i need to know whats the worst that can happen
any1 else lol at this??
-
1st off where r u? maybe some one may be near you who will let u have a go.
Worst possible? not v helpfull as the 'worst' tend to b really freaky stuff. I mean, ive seen a vid of some1 who manage to stuff the handle bar into their mouth and out the back of their neck ( amazingly no lasting damage). Basically 1 off kind of things
bocking is on a similar par to mountain bikin. yep fall over a bit, not too much. if you are wearing the proper pads, falling over is just embarressing. if not then it can hurt, but normally only a 'bit'.

LMAO. Nicely pointed out Hilly.
Worst that could happen?
Theoretically? Yeah, you could break your neck.
Most Likely? Nothing, as long as you take it slow and learn at a suitable pace, and do not push yourself too much when you're starting out. Especially if you wear all the right protective gear.
It's no more dangerous than other "extreme" sports, and as long as you are sensible it can be perfectly safe.

Be especially careful on TUESDAYS
-
where is jason when you need him :Cchatterbox:
and point
be stupidly careful when you are around jason, it spreds like flue
-
some of this is really great advice but i really need to know what kind of injuries are generally obtained when powerbocking with the right saftey gear
-
with the right, and correct safety gear you may get a couple of scr***es and brusies, i think someone managed to break their little finger with wrist guards on, thats about as bad as it can get, if as sprog said your in a correct environment, and not trying to do flips say on your first time on them.
with out pads, you can break your wrists, but i figure seen as your getting them for christmas and your mom has a say in it, your only young, so you should make sure you are fully padded up and if your gonna try anything stupid make sure your around other bockers who know what can go wrong, and what to do if it does.
but in short Bocking is a dangerous as the person on the stilts, i touch of common sense and the correct padding and you should be like robo bocker, unbreakable.

HAHAHA check out profile avatars.. theyre prttey bad lmao
-
I think the worst injury is a guy got hit by a truck and was in a coma for about a month :S but he was on a road :S

I think you should tell your mam it not a case of what's the worst that can happen. It's a case of risk management and as every one is saying, manage the risks with the safety gear and where you bock and it's safer than playing Rugby or football.
:Cyes:
Sorted!

my parents gave me the exact excuse for not buying me some pjs last march.
They didnt want a guilty conscience if i hurt myself. lol.
so what i did is i saved and went out and bought them myself. and then went ha! look what i got....
and then two months later i said ... "hey, look at this nasty scar on my forhead ... yea it bled loads!"
fun times
-
well you can jump around on thm bit like being on a trampoline but dont try the sit drop like i did it dont work ,but hell did it hurt,,cracked my hip bone... think your post should have said whats the worse that has happen to people on stilts :Ctwitcy:
-
Actually, y'know what, these videos include a lot of stuff with people messing up, falling over, etc. And none of them were injured beyond a couple of bruises and cuts.
-
this convo makes me lol whats the worse that can happen with bouncing 6ft in the air and what if u fall on ur head at this height hmm XD
MASSIVE TIP:
dont tell ur mum the downers only the highs lol (like what i did there high bouncing get it highs;)) anyway tell ur mum the health beneifts coz like the worse that can happen is u die XD lol yer dont tell ur mum that :P
-
Well, your heart stops for a split second every time you sneeze so i wouldnt worry about it. Sprains and breaks are more common. More serious injuries are rare. I would say its no more dangerous than football.
-
And if your a spectator at a Millwall match bocking is probaply a lot less dangerous :Claugh:
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
