OK folks I've gone and done it now I took my PJ's into work on monday thinking I would get more time on them
I work at the theatre where LotR is on well I got seen bouncing on the stage by the Brass and I have been Banned from using them in the theatre (not really a problem as there are loads of spots outside) Just thought the reason they gave me was funny not that Bocks were dangerous but wait for it
"With my past record I am DANGEROUS on them"
Well I spose they got that right ;D
Luckily my imediate guvnor is a great guy and has a good sence of humour (well he has to with me working for him) so he apologised and told them I was "eccentric" can't disagree with that either so all in all a normal day ;D
-
yep jason you need to come with warning signs attached to yourself ;D
-
;D I actually LOL when I read your post! It was one of them things that can only happen to you!
"With my past record I am DANGEROUS on them"
I bet your wife totally agrees! and I don't know anyone on this forum who will disagree
Haha
-
Thanks for your support folks ;)
"Dangerous Jason" does have a nice ring to it though ;D
Maybe I should move to Chile judging by their last vid I would fit in well ;D
-
jason you are funny
-
Magzzie, For once I think no one will disagree with you :D
-
I went to see it t'other day, enjoyed it, but bit to much dancing and singing more me, liked the special FX (being a techie) also thought the hydralic staging must be a brilliant place to bock? being able to raise it n such like, also seeing as you have a load of orcs running round it every night, can you be THAT much more dangerous? (bearing in mind its you jason :D)
-
lol Jason could only happen to you
and lol at Naz's comment
-
Thanks magzzie
Yep your right paul
Well chocl8 I do sort of have a track record at work some of them there remember the lifts not working for 3 weeks (long story and not really my fault :-[)
And the exploding roller shutter had both my guvnors take cover behind a thick wooden bench (it seemed like a good idea at the time)
Taking out an iron staicase with a roll of lino was good to (it was ment to stay)
And taking about 30 other cases into concideration I spose they have a point on the bright side I must be quite useful for them to put up with me ;D
-
yep i could neva disagree when i kinda agree. But if im told to stop bockin for a reason i cant see --wotchout im gonna put legalaid into un charted waters.
but JASON DID THE ORCS GIVE U THE 'ROGUES MARCH'?
-
Saddly Q the Orks weren't there at the time but when first met them and I showed them my wrist they looked at me like I was mad to still be bocking (I think me being old and fat helped ;))
Like you say though I agree with their reasons but I think they are worried I might break the theatre (I have to carry them outside and then get on ;D)
All kidding aside all the bockers I have met there are a good bunch of lads and have given me some good advice I have learnt a lot watching them teach each other
-
Jason I agree...
you much be really useful to them otherwise you would have been sent packing and the reason would have had to be "health & safety hazard"
Ps. I bet you have put their insurance premiums up quite a bit :D
-
Ah well, we do share something in common, i've been banned from school for being to dangerous.... ;D
-
Uni told me to stop wearing them in the uni buildings, as I may kill someone, I have never fell on anyone, and never will do!!
-
Well thats three of us maybe we shoud form a club and call ourselves "The Banned" ;)
And thanks Naz first unwavering support and now I'm a "Health and Saftey Risk" ;) ;D
-
My pleasure
Anytime :)
-
im banned from my school too cos off the broken door (wasnt my fault kindaish) can i join?
-
I've never been banned from anywhere yet... but I like the ring to "The Banned" can I join too :D
-
I must admit, I like the sound of "Being Banned" from somewhere as well, I've never been banned before.
Childish init, but kool ;D

As I tell you I'm getting my first grey hairs now hehe
-
Im banned from quite a few places :) .. about 10 different locations and buildings around the Southwest.. we travel around sometimes ::)
-
Ok every one If you haven't been banned from anywhere you are obviously banned from joining the Banned club so you ask to join and get banned so you are now banned from the club so you can of course join the Banned club right ;D
Got that ???
No ;D
Well it means you've all just joined (gonna be a big club ;D) so welcome one and all
I may have just starten the biggest bocking club in the world ;D accidentaly (typical of me now watch me brake it by accident)
-
haha
I wanna join too
Sounds like a great group :D
-
I was kick out of a swimming pool for stand at the bottom of the deeping pool :o ;D
-
reminds me of the time the EA bockers went to Cambridge and we went into the leisure centre to try use their vending machines we ended up having to have one person sitting on the floor picking up the money / sweets we kept dropping lol

-
7 and 9 have been called magical as well in history so it looks like your magical if your Odd ;D
-
I was banned from wearing them on work premises too. Silly HR manager said in a motherly tone "You're not wearing them down the stairs are you?". Which to me translated to "I'm suggesting you don't go down the stairs on them but I know you are going to do it anyway". Got a verbal warning and a disciplinary meeting too. I felt like such a rebel. :D
-
sounds like another member fufils the requirements to join "The Banned" :)
-
I am going for attempt number two, been banned fro musing them in uni, so just going to go in on them for fun!! ;D
-

-
Ive been banned from Norwich Train Station andshopping centre, the
1st because apparently its not safe at that hight, the mains power cables might arc and hit me (im an engineer, with trainers on the bottom of my bocks, IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN!!!!)
2nd because I might mark the marble floors in the shopping centre (I have trainers on the bottom, so I pointed to 5other people and asked if they were banned aswell, this didnt go down well!)
Good enough or do I need to try harder?
-

haha this is funny and dont ya think ur slipping a bit away from the actual topic of being degerous apart from the pulling each other to the floor bit ;D tht is dangerous :P
-
Being banned from somewhere's OK if .... the reasons valid ?
A lot of the time it's people not knowing what you are, but some times it what your doing !?
If you think they're wrong don't yell and moan at them ask them for their name and who you can complain to and explain that you feel their reason is not valid and your being picked on.
It may not get you in the place but if you explain why you think their wrong, and would like explain this to their boss maybe they'll have a rethink and allow you in.
If not aleast that matter would be cleared up :-\
Don't blow your top and get us all banned stay carm and maybe they'll not be there next time you go ;) ;D
I'm not one to say one thing and do another !?
I went into the Queensgate center to get something out of my car at the other end the the place and everything was fine, I walked through and no-one said a word :)
Come but ..... I'd got half way and had stopped for the lift when a Tubby in a yellow coat ( Reject copper :police: ) ran up yell I couldn't wear them ( He did know what the where ) in here ( odd I just did ) !
Turned out the others had been told to leave so there for we where all kicked out I had never been seen with the others ! I was walked to the exit !
Well has the one was walked to the door I said I want to complain to the people who's kicking me out ( his boss ) !
He radio the boss who came alone with three more 'friends' and we had a chat.
He had grouped us all has one ( at no time was I with the other inside ) and didn't want to know that my insurance covered me !?
last thing he said was " If you come in again anytime I'll ban you again "
I did my best but with people like that what else can you say but tell yourself and others what pr@ts they are there and say Fine I'll never shop there again ( Oh that's what I'm doing ;D )
-
I like the idea of this club, so the only requirement is you have to have previously being banned?
I did get banned from wearing my PJ's at the local spar... honest it wasn't my fault I didn't see the lady knelt on the floor restocking! ::)
-
If your in with a group of bockers and it's not a very big shop don't all dive in at once !
Maybe one go in and the others stay back if all well then when they come out two or three go.
Once the first been in and out how can they then say to the rest " You can't come in ! " 8)
( Unlease it was Jason going in frist he's bound to have fallen down or broken something ) ;D
-
Calling all of The BANNED all the other groups have a Sig so I thought we should have one
With a lot of help from Naz I got mine up any of you lot want one just ask (I don't know how but we'll sort it some how)
-
I''ll have one Jason and attach it with pride ;D
(You're too nice, I didn't do much at all, You did excellent work on the sig Jason well done!)
-
The first question Naz is there somewhere I can post it so everyone can download the pic and add their own name etc or do I send it to people as when asked
-
Jason, how long you think it will be till I get banned from PP hahhahaa
I would never come under 'banned' as I actually go shopping on my Bocks, the local Co-op let me in and shop with them on!!! :-\ ;D
-Carma (The Bocking Rocker)
-

EA group must get a prize !
Getting ban is one thing but a whole group at once :o
They even got me kick out and I was the other end to them at the time ! :o
-
I think the EA's were highly unlucky or they made a group effort to join The Banned lol
-
why how did the EA get themselves banned :P or didnt they and im getting the rong end of the stick coz its half past eleven ;D
-
long story short....crazy orange lady.
-
HAHA sounds funny :D hus the crazy orange lady :P
-
:D woohoo!! i`ve been banned, from a carvery pub type restaurant ,strange thing was i had already had a pint and i was at the bar getting another, i was quite thitsty, and the manageress came over to me to say "you can`t wear them in here"
so cos i`ve been brought up propper :laugh: i politly removed my hat and shades ;D
she didn`t see the funny side, then i was asked to leave cos "i`m not covered by insurance " i did ask her to have a look at the public liability insurance document cos use of stilts might be in the small print
-
haha well m8 u should of said there calapers and u need them to walk then you are coverd on the insurance coz ur "disabled" But ciz your banned from somwere u can join us!! ;D
-
HAHA sounds funny :D hus the crazy orange lady :P
well we are now banned from within a mile radius of p'boro...can't be bothered to relate story, but meh.... :)
-
how did you manage to get banned in p'boro bocking were u shudnt :P
-
I think a lot of people are not taking these bans serious enough. Ok, a shop can decide that you are not safe on their premises (some tescos let us in, others dont) but being banned from areas of a town is damn right ludicrous!
These bans need to be challenged, in a calm and accurate manner of course.
Exactly who is banning you? The police, the council, the sheep etc?
-
Sheep?? ???
-
Sheep?? ???
They ask if they could bock here and all the sheep answered " Barr barr .... barr " :(
-
Uncle Matts from Wales, sheep are important beings :)
I think if you have been banned from a whole area you do need to take it up with someone, Talk to Q as he challenged a ban & got in touch with his local councillor and got a positive reply. Don't know the specifics but he will be able to help you guys.
Also I saw the video of when some of the EA Bockers were asked to leave a shopping Center and it was a shame as they were behaving extremely well.
-
All I shall say about sheep, is that the last convicted 'person' was from Norwich (why do I have to be from around there!)
-
Its not only bad for the people who are banned but its bad for the whole sports image.
Imagine a newspaper doing an article on the sport. They call up the council to ask some questions and the only quote that gets published is "well we've had to ban them from the shopping centre already". Doesnt look good.
On a side note, I've got into one tescos by stretching the truth at the manager, saying that we've had written permission from the tescos group marketing directors assistant Gareth Evans and they tend to either let you in or tell you to take a run and jump.
Dealing with security guards can be an issue within shopping centres etc. I think as long as you are taking proper care (looking for wet patches and giving way to pedestrians) then they dont really have an argument but you need to keep it civil and not get carried away.

When I so kick out of Queen Gits ( Queens Gate ) the poor fat guard was red in the face and out of breath. I'd only walked about 200 yards inside or so !? Guards may think ( Well the one with brain ) that if you do something then they couldn't catch you !?
-
huzzah, i managed to remember my password, i got banned from pb centre at the pb meet, just wanted to say

Most Councils have Sports Development Officers who sit under the leisure part of the council. These are good people to Know as they (generally) want to support all kinds of sport.
Most are looking for ways to engage young people who do not want to do "traditional" sport
Also make contact with your County Sports Partnership. all are slightly different but should be helpfull.
Both these organisations will provide support, particularly the Councils.
Talking to the right people can get you much further forward than resistance.
This unfortunately does not include the £5.00 per hour "security" guards

Exactly who is banning you? The police, the council, the sheep etc?
In regard to the peterborough episode, were were banned by the city wardens, ie the people who stand around in orange jackets, not doing much and looking important. Not sure how much power they have, but they were linked in to the people who monitor the cctv?
The first time, in the main square, a lady warden told us that we couldn't "bounce aroound like lunatics", and really got quite shirty, saying we could be charged with assault if we hit someone? ??? then at the end she had the cheek to ask us where we got them from, being the helpful sole i am, i gave her a pro-jump info card :) So we left for other parts of the time, after having waited for ages for various latecomers.
After returning to look for DK who mysteriously disappeared ;) we were around for quite a while and went to McD's etc. people asked us to bounce and show us what we could do, so we did, but us knowing what we are doing , on bocks etc, we did a few tricks, the people watching obviously were not stupid enough to stand underneath us, so they couldn't get hit. No one said anything, so we left again.
After doing some crate jumping in a deserted alley, with quite a crowd i may add, all cheering carl on (he eventually made the crates :D) we continued to just around a corner where there was a full police van and 4/5 cops, at first we were quite nervous, but as we got talking, saying how great PJ's are, they said they had no problems with us bouncing, as long as we knew we were safe, so we spent nigh on an hour around the police van, with them watching, (and we didn't get hassled by idiots once!)
By then it was the end of the day, and apart from the lady warden, we had had no critisism. We went back to the main square where she warned us, and continued doing what we had been doing earlier, in fact we got a really good group photo, and were attracting quite a crowd, but still not being dangerous. However as i was talking to some people, the lady warden returned with a rather (may i say chubby) set of reinforcements, and i didn't talk to them but they spoke to trixter, and the gist of it was, we wern't allowed within a mile of the square ??? By then it was the end of the day and we had decided to leave, so it wasn't argued that much. We thought it was unfair, and having heard your arguments, it seems very unfair, i'm sure we will try and enquire as to what we can do to get the ban turned around however. any other comments/help?
-
I didnt actually see any footage of this meet, but going by the one where you guys were asked to leave the shopping center I know you guys are sensible and wouldn't have brought it on yourself.
I think the wardens were having an off day, If the police didn't have a problem (I may be wrong but aren't they higher up & have more power? ??? )I don't know why the wardens would.
I suggest talking to Q, he wrote to his councillor and got a nice reply back, I can't remember the specifics but I know it's something along the lines of they didn't see bockers as a hazard. Perhaps the EA's can do something similar.
I think its right to walk away from this and not to make a scene tbh as the last thing the sport needs is a bad image. The bad image may make them "Cooler" to have but wont be positive for the sport.
-
I'm sure we will, Any advice Q? :)
-
I am not sure if the wardens you are talking about are linked to the police or the council but a few thing apply here as far as I can tell
There are no laws in place regarding bocks and as they are human propeled (eg not motorized) they would come under the same heading as rollerskates etc (not bycicles as they are a vehicle) so unless you are on private ground (shopping centers, shops, car parks and even Trafalgar Sq when an event is on) you are not breaking any laws so it should only be an official that can move you on or ask you to leave a certain area (Police, council officer, and a few others that you are unlikely to meet)
If the area is private they can ask you to leave and even enforce it if you are (in their opinion) causing a disturbance of danger (both of which we could be classed as even when walking) but they cannot ban you from any distance from anywhere (only a court can do that)
The best bet would be to talk to the frienly police next time and ask their opinion and politely ask if they think any of your rights are being infringed and how the law stands on this matter then if you get a posative answer next time you run into the orange lady explain what the police have said and ask for them to be called to settle the dispute
But above all do not get irate or threatening in any way abide by what the police say and try to befriend them because if it happens to be a copper that you have chatted to that turns up he is going to see your side as well as hers
I don't know if anyone on here knows what sort of powers the local guardians have I know that the city angles in london have only the same powers that the average citizen has (you can make a citizens arrest if you see someone breaking the law but you can be taken to court if you injure them whilst doing so) you can also tell someone to desist from something that you think is dangerous but you are asking them and have no power to enforce it
It might be worth taking her name next time and then making a joint complaint against her for being over zelous and overstepping her powers once you make it official she will be less likely to bother you again as 10 or so people complaining about her won't make her bosses happy

Thought you might It's been said of me in the past ;D
-
saying we could be charged with assault if we hit someone?
This is a true statement. You could be prosecuted for something if this happened. But, no more than a cyclist if they rode into someone or a skateboarder losing control and his skateboard hitting someone in the head.
It doesnt sound as though your ban was issued in writing and therefore unless its private property, it was someone feeding you a bunch of BS in the hope it might deter you and keep you from coming back.
My advice is to find out who she works for and write them a REALLY NICE letter. Explain about the sport, how it is growing and how it attracts people and go into as much detail as possible about the safety precautions you guys take when there is a crowd (we can all help with this).
Ultimately as long as you are taking all reasonable precautions and not going running or bouncing through a crowd then there is very little they can do...but as Jason says, dont ever get into a heated argument with them. You'd be better off taking their details and walking away and dealing with it later.

erm what happens if your 'banning' gets overturned on appeal?
A security guard infront of Bournemouth Pier threatened me with an ASBO ( how cool is that hehe -theres banned and theres ASBO'd hehe).
But I complained to my councillor and the security company got knuckles slapped. Im mean wouldnt that get 1 'banned from th banned bockers'?
Oh been with a group who were asked to leave tescos im Dorchester --but permitted to purchase our muffins 1st.
Been refused entry to tesco express plymouth --but they love me at my local 1. I would have been banned from my local co-op but .. .Duty manager looked at hooves , kept looking up ( thinking --this guy gotta go) --then clocked my face and just said ' Hi Q' ( m8 and just knew Id just ignore him hehe)
Banned red dragon shopping centre cardiff asked ( skillfully and v politely- so I dont mind) west quay southampton and a pedestrian area in yeovil ( but not b4 the security guard promissed to close his eyes if jo showed him a flip!!--he just acting on a complaint he thought silly ( and prob the forty odd peeps that had watched us all)
-
Dispite what Jason say says the only reason I could have been put in this group is when another group was banned from the " Queer Git Center " and when I was walking back through it for the three time a fat guard told me we all had to leave ! Which could be said to be even illegal !
Infact I've been asked in to a number of shops ! There's a Chippie in Boston who even looks out for me :) .
I know this group is just a bit of fun but I took being kick out as not very funny. I fact I plan NEVER to spent a single penny there and adviod the area as much as I can. Note the name I call it !
I pride myself in not being banned I even wrote ways to act !?

well i think all the jj should be on there because we are banned from all the main highstreets in yeovil.
well got to many complaints for being a hazzard or something and got escourted away from the area.
the best bit was when the security gaurd that just escourted me away asked what i could do on them. I said you just banned me so how can I ???
he said he will close his eyes and pretend he didnt see. :D

I know you think this group's just a bit of fun but what your telling people is " Some people don't like us " which is a odd thing to boast about ??
It took me 5 months and I could have lost 1000's to prove that I was in no way to blame for a road crash.

i got banned today :Ccry: thanks to my local council they didnt even no what they were! but they still said that im not allowed in the town center with them on :Cno:aparetly there anti-social
-
aparetly there anti-social
Apparently your local council is a complete fail :P
-
send your local mp/council people a letter comparing the dangers of a sensible person on bocks, and the dangers of a mother, pushing a pram, with 2 other children and a load of shopping through the town centre, word it right (and hope the person isn't an old fogey) and it'll be fine
or just bock anyways and explain to anyone that says you can't do that that they overlook loads of people skating around there all the time (as all councils do)
-
1st off who is 'the council'? Where exactly/what type of enviroment were you bocking in?
Im not sure what the difference is between 'anti-social' and 'dangerous' if there is officially 1 atall. But if you were in say, a pedestrian shopping area and there were people comming and going from many directions, then there would be reasonable grounds for saying 'move along'.
I get on v well with council and officials and police in Bournemouth in general. Ive been asked to move on a few times from places at vv busy times, and I think by and large they were reasonable requests ( tho I have a deff quibble about 1).
However, I did have 1 bad run in and a threat of an ASBO. As a result I contacted my local councillor. I stated that it was suggested that 'I think you might be dangerous'. I pointed out that the this seemed an unreasonable to enforce or deside access to land which the council owned or controlled when they had a duty to provide safe access to all. I requested, and got, a risk assessment for bocking for bournemouth town centre and the sea front . result, i have a nice email saying we are no hazzard, appologising for the security guard and saying that he would be told off!
Insidently a week after the security guard moaned at me ( and before the accessment had even started) at exactly the same spot, a police car drove up and the cop stuck his head out of the window and shouted 'DO TRICKS DO TRICKS' there is simply no logic to it all.
But chuck down more of the facts if you could

the council is darlington council,it was 7;30pm they were wardens that told me skate boards etc were banned from the town centre since they referbed the town centrer they said that there are signs stating this apparently because of damage from people using the rails to slide on,but they have built a skate park a few miles away
-
well bocking isn't anything like skating, completely different set of dangers/etc
...and i've only seen people grind rails on bocks a few times, so they're idiots :D
-
Your on the list Wilbo and welcome to the Banned
Wardens are really council security guards (unless they are private ones) and have limited powers
If you were bouncing near lots of people it could be taken as anti social and they will have a go but if you are just walking through an area and they call the police so long as you wern't breaking any laws and remain calm and resonable the Police are more likely to do the warden for wasting their time
But when do we walk quietly :Claugh:
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:

Was recently banned from my local shopping Center despite it being an outdoor shopping center as i was "causing a scene" im not too worried though as its being knocked down soon to build a new one maybe i'll try again :scool:
-
Well,I'm almost there... :Cwink:
a while ago five POLICEMEN (not kidding! five!that's like :police: :police: :police: :police: :police: ) armed with maglites came knocking on my door, looking for " a tall suspicious,black wearing person"...
that was me half an hour before, on a late evening session of bocking...!
So keep my spot empty, boys.
Maybe we don't need a health plan that much,
but we can use a free legal councellor... :CGEEK:
The way I see it is like:if they ban bockers, they also should ban joggers & women (or drag queens )on high heels!
Remember:
As long as the town major & chief of police haven't voted in favour of an official rule that says "no bocking in the centre of town", NOBODY CAN TOUCH YOU...not even the police .
(Yes, local politics is another hobby of mine)
In fact if for instance the "town watchers" keep picking on you,you can take note of their names & put down a complaint titled MINORITY HARASSMENT....which you actually should do being a "rebel"... it's called:fighting them with their own weapons.
(too)nice boys finish LAST.

Now I have to ask the question :Claugh:
Were they looking for a Black Person who was Wearing (I was unaware that being Wearing was a crime now I will have to watch my step :Claugh:)
Or were they looking for a Person wearing Black
I take it you would like to join the Banned Jolly :Cbiggrin:

I was happily bouncing along down a pavement when a group of residents came out and had a go at me for "bouncing dangerously close to their cars so can I please find somewhere more sensible to do it". I pointed out to them that I was about 3m away from the cars, on a public pavement and "am not a prat" but they were having none of it and apparently had even had a meeting to discuss my antics a few days before!!
Can I call this a ban? :Cbiggrin:
-
Gosh that is crazy. Being me, I'd have asked for a copy of the minutes of said meeting :D

Arrgh the Fun Police strike again
This is the sort of thing that stops kids having sports days unless everyone is safe and everyone wins
Life is dangerous and the odds are that you will lose a lot more than you will win (Get used to it :Claugh: )
Yes it does count as a Ban mate I will put you on the list
Now the other side of it
If you had fallen awkwardly and crashed into one of their cars you would of course have paid for any and all damage and rented them a hire car while the damage was being repaired wouldn't you :Cbiggrin:
I do agree that they were probably being a bit to cautious but I would love to ban those double and triple buggys that brainless mothers scratch my car with and then complain that they can't get past
My Answer of only have one kid (or get rid of the other ones) goes down well :Claugh:
