Title: The Original Bocker!!!!!!!
Post by: hybrid_hex on July 16, 2008, 06:31:17 PM

I have just seen the Original bocker!!!!!

All I will say, is watch Back To The Future.

Just after Marty goes back in time and is walking through the town square, the camera pans across, and Low behold, there is a yound lad, bouncing down the road, on what I can only presume is the 1st attemt at bocks!!!

Take a look and tell me what you think!!!

I've not got a copy to hand but I believe your talking about MOON SHOES ?

We have a idea the first stilts which you'd call "Bock" like ( should that be the other way round ? ) where about in the 70's

Hard to get a decent shot, they look like they're really weak springs attached to shoes just.
