Hex
-
when is it?
-
about 2weeks after the london meet (i cant make that :'( >:( :'( ) im looking at arranging it for Sept 2nd (Sunday)
-
oo after the london meet is perfect for me as ill have my bocks then :) ill just see if transport is find first before saying yesi m comnig lol
-
Oxford is an our away from London Paddington Station and has a good bus service from London Victria aswell, im thinking about setting up a bit of orrienteering (half way up lamp posts) any other ideas?
-
I'll probably be able to come to that. I can't make London, but I wan't to meet with people who actually know what they're doing before I break my pjs again...
-
ok cool, is that a deffinate yes? if so cool, say mid-day at the train station? any one else that wants to come leave a msg so i know who will be about.
-
erm, how did you break the 1st set?
-
Well it wasn't really the pjs that broke. The white plastic spring protecting things (not quite sure what they're supposed to be called...) fell out. The problem was that one of the ones behind the spring fell out and got snapped in half. I had to get them replaced, and then learn how to do that, so I missed they're debut performance at a uni event. Now I'm paranoid about any strange noise in case something like that happens again. I just figure that if I'd meet someone who knew what they were doing I'd have known to look out for something like that happening.
Plus it'd be good to meet any other bockers, I appear to be the only one in York.
I think I'll definately be there. I will have to resist the urge to bring all my toys...Anyone ever tried unicycling while wearing pjs?
...Well I might bring one staff...
-
one staff?? erm, ok, i wont even ask about the uni-cycling . . . .
-
there is a vid here of a guy cycling with them on
-
I'll need to watch that. I'll give unicycling a go at some point, but I really should get better at using them normally first.
Do we know of anyone else wanting to join us yet? Or is everyone bocked out after London?
-

Yes !? :-\
But I couldn't sit on the seat so it was no good ( I just as rubbish on it as bocking ) ?
Has for Oxford too many bill to pay so can't make it :(
-
im thinkin of doin a cambs meet on the same day ill change our post to match with yours and see if we can make it too oxford instead lol
-
Looks like you'll be getting a couple of JJ's coming along to this too. That's BmthBloke and myself. Maybe even Sprog, if we can tear him away from his PC.
-
Hex is still at his SCOUT camp at the mo I think ----he gonna get a fright when he gets back ;D
Now I seem to recall from my history lessons that during the civil war Oxford was the royalist CAPITAL :o
-

LOL I've got a car but I'm so skint I can buy petrol to go :o
-
hey guys, just got back off of my camp, goin to 2days of archery tomorrow, so away again for a bit, in a tent again, i hope the rest of the london meet went well, i had to run off, the camp leader called and had a go :( but thats life, im glad there is a lot of interest for this meet, i have no deffined route atm, but its a big shopping town, so theres no end of open places to show off, mebe some one can give me advice on flips!
im aiming for a mid-day meet at the train station, should be easy enough to find for people, plus theres a big carpark just over the road for those that are driving.
-
Cheers Hex. Can you give the name of two roads by the train station or a post-code . For the satnav ta
-
I might come to this, I need to check transport first.
EDIT: transport is not looking good so I probably wont be coming
-
O ET you got my hopes up just to crush them :(
-
why is transport bad? theres trains to all over the place, plus a national express coach!
i dont know the post code or road names, i dont actually drive myself yet, i just use the busses and trains, but i can find out as i have to travel back on friday, so i will find out for you then.
-
wer is everyone meetin on sunday im planning on gettin train to oxford as i dont fancy a 2 n half hour drive lol will other people be gettin trains to oxford aswell ?
ET how come Capital Bockins over 2 days or isit just the 17th like in the pic of the Tee ?
-
i was planning on meetin at the train station, as its across from the carpark, and that way people getting the trains dont have to bounce around looking for the meeting place.
not quite sure what we wil get up to, but its a good shopping town, plenty of open spaces to do tricks and show off, so i imagine that we will all be kept busy!
-
yeh i wanna come up so im hoping i can get train as my sat nav has sed a 3 hour drive to oxford from my house :( so if its ok rob r u going from cambs i will jump on with u
Carl
-
i am already going to be in oxford, i am based at RAF Brize Notron, about an hours bus ride from Oxford, so ill be gettin the bus in that morning, the best way to go it to get into london, circle line to Paddington, then look at the departures board for a train that stops at only a couple of stops before oxford else you will be on that train for ages.
-
yea for us to get a train to oxford is like 3 nrly 4 hours so wer gonna drive ther now lol
-
i normally do about 5hours trains and busses to get home, so im used to the system now, it can get rather boring!
-
ok guys, just so i have a clue of how many people are coming, can i have numbers, e.g. e yes on here, and the meet is planned to start at midday, any other questions, post on here or txt me on 07795344343.
-
Would be better to pm your numbers to each other rather than giving them out on a public forum guys!
Wouldn't want you getting prank / nuisance calls.
-
yea 3 nrly 4 hours on a train lookin at my bocks would drive me mental, if i look at them for more then 15 mins i want to go on them, i was lookin at them comin home from london n i had to look away i wanted to bock on the train lol.
ill be with carl and possibly paul self and johnny aka german jr if anyone thinks they will need to contact me pm me and ill send my mobile number back
is ther a specific meetin place, or general idea of where we are goin etc
-
Bmth Bloke and I will be coming. I'll PM you my number, just in case.
-
yay tundraH and obviously bmthbloke tundraH i will be the person who buys u jaffa cakes so u better remember lol
-
His going to forget you again just so that next time you can get him some more goodies lol
-
is ther a specific meetin place, or general idea of where we are goin etc
I'm guessing the train station could be a good meeting place, unless there is more than one.
tundraH i will be the person who buys u jaffa cakes so u better remember lol
I'm glad to hear it, I'm lookign forward to them Jaffie cakes. :D
I think the main reason for not rememberign you was that Magzzie was being very persistent in being heard and talking over/to everyone. Is he coming to this meet?
His going to forget you again just so that next time you can get him some more goodies lol
I am not that dishonest but I shall remember that trick for future Jaffa cake related incidents. Are you coming Naz?
-
I'm not coming Colin... I was just jumping on the thread lol ;)
But on the goodies note I'm jus gonna grab some penny sweets now
-
Ahhh Penny sweet I love Em ;D
My local sainsburys has stopped selling pick and mix so I am in a mass depression :'(
-
I suspect about a 3 hour drive for me too. But just did the same to Plymouth and bocked for nearly 5 hours wasnt a prob ( just remember to pix up a coffee for the drive home).
I know there are park and rides for Oxford. So might stop at 1 of those to the south of the city.
-
It's only an hour long train from Basingstoke so I'm definately coming.
Anyone know where a skate or boarding shop is in Oxford? I still need to get a helmet and better foot straps and it'll probably be easiest to get them on Sunday.
-
i shall ask around when i get back to work for a skate shop, and have a look on the saturday, mite try to descide a deffinative plan of action aswell (being millitary i should have a plan already, oops!! hehe! ;D )
reference to fone number, i trust people enough not to be that petty (prank calls)
Penny sweets, i havent seen them in ages!
-
i used o work in a shop that sold pick n mix i kept eating them on shift hence why i used to work in a shop lol.
magzzie is not coming to this meet as far as we know he came to the one in cambridge on bank hol monday, and as far as i remember he aint comin
-
In London I hardly see any shops that sell the good old penny sweets but in Lancashire there's loads that still do - so everytime I go down I stock up...
This site has the best sweets ever http://www.retrosweets.co.uk/penny_chews.shtm
... And I know this post has absolutely nothing to do with the Oxford meet so I promise not to hijack your thread again trix lol
-
i wasnt going to say anything, but as you seem to have, this is about a meet, not sweets!
-
well im takin tundraH jaffa cakes so its sorta about sweets and a meet lol, is the plan to meet at the train station yea
-
I supose that makes it about sweetmeets ;D
