Hi all, I'm just getting into stilting and was curious if anyone had suggestions for my first pair of stilts. I was looking at the Voltige professional adjustable stilts (available via www.firetoys.co.uk) and I like that they are light and are adjustable to the two heights (1 foot and 3 feet high).

Now for my questions: I noticed that the site says the stilts are only for people up to 70g. I'm 72g, so I'm close, but a little over. Do you think these would still be ok? Are there any locations in the US where I could get them from?

Would any of you even recommend these stilts or do you think there are better ones I should get that are similarly adjustable and light (and have the post coming out of the middle of the foot plate, as I hear that's preferable design)?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. I've only ever walked on drywall stilts, and totally forgot about how I wanted to learn peg stilting until a recent parade I saw, and now I'm all excited to get into it. :)
