Well, Ive been chatting to Gixer for a while, and realised that she wasnt all to comfortable with using her bocks, so we arranged a meet, and today we went out in Norwich, padded up more than a priceless ming vase, Gixer took her 1st steps outside, and with a big grin, said, 'Dont bloody well let me fall on my arse.' She sppend a good couple of hours bouncing, and has got the hang of walking and started to jump a bit! If I can I'll get her to send me the video so I can put it up!
Well done Gixer!
No excuses now, see you at the EA Norwich meet! :Straddle5:
-
Yea well done gixer :thumbs:
-
Well done Gixer and good on your hex for been such a sweetie :thumbs:
-
Yea. Its really nice of him. Thanks to him we all get to meet her.
Random thing. Sombody in Norwich a while ago was shouting at us by the castle saying he could use bocks. My mate was on them at the time. Any ideas who this mystery bocker might be.
-
Well done Gixer, sounds like you are mastering the art of bocking, lol
-
Hex you bugger you beat me to it :D Yeah I felt like a bit of a twit with my bike helmet on but I'd rather be safe than sorry!!! Priceless some of the looks you got from people, I simply CANNOT imaging doing flips in these things, I just can't - ARGH! I don't feel I can bounce hard or high enough, I've not got enough weight to get a good bounce :(
If anyone is up for another bimble around Norwich on a Sunday let me know cos it's nice and quiet and I deffo need more practice, just don't want to wander around on my own :-\
Lesson learned was HAVE A PEE before you start bouncing up and down.....if I bounced too hard I nearly peed myself :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
-
damn, things like that make me glad im a bloke Gixer lol. Peeing while bouncing cant be good
-
*nearly* peeing :P
Forgot to say a big THANKS to Hex for hanging out and not laughing at me too much....Ming Vase indeed!!!! I value my bones and body parts I'll have you know ;D
-
Going to the meet now. I am well up for meeting you in the city sometime.
-
Should see me there at the norwich meet, just being me!! lol
-
Spud, I did ask the Parkour peeps about you, they mentioned someone was saying they had a pair, I said, would she be called Spud? he gave me a really weird look, and asked how I knew! lol! :Straddle5:
-
I dont know them I dont think. who are they argh??
-
How do they know my name ???
-
~I said, a young girl, called Spud, he said yep, thats the one! lol
-

thanks hybrid hex :)
-
fell off my bocks, while having a fag, was a laugh for me, lol
-
Simple rule for the EA's is if you dont fall over your not tryin and in a weird way fallin over dosnt really hurt that much and people are more impressed when you get up then when tryin to do a trick lol
-
People think getting up unaided is the best trick, you can do with them, lol
-
yea espescially after a ''bad'' fall lol the more painfull the fall looks if you get up there more impressed so guys learn how to fall over make it look bad n then get up lol
-
Just don't make it look like mine, when I fell over at CiN, lool
-
i stacked at CiN down a main road lol soon got back up tho and carried on kanga bouncin
-
Really find it hard to get up unaided, not sure if its a flexibility isue or a strength issue
I was trying to run fast, caught the springs together and went skidding along the road. Tried hard to get up but couldn`t. Was thinking about crawling on my hands and knees to a wall about 20 yds away when a lady walking her dog and children offered to provide some support. Really worried about heaving 13 stone off her and causing an injury but managed to get up with some dignity. :-[
-
just takes practise charlie i couldnt do it but at the first cambridge meet i fell and then had to learn to get up rob was so pressuring but im glad i done it

Which method do you use to get up?
Theres a few different ones...
Theres these three vids showing the method where you put one leg in front of the other kindof
from sfstilter
&e
then theres also the one from BalthezarArith really nicely shot
And also one from urbantricker
then you have the method where you do splits and then "jump" yourself up...

Sorry Gixer for going off topic :-[
-
The best way to get up is just not to fall over ;D
Webby your taking the mic with that last one :)
-
last time i was out i dropped my lighter, well it flew out of an unzipped pocket in my bag, i had to fall over to pick that up as hard as i tried, then found the lighter hadnt survived the fall. :banghead:
on topic, well done gixer and top bloke hex!
-
OMG BalthezarArith makes it look so easy! I can't Imagine doing that splits thing to pick up a hat :O Will deffo need some spring guards for when I practise I think or I'll wreck them :biggrin:
