Following the success of the April event I have been able to get the North Kesteven Sports Hall all day again from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm
The last event was enjoyed by all, I would like to think we can do the same or better so please put the date in your diaries.
Please can you reply to the Yellow Belly Section to prevent double posting
-
yeh would love to be at this one.
-
Ok all
I am using just this post and have locked the yellowbelly post.
7 Days to go and we will have all the goodies we had last time including the cubes and high jump.
Also I believe there will be some more matting so you can all practice like mad.
As per last time I will be running a freestyle competition so sharpen up the moves.
Now for the really good news.
Pro-jump have agreed to Sponsor this and 3 other events. This combined with the support of the North Kesteven Council means that I will not have to charge for this event.
Last time we got about 30 bockers turn up. This time it looks like we may be looking at 60.
The venue can cope but I do now need to get a handle on numbers.
Please can you confirm your attendance by pm me
-
Just sorted a spelling mistake
-
Well you can count me in :Dark_Knight:
Are you going to make a couple of signs telling the public that we are there ?
There's not many safe places to view us so maybe it would be good idea to piont them to the right places.
Last time we did get some people interested and looking which is what we want, more people joining us. But they did stand in the doorways which wasn't the best thing to do :-\
Oh and remember where you put your tool box and I'll remember where I put my video camera :biggrin:
-
we still need to see that clip of clive tripping over his tool box but no one wants to put it up :haha:
-
DK has the video, oh the shame ;D
Good point about people coming in to look, any offers on getting a poster ?
-
I'll park where I did last time and put my 110's in the window and put a note in the window.
I'm going to get some sticker for my roofbox sometime but at the monent I have a couple of PJ's postcards in the window for people to read :thumbs:

if someone designs one, ill b happy enough to print like 10 copies on a high quality A3 printer ;)
-
OK all
3 days to go.
Please can I advise you of the following
Essential Safety Equipment
Knee Pads
Elbow pad
Desirable
Elbow pads
Helmet
When you arrive you will be given a safety briefing and asked to complete some forms. If you do not complete you will not be allowed to bock.
I will need help with spotting etc, please volunteer to do this for some of your stay.
currently I know 30 + people are coming with a possibility of more. If you are coming and have not yet PMed me or confirmed on this thread please do so so I can get a better idea of numbers. The venue can deal with 60 so this should not be an issue but I would like to know for planning and media purposes.
-
you missed the all important wrist pads clive.
-
RIGHT.....im now buzzin bout this event....BUT i dont know where it is or anything can anyone give me a postcode?

Here's a link !

I'd also like to say that you enter the centre from the side road not the main road and it does look like a school ? Enter and follow the road way to the right and drive to the far end of the car park. There's a fence at the end and the gyms through that and on the left, my car should be parked near the gate in the fence ( With a big white roof box ).
-
you missed the all important wrist pads clive.
I think he ment wrist guards in the essential safety equipment and just wrote elbow pads in both lists by mistake
-
I only know one persons who always wears a helmet :spudT:
I find a helmet feel odd on stilts and I'm a biker who's done more than 20,000 miles !
Not to say that you shouldn't wear one you never know what may happen ?
" Mind that wall !!! " :banghead:
-
Ok less than 24 hours to go
You are right I got it wrong essentail should read wrist and Knee pads
-
With regards to helmets
Most of the area will have some form of padding so helmets will not be needed. However if you wish to try something new on the hard surface there will be safety requirements around spotters and equipment. This is partly in response to some requests by Health & Safety and also better practice following some previous incidents at other meets.
The safety briefing will clarify. So please do not be put off, I just do not want anyone hurt or have to go through legal action.
-
You should now have all the info you require
If anyone wants anymore please call me on 079 444 67980
One last point anyone coming past Coventry ? If you are and have space in your car PM quickly please

I just had a quick look at an old aubria post, top height they got there was 1.9m which is roughly 6ft 1 inch, dammit, if only the bar had gone up another 3inches, not 6 i reckon i coulda got it... :(
-
I'll post your high jump once I've sorted my stupid PC ( doesn't play video's ! ).
I didn't leave my camera in a stupid place this time :D
I did something embarrassing in the lift :o
None of you see it but it could have happen to any of you !
Well I didn't notice the lift had two doors and when your on Bocks you do turn around a lot and I didn't notice the back door open so waited for the other doors to open when the lift stopped :-[

Posted a few images in gallery that i took on my phone, anyone else got any? :)

I took some photo's and video's but I think we should put watermarks on photo's when posting on forums ?
If you like the picture you could alway ask the person for a unmarked copy.
Would stop people using your images for other sites :thumbs:
Most picture I post are marked in some way ?
-
pfff effort, if they were really good pictures, i would, but they ain't so no.
-

Also my stills camera threw a wobbly, can anyone provide me with some stills Naz & I can use to promote future events.

You suck. Get a bloody grip.
-
I think i do have a grip :-)
-
Whats the problem naz? We support PJ quite a lot on x/bocks. There is no need to go doing that.
-
Locky uploaded photos to facebook. Being the tagging machine that I am (you all remember the CB photos), if you're in them and you're my friend on facebook... You've been taggeded.
-
Simple, we don't allow links to PP therefore the same goes to XB, you know how it is, this has been in place before I started working here, when you were a mod here and helped implement the rule and it still will remain the same until it’s otherwise decided.
You obviously knew that the link to x-bocks won't be allowed so why go and change the url to a tiny url one? Knowing full well it will be changed? I know you have links to us on your site, if this was an independent site then I too would have links to all other bocking sites here but it’s not. We allow links to club sites and info sites but that’s it.
We try our best to support the community, with our sponsorships and go out of our way to help the community, as you know if you needed help with things, we would help you out too, but unfortunately this is not something I see changing for some time.

But but but my article on brand types and things lists PJs as the best bocks for beginners :'(
LOL. I understand the rule Naz, I may not agree with it, but I guess as a retailer it is a fairish rule. :)
-
I know, and honestly I appreciate it greatly but at the end of the day like you said we are retailer and its a simple business desicion that was made before I started but it is one that I agree with.
-
Well you know what I only went to the bother of getting the tinyurl because I dont usually post vids on here but seeing as this event was sponsored by you guys I thought I would.
Sorry I even bothered now.
-
You could have just posted the youtube url, surely it would have been easier?
