Title: Re: first time
Post by: Nero on February 29, 2008, 10:17:47 AM: getting up isnt that hard, when youve done it a few times, trick is get the front leg as close to your chest as possible.
the reason i said that though is theres nothing funnier than a bocker scrambling to get up.
its almost like a turtle on his back ;D
Title: Re: first time

Title: Re: first time

Much harder to learn than bocks though, took me a good couple of hours to even go a couple meters, lol

Title: Re: first time
Post by: Charlie B on March 19, 2008, 08:55:17 PM: Bought my wife a unicycle for Christmas, I tried and nearly broke my ankle when I just tried to get on.

well difficult
Title: Re: first time
Post by: Cpt_Tangerine on March 27, 2008, 05:26:41 PM: Bocks have arrived! Yeah!

I've had an hour or so's totter around on them. Was walking unaided (mostly) after about 10 minutes. It does occur to me though, that the problem with learning to stand up on them is that you already have to be fairly confident with your balance, or otherwise you'll get upright and end up coming straight back down again ...

... could be wrong, haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to have a more in-depth explore of what they'll do tomorrow :-)
Title: Re: first time
Post by: Dark Knight on March 27, 2008, 07:12:10 PM: We tell everyone it's easy to pick up :)
Just don't run before you can walk and stop !?
First time I started to get any speed up I found I couldn't slow down :o
Thankfully I was able to grab and sign otherwise I'd still be on me round Britain tour :biggrin:

And most of all Welcome fellow bocker :thumbsw

Title: Re: first time
Post by: Cpt_Tangerine on March 31, 2008, 01:30:03 PM: OH NO!

I've broken my elbow on my 2nd outing on the bocks! :banghead:

I was doing really well, and got up to a bit of a limited run a couple of times ... and managed to stop, and then I got up a bit of speed, lost it, fell over and whacked the inside of my elbow on the tarmac!

Man that's annoying!

Still, at least they've said that I don't have to wear a cast so I can still drive, type, and so on. So it could be worse. I'm just hoping it knits quickly.

Post by: Dark Knight on March 31, 2008, 01:37:26 PM: Did you have safety pads on ?

lol only if it's not near tea time please :haha:
Title: Re: first time
Post by: Cpt_Tangerine on April 01, 2008, 12:52:41 AM: DK - I did have safety pads on, but as it turned out, they were in the wrong places - wrists and knees, but not elbows. Won't make that mistake again.

Sorry all, but it's not at all gruesome, it just looks like my ordinary arm, which being ginger and freckly is gruesome enough, I guess :) The only real noticeable difference is a certain C-3POness to it's carriage.

Welcome to the Broken bone club not to many of us yet but I'm sure the numbers will climb :haha:

I hope not :haha: I think i am about as safe as I can get..like a ninja turtle....All I need it the eye mask thing now :(

Serious message people...Bocks and safty gear match like jeans and a tshirt with the added bonus of protecting yourself from fallls and stuff. also the more safety gear I wear the more confident I am.
Title: Re: first time
Post by: Nero on April 01, 2008, 08:19:13 PM: somewhere in the gallery there are images of the first time i went out on mine, i look like robocop, i had a full face downhill mtb helmet on & my mtb body armour.
the funny thing is i dont think i had started using my knee pads with my bocks yet and im not sure i had wrist guards yet either lol
i now do the exact opposite protect my wrists and shin/knees but never wear my body armour, i always carry my new bocking helmet, but its rare i use it.
Title: Re: first time
Post by: Spud on April 01, 2008, 08:23:57 PM: Full helmet thats extreme and no wrist guards :haha: Lol my helmet is lime green...really bright..I think that makes me ninja turtle-ish oh and the body armor and rest of it lol.
