hey everyone, how are you all, ive missed ya.
what a couple of months ive had, since just before christmas i was rushed off my feet with design work and such other boring things, that i was crammed out till last saturday.
so i took my boys bug hunting in the early afternoon then managed at last to get back out on my bocks.
wow i missed that i tell ya.
before i went out i checked out the swebounce site for some inspiration as i had only done a tuck so far and to be honest by christmas i wanted to be flipping.
but i strapped my new azonic surrond sound lid on and went for it, i managed to do a tuck, pike, star, backgrab (left and right) and a back scratcher which i done while doing a 360. :banana: :banana: :banana:
i came back and had the most unsightliest lump sticking out my left calf from where the stupid square pad had been maiming me, so i finally got round to taking jasons advice and getting shot of them, this did leave some sharp metal blocks but some pipe insulation and gaffer tape has dealt with that.
i have also taped my springs up at last, but i used red electrical tape like this one :tape:
not sure im loving the redand gold but itll do for now.
i didnt manage to have any video this time as my usual camera man was p**sed up from the friday night still (kids huh?)
on a different note i have been chatting to some friends about giving me some funding to start a printing side of my design work, this will involve high quality long lasting apparell, hats, mouse mats, cups, car and bike vinyls as well as the normal printing and promotional stuff, if i can pull this off (and i sooooo want to) i will send Nas, Jason and Carma a sample of my work, from then i will price everything to do with this site somewhere here and offer the service to all.
but i know i can do tshirts and maybe hoodies for under £10 posted now, so if i was doing them myself i could hook you all up.
b***hing i missed another midlands meet this weekend, but i was bug hunting at the time and its all about the kids.
this saturday my airsoft team are at bassetts pole for some ownage, but the weekend after perhaps we could all hit birmingham city centre, ill buy beer!

Yeh Nero's back!
I was wondering where you disappeared to...
Good to know your getting into bocking again and look forward to the pics, There's a chap called nofear on here who may be interested in meeting up depending on where you are so I'll let him know.
About the printing, I'd be interested in looking at your stuff for sure as we do need to get some tops done!
-
aye no worries, ill try and get some samples done in the next week, i got friends with the machines i need to do it
-
hi nero any chance of doing some of those flags peeps had attached to their car windows for all the footie but with club logos?
-
mhmmm kinda, but not as cheap, im not up on that whole died printing, the stuff i prefer to use is vinyl thats then melted on, i use this as it'll last as long as a screen print will but takes half the time
-
I am extremely honoured to be listed alongside Naz and Jason! Thank you Nero, I look forward to the samples :D. I might have some designs you may be interested in for the car decals, should it all take off.
Best of luck!

Hoodies posted under £10? with printing back and front? May be intrested...:)
-
Could you choose what colour hoody?
-
If we supply the material can you print on to it (cotton drill about 60% polyester stands hot iron for over 30seconds without damage)
I ask because printing the spring covers at the moment is so labour intensive they aren't worth doing
Jason :Hoofies2:
-
Carma, you know what it is love?
your one of the people i respect most in the community as you try your hardest to organize things everyones gonna enjoy, you do great things for invicta.
so if i can get this set up, i know i can do us all good, so i wanna be on your mind when someone asks.
you know, like "actually, i know a man who can!".
Spud, yeah anything popular like, nothing obscure
Jason, ill have a look into it mate, i know its all teflon coated in the heat press but ive melted a few things when i was experimenting.
saying that the rubber on the back of a mouse mat takes it, so as long as its not touching the press directly it should work, but yes i can have your own stuff printed on as long as it takes the heat
-
I wana red hoody with a spud on the front and back hehe
-
aight ill have a look around see how cheap i can source you a hoody and get back to ya with a design and price mate
-
Fantastic...Thanks :biggrin:

Thank you Nero, that means so very much to me! I will be sure to keep you well advertised when you make it :p, because you will!

Sounds really good Nero
Once you get set up I'll send you a couple of test bits and see how they go
Jason :Hoofies2:
-
Glad you are back and unharmed. I found the Swebounce trick guides really helpful with learning new tricks too.
You mentioned "bike vinyls", would these stick to a lid? I'd love to brighten up my dull black lid with the JJ's or Banned Bockers logo.
-
well car vinylwill stick to pretty much anything, you know its gonna f**k the lid though right, the glues no good for the shell.
Oh and thanks for the welcome back tundrah
-
Oh well, it was a thought, back to the drawing board.
Your welcome. :)
-
Cant you get some other stickers?
-
not really no, its just glue in general as far as im aware
-
that sucks...Howabout making a stencil and spraying it?
-

Your getting into a whole different feild there... Unless you go into spraying professionally, the finish is going to look sh*t.
If I am correct, I beleive Nero is talking about serious professional decals.
-Carma (The Bocking Rocker)
-
I think he is. But tundraH is wants a cooler lid so I was thinking of stuff for that. Spraying isnt too bad if you spend ages annd ages prepping it
-
i guess depending on the type of paint, but dont quote me i could be very wrong on all counts, i just know that the glue in stickers weakens the shell of most types of helmet, looking at my azonic helmet its the shell plastic is all that colour, if its just plastic i dont see why not.
yes, carmas right these are quite thick 30 year vinyls that i would use for cars or bikes.
depending on the type of lid though i think a well cut stencil might look better, defo would look better on a p*ss pot style lid
give it a half done messy style
-
Its just gona be time, prep and research
-
Paint or vinyl takes a lot of patience and a good strategy, to get it right!!
-
All safety helmets have the same problem
There are stickers that are safe for use on them and there are paints that are safe to use on them but most manufacturers don't like you to do it and won't recommend any paint to use on them as some make the helmet material brittle with the obvious problem
So to sum up any sticker or paint job will probably invalidate your warrenty and may cost you your life if the helmet fails in a bad flip
Having said all that my favorite site hat is painted cammo so I'm stupid :haha:
Jason :Hoofies2:
-
Is that so they don't see you moving around!! :nana:
-
If you want a cooler helmet there are those tesco's one Naz put on here. Cheap too.
-
No Sx it's so they don't see me asleep in the corner because I've knackerd myself by bocking all lunchtime :haha:
-
lol jason, thats a good idea, maybe i could try it in uni one day, lol
-
If you want a cooler helmet there are those tesco's one Naz put on here. Cheap too.
They are illegal to wear on a motorbike though. :rolleyes:
-
We sell Nitro Racing Helmets that are road legal that can be found on ghostbikes.com if you fancy a browse Colin!
However for some reason I think you will may like...

but thats for offroad use!
-
How well you know me, I would be tempted but it wouldn't go with my cruiser. I can't believe how cheap the full face helmets are though. :o I paid £150 for my first one and that was knocked down by 40%.
-
Most of the full face ones are now almost 75% discounted, as we should be getting newer models in soon. The N750's I think were £99 at one point... and the special edition Steve Plate & Thomas ones were £150 and eventually went down to about £50 but they are all sold out now!
At the moment the better deals for the bikers is on the Swift boots and the NB101 boot as they have just been reduced.
-
Sweet, I am in deperate need of some new boots, my Dads mutt chewed mine up and now they leak. :(
How long will these prices be staying?
-
Until Stocks last, once they gone thats it usually.
-
Ok, thought as much. They will certainly be getting an order from me for some new boots, maybe a lid too. Might even order a small pink MX one, like above, to sit on my mantel piece.
-
Ur Mad!
-
Those prices are too insane to miss, so why would I be mad?
-
I guess your right!
If the MX helmet's just going to be sitting on the mantelpeice wait for a few days as I'm going to separate the kids and adult sizes and the kids prices will be a little bit cheaper :thumbs:
-
I would have got the right size but they are out of big head ones, lol.
Wicked, now to hope there is one left in three weeks for pay day.
