Digitigrade stilts

This me testing out a prototype of digitigrade stilts my friend and I made for an upcoming werewolf costume of mine. Based on the common Grypherm design, but we welded aircraft grade square aluminum tubing for most of it and round aluminum tubing for the "feet" with off-road bicycle tire tread glued to them, some velcro strapping instead of screws securing the shoe to the stilts(so you can take em off and still have a shoe on), and the basic 4-mini bungees per leg suspension. This just shows me going across a flat street and down a moderate incline. Got another one of me going across some uneven terrain to post soon. Enjoy!
