How to Finish Building Your Stilts

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I'd like to talk about stilt walking. My name is Paul Anderson from the ABC circus and here we are. I predrilled these, it's easy to attach. There you have a stilt with the straps to attach it. I also like to put 2 more stilts or 2 more screws on the back of the stilt so that the strap doesn't slide up and down the stilt. Leave them extended just a little bit so that it catches the strap if it were to slide over the top or slide down your leg. That makes it so the strap can't slide up or down on your stilt. There you have a pair of assembled stilts that you saw me build right here. The last thing I need to do is add rubber on the bottom so you don't slip. If you were only going to walk in the grass, you wouldn't need to add the rubber. Of course, your shoe right here. Then you would have your very own set of stilts. I like to put the tip of the shoe right there, and there you have your own circus stilts."
