Not to bad at the time Sx but sore on the way home and stiff today (the wife said I always had a stiff neck  :biggrin:)

Much better this evening and looking forward to trying a few ground flips to get the rotation right (I made a few mats for home) hope I can land a ground one within the next 2 months  :thumbs: then try on the bocks again

thats the way jason, but fair play for trying man, and at least it was a softish landing, whats that move called then, a "bockers crown"?

I thought the waggling legs were a nice touch  :haha: (if you look carefully you can just see them)

But I would like to avoid doing it again if possible (maybe if I loose a couple of stone I might go round faster  :biggrin:)

Strangely today my neck is fine but all my rib and back muscles are complaining  :biggrin:

Worth every ounce of pain though what a Fab day I can't wait for the next meet (as long as its not this week  :haha:)

Bockers Crown sounds good but maybe we should add Aka Ostrich on the Dictionary as that describes it perfectly  :biggrin:
