EDIT: Due to Capital Bocking, this has been rescheduled for this Sunday.
Hi all,
Been a few weeks since I've been out, so thinking it would be nice to see some of you in Basingstoke this Sunday. :)
Eastrop park is a really good place to bock with lots of different things to jump on/over and some softer areas if you're just starting out.
Be really nice to see some of you there!
Details below:
Post code: RG21 4QE
Time: 12:30 - whenever
Let me know if you can attend in a reply to this thread.
Happy bocking! :PJ101John:

Sunday is Capital Bocking in Cardiff, get there and have the time of your life!
-
Hi Dave
I thought you were on holiday for some reason mate (I am getting old and stupid)
Clive and I are off to Cardiff for CB so can't make this one
Why not grab a tent and join us mate it is a really good area and there are so many things to do
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:

Hi Jason,
I totally forgot about capital bocking! Unfortunately we've got a night out planned with a load of friends in Basingstoke so can't really make it this year. :(
Have to put it in the diary for next time! Hope you all have an awesome weekend! Take lots of pictures and video :)
-
hi ya,
just to let you know me, my boyfriend and mate from work (Steve) will be coming along to your meet on Sunday.
I will send a few texts and see if anybody else can make it.
:Csmile:

So who is going to this?
Trying to decide if its worth driving down to this one :/
-
have to check with Dave for the guest list.
This is his meet.
-
Now what would be really funny is if Dave turns up at staines and Clive and me go to Basingstoke :Claugh:
Just a little confusion going on but looks like the sun will be shining on sunday
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Yeah i kinda need to know whats happening and where or else I'll just end up at sprogs house in the dark and thats not funny even for a minute.
-
Haha that would be good wouldn't it!
Locky - the people I know thy are going are:
Jason
Clive
Gemzie
Katy
Her boyfriend
Her work mate
My mate Ollie (new)
Mr mrs (new)
Me
So there are a few people going of varying skill levels so should be good if the weather holds out. :)
-
Hi Dave,
I would like to come along if you guys don't mind. (As long as I don't scare the others off) :Cconfused:
Going to Cardiff last weekend has got me back into the mood again, and want to get out and give it a real go while my knee is holding up. lol
:Csmile:
-
Fab it looks like it will be a substantial meet
I will bring a set of drift skates for anyone to try when we get bored with bocking :Cbiggrin:
Might need your skills as a crash test dummy in a few weeks Dave as I am building a Pogo stick and I'm useless on them :Claugh:
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Looks like this is going to be a awesome meet 2nd one davio and its getting biger :Straddle5:
-
I'll bring me slackline too, in case we get rain.
I know you wanted to give it a try didn't you Katy? Not sure if you ever got to give it a try or not.
:Csmile:
-
Well it looks like 4 of us are coming down but I'll confirm later tonight as everything is a bit up in the air at the moment.
-
What time do you guys think you'll be coming down Locky? The reason I ask is because its p**sing down atm, so will give you a weather update before you leave. Wouldn't want you to make the journey if it turns out to be a washout!
Jason, sounds like fun! You going for a spring or gas cylinders?
Spawnyb - definitely you're welcome to come along :) More the merrier!
If anyone needs my number just send me a PM.
-
Leaving around 10.30 and its looking more and more likely. Weather for tomorrow looks clear so I'm not too bothered.
-
Two Projump springs mate :Claugh:
Used ones that were rated at about 120 kg so it should be lively if you can bend them :Cbiggrin: Got the frame welded up and the bottom spring hangers on just got to make and possition the top spring hangers and weld the handle on should take me a couple of weeks to get it finished
Checked the weather and it looks good for tomorrow
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Yeah i kinda need to know whats happening and where or else I'll just end up at sprogs house in the dark and thats not funny even for a minute.
You know it's your favourite place!
I'm in. See you all tomorrow :Csmile:
-
Gosh we almost have a bocking community again.
Time for me and Carma to go at it. Fighting, that is.
-
Sun is shining, looks like its going to be a good day!
-
Gosh we almost have a bocking community again.
Time for me and Carma to go at it. Fighting, that is.
You love it Locky! *Slaps him about a bit*

What an absolute blast guys. We didn't leave until 8pm.
We all enjoyed it so much. Thanks for making us welcome and lets do it again some time. Shattered now lol
I'll try and get some video up tomorrow :)
-
Hi all,
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for coming down! Was really nice to meet all of you, look forward to seeing everyone at some more meets soon! Loving Gemzie's pics, as always.
Sorry I had to dash off, will stay at the next one much longer.
Highlights for me were seeing so many people in Basingstoke on stilts, Locky's backflip and Jason on the drift skates in the underpass.
Low point = Snapped spring.
Can't wait for the next one!
-
There is only one question to ask Dave
When is the next one :Claugh:
Gotta admit this is more like it used to be when I started (lots of loonies trying to be the first in an ambulance :Claugh: )
Lets keep this going
Jason :Hoofies2: :Claugh:

Its strange because when I first saw this thread I ran it by our guys last week and they were full of questions. Who's going, whats there, is it fun, how far is it, which way is up etc etc. and for a while there was not a lot of interest in going but I gently persuaded most of them and we all thoroughly enjoyed it which just goes to show that with the right attitude it really doesn't matter who's going or where it is - all you need is people who love bocking and some dry weather.
I think everyone really enjoyed this and it just goes to show that all it takes is someone like Dave to say its going to be at this location on this date. People will either come or they wont. But if nobody steps up and calls it then it definitely never happens.
-
Well iv got to say it awesome meet davio and locky think by you and the others coming down really shows us that bocking is what really makes a meet worth having thanks for making my sunday the one i missed in wales,we now have lots to work at to be any where near you guys... :Straddle5: :Cnotworthy:
-
Excellent day, realised just how much I've missed all you guys! Nice pics Gemmzie, really like some of your shots - Try bumping your exposure time to 1/1000 or shorter and you'll get rid of the motion blur on some :Csmile:
Mine are up here (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152072850000092.904786.884665091&type=1&l=b2564c0f3b), managed to avoid Jason landing on me at this meet!
-
Thanks yours are good too and il have to try that :Cbiggrin:
-
Had a brilliant day, with lots of old and new faces!
Thanks Dave for getting Basingstoke meets up and running again.
The 'Basingstoke bockers' chief organizer title now goes to you my friend :Cnotworthy: :CGEEK:
