"KEVIN BARRET: All right, if you're on a budget to buy stilts, you can usually get stilts between $20 and $500 or $600, okay? The ones I'm going to be showing you today, which is the jumping stilt, this one cost me about me about $400, okay? And I bought it from Poweriser.com. That's P-O-W-E-R-I-S-E-R-dot-com. Now, these ones, you can buy the kids one for a lot cheaper about 150 to 200 bucks or you can buy these ones which are about $400 and then you can go to the professional which are $500 or $600. If you want to make your own stilts at home, it's very easy to do. You can find a lot of online instructions. You can buy them up on eBay, go to Home Depot, buy a big long wooden dowel, put a peg on the bottom, strap it to your leg and have at it, okay? That can cost you about 20 bucks to $50, okay? Another good way is to go on eBay, as I said. EBay has a lot of great new and used all sort of clown equipment, all right? The next thing is drywall stilts, any of those. You can buy all these from actually construction websites or hobby shops. So, those are the different types of stilts and the price ranges on them."
