Sneaky way would be get someone in the UK to buy them and send them to you has a gift and just pay postage !? Don't know if you'd have to pay any tax ?

I''ll ask my dad if he knows someone from work living in the UK. maybe they can send it to the Netherlands.
If not I will try if someone here can help (Spud said he might).
What are the weight of pro-jumps? this might help to calculate the shipping costs.

 >:( >:( :banghead: I am so angry!!! Yesterday I called my dad if he knew someone from buissenis in England for the pro-jumps. Then he said that he was disappointed that I wanted to buy everything I liked ( :censored:) and told me I couldn't buy it. He also kept on saying it was a TOY, while this really is a sport. until I told him that most people are at least above 15 and he said that it showed children shouldn't buy them.

I know someone with a nephew with flyjumpers, so I asked if I look and test them there if I could then buy it. He said that was oke but I still couldn't buy it myself, my parents would pay a part for my birthday. So now my hope of getting pro-jumps is almost gone, unless I might get them for my birthday after 9 months. Well i'll keep on trying :-\ :-\ :-\

Lol ;D, but I don't think begging will help. he will just get annoyed so I will never buy them. The only thing I can do is try them out at my friend's nephew and wait till my birthday :-\

I don't really think bocking could be classed as a sport. Certainly it's sporty, sporting, sport-like. But the definition of sport encompasses rules & regulations, boundaries, officials and some sort of scoring system. And it's usually competetive. ...The term "lifestyle sport" may apply. A large part of my dissertation was on lifestyle sports.


AAAAaaaaanyway... Have you considered purchasing the bocks and keeping them at a friend's house? Especially if you have a friend who is also interested in Bocking, as you could let him/her use them in return for holding them for you. :) You could even split the cost of buying them. :)

Make sure it's a close, trust-worthy friend though! You don't want to lose them. :P

Actually how old are you? I don't want to be corrupting youthful minds by telling them to disobey their parents! lol. :D Respect your parents kids! ;)

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

Lol i'm thirteen (Castlevania1995)
I respect my parents really much so I don't think it will be good to buy them without them knowing, and they will probably figure out anyway.

The friend with a bocking nephew told me I could come with him to try the bocks, so i'll just do that.
Maybe I will pay 150 Euros and get them for "Sinterklaas" (I don't know if it has an English name, i don't even know if he exists outside the Netherlands) Sinterklaas is on the fifth of december, so with the bad weather I won't be able to test my bocks.

So you're looking at poweriSer PR90120s? You should be fine on those at almost 80kg.

Higher weight springs mean you bottom out less which means you do get a little extra height, but it doesn't mean they're less likely to break or become damaged.
PoweriZer Pro are different to the poweriSer Advanced/2007/2008, they are completely different brands. I can only assume you mean poweriSers as poweriZer have no 90-120kg range springs.

dealers in the US are
xphub.com and getjumpingstilts.com

I would recommend xphub as they are the main importers, GJS simply buy their bocks from xphub then sell them on for slightly more.
