Title: First Fall
Post by: ForestMunch on February 12, 2008, 08:08:04 PM
This may bring memories for many but i went for my first "big" jump around today having had the jumpers for near enough a month.  Took my mrs 4 year old daughter out with me and it was only a matter of time until it happened.  I thought it would have hurt but i somehow managed to dive into a forward roll and take out a bin with me and then fell another 3 times and didn't hurt myself surprisingly.  Stupidly though i wasn't wearing safety gear as i couldn't find it but for future reference, wrist guards i see, is a must!
Anyone had any dramatic falls yet?  I was going to try some flips etc on the grass but it was way too soft to get decent height.  Only a matter of time.......... :Straddle5:

You should always keep your pads with your stilt !?
If you can't find your pads .... doesn't matter !?
Because you can't find your stilts  :biggrin:  :thumbs:

true, the pads are with my skates which are still up at my dad's house (somewhere).  haven't gone to get them since moving in with the mrs.  Maybe a trip to the old home is needed? :rolleyes:

I got protection even before I got my bocks, and only really wear my wrist guards, but my new calf cuff design has a integrated knee pad system built in, so I am always wearing knee pads!!  :banana:
