hey, shoe size does not matter, and neither does height really, you probably wanna get Pro-Jumps(make of stilts) costing £135
You need to look at the weight size if he is 13 stone you will want to get him Pro-Jump M90 stilts, i found it easier to order mine over the phone (01772792600).

Thank you!!
Its hard shopping for guys!! they always want something thats nearly impossible to get haha!!
Thanks again

shopping for women is harder :Claugh:
-
:D Men are easy, just find the most dangerous and wierdest thing you can find, or the most bloodiest game.... its simple, or maybe just take us to the pub :P
Women want all sorts, make up, shoes, hand bags, etc. the list goes on forever :P

Haha you would think with 11 dogs it would be mad enough in htis house but Noooooo lol!!!

Just wondering..
Do they do any special offers with the protection stuff?
Im now wondering how much this is all gunna costLOL!!
My mate said check ebay! but best to get it from the dealers? Right!
-
Avoid buying bocks from
ebay. You are likely to get something poor quality or badly used with no warrenty. Get projumps. They will last longer and save money in the long run.
Get pads from anywhere. Just not too cheap or they wont work too well.
-
Can so tell this is a girl lol!!
So what sorta protection is needed!!
I mean on the projump site, it has spin protector ect!!
Whats the main bits!!
:D
-
he main pads you should have are wrist gards any other is up to the person
i use wrists and knee(makes the bocks feel better on my doggy knee)
-
For a beginner I suggest bocks from the pro-jump website, and a set of wrist, elbow and knee protectors to be on the safe side :)
-
The knee/shin pads on the PJ website are great if you are using the kneebar ( I dont know the new name but what were the pit-dirts). Any quality wristies are fine and elbow if you want.
-
Wrists and Knees are an absolute minimum when learning in my opinion.
I still wear both everytime I go out and I've been bocking for over 3 years now
-
Ive been bocking 3-4 months, never warn them and never will :P
At least till i break my wrist

Agreed.

it's your choice, but i wouldnt boast about it. Doing so is not any bad for yourself but for people that read this.

I've been bocking over 3 years and in that time I've seen so many broken wrists and smashed knees that I never risk going out without pads.
-
yeah i recommend pads!!

Come on man, honestly just look at this photo and tell me your not bothered if that happens to you

You need to wear wristies at least!

Lol well im stupid, ill wear them if i break something :D
I know its idiotic but its not like i try crazy things, Although i was jumping from a 5 foot platform over my mate :P that was freaky :P
DC
-
hmm but it sounds fun :)
cant wait to get my PJ's eeeek gonna fall so much, hopefully should be tricking in no time :)
sorrryyy going off topic heree, honestly try not to break yourself falling thoughh i have heard some nasty stories.
R
-
you won't start falling over till you try really hard tricks (suprisingly not front flips or back flips) But stuff like OCS and Double back scratcher
DC
-
Well i can front flip on trampoline no problem, near perfect back flip too. Yeah i imagine bringing legs down to the right angle after double back scratcher may pose a few problems, haha.
The only way i dont land backflips is when i open from the tuck too early and my feet slip under me.

You will learn to keep your feet together and control them after a week or 2 on bocks
-
Thank god i found you guys!!
i was just looking at skater boys pads!!
but shall now spend sme more pennies on the lucky guy!! haha!!
He doesnt wear any protection taking out the huskies.. but this somehow, i think he will hurt him self..
-
the wrist pads that most of us use are skater wrist pads, mine was from a skate shop, and i am now on the lookout for a new set, worn them out ofter 3 years
-
if you really want to splash out on him get flexmaster wrist guards they are the best you can but about 40 pounds tho :Straddle5:
