There is a fair amount of bockers in Wales see www.welshbockers.co.uk

I'd say, when you're learning then its not a problem at all (better to fall flat on your face in solitude than in front of mates

), but when you get that bit of confidence then it definately makes it better to meet up with a few others

Hi Zazu no they are fun on your todd but yes even with just 2 it is much more fun.

For you in Flintshire I say look more to North England for fellow bockers at the moment. Cheshire Liverpool then Manc. There is a thriving community in Wales but its centred down around Cardiff

Id look up the vids posted by 'Athoul' gives an insite as to what can be done alone. It helps if like him you can regularly post vids. He then came into contact with others ( after close on 6 month solo) who were 25-40 miles away and now a m8 has gotr some and there is a guy 10-15 miles away too. So the chances are you would not be on your own for too long

I'm the only one within miles who have them and I may be on my own but walk round town and everyone wants of be your mate

there's a huge area of grass like a hundred acres near where i live so il have a bit of fun on my own

webmaster · « **Reply #18 on:** September 02, 2007, 05:23:19 PM »

Grass is quite slippy make sure you pop on some tyre socks first

Have fun

Bbmthbloke · « **Reply #19 on:** September 02, 2007, 05:26:59 PM »

yeah I just dont like grass, I know its nicer to fall on, But I like the 'positive' feel of concrete and tarmac. I had fun bouncing on the hoe ( titter not) in Plymouth last week on tarmac, on leaving , walked on some grass and just felt sooo slippy.

OOO troc youre a woolyback then

iv been browsing most of this forum so i think its best to 'pop' tyre socks on what ever type of ground your bocking on
