Right in the summer 2009
im wondering if i cna have a word wif the council we can maybe arrange a bocking show for warrignton for a few of the pro's of bocking because tbh Warrignton is a dead spot and id love some more bockers for warrington i hate being such a loner
so if it is possible then give us a shout if ur intrested then i can talk to our warrington council
-
sorry for double posting but i have requested a spot in warrington town centre for some pros to show off there skills
im am still waiting for a reply but will keep posted :Cnotworthy:
-
Why don't you take some pics of these awesome places so people can see how good it is? at the mo it's a long way to go for somewhere that might not be that good lol :Cwink:
-
ahh u see spud our council if they accept will put up some wooden blocks they did it for a parkour team once
but still as u say pics i shall get some on thursday or tomoz wen ever im next in town for u and post them in this chat so u bockers cna decide
but if i can get a designated spot for u bockers from the council then all should be good also i wanna make it a fund rasing event for maybe a selected charity so itll be for a good cause :Cbiggrin: :Csmile:
-
include covering of travel costs, or just show me how awesome it is and i'll come along...not that i'm pro or anything
-
thats an idea all money made will go to ur petrol costs
the rest will go to a cancer research charity
-
Try and get people from close by then. You don't want to have a fund raiser at which the charity receives hardly any money due to travel costs.
-
how do i get people close by that are experts when the place is dead :P
its 1 day were we can show off bocking and advertise projump website and get my town to bock
i dnt need like a million bockers like 3-4 experts in 1 car will do me for 1 day to do some flips and tricks and show ppl what bocks are
if there were some pros around warrington i wudnt of posted this up coz i know all the bockers in and around warrington and shore some of them are good but need pro experts flipps kicks tricks the hole shabang :P :Ctwitcy:
-
Projump 101?
-
well there renown for being awsome so having them wud be off the wall amaxingly brilliantly FAB
but like if we had any other teams tht can flip and do all the tricks id happily accept them too i just need a group that can come to show off basicly
-
Good luck Aidan. You just made all the other teams seem second class!

We Have been to Warrington Quite a few times over the past two years, Performing for clubs including, Mr Smiths/Synregy,Chicago's and a few others, i was last there in oct, the Bockers include, myself, Pete, Dave, Claire, Brucie, Zeb,kiola, Danny, and more, the reception we recieved from the people of Warrington was fantastic, and the town centre is great for bocking,
there are some girls i know who live in Warrington who are Quite good on bocks,they train at a sports centre near the car showrooms i thinks its close to Mcdonalds on the way out to the M62, and there is a small group in Widnes, which is right next to you, i will try and get them intouch with you,although they are mainly performers,i'm sure they'd come to your meet.
if i am near your area soon i will let you know.
-
cool wow theres bockers in warrignton :o
please if u can contact them please do i have a march meet in warrington which would be a good time to meet up fort he first time
and spud i no how bad i myt of made it but i dont mean it in that sense its just projump are the only team ive seen perform such amazing tricks but i dnt 2nd best any groups everyone nearli on this forum are a million times better than me and id be happy if a noob came to meet up in warrington i just wanna meet up with some other bockers i havent ever seen any bockers so if any groups can make the march meet or can do this event in the summer then please do tell me any groups at all considering they can do a few tricks and make the crowd go oo ee aah XD

OWNED! :D

I think its safe to say now there are bockers in almost every medium sized town and city in the country.
Problem is finding them and getting them together.
-
I will get the contact to you for the sports centre, and i will try to make the 7th,
Just remembered, Locky you drove a mini bus to Warrington ages ago, a bus full of bockers, then came to the club i was working at.
-
In support for you talking to the Council
Bocking is part of the extreme sports program at North Kesteven District Council. It is part of an outreach program that includes skateboarding and Parcour. The main objective is to engage those young people who do not do traditional sports.
It would be a great way to establish a club in the same way we have done so at Lincoln.
If you want any further support please feel free to pm me or call me, my office number is here www.lincolnshiresports.co.uk

Sorry for hi-jacking the thread for a moment.
Charlie B - Do you mean Parkour? Or is it actually parcour (which is also a real activity but not the same thing). If it's Parkour (related to free-running) could you get me any information on that? Specifically, who is incharge of the sessions, what qualifications do they have, where do sessions take place and what equipment is used, and who funds the scheme?
I'd really appreciate that, because I've had a couple of meetings with my local council to try and set up such a scheme, and I think I'd have much better luck if I could cite precedent. Thanks.
-
well all i can say is if you want me i will be there and with up to 3 other bockers in my car
a road trip is allways good
-
Hmm planning going from lowestoft toddy?
-

-
Probs not the march one, i think it clashes with lincoln!
:spudT:
-

You know you want to...
-

:spudT:
-
im gonna see about getting it late june early july time so dont book any meets for that time
aiden you cant go saying things like that to people. You are relying on individuals to give up their time and travel to your meet out of the goodness of their heart. Dont go telling people when they can and cannot make other arrangements. Show a little respect and consideration to others please.
-

bare wif me i wrote it when i was ill and not thinking
im sorry for making it sound so bad :P
