Nick Poole@rolle @GustavinoBevilacqua @ndpi @neauoire I have a pair of those spring stilts! They're a lot of fun. I was never brave enough to do acrobatics on them but just sprinting on them feels wild.

This always makes me think of Springheeled Jack, a British folkcharacter (and later protagonist of penny dreadfuls) from the 19th century.
Paul McGuire@iju @rolle @neauoire @GustavinoBevilacqua If the roles are reversed, could be the illustration for Poe's "Never Bet the Devil Your Head" (though <SPOILER!> that was set in a covered bridge, with an unfortunately placed cross bar).
