Video Transcript

"KEVIN BARRET: Oh, yeah! We're walking! Look at me, I'm walking! Oh, my gosh! Congratulations! You now know how to stand up on your stilt and you know how to walk, okay? That's just the basics on actually learning how to start stilt jumping, okay? These are made specifically to be jumping and running. If you just want to do walking, get yourself some peg stilt to dry wall stilts but since we have these jumping stilts, we're going to go a little bit more in depth and you show what the features are and what you can do, okay? So, now that you're walking back and forth, make sure you have your wall right here, okay? We're going to move on to bouncing. Bouncing is where you're going to be putting a little bit more weight into each step, okay? So, my right foot here, I want to make sure that this fiber glass spring is actually going to be bowing every time that I step, alright? You see how that's getting a little bit of flex? Alright, each time I step, I'm going to be putting a little bit more weight in, okay? Each step, I'm going to be putting a little bit more weight just like that, okay? Make sure you got a wall here because you're probably going to fall down in this step, alright? Now, when you want to start running, this is how you're going to start, it's by bouncing. Each time you take a step, extend your legs a little bit further, okay? That's going to get you a good ahead-of-the-game step to running, okay? Okay. Now, you're walking, once you start walking a little bit faster, we've learned how to bounce, okay? This is going to bring us into running but remember for each step, not to over do yourself, okay? This is very exhausting. It didn't take me one day to learn, okay? You have to draw it out. Alright, let's move on to the next step now."
