym consists of a foot-plate with snowboard type bindings, rubber foot pad commonly called a hoof, and a carbon fibre leaf spring.
Here's your change to feel like a Super Hero
Power Jyms will empower you to execute an extraordinary athletic act of strength: running at the speed of light, jumping and hopping higher than humanely possible (at least for most of us).
Using only your weight and a few downward forced moves, you are generally able to take up to 9-foot (2.7 metres) strides, jump 3–5 ft (1–1.5 metres) off the ground and run up to 20 mph (32 km/h)!
You are the power source. No batteries needed!
For some of us, Powerbocking, is a great excerise and fitness activity. For others, it can become an extreme sport, taking this equipment to its max with moves and artistic flair.
I'm finding just walking on my Power Jyms gives me a great cardio workout and the weight of them is helping strengthen my leg muscles.
I'm not a jogger, but I can see these flexible Power Jyms really enhance that activity, too. You sure would get to where you're going a lot faster!
This is an extremely effective, yet low impact workout for kids and adults alike. And because it's so much darn fun, your Power Jyms will not be left in the closet to collect dust (like other exercise equipment).
