Do you know where i can buy hands free stilts? The ones that strap right to your calf. I want peg-footed stilts (rather then flat foot stilts that alow you to stand still).

Also called Power Stilts, they are popular in costumes by professional acrobats and entertainers. Believe it or not stilts are pretty easy to learn, but definitely get some practice or take a class before you plan to wear them in costume. Awesome predator costume… check it out!

Yeah – I don’t think these are made for short fat outa shape guys like me. I’m sure I’d end up in traction if I tried running in those. Sounds cool though, and I’d love to see them in action.
