Now that I have got into Bristol UWE
I am incredibly keen on setting up a group or even just occasional meets
in the city centre or better places if people suggest( i don't know Bristol at all)
I will be moving into mah house early September and will have a week or 2 before lectures start
it will be fantastic if it does get some interest
because let's face it know body likes bocking by themselves
:P
cheers

Hi,
I'll keep an eye out while I'm on my travels round Bristol and let you know when I find somewhere.
In the bad weather I can book my local gym up again. They provided crash mats and high jump bar etc last time. The gym is about 30 mins drive from the centre of Bristol.

not allowed to have a car with me at UWE in my first year :/
and i supose all we need is a big open place in bristol somewhere

Not to many. Tiff may be about as her bf lives in Bristol. There may be one or two others. There is a bus that stops right outside the gym, but it's probably about an hours ride.
-
Parlby, I have seen your message on our guestbook. Of course you will be welcome to join us in Cardiff, not sure what it costs on the train though.
We'll probably have gym sessions twice a week come september.
-
unlucky, k-rock was looking to go bristol, but got offered somewhere else.
-
I didn't apply to Bristol lmao. Bedfordshire and Bourneouth were my only B unis haha
-
huh? Bristols PMSL
yeah ill sit in the corner for a bit then yeah?
-
PSML nope you're ok, I'll excuse you cos you're usually on point and awesome.
and i have 5 days of you coming up, I wonder who we're going with
-
theres names on the contract, look em up on the book, they will be mates with the last lot no doubt.
At least driving from dublin to belfast we will get to see a fair bit of the country this time, EXCITED
-
brilliant Locky , cheers
i look forward to it
hopefully will have new stilts by then
I don't think my projump-skyrunner hybrids can handle much more punishment
you've probably seen the snapped bracket pictures :/ lol
-
i have a spare set of skyrunners frames, you can have them if you wanna pay postage lol
-
If there are Cardiff meets, I may well drive over anyway Parlby, so could always pick you up on the way through.
Its only just over an hour for me all the way by car.
Graham
-
ah wicked i'll pay towards petrol as well if needed :)
-
nero i will actually have them please
if you have the brackets which hold the springs to the hooves
that would be awesome
i'll send you my address via email
cheers
parlby

Lol Parlby I can't believe you are leaving us to go to Bristol :P really won't be the same without you!!!!!!
DC
-
yeah you'll spend more time bocking and less time helping me rapair my stilts
and i'll still try adn form the bristol bockers if nero was serious about sending me the sky runner frames i should at least have 2 pairs of stilts to take to bristol with me :D
and i'll come down ever half term break :D
for example Halloween
we are wearing full length grim reaper costumes over the stilts :)
and going out on the prowl :P
-
I should be around a lot, boyfriend was in Clifton Down and is now in Westbury On Thyme. If it's in Cardiff I may have to ask Graham nicely for a lift & suchems. Or there's a train.
Hoping to get into UWE next year too, so hopefully I'll be there more often! :P
-
oh cool , sorry for late reply.
are you going this september?
or are you starting in 2011
will be awesome to have another bocker there
we will stand out less ..? hehe :Claugh:
-
Lol Parlby I can't believe you are leaving us to go to Bristol :P really won't be the same without you!!!!!!
DC
Yeah, we will all feel so much safer :P

Hi Al,
Following your request for bocking spots in the area, whilst it's not actually in Bristol Centre, they have just opened a big new Skate Park near me.
It's about 30 mins by car / an hour on the bus from Bristol, but only 10 mins walk from the gym we used. Would maybe be suitable for day out, couple of hours in the gym with the crash mats and high jump etc, then visit to this place to scare the skateboarders. Tee Hee. There are other places nearby too.
Only just opened this week so the problem might not be whether it suitable for bocking, but more like whether we can get space with all the skaters and bikers there.
See Pics. -

park looks pretty schweet :D
in saltash me and hammy (another RR) are hated by skaters in salt mill skate park for bocking round
there
one of them was like "ha it's pointless you can't do grab's or anything on those s**tty stilts"
so i went and did a double spring grab and a back scratcher.
that shut him up.
guess me and you are the founders of the BB's :D haha.
-
Skate park looks great, count us in on this :)
-
I'll wander down to the skate park over the next few days with stilts on, and see if I get bottled off straight away. lol
If I don't then I can look at booking something in September maybe.
When did you say you were going to be around Al?
-
Me and Al are looking to come up for a day or 2 over the next few weeks, probably crash in a hotel for the night, so if yo give us a dya or 2 you are free during late August ish, then we shall come up :)
-
I'm pretty free all of August, beginning of Sept, apart from 22nd Aug and 11th Sept when I'm off to Gigs.
Might be easier for you guys to just pick a day and let me know. I'm sure it will be fine.
Depending on dates, you might even be able to crash at mine if there's only the two of you. Im about 30 minsdrive from Bristol Centre.
-
DC when did we plan this lol?
haha but okay good idea
i move can move into mah house on the 18th of sept :/
but i'd quite like to come earlier to have alook around
hopefully will have 7 leagues by then :D
-

-

-
Hi Marcus,
I might be able to, but not sure yet. I'll let you know nearer the end of the week once I know how work is fixed.
Do you live in Bristol, or do you travel there? There maybe somewhere else closer to you.
Cheers
Graham
-
yh cool i wanna go there cuz i skate to i live in fishponds so i just get a bus to the city centre not far
-
we need to come to bristol too. That bocking spot looked great.
-
Hi Locky, It is quite good there, and there are some other spots within walking distance that we might not get kicked out of. lol
Would any of you guys fancy popping over this weekend if the weather stays good?
-
we've got a gym booked at 3.30 on sunday. You're welcome to come along though, you too marcus if you can get to cardiff.
-
I might well try and make this one, if you don't mind a visitor from England.
Marcus, when were you thinking of trying to meet up?
Graham.
-
i dont think its gunna happen im not verygood cant evan walk properly iv like alread broke my nose on a brick wall
-
Well if you did fancy coming over to Cardiff on Sunday to have a try, I could maybe pick you up on the way past?
The gym there would be a good place to learn. Plenty of people to help out and lots of crash mats too just in case.
-
hey marcus,
you ought to try and get down to cardiff on sunday
it will be my first meet too
and i've only been talking to some of the welsh bockers online and have
progressed a lil bit in a bit.
They will definatly get u confident in person.
hopefully see u there dude.
-
i wanted to i couldent get a lift
-
Marcus,
You may have missed my message below, but if you want I can give you a lift. I will drive through Bristol on my way.
Graham
-
that would be absolutly my dad said it would be fine but are you sure im not putting u out of your way too much and what tine and day plzz
-
The meet is 3.30 on Sunday, so I expect I would probably get you about 2.30 to be safe.
Ok, I'll send you a private message and my number, and we can sort it out where I can pick you up.
-
okay call
