Hi all
Yesterday there was a little debate going on about the Pro-Jump Manual. This topic comes up every now and then and...
... Ok I hear you - you told me it was RUBBISH :o
So tell me what you think needs changing and we'll see if we can get it sorted :)
-
Are you going to be re writing the whole thing yourself?
-
It is something I've wanted to do asap so feedback on this would be great!
-
i ent read it yet but cant be that bad can it :P
-
Its not to bad but things can be better ;)

Why not make a on-line ( forum manual ) !?
Make it read only ( unless a good idea comes up )
-
Thats a good idea but first we need to make the actual manual better then it can easily be made available to download
-
Maybe if you scaned the manual in and ask people to quote it with their idea's for changes ?
Maybe tricky for a week or two with lots of people sending in changes but that would slow down and we can stand back and say.
That idea was stupid and lets start again :o ;D
No ! We can say BETTER ! :)
One thing that's bugs my is why are some pictures upside down in the REPAIR MANUAL ?
-
The bit about sneakers being a British company you could put trainers
and im sure it called the free tool you get with them something obscured to but i cant remember and my manual had a date with the bin
-
Yeah I noticed the sneaker part too :P
-
well if it doesnt already (i never read manuals so i havent a clue) it deffinately needs A FAQ section
How to put them on.. how to adjust.. and beginers instructions.. like about taking your first steps..
Basically it might just need a rewrite becuase the layout may need tweeking..
-
and im sure it called the free tool you get with them something obscured to but i cant remember and my manual had a date with the bin
No ? Can't see where it says FREE TOOL but they do call them ALLEN screws and that's right :-\
Page 3 last sentence say's
.... plastic collar soas to fix ;D
-
A BOCKERS dictionary !? Commonly used slang words ?
ie.
Bock = Type of springed stilt
Ground crew = A non bocking helper
Tigger = A lone bocker
Pavement huger = normal people
White Brick = A pain LOL
-
Read brick: when youve fallen on the white brick on your head whilst juming very high?
-
Well Im guessing it has all been finalised now because I spoke to Naz and I think she had to finish it pretty quickly!
-
I did kinda get something a lot better than is currently available - I'll make an online version as soon as I get the chance but feedback is still welcome.
Only if you guys tell us what "bugs" you can we put it right ;)
-
on the first page it says pro-jumg instead of pro jump ;D
-
Page 2 " DO NOT use ... "
It's OK but like I've said most have do most of them, who's not used them in their houses for one !?
And the way it written makes out you can only use them on flat level hard ground in the open ( In other words airports runway ) ???
I know what it says below the box but ...
And that could be written better ?
Reads that if you're NOT bocking in those area's you'll never fall over ( Jason that's where your going wrong :D ) or run into someone ( ??? ) or an obstacle :-\
It should read :-
EXTREME CAUTION should be taken in these areas
-
I think it should be DO NOT USE simply becuase the manual essentially is a guide for newbies
It would be unsafe to use indoors on carpets - some are fairly slippy, in the manual it also says not to use on stairs etc I think thats fair also
If it was written in the manual "EXTREME CAUTION should be taken in these areas" then that would kind of be endorsing use on placing like stairs which would be dangerous for newbies.
-
Come on boys
We've got to leave Bock manufactures some of their A** covering paragraphs or someone will try to sue them ;D
After all Bocks are dangerous like any form of stilt walking Gravity poisoning is a constant problem but thats what makes them Fun ;)
-
Yeah Jason Totally right ;)

But aren't WE writing it ???
-
All the more reason for A** covering ;D
I like my house and would like to keep it ;)
