Title: Greetz to fellow bockers!/..
Post by: Glasto_Bocker on July 08, 2008, 11:00:57 PM

Dear all,

I'm just about to order my first pair of Pro-Jumps and am very excited about them.
I weigh 65Kg though, so am wondering whether to go for the 70Kg's or the 80Kg's... Any tips?
Will also order a bunch of padding I think to help me in those early hours of bocking!

Oh, and it's great to have found this forum. I'm 22, from Glastonbury. Though I currently live in London whilst approaching the end of my Uni studies...

Hope to see you all round!

Cheers,

Kirk

Welcome to the forum  :)

At 65kg, M80's would be a much better choice than M70's

I'm near yeovil so if you ever wanna come down for a bock your more than welcome, sure i could drag some of the JJ's up here aswell :D

Hey! Whatever you do,don't go squelching about on your bocks over at the Eavis's place. You'd be sure to fall on your a$$! By all means stomp all over the pigeons in Trafalgar square :laugh:...At 68 kilos I'm just starting to make the M80's a little softer...Had 'em about 3 weeks now but not had much time or good weather when time allows....Pads,wrist guards and a lid are deffo a smart move if you don't balance well at first, you'll be glad of the protection when you start running and then mastering the fine art of stopping... Welcome to the sport! :biggrin: :biggrin: :thumbs:

Hey Kirk.

I too weigh 65kg, and I went with the 90kg set. I've only been on them 6 times and can already bottom out.
So DO NOT go with the 70kg set. You'd regret it really soon!

Happy bouncing! :)

Hey/.

Thanks for the advice! I'm ordering the M80's! Just very annoyed at the poor weather we've been having across much of the country this past week; let's hope it improves!

Can't wait 'til they arrive!

Kirk

--Oh, and Athoul: yes, will definitely be in touch if I'm around Somerset with the Bocks at any point...
--Nobby: No worries, will not be bouncing about Worthy Farm! But keen to get out and about into groups or events if there are such things in the London area? Perhaps for beginners...?
