you would slide. Rain is no good for bocking. Dont take any chances with it.

Even after the rain has gone, make sure the ground is dried properly and always be on the lookout for any wet patches or leaves.

Also in dry conditions, a change in surface can also be slippery. Gravel or some sand are pretty lethal.

Locky I remember seeing the Welsh Bockers flipping in the rain at the first CB  :Claugh: and I belive you were one of them  :Cbiggrin:

All kidding aside though Brett Locky advice is good until you have some experience and depending on the type of hoof or socks you have and your level of experience wet surfaces can be anything from "Lethal" to "very safe" but are always a danger

Also at this time of year watch out for leaves and moss as both will put you down quick

i personally dotn mind bockign in the wet, never have had a problem with it, so long as its not soaking, slightly damp is fine, anything more than that and youll find me on the trapoline instead :)

rain is a danger with everything that uses grip best thing is think of it as a car kind of way a car in the rain in theory can't drive as fast because the risk of slipping so they have to slow down bocking in the rain can be done but just like a car you'll have to slow down don't run as fast or at all and don't try and push too hard when bouncing.

and trampolining in the rain :P you'll get wet socks :P

It makes sense mate

And it's a quick way to wash your feet too  :Claugh:

So to sum up

On trampoline = no socks in wet
On Bocks  = Socks when it's wet  :Cbiggrin:
