First I have loved the ones you have done so far Joe (specialy the fall one  :Claugh:)

A few that I feel would have helped me when I started

The big one for me was jumping up onto and /or over things like seats and walls
The fear of catching the hoof and faceplanting kept me from it for ages but recently I seem to have lost some of the fear (After the step lesson you gave me  :Cbiggrin: )

Also one that may seem simple but I find myself teaching people all the time is going from a run into a jump
A lot of people when they start can run or jump but the transition is hard until you get that one foot leap

Last jumping off of something high and killing the bounce when you land
I see so many falls from people when they first try jumping down steps and don't get both feet together
Landing on one foot is the surest way to fall

Thanks for pointing him there mate
Once you have them set up there is an easy rule to get them ballanced

Which ever way you feel you are falling off them move the cuff in that direction (Easier to show than tell)

Eg if your right foot feels like it is falling off the outside of the bock move the cuff bars to the outside until it feels right

Once you get them ballanced they feel so much better and remember that your legs might be different (Mine are) so you might have the left and right cuff set differently

That will be handy mate as it is difficult to explain in words how to get them just right and it makes such a difference if they are right

Looking forward to it

Sprog made an early video on how to set them up backwards. Most of the WB's still use this method and it has fondly become known as Sproggy Style.

As a note it is essential you ALWAYS over lap the velcro so the sections interlock 4 times when doing it sproggy style and use the outter most velcro strap to go over the existing velcro joints as back up. This is shown in the video but you really cannot take any chances

I'll probably do a much clearer tutorial for this when we get some nice weather since it involves rotating the cuff so it faces backwards and it's not all that clear unless you have one finshed to look at. Infact we might have time to finally do Bockers TV this year.

Gotta admit that a lot of people wear them that way round and it is a lot easier to do them up that way

But be aware that it is possible to get it wrong and have them come undone at an inoppotune time and your supplier will probably have a fit if they see you  :Claugh:

I only know of it happening once but it looked like it hurt and the ankle was out of use for a long while so make sure you get it right

The buckle is a bit of a bind when you use them the right way but you do get used to it (or so I am told )
