If they dont sell them on here then try any local skate shop and maybe even somewhere like argos as they do helmets etc.

Bocking, Powerbocking or even projumping refers to the activity of someone using the jumping stilts.

Have a read of  the info card below  to familiarise yourself with general terms

Helmets are necessary. especially if you are new to bocking. But it really is your choice. I almost always wear one.

Why is Alexander Boeck's name spelt incorrectly on the info card?

On the original patent it's spelt Böck with the accent on the o - however to make it easier for younger readers I wrote it without the accent.

I'm assuming that the "Boeck" spelling comes into play as "ö = oe" or maybe the way it should sound!
