Digitigrade stilts

Post by  ҉  » Sun Jan 12, 2014 9:14 pm

I built a pair today as the first step of a kzin costume. Anyone here used these before? I can walk OK in them given that I built them in a couple of hours out of stuff that was already in my garage, but advice from someone with experience with them would be useful. I've only fallen once so far, but in doing so I hit both my knees pretty hard.

Be careful, we don't want to lose our Jedi in an... unfortunate accident.

I've got kneepads now. It'll be fine.
