What is it?
Power stilts are hard to describe and as a result people use many terms to refer to the same thing: Jumping stilts, spring stilts, 7 league boots, powerbocks, SkyRunner, Velocity Stilts, Pro-Jumps velocity stilts, kangaroo shoes. Available brands include: PoweriSers, PoweriZers, Flyjumpers, Powerskips.

bocking
The act of using your power stilts is generally called power bocking, or bocking for short. (named after German inventor Alexander Böck.)

To cut through the confusion, we have chosen to represent the Poweriser brand of products as they offer a complete line of quality products at affordable prices.

What’s possible?
Stand 18 inches higher, jump 6 feet high, and run 30mph. Have Fun, Get exercise.

Many professional performers have used power stilts to perform amazing acrobatic routines. Most users are happy to just have fun with them and maybe learn a few tricks so they can show off when needed.

Can I try it, Free?
Free 10-min tryout lesson available. Tryouts are currently available in uptown and downtown locations, Suburban locations are currently being established in Washington, DC. Please email to suggest a location or request the schedule.

How hard is it?
Many people can balance & walk by the end of their 10 min tryout. Lessons are available for those that prefer structured learning and interactive feedback. Lesson includes stilt rental, protective gear, and drinks.

By the end of a one-hour lesson, you will be as balanced and confident as when you are walking normally.

Is it a good workout?
Yes! Powerbocking is aerobic exercise that strengthens your muscles while developing perfect balance, grace & style. Burn calories, enjoy the outdoors, develop your balance, and enjoy a higher perspective all at once.

Are they for kids?
Yes, the Poweriser Youth model is specially designed for children from 66lbs (about 8yo). Children love "being taller", and learn to balance much more intuitively. A clean safety record has been established for this product when used as directed.

Will it hurt if I fall?
Possibly…operators should always wear protective gear. As with most active sports, most injuries are minor, however all risks are assumed by the user. Nothing can be ruled out so you should have medical insurance. Just in case.

How much?
Starting around $299. Visit the products page to learn more.

Where can I get them?
There's only one authorized dealer in the Washignton DC area! Please support DC Power Stilts, small, local business, community activist, and expert instruction.

Do I have to pay for Shipping?
Free Shipping if merchandise is picked up locally. Depending on the order, items may need to be obtained from our warehouse which takes about a week.

Shipping is available to any address in the continental USA, and can be calculated using the shopping cart. If orders need to be shipped elsewhere, please inquire about shipping charges.

What if I still have a question?
Email to ask a question. (If someone else asks the same question, I'll add it to this list.)
