JUST GOT MY NEW MARSHEL TOWN 2.0 SKYWALKERS 2 DAY GR8..

UMMM IV NEVER USED THEM B4 AND HAVENT EVEN SEEN THEM USED..

ANY TIPS? I KEEP THINKING IM GOIN 2 FALL BADLY AND BRAKE MY NEE KAP¬!

HOW THE HELL CAN I SKIM A CELING IF I CAN LEG GO OF THE WALL!
 
try having a small hop-up next to you or a small pair of steps,put one stilt on while still have your leg on the steps,just get a feel for em. :o

Then try the other and lean against the wall till you ready to wal on them,wont take you long.I've had mine for 5 years would not be without em ;)
 
When i first got mine, i spent a morning walking up and down my hallway (wall each side!) till i felt confident, use em for every ceiling i do now, (and amusing my 3 yr old daughter) stick with it and it'll be second nature in no time.
 
also make sure you set em up properly, first time i got on mine i felt like i falling forward, then i read the instruction book! Doh! ;D
 
havnt fallen off mine yet touch wood, but if you do throw your trowel and hawk away from you, you never know how you gona land, also beaware of tarp and dont stand with your legs to close together better balance. and dont drink strongbow while on them
 
nice 1 will try..feel better on um allready..cant use um 2 day as the celing is a funny angle and i will need 2 go high and low and there is a low steel in the way!
 
u know what? its a shame you cant rent em cos id never use em, well maybe about the same amount of use as an ali tower and how often do you need one of those?? thing is i just copped a load of 3m cielings and theyd be bloody handy for them, 1st 3m ceilings ive had in over 2 years though...
 
im gettin some marshalltown stilts in the next fortnight .. my mates gettin them for me from the states , $189... thats £90 ... this is gonna sound really stupid but ive been thinkin , how do i get my stuff out of my bucket ? . will i need a spot and stand ? ..
 
depends on how long your arms are ;D or whether you got someone on 20 quid a day willing to load your hawk for you....
 
nice idea that...like that...yup..gold star.... 8-)
in fact...go stick it in tips and tricks minty cos if i move it no one will know what your on about...
or get dp to move it with a note or something...i cant really work anything except the delete button...
 
easy mate...there is a story about a 16 bag set..and i did wonder...but stayed wise monkey... ::)
 
well lets put it this way, those that know, do, or have done, or know someone that does/has/did...
those that dont would prolly be offended/upset/disgusted to be reading it where they least expect it...
those that wouldnt be offended/upset etc shouldnt really be takin it as a tip...
so ill just leave it to your imagination, im pretty sure its workin quite well at the mo ;)
 
mines an echo falls california red with coke...goes further...tastes nice...and 2 hours of wavin a trowel about cures the after effects :D
 
bought me own beer tonight stella :D are we all pissheads that are errrrr a bit bored whats youre story lads i get ribbed for going on forums at work ;D
