Haha, I am sooo stoked! it is sunny and beautiful out... and I am bocking away. Around thirty minutes in my first session and I'm walking about pretty well. Dehydrated, though, so I came in for a drink.
I got the Poweriser Pros, so they have the calf strap instead of the kneebar, which I think is nifty. is there any modifications or alterations that are "must-have" and I should do right off the bat? Anything to prolong the life of my springs or "hooves" would be much appreciated.
I'm so excited!!

tyre socks(i do sell them and they come in good colours(pink, gree and white))
as well you may want to tape your spring as some people do, but i put pipe insulation around mine to stop me banging them around.

Well bubble wrap wasnt it today toddy :haha: Toddy's tire socks are awesome..so grippy when i borrowed chocl8's bocks I forgot and slipped over..was so funny. My first real fall and fall onto concrete :biggrin:
Check out the mods section of the forum but yes..first mods should be taping springs and tire socks. tutorials and all sorts in there.
Have fun on your bocks :) and dont forget to get some video :)

Schweet. I'll look into makin some tyre socks (bein in the USA and all, shipping is probably ridiculous) and I'm actually thinking about doing the tyre spring guard on stiltmodz.com, because that is just too nifty. Thx for input.
Little update: I am now walking forward and backward all over the yard (err, garden?) and can hop a lil bit. legs are feelin it a tad, but I haven't been doing much but sitting here looking at the forum since I rodered em :D
Party on!

well tbh it will not cost that much to send them

Hey :)
Glad to hear you finally got them. After waiting a long time for the delivery.
Hope you have as much fun on them as you did waiting for them :P
Shyatt ;D

haha, yeah, totally awesome on these things. Both me and my mate, Paul have been ripping around on them last night and today. Both got running down and are working on vertical jumps. Found a near essential modification for my new Poweriser Pros was to sand/grind down some of the metal edges, as the machined finish was sharp as hell, and I sliced my knuckles something fierce. Other than that, all is good, I'm hoping I'll still be able to move tomorrow so I can keep bocking :D
Peace.

Darn you and your American weather! ;D
I think the Summer is finally here where I live, but the previous few weeks have been taunting me with the promise of sunshine, then pouring with rain!
It's all good now :) but still think I need to move to California! :)
