Just curious :) Since I got my bocks I have been using my bocks as often as possible depending on weather, but it'll probably change when I have to go back to school :(
So, how often do you bock?
-
as long as it'sabove -5 degrees, the wind is less than 40 knots and the rain is less than drizzle i'll bock, try to fit in as much as i can, even if it means bocking round the campus at 3am once my works finished
-
so before darf will bock he gets his windspeed meter out his rain detector and makes shore he lays down grit on the road hell also put up a no cars people aliens planes helicopters or anyone other than bockers sign near his house
so he dosent bock much :D (btw its ment to be a joke :) )
but there isnt a strictpolasy on using them if u dnt use em then ur choice :P but hu dosent wanna use em really i use mine wen ever i can but i use em for a hour break for a week coz my knees are still f***ed so i cant do any proper bocking :( but yer if they were better id use em at least 4 times a week XD :X-Smile:

-
Funny that I think :banana: looks like me on Bocks
Don't worry Trip with the amount of modifications I've done on Bocks I'm to busy running from the Boeck family to sue anyone :haha:

AS MUCH A PROSIBAL
-
now back on topic
i dont use mine as much as i should :x_stress:
-
3-4 times a week. Less in the winter and more in the summer if we get one.
-
more in the summer if we get one.
:haha: and aint the truth
I try to bock every day. Sometimes happens sometimes doesn't. My village completely sucks for bocking because there are no steps or anything and the ground is all uneven and I find when I jump on the huh. One spring compresses more and I go on a wobbly LOL
Also this time of yea I don't bock that much coz I don't like it in the dark. When it's not hols I leave in the dark and get home in the dark. Has the winter solstice been?

I'm ashamed to say I've only used mine 10 or 11 times since I got them. I really enjoy it but the knee-bars kill the inside of my right leg. I find it really, really painful. Which is weird considering I have a high pain threshold. The proof of which is that I've been sent home from hospital twice with broken wrists without a cast, because the doctors said if they were broken I'd be in more pain. :rolleyes: Only to find out 2 weeks later that they were indeed broken. I hate hospitals!
Aaaanyway, I'm making it my new years resolution to use my bocks as often as possible. I think I'm gonna get some cuffs in the hope that they'll be more comfortable. I had loadsa fun on them at Halloween, scaring the kiddies, and it was fun trying sideflips with a crashmat. So this year (by this year I really mean 2009) I want to get reeeeally good on them! :)
Hmm... that might make a good thread actually. 'New Years Bocking Resolutions'
e.g. Learn to backflip, use them every day, learn new combo, etc. etc.

Wooo! Got my Bocks today at 6pm! Can already, just, walk on my own and do a jump of a couple of inches (while holding on :P) Hope to get started more tomorrow maybe, just maybe start fast walking or slow jogging :D. I can now so far say that I use them everyday :D

Brendan that sounds just like the pain I had when I first got mine
Simple answer get some cuffs they are so much better and you can offset the cuffs to change the ballance of the bocks to create equal pressure on both sides of your leg
Also check your bocks for straightness (you can adjust them with a mixture of realigning the washers outside the bearings and adjusting the side supports)
If you get to a meet that I'm at you canhave a go on mine and see the difference it can make

Thanks dude. That sounds great. :) I really enjoy it, but can't seem to ignore the pain for more than 20 minutes at a time. It really put me off. But I do seriously intend to get good on them this year. I was pretty pleased with my first attempts at flipping. So if I can bock in comfort, I'm sure I'll be on them all the time. :)
Let me know if you're ever in Birmingham. I'm working there til January 17th. Especially let me know if there's a gym meet so I won't kill myself getting used to them again. ;) Thanks for the advice.

Hi Brendan
Sadly I'm not much of a traveler and tend to stay down south (I get nose bleeds if I go to far north must be the altitude :haha:)
But we do have gym meets down here if your ever down south or we could meet up at next years CB and try to sort them then

Ok cool. :) Maybe I'll join the competition and try get some cuffs that way. :)
Hmm... I can't win with the best trick... maybe the most spectacular bail. ;D
