Weekend Project: DIY Stilts

[aa1000GM]

kipkay & tools are like chilldern and candy

[Johnnyate8]

Cool

[MrJayson1464]

Great video. And yes good idea not to try it. Best if you had someone else to help you out and like me I never have a helping hand around for my videos. Good call. Always good to be safe... Well done and informative.

[KingInternet10]

sissy

[henrykazuo]

is kipkay voice?!

[TimboJuice19]

Put a bunch of pillows down there

[12msbeautiful]

5:20 he says "ÿep thats a good hole right there, nice and tight" aha

[02watsot]

@12msbeautiful thats what she said

[grimsdagger]

Wear a Helmet if you do this

[BoredChick]

I decided on the rotozip because it make a lot of noise.

[uwantitbad2]

WASTED WEEKEND,  What a sissy la la

[RockBand2Freak78]

Hey KipKay, what you doing today?

Oh just building some stilts. I do this Make Magazine thing, weekend projects, stuff like that.

[SkylonRow]

6ft stilts is the highest I've ever walked on. I only walked about 200 metres but that was hard!

[ltkipras]

5:43 the freak out scene 

[grumman581]

I had some peg stilts that my father had built for me when I was a kid. No straps on the feet or legs, so they were fairly safe to learn with -- you just let go and dropped to the ground on your feet. I modified them by putting straps on the feet and then a large belt around the waist so that I didn't need to hold onto them. Falling was a bit more dangerous in that you fell like a tree that had been chopped down. I wish I had thought about just strapping them to my lower legs.

[MrXBOX52]

Pussy

[Littlebocco]

the reason they arent really good is because you placed the foot cutout too far back

[MrSeanw84]

at mattster7412 and hotpeppers111,

I'm guessing both of you don't go to school?

[Nigguh711]

Ahaa 5:09. Thatts Whaat She Said. lmfao

[Hotpeppers111]

i have a big brose on my side because thay broke and i landed onthe peach that broke but im ok and i made a stonger pear and thay work awesome

[xx0stephen0xx]

@Hotpeppers111 bruise* broke* pair* stronger* they* piece* on the*

[rubyfire317]

i made 1 1\2 stilts they were awsome

[Above9999]

They broke

[steakwolf9]

if your not so sure on the stilts alone, you could make hand stilts too!

[iGoRsGL1]

ooo a good hole xD

[mattster7412]

OK SO AT DA BATTOW PUT A LONG PEAICE OF BORED ON IT!!!

[mattster7412]

5:10 oh it feels good O.o LMFAO!!!!!!!!

[bpawskennels]

if you can't show the actual product in use or being tested, then its fairly pointless to show us anything else. The proportions are off, the taller you stand the more you have to balance and lean on support.

[AdamWho]

Why not some steel?

[WolfmanNougat]

Not sure about a whole five foot stilt, but this method would come in handy for a costume I'm planning for. :)

[Noah12353]

I broke my leg doing this but it's ok my dr

Sed it was all redy snapped

[exploshonz]

wimp



[TheMegalucian]

75 people tried these things and fell

[djlavaboy1]

is so gay

[johnnyluong26]

Please don't kill me with your Ak-47 with grip!

[johnnyluong26]

"They could let you reach places you never could before!" Thats what she said

[dread3381]

mine snaped on me im fat :(

[360lolz]

1 and a half inch angle?? what did you learn in school?

[360lolz]

Does any one else hate thew make magazine music

[jmjpowerjoule]

I once saw a construction worker wearing stilts about that length and asked him how he learned to use them. He told me that he was able to learn to keep his balance in about 10-15 minutes time; by starting off in a narrow hallway. After that, he could put them on and use them anywhere, anytime.

[rico9618]

I made some it is easy to walk on them inside, but add rubber to the bottom

[cheeroandtaco5]

I had a easier thought when I herd you say stilt

[random2612]

kip kay do u live in florida



[1998flash]

@random2612 he does I think near West Palm Beach

[KimChoJapFan]

I would leave out the shoe so I would have a quick way to escape falling... and I get to save a pair of shoes...

[MrRambotheLamb]

omg you have a gun that shoots heat :o

[TheSoonerfan444]

How come on these videos they can have almost 150,000 views but on a few hundred likes?

[POOKACE5CO]

so if he wont stand on them... why would I ?!

[minex7xgod]

@cll034 I want to see u walk around in those in a vid response! And if u don't u r da chicken!

[darkeyce02]

i like my 24inch stilts, just make sure your arch of your foot is in the middle of the 2x2, its the center of balance, his is back to far so the end of his foot hangs of to much, i got a vid of mine with my costume on

[cll034]

chicken!



[chappygopappy]

should have used a Velcro pair of shoes.

[randomdude3485]

nice vid im gonna make some

[iPODtouchUSER1995]

Seriously what the fuck must his neighbors think when hes doing all his weekend projects and sruff^^

[techdecknerdglx]

I added some foam to the calf support

[sicknesstaliban]

oh my god you talk so much -.-" stop talk man

[ActionHobo2]

@sicknesstaliban you came to a how-to video and expected silence? lmao

[xxXUberTuberXxx]

@sicknesstaliban Your retarded... the main reason he is famous for his DIY's and tut's are because he takes his time to explain things and help the watcher understand the important of every tool and creation... I myself and very glad he talks and if he didn't i wouldn't watch his videos. In fact i hate the very few video he has done that he doesn't say anything in. Even though I know what is going on it is still nice to have it explained in detail.

[JonaVicis]

You can also make those with quick release bindings to allow you to land on your feet, should you tip or fall.

[mtdoonut]

@JonaVicis impossible. simply impossible.

[JonaVicis]

@mtdoonut, For you maybe, but smart people can. You can go to a construction store and buy some. They are used for drywall and plastering work.

[mtdoonut]

@JonaVicis no, uh, its simply impossible for the mere fact that by the time you think to use those quick release bindings, your face is on the concrete.

[JonaVicis]

@mtdoonut, A quick release is automatic. you don't have to "Think to use those". When you fall, pressure releases them. As I said, you can buy them. Do you think places like Disney would have stilt walkers who would not beable to protect themselves AND the people near them, should they fall or get tripped up? Google it, there are a lot of them.

[NXTneocube]

im suprised nobody said this but... "you can use a jigsaw but i used the rotozip because its really loud"...what the hell?!?!?!

[Ivan2522000]

I wanna that!!!!...:P

[MichaelMacTV]

There awesome not I fell of and broke my leg naa I'm jokeaviging

[pldreys]

May be you should use a fatter end at the bottom

[arickosmo]

great instructional..."I don't think I wanna try this, good luck with your stilts."

[TheAppleXbox]

lol what do your neighbors think?

[circusguy13]

also use a 3 x 3 piece of wood

[circusguy13]

use a cross shape of bike tire tread for the bottom. It will make it less slippery and more durable on the bottom of the stilts. cut a cross shape of tire tread and use heavy duty staples to hold it in place

[TwistrTot33]

@kipkay Maybe you should've made them a bit smaller duh

[warmaster5128]

i tryed my friends pair and i fell and got hurt

[423Mark]

Fail! You should have built the stilts to a more reasonable (safe) length/height, for demonstration and learning purposes, say 12" instead of 36". Then we could have seen a working end result. What is the point of doing a how to video when your project can't be demonstrated to actually work at the end. Fail!

[phillip25ish]

@423Mark i agree this sucks i wanted to see this work do another one so we can see

[TheSeriesable]

use 2x4 for the stilts, its a lot better for strength

[neen14renz]

hooo p u what's one stinky shoos men!

[sidezzuan1]

fuck you man his not racist you idiot his smarter then you :P

[odarkest1]

@sidezzuan1 It was a joke. You need to breathe.

[odarkest1]

4:57 Kip is racist!!!

[boris81731]

i made 1 that was 5 ft high



[boris81731]

i made 1 that was 5 ft high

[mitch9877]

if all of our technology failed i think kip kay would be the only one to bring it back

[crazylemon101]

Use the Gutters as a rail!! :D

[username2011ish]

lol his neighbors must be like "what is he doing now"

[TheDarkAlfany]

@username2011ish they will run to the police every time because they think he want to build a dangerous thing like a bomb xD sry for my bad english xDD

[bobalong131]

Hey Kip, Back when we were kids we always made stilts and instead of lashing ourselves to them (DANGER) we would just extend the main peg up so we could hold them under our arms and above. Kinda like walking on those weird stair climber things. That way if you need to fall you just catch yourself with your feet witch wasn't a problem at all.

[crfptb0808]

do not talk to kipkay like that.



[next342]

I hate this vid I trried it and my leg broke and the fucking bone almost stuck out .fuck u all

[Scorpiawhore66]

@next342 XD LOL XD

[ilovemygirlslots]

@next342 sucks to be you lmao

[jiveturkeynjunk]

I can't believe I wasted 6+ minutes watching this thinking I'm gonna get to see him break his legs and he didn't even use them! Come on!!

[UzumakiRevan]

[JuStInCrOsS1000]

@wankashanka Inefam :D

[Oricevreitu]

thumbs up if you wanted to see kipkay with the stilts on

[jdincc1]

and a taller ladder...... or u could get two taller ladders nd put some wood across them nd use em as scafolding

[jdincc1]

hey u should get lik a tree stand harness nd make a flat zip line nd .......... eh u probly see where im goin

[hobowalker1]

I build these all the time. Some pointers I can give if you are going to try this. Instead of 36in stilts try 24in stilts to start off, believe me a foot makes a huge difference in balance and the "intimidating" factor. Also instead of the PVC pipe and belt you can just use the belt, it allows greater comfort and more controlled longer strides, just make sure to screw the belt to the inside of your stilt. Also strap on sandals are easier to put on your feet when you're mounting your stilts.

[TheHeroesLocker]

This was helpful in the design phase, but why not get a friend to help you so that we can see the pay off? As it stands, we have no video of you walking to see what adjustments or modifications might need to be made based on your design.

[nitromehane189]

now do some stilt boxing

[23JAGgy]

oh so you want us non expirienced to try them on lol

[mepwnyou012]

[MegaSkaterdude11]

[AndrewMarshall90]

WTF? He made a pair of stilts and then didn't use them 'because he was scared' and started making up a load of bullshit excuses.

[Tharosa1942]

Kipkay IRON MAN!

[podunkzeko]

I smushed my hand and lost a lot of blood and broke 50% of my bones.

[imaredneckforever]

[BboyV123]

you sould just cut off 1 ft. from the stilts and it wount be so scared

[breetanner113]

I say use shorter stilts for the first time

[bleachmaster1011]

you im not gonna make this i like my legs

[ponday16]

thnx a lot assole i broke both my legs your poaying my medical bill.............lol jk cool vid

[C0LT0NTV]

How do you get off?

[xSMiNTx]

now it's time to say bye bye to your legs?!

[FutureLper]

You don't HAVE to use the shoes, you can skip that step if you want to. This is because if you lose your balance, you can then just jump off the stilts! Saves time, and maybe your legs!

i wanna bring more w
