I'm afraid I'm gonna take on the role of bad guy here. While the video is well made and a really great inspiration to all I cant help feel that it's quite obvious these people are what I would call acrobats or skilled gymnasts before they ever put a pair of stilts on.
There is nothing wrong with that, but it takes away the main reason that people get drawn into bocking in the first place - that these stilts allow you to do super-human tricks.
I just feel if you can already do the tricks on a trampoline or gym floor then it takes away the sense of achievement that so many of us have felt when learning new tricks.

Perhaps I'm not being fair but thats my opinion.

you cant take that away from him.
he still had to learn it to start off with. People from different areas try different sports all the time, that's what gives variation in the sport.

if you notice his techniques very good from a gymnastics point of view ie flips and straddles. But hes missing things you only get from years of practice that like precision jumping or vaulting.

While I can see your point Locky bocks are for everyone and this sort of vid can only help

The vid is awesome and think of the years of practice that went into the gymnastics before they even got on bocks

I think it will inspire people to have a go I know it does me and all publicity is good

Anyway Awesome Vid  :Cbiggrin:
