ive ordered the t-shirt, but not had a phone call yet about payement, how long does it normally take?

Locky · « **Reply #226 on:** July 27, 2007, 10:34:49 AM »

Yep I've got 20 orders for shirts out of around 70 people coming so I guess it wont be quite the mass sea of red people we hoped for.

Just to clarify the shirts are just for this event and have no commercial sponsorship at all. You can have your name or nick name printed on the back. Watch the latest radiobock video (see my sig) for a quick show of the shirts.

The printers actually dont really pay much attention since printing shirts is what they do all day every day for the weird and the wonderful (bocking is both lol). When we got the welsh bockers shirts made they were a little interested in the stilts but only asked a few questions.

Hybrid_hex, I've just been on to paypal and I'm unable to take credit card numbers over the phone directly. This sucks but its what I have to deal with. But so far you, one other and ET are the only ones who have not paid with paypal.

what are the other ways to pay??

Locky · « **Reply #228 on:** July 27, 2007, 10:47:57 AM »

You have a choice of paypal, bank transfer or cheque in the post (even cash if its sent safely)

I just got mine today, they were really heavy and walking in them was weird. I can walk on my own mostly now (fell over within 5 minutes though, good thing I got those pads too). Still need a friend by my side in case. Normally when I walk (without projumps) my legs are quite close to each other and my knees sometimes rub. Had to learn to walk with my legs apart otherwise the knee bars catch each other and I tend to fall. Also catching the pad on the floor cos you didn't lift it high enough when stepping. Anyways, they're great. I love them so much! Already had people going 'aren't you meant to run in those' and I has to confess it was my first day.

I tried running/jogging, well going faster but it didn't work, keeping nearly falling forwards. Only my first day though. I can't jump at all in them though, but managed it holding onto the door frame with both hands and jumping on the step for a bit (you need to put a lot of force into them to jump!)

Anyways, so going to be there on the 19th!! This is going to be great!

Just keep practising, believe me it gets soo much easier. It's like riding a bike once you "get it" you never forget.

make sure you order your Tshirt before the 9th of aug and you confirm you are coming in the other thread about capital bocking

DePaw · « **Reply #235 on:** July 27, 2007, 11:27:50 PM »

Already ordered it. It should be sent out this weekend with all the other orders stacked up. So I'll hopefully get it soon.

But yeah. You almost have to step into the bounce when your weight starts to bend the string, rather than trying to walk normally. It's hard to explain, you have to sort of walk 'with' the projumps. I had loads of fun though, my friends ended up being more hurt than me cos I tended to grab them when I was falling. Glad I have such good friends, they were really nice and once I was getting confident we started chatting about everything while walking up and down the street holding hands (for support), then later just them next to me in case I slipped. I actually crossed the road in them too with my friend. I can walk ok but not confident yet if there isn't anything the grab nearby. But it's fun sitting on wheelie bins and having cars much shorter than you. You can also call EVERYBODY short, or a midget. lol, I'm cruel.

Like Q said there are people coming from all over the place, I think the people actually from London will be a minority. There are several parents and people over 30 coming along so she wont feel left out. Janelle's (girl on the other forum) mum always comes along and Janelle is an adult! her mum enjoys being a part of it even though she doesn't bock herself. If you want me to speak to your mum PM me and I will explain anything she wants to know. PM Uncle Matt/Locky about the Tshirts as he is sorting those out.

Locky · « **Reply #240 on:** August 02, 2007, 08:47:43 AM »

Just one week left to get your order in!

I have exactly 20 people who have ordered and thats it.

If you are paying by cheque then it needs to be here tomorrow as I'm not sending anything to the printers until its paid for. PM me for details.

chocl8 · « **Reply #241 on:** August 02, 2007, 03:47:07 PM »

Hey guys, would anyone have any spare bocks in the 80/90kg range spare for capital bocking, cos my cousin would love to come, hes been on mine and hes a natural! (its bloody annoying how soon he mastered them). Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Chocl8

Ive just got my railway ticket for london ( ordered Tee as well). This causes me to mention 2 things.

A/ if you buy a rail ticket 2 weeks in advance it is alot cheaper ( in my case £18 rather than £34 if got on the day). So if you are going by train do do do get a ticket by this Sunday ( 5th)

B/ Im travelling up from the south. There will be a few of us on the train, Sprog, TundraH, Zebadee and myself. We plan to meet jumping jack and his nameless freak friend at Waterloo. Our train gets into London at 0939. If any1 wants to meet up there for a bock over to hyde park please pvt me
