My son is learning to do running aerial somersaults, in his gym class. He's doing okay but there's a certain ZING! missing in the equation.
What he needs is a pair of SomerSocks. With springs in the heels and reusable airbags on the soles, these little beauties will allow you to leap higher, spin
faster and land softer than ever you have before.
RFID technology allows you to stamp both heels together on the floor and be propelled vigorously into the air, rotating forwards. As you come down the retrobags fire, using a proximity sensor to get the distance from the floor correct, so you land on cushions of air.
NB SomerSocks have already been outlawed by the IOC, Jacques Rogge and Dick Pound.

<aside> Dick Pound always makes me think of the place the Dick Warden puts his charges </aside>. Bun for over-engineering and complete impracticality. |

That's why I posted them. Overengineering just seems so... halfbaked. |

For the purpose of cool jumping, I think you've made them a little complicated. Forget the proximity sensor, just give the socks springs and airbags. I'll buy a pair 8) |

"Dorothy, take these supercharged Somersocks, click your heels three times and say 'there's no place like home'." |
