NOT ADVERTISEMENT!!!

with that outta the way, this thread is about gazelle pods. these "shoe" type things give you the capability to run at over twice your normal speed and jump quite easily over 6 feet into the air. i'm making some money to get a pair, the official site being - pattiwak.com -. i want to get a pair that are over 20 lbs over my weight, since the higher the weight rating, the stiffer the limbs. this gives a lot more power, but the learning curve will be BRUTAL. i am prepared for this, and have the proper location to train. i've always been a bit crazy with stunts so ill be good.

anyone out there heard/seen/want/have a pair of these amawesome transportation devices?

ps. i've pondered on the design and it think i could make a couple mods to it to make is safer. what im talking about is the "shoepads" - the thing that touches the ground. on the Pods, it minuscule. i think if i buy a cheap-o-matic-salvation-army pair of all terrain sneakers i can lash em on to increase surface area and traction by over 200%.

if this thread lives for a month or so, i will post pics. bwahahaha...

300 bucks O_O

I dont think the sneakers would improve traction, infact they'd be worse, notice that the pad is curved and small, strapping the sneakers on there will give you a flatter surface and will also create a "flimsy" side where the sneaker in no way holds the weight.

I think...

i think you misunderstood the "strapping"

this also makes a joint, creating a large contact space at all times. i will also enjoy the shoe's added grip threads in grass and all terrain.

the original tip is very smooth, making a bad choice for grass. its like running in grass with dress shoes. you can slide around, but thats very bad for GPs

I saw those on tv before. They're pretty awesome. I don't know where I'd use them though. ;__;
