Hello everyone my names Steve im 21 and live in Milton Keynes, i bought me and my younger brother a set of Pro Jumps this morning, so will be bocking around tomorow trying to get my balance and practising getting up, after watching the vids it looks rather hard.
a quick question, is it possibel to stand still (with no support) on Boks?
-
Welcome. It isnt possible to stand still on bocks because of the small surface area of the hoof.
Getting up isnt easy. Lots of tutorials on here tho.
Where abouts are you from?
:spudT:

I live in Milton Keynes, got to admit i havent seen any one on Bocks in my area :'(

Also have a good read of the forum if you get a chance. You will find it is full of useful info. have you looked at the mods section? I would start there. there are a few mods most people see as essential

Was nice to meet you guys, was a good day think the weather was spot on and i feel 10 times more confident on my Pro Jumps, Have either of you checked up on that MK Bocks meet that guy was on about? I will defo be up for that.
P.S. I will bring my water bag along this time ;D
-
Was a very good day. And i too feel a lot more confident on my bocks.
Haven't yet spoken to him, but i will keep checking the other forum to see if he's on.
Should be good if we can get out with a lot more people.
P.S. I will bring my water bag along this time ;D
Yeah i think that would be a good idea :thumbs:
-
Keep me updated as im more than up for going around MK again would be even better in a massive group, even more people to learn off.
-
Definitely. We need the people from the other forum to come as well.
Should start trying to organise a meet in the near future.
See how many people would be prepared to turn up.
-
Yea i see your new thread, and have posted in it, i will be attending! think we should put links in our signatures to spread the word around, my younger brother will come along aswell, i will contack my other friends who have bocks and see if they are up for it
