Look after your nuts!

This is something I want everyone to get into the habbit of doing.

Every month, grab a spanner and make sure all the nuts and bolts on your stilts are tight. This doesnt mean spending 10 seconds looking to see if any are about to fly off. It means taking the spanner on each nut and making sure its tight.

They do work loose so its important to check.

Ones to watch (especially on projumps) is the nuts under the footplate that actually hold on the footstraps. The last thing you want is for your footstraps come flying off mid bounce. I have some pics somewhere showing these and a tutorial about changing them to locking nuts, like they have on 7's but even so, they can still work loose.

Remember, gaffer tape is your friend. Use him and abuse him

A little tip!
If you take the nut off and refit it using some super
glue it will stay there for ever!
