Vault Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Those Things?

Those raptor legs are a spring-loaded jumping stilt that allow you to jump up to six feet in the air and run at speeds in excess of 20 mph. Originally invented and patented by a German engineer, Alexander Boeck, they are now being marketed in the United States as Air Trekkers. Once on, you stand 18" taller, and have the power to rip some intense tricks. They act like a trampoline- the more force you throw down, the more maximum airtime you're going to get. If you want hangtime, these are for you.

How Easy Are They To Use?

When you first get on, they will feel a little bit heavy and unwieldy. However, you quickly gain your balance and within a half hour you can do basic walking, jumping and running. Later, as you gain skill and experience, the sky is the limit with what you can do: Backflips, aerials, gainers, splits, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Karate, you name it.

Are They Dangerous?

With any extreme sport, there is inherent risk. However, if you review the safety section on the website as well as the manual that comes with your Trekkers, you'll be fine. Don't attempt anything you don't already know how to do. For example, if you can't land a backflip on a trampoline, don't try them on your Trekkers. Review all safety materials as well as the online tutorials, and ALWAYS wear safety protection (helmet, wrist guards, elbow and knee pads). By purchasing or using Air-Trekkers, you accept full responsibility for any and all injury and will not hold Alpine Innovations, LLC responsible. You also agree to be 18 years of age or have consent of an adult to purchase or use Air-Trekkers.

Weight Category

Trekkers have soft springs which make it easier and more fun to get started and eliminates jarring on your body. We recommend you buy an Air-Trekker model with a weight category at least one category higher than your body weight. Why? The learning curve on Air-Trekkers is very short. In no time, you will be more aggressive with your Air-Trekkers as you try to achieve huge air. If you don't have aspirations of BIG AIR, you can buy the Air-Trekkers model within your weight category, but NEVER use a pair below your weight category.
