You probably saw them on "Junkyard Wars." Here they are on me!
PowerSkips are incredibly fun, bouncy "stilt" legs. In them, one can run with an incredibly long stride and jump very high (I'm still learning, so I don't go as far yet). Here's some pics of them in action:
- Standing in place
(you can't actually stay still, you have to keep moving)
- Jumping in place, both legs
- Jogging
And here's an mpeg of me gently loping along in them (sorry the file is so large!)
NOTE: These things can be very dangerous if you screw up. Imagine twisting a knee or breaking a wrist or worse. Don't do it unless you wear protective gear, and even then, don't think it's safe.
Case in point:
