Staff'n'Toller Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Anyone managed to make these in Oz and sourced the side hinges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J... Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Murray had a look at mine a while ago and was going to have a think about, don't know if anything had come out of it. There was someone in Sydney bringing them over in bulk but they were still pricey, even with the high dollar. They are handy though, but I'm sure there is other ways of making slightly less portable jumps for far cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Aaah ok thanks, I haven't ventured down to Altona since the M1 upgrade was giving me lots of grief. :rolleyes: I wonder if he's come up with something....if you're in Melbourne trialling later in the year Jess, do you mind letting me know? Would love to come and have a look at one of yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 A guy at Croydon makes a portable/easy to carry metal jump. Does it have to be a poly jump? The last one I got from him was $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to come and have a look at one of yours. No worries, doing Berwick on the 25/7, State Trial on the 4/8 or Croydon 11/8. Let me know beforehand and I'll throw one in. Otherwise if you decide to brave Altona at some stage, I can meet you down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, it's just the fact that they fold instead of me having to take them apart that is appealing. Croydon sounds good at this stage...I'll PM you before then Jess, cheers! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray was looking at doing the hinge bit with metal rather than plastic, but thought that it would almost be more trouble than it's worth. Plus he has a huge backlog of orders atm, so don't think he will be doing anything with it in the near future unfortunately. (Have been asking him for some winged jumps at club for the last 2 years, LOL) Adrian makes a fairly portable poly jump too, only thing that comes off are the two small supports at the end and the crossbar, the rest all stays together . Not sure how much he charges though. I was lucky enough to win one in a raffle at a trial so happy to bring it along to a trial somewhere if anyone wants to see it. We use them for training classes at Bulla and they are fine, just not trialling standard. I have a couple of them now in a bag that 'live' in my car permanently and don't take up too much space. Alternately Murray makes good metal 'feet - cross with some spikes sticking up that the poly pipe fits on tightly, therefore free standing - these are pretty cost effective and also don't take up too much space.

If that's the one I'm thinking of (there was one up for grabs at the trial?) they would be pretty good for a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
