Yeah I was expecting it to be a bit more "organised" than it was but its great that it got the coverage, I got so many calls from friends saying that them funny stilt things you lot sell are on tele lol

Like the organised jumping we did for the BBC in Cardiff  :rolleyes:
We all stood close together and then started jumping up and down then people started doing scissor kicks and split kick inchs from each others faces  :o

I don't know what I was expecting to be honest but I think it came across really well, there was simple jumping to Splits and Flips so that was really cool to see. I think to do something synchronised with that many performers would be really hard.

I agree with Naz, although it looked pretty crap and disorganised to us, it boosted the appeal of bocking worldwide and showed a good range of skills :)

First of all.

You should never laugh at someones safety equipment

You may not mind cuts and broken bones but others do ! If they feel safe and happy wearing it let them don't take the P's  >:(

Beside it's part of the costumes and adds colour  :banana:

WWOOOKKK that sounds like I touched a nerve it was only meant as a joke and not a a serious coment
Title: Re: olympic bocking
Post by: toddy on August 26, 2008, 05:51:56 PM
as well they have to set a good example for the sport so wearing helmets is a good idea for this
Title: Re: olympic bocking
Post by: choco bean on August 26, 2008, 06:24:16 PM
I've got to say though, it looks as if the helmets are bike ones ... not the best choice in the world...
Title: Re: olympic bocking
Post by: toddy on August 26, 2008, 07:04:37 PM
well the normal helmets that you would use for bocking is a biking helmet
as it is a p**s pot, rather than a xc one
