Title: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Locky on December 26, 2006, 01:40:48 PM
If you're new to the forum then simply reply to this topic and tell us a bit about you, where you are etc, how old you are and how insane you are. Whatever you'd like to share really  :P

I've been here a while already and most of the regulars know me but for those who dont my name is Matt, I'm from Cardiff, South Wales and I am one of the oldies who refuses to grow up lol. I've had my PJ's about 2-3 months and my progress is slow but steady, though the amount of rain we've had has literally put a dampening on things  >:(

So, WHO ARE YOU?
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: English-tailor on December 27, 2006, 04:32:30 PM
I am Joshua, also one of the oldies (37 going on 38) and like Matt I also refuse to grow up. I have had mine about a month or so. I have only been out on them about 6 times but my confidence is growing everytime I go out on them( the heart pumping panic attacks have gone) over the next year i want to work my way up to the more extreme tricks.... but slowly slowly catchy monkey. I cut clothing patterns for a living so in the new year I will start to make outfits for me to wear on me PJ's, to grab a bit more attention  ;)

Im wilf and im 17 just got mine, there so much fun. Just got enough confidence to start running on them and i was supprised at how fast you can go!! it feels wrong when i havent got them on, even inside lol. Hoping to progress more and learn more tricks. Already had a few problems like white plastic spacers falling out and knocking the springs but its all ok i think.

If anyone lives around east anglia would be great to pick up stuff off someone who can really jump... Im in suffolk.

I really like this forum btw lots of very helpful and exciting people well done

Hi,  I'm Luke and I got these for Christmas. I'm due to go out with my friend for the first time in an hour but I think it's too wet >:(  Which annoys me. Oh wait, I just got a phone call from him now saying we have to call it off becasue it is too wet >:( :( >:( :( >:( :( >:( :( >:( :( >:( :( >:( :( >:( (seriously, just now).
And I'm in sheffield.

Post by: Locky on December 29, 2006, 01:18:58 PM
Luke, dont even think of going out when its wet. I got really annoyed when we had rain for about 10 days and then a dry day but it was still pretty damp outside and I had my first and only fall. I knew it was wet but I wanted to go on them so bad.

Imagine taking the risk and then injuring yourself and not being able to use them for weeks. It's not worth it.

Hellooo, I'm Laura, My fantastic boyfriend got me some (after seeing them years ago on a gadget show thing and wanting them soo much but being unable to find them) for Christmas, and they arrived thismorning and i wobbled round the kitchen a bit, but oh my god they were worth the wait!!!
Planning on getting him some at some point, and some friends are interested too, and we can all run about like mad people ^_^
Hurrah

But yes, I'm 18, live in Staffordshire (midlandsy area) and will be asking lots of stupid questions probably...

WHo's boots are those shoes? Hello there, I'm Ben, a spritely 28 and live in swansea I run a youth circus charity for young people with and without disabilities.

Had my PJ's since august this year, bought them especially for the city carnival  ;D Which involved running and bouncing for three hours solid, then after the parade was over i carried on bouncing to the live music for another 2 hours! These things were biult for reggae!! ;)

Since the rainy season is well and truly here i've started going to gymnastics, learning backflips and somersaults. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to start doing stupid stuff   :)

Happy Sproinging!!! 8 ;D

Howdy, my name is Neil.

I got my girlfriend (Ribena_warrior) a pair of pro-jumps for Christmas and I've never been so jealous of a present I bought for someone else. Now I've got my own pair which I got using her discount for being on this forum so we can both bock instead of me being the ground support. I think they're ace. The best thing I've ever bought, or at least on a par with my motorbike and snowboard.

Anyhows, I'm 22 years old and from Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire.

Hi Dan, welcome to the site. You're right about some pads. Wrist guards and helmet are absolutely essential and some elbow and knee pads would be a good choice too.

You're not too far from Bradford so perhaps you can make it to the gym there when we next have a get together (There is a big one next month that I'm going to post details of shortly).

Happy Bouncing!

Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Locky on March 13, 2007, 12:51:40 AM
The gym is where the projump display team train. Its full of matts and soft things and is great to learn but thats only half the story. The guys who are on the team are truly bocktastic. It doesnt matter what lever of ability you are at the guys have all been there and support you 110% of the way, even if you just jumped over a piece of paper lol.

I think everyone who has visited the gym never wants to leave!

Info on Doncaster is here:
http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=449.0

We basically need as many people on springs as possible. Ability is not an issue.

Post by: Bobro on March 13, 2007, 12:55:15 PM
hi there aimee... nice to see more girlys here... take it you have loosned the knee brace but not budging am i right?? if so i would just give it a 'technical' tap prefrably with a rubber mallet try to get both vertical bars at the same time... if not i aint got a clue what your talking about

either way welcome to the forum... hope you are well and good luck with the bouncing

Hey guys!!!!

Just got back in from dance training with some of my girlies - been doing 'normal' stilts - funny - after i get my ass on these ones dont think il ever be able to go back to the conventional stompers!!!  Thanks for all the advice and help! i am literally about to go for my first few steps :P

Doncaster sounds amazing - im determined to be at least BoUnCiNg by then so count me in if thats ok? :)

Also the gym in bradford, would it be possible to attend that in a few weeks for some tips and to watch the masters at work?

Wish me luck hehe!

Hi all, Im Quentin (or just 'Q') and I live in Bournemouth and have had my springs since 1 dec 2006.

Why did I get them ? Well a few weeks before by bike was stolen. Now I hadnt done any serious mountain biking for quite some time so couldnt really justify spending£500+ on a replacement. On the other hand buying and then handling a cheap job would just bug me.

So, whilst fighting over that little thaty little issue, I  spotted the Gruniad artical on powerisers. I just thought 'yay'. I had a pair within the week. Since then? Well, basically Im rubbish. But Im having the time of my life.

Ive been to meets locally (see below) as well as London and Bradford. In total Ive met nearly 40 other bockers and that looks set to nearly double next month when I go to a meet in Spain.

As for local meets. Well Im part of the www.jurassicjumpers.co.uk . A little group in the south of England. We have been holding regular meets since the beginning of the year. Initially these were monthly but with the improved weather and the demand they seem to be getting more regular.

So far we have met up in Dorchester, Bournemouth and Poole. With Portsmouth on Easter Sunday and back to Dorchester on 13th April ( more details in the meets section) and Weymouth in May already lined up. We are also filming a little bit for Meridian Tonite ( the local early evening news magazine program) on Tuesday 10th April. Thats also when we get our Tee shirts!YAY. We have also got ourselves into a couple of local newspapers.

Athoul has already sorted out a gym in Sherbourne in the north west of our 'area' and today I hope to organise a 2nd in Southampton for the south.

So, in summary. if you live in the area, are thinking of going to 1 of the colleges in the area later in the year or planning to visit ( just for a meet or on hols) please please do connact me or the others.

ps  we are also well up for wondering about, so dont be suprised if a car load of southern softees turn up on your doorstep  ;D

Hi guys.

I've had a pair of M70s for about two months now and I'm pretty hooked.  I can do all the basic stuff and I'm now trying to improve the jumping and getting my technique ready to attempt a few flips (on crash mats of course ;)

I'm after a new pair but I'm not quite sure what weight band to get :(

Might be easiest for you and your friends to get them from Germany or Austria. There are big communities of jumpers in those countries too. I dont know if you or any of your friends speak german though. There is a big german site similar to this  but I fear you will have to search for it unless someone here knows it , sorry i dont.

LOL..... It was deliberately spelt in that way, I dropped the H to sound more southern and welcoming to Colin. I am glad you found ONE word to pick up on but that's all it was and it wasn't over used ;)

Anyone else got anything nasty?

I'm lucky I seem to bounce well during accidents this is my first broken bone in 47 years (not counting hairline fractures like both lower legs and hitting my hand with a hammer daily ( I'm a carpenter ))

It's surviving I'm good at I once rolled a reliant supervan 3 ( as in only fools and horses ) onto its roof spun it three times and then it turned back upright and hit a lamppost and then an embankment
Broke the body in half, bent the chassis, riped the engin out of it and about 80kg of various tool went over my head and out the front window

I walked away from that one with a few scratches just lucky I guess  ;D

Hi

I got my powerisers a couple of days ago and they are awesome!

I'm Ben, 20, and studying at the University of York.  People there have got far too used to me unicycling around every day so I got my pro-jumps to give them something else to look at.      :)

I spend most of my time doing all things juggling related, mostly fire spinning.  It's hard to chose what I prefer, firestaff or powerbocking, so I'm going to have to combine the two to make the ultimate show.

So glad I got pjs instead of stilts...

It's difficult to say without actually seeing you adam but generally I think the average sized 11 yr old would be too small for the adult model. I think 12 or 13 is the youngest we have in our group.

some1 else will tell u which model to buy ( im rubbish at that stuff). Pads I think you can get here, or just go to a local sk8 shop.

Send a message to 'becky'  she has contact with about 40 essex bockers at her last count. And a good few are in Chelmsford. A number of them are actively looking for gyms in the county too.

Seriously there are loads of them around you

Ste you need to be a little more precise with your weight. If you are 80 kg then you might be ok on a pair of 90's but anything heavier and I would deffo say 100's.

Hey everyone.

My name is Ed and I'm 16 years old and i'm new to the forum. Thought I would take up a sport to keep myself from sitting around for the whole of the summer like I normally do  ::) (or just hurt myself like normal)

Havn't actually got my PJs yet but will have them in the next week or so as there has been a problem with them not having the 70kg black ones in stock.

Also I live in the north of Scotland, roughly 30 miles from Inverness in a town called Tain. Don't know of anyone around my area with them but might find someone.

Hello all!

I'm Dave, 28 and living in Guildford. I think I first saw PJ style boots on Tomorrows World about 5 years ago and thought they looked fantastic. A couple of days ago I randomly saw an advert for PJ boots online, came to the site and now I'm very, very tempted to get a pair!

Expect lots of newbie questions from me over the next few days :)

There are a few in pompy who gather in 2's and 3's regularly.  But of big meets this is the 4th . The 1st was on Easter Sunday.

Pompy is a great place to bounce and pretty easy for peeps in the south to get to. So Ive no doubt there will be 1 or 2 more this summer.

This pompy meet is our 1st 'all day' event. If you pm ill send u  mobile number. Peeps can just 'phone in and join us wherever we are in the city. Look it up on the 'where to/meets  section  ;D

Seriously dont worry about ability. I know some1 who is getting her stilts any hour now. She may well turn up as will the projump team101 display boys ( they just happen to live in pompy). So ability just isnt an issue - ability and commitment to have fun  is what we are looking for ;D

It's a great forum, I've picked up lots of info just browsing.

I live out near Heathrow and have had my bouncy shoes for a few months (although I'm so lazy I've only been out a couple of times  :-[)

I'm not very good yet, a bit like Bambi on rollerskates

You can buy projump springs from here (http://www.pro-jump.co.uk/pp/ProJump-Spare-Parts/Adult-ProJump-Parts/Adult-Spring.html).  I'd go for the M90 springs if I were you.

Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: BDeyes on July 24, 2007, 02:46:30 PM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour

"(Le) Parkour (sometimes abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement[1] (English: the art of displacement) is generally an urban acrobatic activity of French origin, the aim of which is to move from point A to point B as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body.[2][3] It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment — from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls — parkour can be practiced in both rural and urban areas. Male parkour practitioners are recognized as traceurs and female as traceuses."

taken from wikipedia, the link will provide the full article.

and origami doesn't suck, thats just you're opinion!!

Now there's a circus act to die for one of you doing origami on bocks and the other doing macrami on bocks

Move over Swe-bounce "Q and BDeyes" are coming

And due to my age and lack of fittness if I take up Parkour I'll have to buy a tank ( I can't jump over buildings so I'll go throught them ) quick , efficient and the shortest point from A to B (a straight line with tracks and a gun)  ;) ;D

I did come very close to buying a 120ft boat off of the navy 30ft beam 2 decks and a flying bridge £3500 with one working 27lt diesel and one in bits (someone said if I rearmed it and stood it off New Zealand my navy would be bigger than there's at the time  ;D)

Hey i'm Drezta (or will in the real world), i'm 16, a yellow belt in Kali/ Docey paris Escreama, i have an unhealthy addiction to Stumble Upon (how i found out about Bocking) and Mosh pits at metal concerts.

I got my PoweriZers on Tuesday last week and have only got a couple hours of practice since due to rain (and laziness) i can walk and jog but not jump yet.
i joined  the forum yesterday but i didn't see this thread on the day lol.
I live and bock in Plymouth and have lots of free time so i'm always up for a local meet (i may start going farther afield when i have money again ;D)

Howdy Bockin/PoweriZing/PoweriSing/Whatever folk!

I'm Phill, and have had my Powerizers for a week now; learning to bounce near Hull, East Yorkshire, and eventually in Southampton, Hampshire.

Currently trying to work out how to get up without using a wall, and waiting for my Protective pads to arrive so that I can go at a bit more of a pace and not have to worry about grinding my wrists into stumps and snapping my legs in half.

I'd quite like to get involved with the online community here, as it seems a good way to learn which ways to do what (well,a side from trying and failing on your own)

So, you may see me around!

I'm a student at the Univeristy there, and I'm back towards the end of September, defintiely some time before the 28th.   But yeah, I'll try and keep on the message boards, but if not I can PM someone my MSN and we can try for a hook-up at some point.

Will warn you now, 've only just started (just had my first spill today in fact...first time on them with full protection too.... ) so I'm not up to doing much other than some jogging and attempts at bouncing.

Hi,
i'm BlackStorm (aka joe) i live in london (dulwich to be exact (no i'm not a spoilt rich kid otherwise I'd already have some bocks)) and i'm hoping to get into this sport as soon as i have money to buy a pair. i'm also fairly good at making films (search dulwich studios on youtube) so once i do get some expect to see some cool powerbocking films: i'm thinking some slo-mo jumps could be quite good on a screen! lol. i've already posted a few things on the forum and was extremly pleased to find that everyone is so nice and helpful. i thought if i researched the sport a bit more i might be put off but it's just wanted to make me get involved even more!

hope to be on bocks soon!

Even though I don't have any Bocks the moment I've been reading all the advice and tips so now I'll be ready when I do get some!! It's all very useful ^_^

Oh! And I'm from Buckingham which, if you don't know where it is which is probably the case, it's near Milton Keynes.. or Silverstone (most people know where, or at least have heard of there)   ;)

Well I'm Joe (19) live just out side Dorchester , Dorset.
I just got my powerizers about a week ago as i needed a new challenge.
I already mastered the diabolo, unicycle and mountain boarding to a rather high standered, and now Ive moved onto powerizers hoping they will be a challenge.
Im also a bit of a adrenalin junky to top it off.

So I'll be checking out the forum some more this afternoon as i got to go to work.
I'm a Farmer if you was wondering so plenty of room for me to run round and practice :P

well chow for now

Hi there joe and welcome.

There is another bocker in Dorchester ( but he has just dislocated his knee). 1 in Blandford and 2 in Sherbourne. Plus more of us down on the coast in Poole and Bournemouth.

We even have a lil club the 'Jurassic Jumpers'. If you are interested and free, we have a 'gym meet' in Bournemouth on SUnday 12-1300 ( pus bits outside b4 and possibly after). More details about that in the'meets' section.

Morning All!

I'm Merv, 28, from Weston-super-Mare!
I've had my PJ's for a few months now, I can bottom out my springs, so waiting for these new Elites to be available, and to go up a weight limit!
My girlfriend also has a pair, and we're both waiting for an opportunity to do a tumbling course to learn somersaults in safety!

It's still a bit damp today, otherwise, I'd be out there!
I like to wear a tuxedo print t-shirt as I bounce past traffic, makes people look twice!

Have a bouncing good day!

P.S. One of my friends ordered a pair, and within half an hour of having them, he'd broken his leg very badly, so take care people! :o

Bit furthur east you missed a greaty meet in Dorchester yesterday ( 6 of us). 1 of the peeps on that is going to have a look around there to see if he can get a gym.

Sorry to here about ya mates leg - could you tell us how he did it ( as somat to avoid ).

Gotta say I somehow doubt it was a tuxT that makes peeps look twice ;D

Post by: araya213 on October 14, 2007, 12:48:40 PM
Weston is ok for bokking ( bokking does sound kinda rude doesn't it?), but the weather is kinda rubbish, and a lot of the pavements are pretty awful. The seafront is nice and wide and about a mile long, so plenty of space! I'm still getting used to people asking me questions about them, and always trying to get me to do backflips or 'jump really high', or 'go really fast'.  I tend to practice at my local juggling club, plenty of height, but not much space!

Now, my mate who broke his leg, managed to break his femur, and really badly (it splintered and nearly came out of his leg).  He was learning to run, tripped himself over with his springs, and went down in a kind of sitting position with his legs tucked under him, instead of putting out his hands to spread the impact out forwards.  He also twisted a bit, as he has a back problem, and wanted to avoid his back. So he ended up with the force of the fall on his leg, with a twist to it as well.  The hospital still think he may have had a weak bone, but we won't know for sure until it heals. I held his hand and listened to him scream for an hour before the ambulance took him away. So please don't break limbs around me, I've had enough of it already!

So please practice falling over on soft ground, and always spread out the impact!

Cheers Naz, he's doing quite well, he's allowed to start walking and driving again (is that a good thing?!).

He did sell his springs as soon as he was back home.  I tested them before they went to their new owner, and I could only conclude it was user error!

    Hola, i am Oliver (or Bertie, story is-when i was young my parents called me Bertie and now i fell like a change so i am telling everyone to call me Oliver, but i don't mind which. My name is Oliver bertie....)
    I am from England, cambridge and live near hilly from the marshes and chocl8 and i am not spanish, i just like to start opening sentances with hola for some reason.
    My hobbies include atm flying, computer games, bb shooting (guns that i fire at my freinds and so on) and paint balling. I got into flying as my dad is a commercial pilot (captain) for british airways on the 747 400. I hope to get my private pilots license soon (trying to go solo on my 16th, unlikly as the weather is not usually on my side). I fly a piper robin atm.
    My birthday is on the 26th of november but i got my bocks on monday, (i am not suppose to know if i have them but seeing as i ordered them and know where all of the hiding places are in my house, they were easy to find) It is a big bummer  :'( as i am not allowed on them till my birthday so every day i sneak in and look in wonder at them (i know what you are thinking.....sad). I am super keen to go on these and want to know how to do flips and stuff like that very soon. I am into extreme sports such as skiing, skydiving, want to start diving and the like.
    hoping to come on outings very soon (was pleading mum if i could go to this east anglia meet at a gym in cambridge before my brithday but the answer was a solid no
   just thought i would like to brag about is i got my GCSE a year early in maths (but only got an A, 6 marks out of 500 off an A*)
    ermm that is about it and i have got this final day to do most of my geography coursework (for tomorrow) so i will have to keep it short  :P
   oh ye i don't bat for the other team (if you catch my drift ;D, but surprisingly a few people in my year alone have already come out the closet)

Hello all.

I'm Ian, or Lurch, not bothered which. I'm 24, and living on the Isle of Wight. I'm into body mods ie: piercings, tats, scarifications, etc... I heen unicycling and bmxing for about 13 years, have recently started fire eating, fire breathing, fakir, stilt walking and bocking with the Ryde Extreme Performers. Needless to say, being a bmxer, my bocks will be modded very soon, as I can't leave anything as it is, it has to be ''mine''.

That's about it really, ask anything you want to know.

T'ra.

lol, I was in The News a fair few years ago, for unicycling on my paper round, and the sunday bags may have helped develop my balance. I dont think it'l be too hard to do, the main problem i see is with keeping the ''foot'' of the stilts on the pedals. There's people who ride stilt bikes, so basicly it can be done. Lol, might try tomorrow in the garden on my PJ's.

you'd need a very big unicycle to if u want to use the stilts with them.

Just some 2 ft stilts will do for a tester, with a longer seat tube on the uni.

I bumped into another of you Ryde guys last Saturday in Portsmouth. Im one of the Jurassic Jumpers --we bounce around Dorset and Hampshire mainly.

Yeah, I'll be up for that sometime. Not been on the island long, so i'm still finding my feet, and only in the past month found the Ryde Extremes.

As for unicycling on my PJ's, I crashed, lol. got my feet on the pedals ok, went to ride off and when it was too late I noticed my knees wouldn't bend because of the PJ's, lol. Will be looking for a longer seat post soon, and in the meantime i'll lower the knee pad on the PJ's and see how it goes.

Hi all!

I'm Matt (36), got my PJs two days ago and I've already been accused of voyeurism (I can't help it if I'm at 1st floor height on some of the houses in my village when I'm on them!), being "bloody stupid" and not acting my age. Well that's fine by me if it's this much fun  ::)

I've got to say I was really surprised at how quickly you can get used to even walking on these things let alone running and jumping etc. I haven't fallen off yet but there's plenty of time  ;D
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Bbmthbloke on November 09, 2007, 03:26:57 PM

Welcome "O" mad one, you'll fit in here just fine  ;D

I'm 41 on the outside & 12 on the inside, not acting my age comes naturally to me, does to you by the sounds of it.

PJs aren't for growing up on there for growning down on (or falling down on).  I haven't had as much fun as this for years  :D

And by the way, THE FALL will come, so make sure you're padded, especially wrist guard  :o

Keep on bocking

Hey,
I am Zen and I'm just starting out.
My new legs will be here tomorrow, and I hope to get bouncing asap.
Though, with snow on the ground, I may be stuck inside for a time :(
(snow bocking?)

btw, I first discovered Powerbocking by seeing the Zurich Bank commercial.

Welcome to the forum :)

Check out the modification section and you find the various types of feet - not quite sure they will work on snow (maybe the nail one  (http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=779.0) might though  ;)

hi there  JJ and welcome. I think you are the 1st person I know of interested in these silly things in NM.  Tho there are  fair few in Texas now.The best guy on here you need to speak to is XS ( pm him). He is up in Rhode Island. But basically knows everything States side. He's coordinated meets in Washington DC and NYC with Boston Mass comming up ( I believe something is being organised NC way nearer Christmas but Im not certain and I fear it will not help you too much).

He also knows which products are availble in the USA and which are not . You may find you do research only to find that due to patent laws they cant be sold your way. Equally there is one model of poweriZer sod in the states that is not available in the UK. 

So basically chat to XS ( welll nicks his name)

Lol, when it snowed here early this year, I put some snow in a plastic tub, made a face in it, named it and put it's ''birth date'' on the tub, and chucked it in the freezer. The idea was to have my own bit of snow all year round, but mums freezer died and Vince the snowcube was lost after a good 6 months. lol.

Hi all, first post so...

My name is Dan and I'm 25 from Bournemouth. I have seen a few people using these in the area (including a Reindeer yesterday in Bournemouth square, anyone on here?). I have always been a fan of them and decided I want a pair today.

So I'm going to do a bit more reading (and probably asking questions) on the forum and then take the plunge tomorrow and order a pair. Hopefully the next day delivery won't dissapoint and by wednesday/thursday I will be taking my first steps.

Cheers,

Dan

Hey everyone =)

I'm adam! [Shorty to most though ^^] .. I'm 17 and have had my pro jumps for about a  week now! =) .. (Supposed to be for christmas, but i just couldn't wait ^^)

Been out on them almost everynight and getting quite confident =) .. The springs are starting to wear in too now [Or maybe it's just my techniques getting better haha!] Had a few falls but nothing serious, mainly funny actually haha =)

I did think i'd broken my knee at one point though! .. slipped on some mud / leaves on the path and when it slid back onto the concrete it stopped instantly and sort've bent my knee the wrong way >( .. still hurts abit but nothing that'll stop me from Jumping! ;]

Anybody else in the Grimsby Area Got any pro jumps? =D

Essay =]
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: webmaster on December 20, 2007, 01:25:09 AM
hey Adam

Welcome to the forum

With a pair of pro-jumps no one will be calling you shorty anymore!

Glad your having fun on them, be careful with and make sure you got at least some wristguards and knee pads before you go out Bocking!

I cant think of anyone top of my head near Grimsby but pop your self on the Pro-Jump map and check if there is anyone near you on there :)

Good luck!

Hi,
I'm a bit of a noob. Has my projumps since xmas. Can walk about and stuff but thats it. I checked out the forum over the last few days and thought I would introduce myself.

I'm 16, live in a little village near Norwich. Are there many other people from norfolk about. I know of the EA bockers but i'm not sure how many members they have. Anyway. I am kinda circus orientated I do diablo, poi, devilsticks ect. I'm not great at it. Have done a few performances and stuff with our group. I mainly do the random stuff in the group like dancing with glowsticks and stuff but anyhoo... stilts seemed like the next step for me.

Anyway Hi!

Nothing wrong with that. I think more of my closest friends are gay than straight lol. What is funny tho is that one or two of my straight freinds are camper than the gay ones.

No. The gay mates I have now were "straight" when I first knew them and as the friendships got better they told me. Sooo. Its just how it panned out. Not delberate lol. Most of the guys are taken now. lol

Hehe  ;D I think Spud is getting worried!Magzzie isn’t really gay but the rest of the EA’s call him that with Endearment (I think!) Now Bbmthbloke really is gay and is on the look out for someone special (I'm sure!) but I think your friends if they are your age they may be too young for him maybe :) but Bbmthbloke is probably the youngest at heart on here.

Dont get me started on 'age' hehe  u know that only leads to trouble  tho at   mo ive been off work with a damaged nerve in my spine 4 a month  i have to sleep proped up on my sofa ( where i am now) in constant ( now quite light) pain    so at mo  i feel  VVVVVVV Old

Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Spud on January 01, 2008, 02:11:40 AM
Na not worried lol. Some are older than me some the same. Some going out with each other. Whatever age all going out with some one (finally). And it is not unsuall for there to be large age gaps in age. And really I dont care. I'm young and if I dont care if people are gay or not that must be a good thing. It should be no more important than what colour eyes you have. I am not saying that anybody has  a problem with gay people or anything but I think this is the attitude people with have with all people. No lables.

btw sorry magzzie

Hi all.

Got mine for Christmas but they've been sitting in the house since mid November with strict instructions from the boss not to touch them before Xmas day  >:( . I've been getting used to them in the kitchen and hall but haven't been outside yet cos of the wet floor  (and cos I'm scared of getting laughed at in the park by the big kids (12-14 YOs) - did I mention that I'm another oldie, not saying how old but it's not far off 50  :o )

Other interests - Scouts (Wontolla is my name as a Cub Leader), motor cycling, playing the bagpipes (hope to do it on the stilts one day), hillwalking.

I'm in St Ives, Cambridgeshire.

Hi Spud... Yeah, met stiff'n'stilted a few times but they wouldn't let me have a go. Saw the Network bocking at Live07 and just had to have some - they arrived three days later  :D but stashed behind imaginary bars  ;)

Saw the refertences to EA bockers around the forum too. I'll post my pin and then have a look around to see who's where.

Post by: Spud on January 01, 2008, 08:33:05 PM
Shame they wouldnt let you have ago. Could of gotten yourself the special necker. I may be wrong but cubs only go on taster days dont they? Is that what you have been on? Because (as I am sure that you really do know) if you were there would of been problems with insurance. Unfortuanatly I am now 16 so had to leave guides and I am too busy now to be a young leader.

anyway hope to see you at a meet sometime.

Hi Becky
yes it was stiff and stilted, they were the ones that put me onto this site. they have been really helpful. I also got their special necker ..the orange and yellow one.. for walking on their really tall stilts. :laugh:

There was a new member few days ago that got sent to this forum by stiff and stilted  :) and she got a special necker too
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Spud on January 01, 2008, 10:19:41 PM
I never got one. Only got onto the smaller peg stlts. My best mate did. he session was before mine. Totally gutted as I collected neckers. Got about 30 of them all by swapping.
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Wontolla on January 01, 2008, 11:31:14 PM

It's cos I was there as a leader and they always had Scouts & Guides waiting for a go. Fair enough.
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Spud on January 01, 2008, 11:35:24 PM
Shame really. One year they had peg stilts that anybody could use without a ticket, camjam I think. That was great. Just give em a good peggin lol. I remember goin on a shoppin trip to sainsburys runnin roit and beggin all of the civilians. good times. Well most of them

hi charlie   hey start trickin  now ---if u get it wrong   just means getting up off the floor ;D

where abouts r u?
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Spud on January 03, 2008, 12:27:37 AM
Yea but gettin up of the floor can hurt and breaks and sprains take ages to heal and sumtimes dont at all. I fell of my micro scooter like 3 months ago and my ankle is still bad and not healed after I tore some ligaments. Dont like to mention age but I am young and it took ages sooo i would just be careful so you can keep on ya bocks.

But with the right safty precautions all should be well.

Falls
trying to run & fell, well protected so not hurt.

Spent 5 mins trying to get up & was eventually helped up by a kind mum with her children. Not hurt but slightly embarrassed.

tried the technique but not quite there yet
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Spud on January 03, 2008, 01:03:24 AM
Sounds embarrasing. I cant do it either. when i fell i just got out of them and skulked back into the house... but of course put them on and went straight out again lol.
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Charlie B on January 03, 2008, 01:07:29 AM

Must admit was thinking about undoing them as I stopped rolling in the middle of the road.

need to work on strengthening quads to get up easier

Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Spud on January 03, 2008, 11:37:53 AM
Getting up is really hard. I dont mind falling. Just as long as my neighbors dont watch lol. Actually. The postman is worse for that - 9 times out of 10 when i make an a*** of myself he is watching lol.

Postman is in my bad books. My skid lid came this morning and too early. was still in bed and now have to go bike 4 miles to pick it up. But I have to wait till 3pm. On the plus side gives me time to do my coursework lol.
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Wontolla on January 03, 2008, 12:06:28 PM
Hi Charlie B

Don't worry too much. I Fell off mine yesterday - first time outside and had been jogging up and down then decided to go for it, after about 50 metres something went wrong and I christened my wristies at full pelt. Didn't hurt as much as I expected and no-one around to see... bonus  ::) Couldn't get up again though so had to take them off and walk back to the car to inspect the damage to the stilts - just a few scr***es where I had attempted to get up.
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!

Hello all! I'm Ben (24) from Wrexham in North Wales.  Currently in my final year of a Computing and IT degree, part-time sales/merchandiser for Maplin Electronics in Wrexham, a doorlad at weekends and a mentor during the week. I've got to say though, i'm so glad there seems to be plenty of people around my age (and above!!) on here.
I'm a big kid at heart and been skate boarding and roller blading for as long as i can remember.  I got a bit bored a started doing parcour but there's no meets with people my age around here, and then I came across some vids of people bokking on youtube and thought.........that's defo for me!! so i'm putting my order in and looking forward to some insanity.  I doubt it'll take me long to become acustomed to the jumpers as i've spent a few years doing gymnastics and parcour.  Look forward to any meets near to me, but willing to travel the country if needs be!

thanks for the welcome, nice to hear plenty of people round wales.  my birthday towards end of august so depending on the time i may be either too drunk to stand, let alone bok about or i'll be at the meet.  Circus type stuff, well, my family believe it or not used to be a travelling circus but that folded in the early 70's.  I'm into all sorts involving acrobatics mainly.  I like taking things out of the gym and applying them to the street.

I've got a bit of a problem if anyone can help.  I've tried 3 times today to order some M90's but the site keeps crashing out and stalling - anyone else experiencing this?  Any help would be great as i really want to get started.

That sounds awesome. Would love to see you doing your circus sometime. It facinates me. See I do the circus things but not pmuch good at it. Pretend to be tho.

And also our own forum: www.JurassicJumpers.co.uk/forum

Would be great to hear from you.

Hi everyone I'm Rache and I'm in Norwich, I just got a set of Skyrunners for an absolute steal (unwanted Xmas present) so I thought I'd join up as I need proper instruction how on earth to use them safely!  Glad to see there is an East Anglian group of you guys about so hope to meet up soon.

I work at Norwich Uni and I also run a small business www.fuzzbutt.co.uk.  My other job is Imperial Sandtrooper TD-2441 of the UK Garrison:

(http://www.tk2441.co.uk/weathering/t21c.jpg)

I have a full set of Sandtrooper armour and attend events all over the country to raise money for children's charities.  I'm currently building a Ghostbuster and a Biker Scout too.  So far thru attending events I've met The Prime Minister, Mark Hamill, numerous stars of Sci-fi TV and movies, and I've had my photo in national newspapers and TIME magazine.  This year I'm also venturing into Power kiting and then Kite surfing.  I'm also going to the Burning Man festival in Nevada in September, can't WAIT!!!!  Would be great to take the Skyrunners to get around on but I fear the desert dust would wreck them :-S

I will browse the forum later and suck up some knowledge, so please excuse if I ask dumb noob questions  :-[ :-[

Hey Guys, am new here (really? never!)  Me and my girlfriend bought one another PJs for each others birthdays this year.   Thought i would join the forum and see if i couldn't meet some of you.   I had my second go today, still not fallen off or broken anything, so reckon i'm doing pretty well so far!   Really enjoying it too.   Would be interested to meet anybody nearby who could help us get better at this, we are both in Grantham, about half an hour East of Nottingham.   

How do you ever learn to do the more adventurous things, like the flips?  It seems to me that unless you get it right the first time you try it you are going to end up with a broken neck!

Anyhow nice to be here, hope to meet some of you soon,

Stik

Hiya Stik

Welcome to the forum, Nice move joining up - get the girlfriend on here too   :thumbs:

The more "adventurous" stuff comes with practice but it could be as soon as a couple of months before your flipping or take 5,6,7,8  :nana: However you will have plenty of fun along the way  :)

Make sure you add yourself to the Pro-Jump map so you can spot people nearby and they can spot you and look out :)

Have fun & if you need any advise just ask.

Welcome aboard Stik,
Firstly you need to fall over asap, it's the only way you will get over the fear of falling and it rarely is painful. There is SXNutta in Leicester during Uni term times and Becky over in Coventry and the Gillyberts in Derby. So there are quite a few peeps in your vicinty. Look out for midland meets, I think there is one coming up soon but you will have to check the meets section of the forum for that. Learning flips is not as scary as it seems. If you have any kind of gymnastics or trampolining experience it will be all the more easier. Probably the nearest gym to you for bocking is in Bradford unless the EAB's have sorted a gym out. If you are prepared to travel, and it really is worth it, then try and get to a JJ's or essex powerbockers gym meet. You will learn so much and get loads of encouragement. Better still have a word with Becky she may get a midlands gym meet organised.
Good luck and have fun

Hi JayJay and welcome and happy birthday for last Sat. There is a reasonable chance that was paulself ( tho there are one or 2 othersd in the town). He works in woolworths.

He is also a member of the EABockers the club for your part of the world. There is a section for them in the clubs section so might be an idea to have a lil look there.

But basically you are surrounded by loads of others,  Spud , magzie, trixster, chocol8, carl green..... the list goes on . You get the idea --ya not alone ;D

Easiest thing to do, is hook an EABockers thread and say Hi on that. As soon as peeps get home and log on they will contact you. Yep looks like they have a meet planned for Norwich on the 23rd

Hi Alt and welcome. If you want some practise  this weekend ---you just might be in the right part of the world.

Just down the road there is a Gym meet in Bournemouth on Sunday ( if I can book the hall OK tomorrow). Lots of company and nice big gymnastic mats to fall on --if you really need feel the need.

Ability?  Dont worry There will be 3-4 who got stilts christmas day and prob a couple more since. Oh and one or 2 who can flip. You will also not be the oldest --by a long way  check out the 'jurrasicjumpers' board

[youtube=425,350]yDtOlgI3Jdo[/youtube]

And so I ordered some for myself this morning!

I think I need a little more practice before trying a flip though!

It's just a shame that they only deliver to the address your card is registered at... (normally I'd get stuff delivered to work) - I'll have to trek down to the post office to pick em up.

but even thereit isnt that simple. Yep rule is , as you get better, you 'go up' and get stiffer springs.  But Manni, a member of the 7 league display team, who can do back flip after back flip, is still on the same pair of raptors I saw him put on 4 1st time last march

Hey.
I'm James and I'm 14. I live near Nottingham and my Bocks are coming tomorrow ;D Never Bocked before... so should be interesting.
Discovered new substance to wrap springs with- Racing bike Handlebar tape, doesn't seem much different to hockey tape, and   
is probably more expensive but... Halfords nearer than JJB Sports and I cant wait to go on them.

Hey, I'm Brendan (aka, B/NeoNinja/Neo/Ninja...hey you! etc.)

I like martial arts, Parkour, free-running, tricking, gymnastics, snow-sports, and as of two days ago... Pro-Jumping! ;) I got some for my Birthday. It was a huge surprise since I never asked for any, but I'm extatic to have some. ;D It took me about 2mins to start walking, jumping, then hopping on them... but I don't think I'll try flips until my wrist gets better (broke it in a motor-bike crash).

I currently live in Cannock (near Stafford and Tamworth) but I used to live in Norwich. Shame I didn't know about this when I lived there! :rolleyes:

I look forward to meeting some people as soon as the weather gets better. :) Til then, I think I'll just train on them in the gym. :) See'ya around.  :Straddle5:

We dual paraglide and I paramotor all over the place, competing or doing distances. My eldest daughter has just got her pair of er kangeroo shoes and is loving them in a manic bouncy way, I see her going far! We will just go for the workout, fun, lots of padding option and see how long we last. Im an upholsterer so i will cushion my ass. Im 48 and Clare is 39 I think. detail detail bah! broke my ankle a few yrs back and leg exercise is very difficult when it gives me jip so Im hoping for low impact leg work that will be SO much fun I will die happy after half an hour, ok 10 mins.

Welcome to the forum N & C, sounds like you will be our latest addition to "families that bock" :) It's great do see families taking bocking up together. If you need any advise before you take the plunge and buy projumps just give me a shout.

Neil I had my ankle smashed ( You name it I had everything but have it ripped off . And I did nearly lose it )) in a motor bike crash !
I sometimes limp, looks funny when I limp holding my stilts people think I've fallen over.  :biggrin:

When you wear a bock the ankle tightly str***ed in  and the spring really helps walking. I find it's better than walking . Next time I'm at the doctor I may see is I can claim it as a a walking aid so shop will have to let me in on them !? LOL

Hi People, I'm Stu from Pembrokeshire in Wales. I'm 28 and a very big kid, love to have fun and this seems like a good place to be. I have never seen anyone in Pembrokeshire on these Powerbocking Stilts. Was watching the TV tonight and saw some people having great fun on them. I came straight onto the internet, started typing and came across PRO-JUMP. Have just ordered some PJ's online and can't wait til they arrive  :) Have I done the right thing ??? Am I crazy to have bought some without even trying before I buy ??? I've seen a few posts from people who live in Swansea, but is there anyone in Pembrokeshire who does this ?? Is there anything I should know or do before I get on my new PJ's, any advice or help would be great.
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Dark Knight on April 02, 2008, 11:24:40 PM
Welcome to the forum.  :)
You've ordered a pair already ?
Have you got the right weight because you should go a little higher than your own weight ?
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Spud on April 02, 2008, 11:28:32 PM
Wow..It's great you saw the peice on the TV and want to get involved!!

They are a whole bunch of bockers in wales...the group is called welsh power bockers.
their part of the forum is here http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?board=56.0 (http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?board=56.0)
have a word with them and keep an eye out for meets. Although I am not sure how active they are on this forum..Somebody will help you out here.

Dont forget about capital bocking too. it is being held in cardiff this year so yes you are the right place to be.
http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=961.0 (http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=961.0)

It's fine to buy before you try.. I am not sure you can try before you buy in this country ???

Things to get sorted before you start.. have you got the right weight springs. Poeple sometimes rush to get them and dont know that they even have springs for different weights and that you should get them at least 10kg over your weight.

Next thing is have you got protection? wrist guards are totally essential and the knee and elbow pads too.

Only other advise is to go through the whole of the mods section. Essential mods in my eyes being taping the springs and tire socks. i really recomend you tape your springs before you start as they are easily damaged.

After all that! HAVE FUN!!!  :banana: :banana: :banana:

Hi People, I'm Stu from Pembrokeshire in Wales. I'm 28 and a very big kid, love to have fun and this seems like a good place to be. I have never seen anyone in Pembrokeshire on these Powerbocking Stilts. Was watching the TV tonight and saw some people having great fun on them. I came straight onto the internet, started typing and came across PRO-JUMP. Have just ordered some PJ's online and can't wait til they arrive  :) Have I done the right thing ??? Am I crazy to have bought some without even trying before I buy ??? I've seen a few posts from people who live in Swansea, but is there anyone in Pembrokeshire who does this ?? Is there anything I should know or do before I get on my new PJ's, any advice or help would be great.

Thats great to hear!
Welcome to the forum and make sure you get in touch with the Welshbockers  :thumbs:

Well, hopefully I've chosen the right ones. I read everything it said on the instructions for buyers and have ordered PJ's 10Kg above my weight. Fingers crossed.  Thanks for everybodies welcome messages. Hope they arrive here in the next couple of days, as I can't wait to get them on!!

Hey guys, I'm Joe from Dartford just south of London. I'm 18 and just got my bocks today. All those vids on youtube make standing up look a lot easier than it actually was, ended up wedging myself between 2 walls and putint the bocks on in mid air. Anyone in the local area who bocks? Closest on the mapwas Gravesend, it'd just be useful to get some tips from the masters. Off to scouts soon so see ya all around hopefully :D

Welcome to the forum Joe,

London bockers include Jelly, Jason, Clive so give them a quick pm and theres the invicter bockers in Kent!

Dont worry you will get the hang of it pretty quick  :thumbs:
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Spud on April 03, 2008, 07:06:06 PM
Welcome Joe  :spudT:

When I first got my bocks I looked on youtube. Some of those vids are scary..people make it look so easy however with a lot of practice it starts to fall into place. For me something always seems impossible. First jumping, then doing tricks ect. I am only just learning tricks. I dont practice much and that is the key to the sport.

Not everybody on the forum is on the map but I think the closest group to you would be the invicta's and the other guys naz said. They are a good bunch to be with.  Anyway..somebody near by or from down that kinda way should say hi and give you more info.

A bit of advise...Read through the forum. To get your bocks on you are best of sitting on a wall or a wheelie bin. That works well for me  :thumbs: but still give the forum a good read. Make sure you have the "essental" mods done before you get going and get padded up too. wrist guards and knee pads are essental.

All I can say now is HAVE FUN!!  :banana: :banana: :banana:

Walking down tricky !?
The problem we all have is the spring hight mean it hit the steps so you have to walk down backward or sideways ( a better way ).

Hi, and sorry for my rudeness, I started asking questions before introducing myself. Where are my manners!!! :o

I am Carlos, back to Spain, my home country after almost eight years living in the UK.
I am 37 but you will forgive me, hopefully, if I don't start appologizing for my age. This is a beautiful sport to start at any age, and I am commited to learn it.
I am pretty short, 162cm on a good day, yes, I stink at measuring in foot and inches. My partner things I also stink at singing.
Since I watched the Zurich ads on TV I got obsesed with the tilts, so now I have mine.
Thanks for being there, it feels good to be part of a community.
With my stilts I spend longer on the floor, but I enjoy the heights quite a lot.
I hope this is just enough for a brief intro. You will get more of me soon. Sure. :thumbs:

Hey carlos,
You are fine :) Just nice to know a bit about you  :thumbs:

Your age is fine. Actually not even close to being the oldest  :biggrin: All ages welcome lol

Glad the invicta bockers inspired you to get some (they were the people on the advert) anyhoo...

Welcome to the forum and the community... It is a good community I am proud to be part of it. Lovely bunch on here that will help you if you need it.

You seem like a bit of a laugh. Will fit in perfectly  :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: we are all a bit bonkers.

Happy bocking

How Do,

My Names Mike and I've just turned 30 hurrah.

I live in the mighty Notlob. Near Manchester, UK.

I bought my Risers after having a go on some at Burning Man last year. Awesome - the event and the risers and Gustaf who let me have a go on them.

Since then I have been out on them a couple of times. Not tried any jumps or trix, I mostly just try and stay upright.


Peace and Love

Mike

Looking forward to getting down to Capital Bocking, and also trying to find fellow Scottish Bockers, cheers ;D

Yeah like you said, great fun, I was doing well until my mate asked me to race him (him being on foot), I was feeling c*cky after just getting to the running stage that afternoon, so off we went, about 100 meters later and I'm flying through the air after tripping over my feet (had yet to learn that you need to lift your legs higher before bringing them forward to compensate for the bounce), I was wearing pads but not being used to them I didn't think to land on them which would probably have been painless, instead i went with my insticts and rolled into a ball, fell on my side and broke a rib :D  bugger!

i had a similar fall a while ago, trying to go as fst as possible then caught the springs together. i was doing about 20mph and went into a breakfall/slide.

luckily I was wearing a protection top as sold by projump, it took the hit on my back. The t shirt lookedf like I had been shot with a shot gun but I walked away with nothing hurt or broken.

Hi!
Just ordered a pair of Pro-Jumps last night after a couple of weeks of browsing this board and watching bocking vids on youtube and fantasising about doing the same stuff!  :)
Can't wait for them to arrive so I can get started on them - I'm hoping Saturday counts as a working day and I'll get them tomorrow, otherwise I guess it will be Monday evening that i'll be staggering around the local park like a fool. ;)

As far as I can tell I'm the first geordie bocker on here - but anyone want to correct me I'd be keen on meeting up and getting some tips!

Anyway, nice to meet you all!

Welcome Munki!
It will unfortunatly be monday you get your bocks :( but that gives you all weekend to get some stuff for essential mods like tape for the springs and a tire to make some tire socks out of. Both of those are pretty important  :thumbs:

Only other thing is be safe  :thumbs: a bit of safety gear is essential (wristguards)

 :haha: And that was spud's guide to prolonging the life you yourself and your bocks  :thumbs:

Be safe, have fun and dont get to crazy with excitment this weekend and if you like get somebody to film you staggering about at the park  :biggrin: We always like a laugh   :nana:

Hey, thanks for the welcome!
I've already got a big roll of black tape sitting around (don't ask why) so I'll get them all nicely taped up before I head out.  :tape: I think I'm going to follow DK's suggestion about clingfilming them first, so I can preserve the shiny newness a bit! :D

Safety-wise I ordered the knee and elbow pads and the wristguards too so hopefully won't cripple myself too badly when i inevitably go flying... which I will try and get filmed, if my friend's not laughing too much to hold cam steady :)

Hehe, October 2009 is a bit of a wait to meet up with a fellow bocker, Hilly! :) But hope you do enjoy 'boro if you go there. Uni Bocking group sounds like a pretty cool idea.

Hi All,

Ordered my stilt-jumpy things on Sunday and taken the day off work today waiting for them to arrive.

Spending my day hanging out the window of my flat looking for delivery vans  :-\

I see that the site in Preston is shut today cos of stocktaking, hope this don't interfere with my delivery.

Anyways, looking forward to bouncin like tigger and being 8 feet tall  ;D

I live in Portsmouth and have seen a few people bouncing around.

PS. Yes I have ordered safety stuff. Will buy a hardhat soon if I can find one that don't make me look like a pot-holer...

Welcome to the forum, I don't think your order will be affected by the closure today  as far as I'm aware packages were still being dispatched yesterday.

DHL can deliver upto about 6pm so fingers crossed you'll have them sometime before that today.

Hi, I'm pretty new.

From northern ireland, needed something to do some leg muscles with to balance out all my torso work. Plus bocking is incredibly fun, I've had them a few weeks and can get up from falling, run, and walk quite capably. I stood still for like 4 seconds the other day, heh.

Already had a picture taken for the local newspaper of my friend and I walking down the street in our bocks.

Just call me Pi or something.

It's near Wolverhampton, which is near Birmingham if you haven't heard of it. It's the biggest village in the U.K I think as well. I just went out in public for the first time on by Pro-Jumps; it's like being famous, the amount of stares you get  :laugh:

Hi, I'm Will. Live in Torbay. Had my bocks for prolly about a month now but because of bad weather I've not been out on them loads. I've had to bock inside quite a bit. I work in very posh hotel and was lucky enough to be able to bock in the fine dining restaurant after service (hee hee)

I've learnt pretty fast so far. I had no problems balancing when I first put my bocks on and so I was able to start walking/running unaided straight away.

Hopefully gonna start my dream job as cabin crew  :Dark_Knight: (don't laugh!) at the end of the year so I'll be taking my bocks all around the world with me!

Hello! I am Gary, I currently live in Cambridge, Cambridgshire. I am here for University, and when I am not studying or working I am back in my home town of Basildon, Essex.

Which I have noticed quite a few people are from....

Anywho, I recently bought a pair of PoweriZers and as such am hoping to get into the sport and meet others who do it too, in Cambridge and Basildon.

Someone let me know if there is a meet near Cambridge city centre, as I can't travel far due to work and university work. However! I am prepared to travel a fair bit in the holidays for some bocking :D

 :banghead:Hey people I am 25 and live in Hereford right on the border between England and Wales, I have had my Pj's for about 3 months now and used them all the time when I first got them and got a cold so did not about a week ago got back on them and now I will jump around town last night I was jumping up and down the stairs at our courthouse, it's a bit embarassing though purely cos i think I am the only one in Hereford with a pair so go on my own I must look like a right loner but bock! it hey.
I was big in to the mountain boarding scene but then got married and we had three kids which is an amazing exchange but obviously then needed to be at hand a bit more so Pj's in the street at the front of my house is great and arranging times to go for a drive to find new places with new obsticles is cool but again my mate comes but walks and watches trying to get them to buy a pair but waste there money on other stuff.[/

Erm,

Hi all, I'm Mark, otherwise known as Fenners, got my pro jumps as a very unexpected, but very appreciated present in August.

I finally got all the safety gear, but the weather south of Manchester is not the best as of late.

I'm 32, and loving them, though I might have cause to join the Banned Bockers, as the safety guy at work said I'm not allowed to wear them in the office again after I was trying to show everyone how easy it was to walk / wear them on a lunchtime.

Having read a few posts I'm pretty sure I'm a Tigger, it appears no-one in Macclesfield has ever been seen wearing them other than me and I'm gaining some kinda infamy (though I can't jump or anything yet, just walk and mostly run).

Nice to see there's plenty of other Bockers out there.

M. or should that be F.

We are a nice close friendly group and always happen to find more bockers.
Hope your find a fellow bocker soon being a Tigger isn't nice  :-\
Tiggers end up not getting pushed and stop trying new things.
After a year I've now got a bocker living only 20 miles away  :banana:

Thanks Dark Knight,

My friends now think I've now got the most dangerous way of injuring myself(depsite my protestations) though before I'd got my PJ's  I've managed the following:
Tooth crown 1 (black ice slide at school)
Tooth crown 2 (face hitting the bottom of a swimming pool)
Fracture (green stick) of the coccyx (black ice incident)
Broken collar bone (in 2 places) with torn ligaments in my shoulder (all from non-contact touch rugby, go figure :))
Broken bone in hand (mountain biking, tree incident)
Broken bone in hand (same one again, tripped up a kerb)

suffice to say despite my friends amusement I think I've never been safer, well at least I have the full protective gear, just want a gym meet near me so I can get better.

Hopefully some nearby's will get in contact.

Fenners.

I'm Kat.  I guess that I'm old by your standards - 42 at the next winter solstice - but I really don't feel like I'm old. 

I live in the suburbs of Pgh, PA USA.  I saw jumping stilts at my wholesale supplier and had to get a pair.  Then I had to sell them. (www.xtremejumpingstilts.com)  If you want to give helpful feedback to my website please feel free.   I will take whatever you have to say very seriously. (I will begin blogging on that site next week.)

I am not on this forum to sell.  I am here to learn more about the sport and learn more about what I can do.

I am looking for tips and to connect with others. 

I have been using jumping stilts for a month.  I am very comfortable walking, running and going up and down hills.  I am really bad at getting up after I fall down.  It's hard to practice that because I don't like the falling down part.

I am off to explore more of this forum.

its cos the 50kgs ones are kids and are only in pink,

Welcome  :thumbs:
The fact you can do flips on your feet already will help a lot, take care tho, its a little different.

There's a group in kent called the invicta bockers. They have been a bit quiet lately but I think they might have a bocker friendly gym. Thats the best place to learn flips if you can.

They is tonnes of useful info on this forum so have a read through. Check out the mods section too. Taping your springs and tire socks are really useful mods.

If you're new to the forum then simply reply to this topic and tell us a bit about you, where you are etc, how old you are and how insane you are. Whatever you'd like to share really  :P

I've been here a while already and most of the regulars know me but for those who dont my name is Matt, I'm from Cardiff, South Wales and I am one of the oldies who refuses to grow up lol. I've had my PJ's about 2-3 months and my progress is slow but steady, though the amount of rain we've had has literally put a dampening on things  >:(

So, WHO ARE YOU?

Hi People

My Name is Craig im 24 years old and live just outside Birmingham in a town called Oldbury.   my Bocks should be here 2morro and i cant wait to get out on them!   im a member of the scout association as an explorer leader and climbing / abseiling instructor

Any other Bockers in my area would love to meet up!

Welcome to the forum CJ

There's a group in Birmingham known as Sky High so keep an eye out for their meets & give Nero a shout as he mostly organises the meets there.

Also theres lots going on for members of the Scouts association so make sure you check out the Bocking Scouts group for any potential meets and get on Becky's mailing list too :thumbs:
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: PINHEAD69 on January 19, 2009, 09:22:59 AM
yo cj welcome to abnormality
yup sky high generally have a meet a week, but not for the last 3 month or so, there are quite alot of members too now
so you will have plenty to bock with, better with a few of you....
make sure you have pads etc, most of all wrist palm protection a must
although falling almost doesnt hurt, your wrists and palm take alot of the breaking force...
ok, ive done my bit ;-)
ps,   you may find with team sky high, a cricket box is also required muhahahahahahahahahaha

Hi, I'm Archie, I'm at Sudbury, Suffolk,
I'm 14, but had my bocks a few years, but keep on getting back into them, then stopping again. I'd like to start using them for good again, In my spare time I like to do animations, 3d design, drawing, and just being out 'n' about, also i play guitar in a band, and I like to say I play flute.

Got referred here by a friend, carl green, And hoping to get to know quite a few people!

my names benny, im 23, live in south london.
had my pj's little ova a year, can do a variety of grabs and kicks, can 360, 180 etc
havent attempted a flip yet coz i have no indoor gym to use, but im gettin vexed watchin every1 else do em wen i no i can!!!!
I'm pretty fit and athletic, got a trampoline out back, which i can front and backflip on, comfortabley. i can get sum really good height on it!!!
i'm into parkour aswell, Free running, im not amazingly brilliant, but im definatley a risk taker, i say parkour but it borders more towards a "jackass style", in which i mean, ill walk past summit in the street and say to a mate "yea i can make that" and ill go and try it whilst they whip out their mobby! lol
i love to watch any xtreme sport, you name it i'll watch it, bmx, sk8, snowmobiles, moto x, skateboardin, wall climb, snowboard/ski, rally cross, b.a.s.e jumpin, downhill mountain bikin ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! lol

Welcome to the forum  :thumbs: Good advice..check out the mods section, tape up your springs and think about making some tire socks :) as for learning just get on them as much as you can! As DK said, meets are the best place to learn so if you let us know where roughly you are we might be able to hook you up with some local bockers :)

Hi Everyone.

Thought Id introduce myself. My name is Bex. I work as a motion graphic designer in hertfordshire. (Anyone doing any meets in hertfordshire?? IM me)

I mostly want some bocks so i can get in shape and still have fun at the same time. Im sick to death of having to do lenghs at the swimming baths or my attempted jogging which only happens about once every 6 months. 

I've been pondering on getting some bocks for about 6 months now, and I think now is the time, Its my birthday next week and my fiance says that he'll buy me some.  :Cbiggrin:

Now its just a case of what brand from where kind of thing.

Im really hyped right now about the whole thing. But I know itll be a couple of weeks before I get any.  :Cmad:  Oh well guess ill have to be patient!

nice to meet all yous!

I'm a new member here too. I was told there's some real nice people on this forum.
Jason lives just south of London and he is part a group in that area.
Many bockers will travel many miles to meets, you may be lucky to find other bockers near by otherwise you may have to travel 20-30 miles to a local meet.

Hey sammy,

Welcome to the forum and the EAs :) If you want to try some bocks out (again?) we are at the gym next sunday letting people have a go.

Have you booked your place for lincoln?

 :spudT:

EDIT: I actually have no idea what we are doing at the gym. I am not sure if it is a come and try day or an event where we just hand out leaflets. Maybe another EA can confirm this but it is not a normal EA meet.

I'm to old for this but my daughters have being nagging me to buy them some for their birthdays. Katie and Alice been going to gymnastics for around eight years and have won medals. How safe are these things has anyone been badly hurt? And are the any girls or is it just boys? Are there trained coaches to teach for this? Sorry if I sound overly concerned but as a single mum I worry about my girls.
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: toddy on April 11, 2009, 09:44:12 AM
hi
i am toddy a part of the kent group.
these are really safe as long as you wear the correct protection, the minium is wrist gaurds, i wear wrist and knee pads, some people wear helmets etc but it is all down to personal prefrence, and as to hurting your self, unless you start to do some of the very big tricks it is not very common.
as to boy's and girls, the admin( webmaster(naz)) and spud are both girls who bock, and there is quite a few in the kent group and in most groups there are some girls.
and as for trained coaches there is not any but most of the experienced bockers will and can teach new people well, to walk, run, bounce and then the tricks come later.

hope this helps, and i do teach people in the kent area if they want me to.

Hello Bingo,
                At the last Gymfest there were some young girls, I'm really bad with ages but I would say around 15ish maybe younger (maybe older?) Teenagers anyway. If you post where you're from maybe you could attend one of the gym meets we have at various places around the country and this may put your mind at ease. Also they are as safe as houses as long as you wear adequate protection and don't try anything daft.

Thanks you lads for replyings to my quistions. When their father had them last they meet a big man on a pair and they've nagged me to check them out. I've just joined today while their away to check why they so want these things. I thought they where something off the TV. It's nice to know there are girls too. I'm cleaning the house this weekend but will be reading about them. I don't think I'd fancy it I'm a little passed that sort of thing my girls are 14 ( I'm giving my age away (: ).

Hello all, ordered mine today and hoping they turn up tomorrow as I am in B'ham from Thursday till Sunday.

I live in South Wales, in a town called Cross Hands, for the non-initiated it's about 20 mins NW of Swansea, for the really non initated it's about 50 mins West of Cardiff.

In all honesty I probably do not have enough time to get into this but I visited my family in Exeter this w/e and my future brother in law had a pair, tried them and was running within minutes, and had a lot of fun with them for the limited time I was on them.

Anyway that's me for now, I had a good read across most of them forums before I finally made my choice, I expect most of you guys had a hand in helping me decide what and where to buy (PJ ofc), I was also impressed with the speedy replies to the few problem posts I read from the long term forum users and the admins, so thanks  :Cnotworthy:

As for the bockers in Wales question, sheep probably are the answer, I know in my area the farmers have been putting those fences higher and higher in recent years, soon I'll be able to just jump clean over........anyone yet seen a bocker wearing wellies?

Oh and forgot to mention that I am 35.

Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Mini Ellis on April 21, 2009, 05:24:47 PM
But remeber as you progress you will start to need heavyer springs than you accually weigh, becuse you will bottom out some but bare that im mind
but it may be worth starting with 70's and if you keep them in good condition and need some heavyer ones you may beable to sell or swap them with someone =]
Love

Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Donkey Kong on April 22, 2009, 12:50:15 AM
but as i go on and get older and heavier wont i just be able to change the springs to 80s/ 90s if there still in good condition cos that would save about £60 and be easier??

You may know me from pp.com under the same name. But anyway the names Pete, Born Australian but live in the usa. I am a 29 years old. I own Hybrid Poweriser Advanced PR70-90's, I've had them for 2 to 3 months but have only been on them for about a month due to a recent injury to my elbow (Radial head fracture) and related muscles 4 weeks ago from my first fall.  :Cfrown: (Long story short) I ran/sprinted a block tried a bounce stop over a curb, bounced too high, landed double footed, tried to keep running keeping in stride and tripped over a raised crack in the sidewalk,  :Claugh: grabbed what dignity I had left  :Ctongue: and got back up. :Cchatterbox: I hate it when people laugh at you. Getting back up felt so good too, they all shut up. lol I can't seem to refrain from using my hands to stop me from falling. No wrist guards and look what happens. I still can fill that mistake. I didn't even land on my elbow. :( Will I learn  :Cnah: I just need to learn how to fall properly  :Cnotworthy:

Welcome to PJF, you and Jason on here should get on really well :P

Evenin guys and girls, Just joined the forum after bein introduced to the world of bocking by a good friend who's on here. She got me hooked on her spare pair. Although the 3rd go was ended with a hospital visit :( But didnt stop me buyin my own Pro-jumps, which I've had for a couple of weeks now.
Living in Coventry, but only kno 3 other people with bocks here, 2 of which are now livin in Brum. Intend to make contact with 'Skyhigh', cause like the sound of some indoor trainin and some general bockage with people that kno what their doing   :)

Hmm, despite being on this forum for a year I have not made a introduction :Claugh:, though now most of you know me.
So I guess I mays well make one.
Well,  I am Biohazard, my real name is Isaac which I prefer to be called at meets and stuff.
I have been Bocking for a year now on a very weird pair of Skyrunners, as many of you may know.
I am getting a new pair of Pro-Jumps for my 14th Birthday, which also happens to be my anniversary of Bocking.
Bocking has been a great thing in my life, and I have lost so much weight.
Here is a BMI chart showing the weight I have lost since starting Bocking:
(http://filesmelt.com/downloader/bocking_weight_loss.png)

Amazing stuff.
I am hoping to start flipping soon, I need to try going to meets more often though!

Hi!

I am Stu, based in Coventry.

I managed to get the bug a few weeks ago after playing on Spence's bocks. Needless to say, that was it, and starting to find a bit more confidence, after the obligatory fall in  one of the local parksm which amuse many of the old dears near by. Had a couple of sesions recently with Spence, however, due to work commitments, to option to go over to Sky High in Brum is hard due to working evenings.

Hoping that next Sunday is fine and clear for another chance to go and play again - a bit more fun when theres a few of you.

So any Cov & Warks opportunities to have a go at pushing my limits welcomed.

Cheers

Stu

Hello :3
I'm usually called Hesten ^^
and i love in norway, far on the north west coast <.<

i'm apparently pretty insane, if we listen to my friends XD
and i'm always hungry :3
other then that i always get hyper, and loves to get adrenaline rushes o3o

that's a reason why i registered here, because i want PJ's :D

but i don't know what's the best for me to buy, concidering i know cheap ones, but i don't know whether those are good enough quality, but if i buy them in england, the shipping and toll and moms and stuff will come added, so...
i don't know D:

i haven't seen any projumpers in norway!

glad to meet y'all ~~

I'm don't think projump ship to norway. So you might not have much choice. If the cheap stilts are skyrunners your concerns about quality are fair. The quality is random. Some are good. Some are bad.

Anyway, welcome to the forum and i jope you are bocking soon!

Hi everyone.

I'm Kim, a brand new (and very wobbly) newb! I'm based over in Berkshire, more specifically in Bracknell (no judgement/s******ing/mocking please... i feel bad enough about that all by myself :Claugh: ) and I have literally just started learning to walk on my BRAND NEW pro-jumps *squee*

I've been walking fairly confidently for a few days now, and desperately want to start "running", however so far I have got as far as a few slightly bouncy steps before engaging in some flailing and even more horribly, embarrassing girl noises!!

Any advice anyone could give me on how to break this little fear wall, I would very much sppreciate it please :)

Anyways, thanks everyone!!

P.S i would very much like to thank SNuD for the Spring protection tape mod! i did mine this evening as I have already bashed my springs together many, MANY times in just a few days.... i had no idea i walked like such a moron before now  :Cwideeyed:
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Samarka on February 20, 2010, 05:04:42 AM
Hi Kim! Welcome to the ranks of the noobs, I also got my pro-jumps today. I had a slight advantage in that I had a go on SNuD's bocks before I ordered mine.

I have started slightly bouncy running today, its not fast its not full of finesse but its getting there. One thing I found that in all cases keep your knees up is the best way to go, my "running" consists of high knee antics, like if you were running on the spot and keeping your knees high, and eventually lengthening your stride as your speed increases, just start slow, walk a bit faster than normal, then a bit more etc and you will find a rhythm that suits and you'll be away.

As I said though being a nooby myself I'm not and expert but thats what seems to be working for me.
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Bbmthbloke on February 20, 2010, 06:05:09 AM
Hi Kim   and welcome,  you may want to have a chat with GizmoQueen ( Basingstoke) and rawrk ( Newbury   and only had stilts a month  if not less)
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: mimster on February 20, 2010, 07:33:01 PM
thanks to Samarka and Bbmthbloke for the welcome :)

so, took the advice and after nearly 2 and a half hours today, i have finally got some form of running under way  :Csmile: well, the distance between one lamp post and another, but i'm not complaining!!! also managed a kind of hop, although it was more unintentional than skill  :Claugh:

my legs don't appear to be functioning entirely correctly now but i will fight that with some type of wine tonight i'm sure :Crolleyes:

i was also *so* excited to hear there are some others in my area!!! thanks for that Bbmthbloke!

anyways, today was such a beautiful day (hope everyone was out and about today :D) so keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't snow tonight as they're predicting or my plans to nail the running tomorrow are out the window *sad*

Hi Everyone!  :Csmile:

Im Nutt, a bocking scout, well a scout learning to bock. Had my Pj's about 3 weeks now.

Live near Stroud, Gloucestershire would love to meet up with some people and bounce. Would love to get to a gym session but who's most local to me? Im 23 and drive so happy to travel to meet up, and hoping to meet the welsh bockers at cardiff bay sometime as got friends there at uni that i visit.

I have already modded my bocks with the epoxy bushings, which works awesomely well. Also got a mate knocking up some metal ones to replace at somepoint.

Catch you around Nutt

She pointed at her and said 'shes good' looked at you and said 'he isnt'.  Me thinks the girls stick together 2 much

Hey guys,
I'm from the south of germany and a fan of bocking for a long time now.. I read a lot in the big bouncing boards and one of them was this one.. and finally I bought me some stilts last summer.

I got the Speedjumper Professional (yep, this 1k € bad-ass thing^^) and I love it.

After reading and laughing a lot here, I decided to register because you guys are a nice and crazy community. I love all the (partially) weird mods and stuff in here. :D

Hi All,

Having eventually managed to meet up with a group of Bockers at Eastrop Park in Basingstoke last sunday I have to say a big thank you to Jason for the loan of a pair of stilts, I had a great time and have just taken delivery of my own pair.

I'm 40 years old (good lord I really am!), live in Newbury, Berkshire and first learned about Bocking through a work colleague (Katy).  I've always been into things that are a little 'out there' - used to paraglide, I'm a scuba diving instructor and as you can probably see from my avatar I use explosives both professionally and for fun!

So I guess by most 'normal' measures I'm 'Mad' and proud of it - sanity is just so boring.

Like I said, I met up with a few bockers in Basingstoke and was only expecting to do about 20 minutes as I'd been told that most first timers can only handle it for this sort of length of time as they're using unfamiliar muscules.  It did hurt, but I worked through it and didn't taken them off for 3 hours!

Apparently I'm a natural and Jason couldn't believe it was my first time as I was hapilly running within about half an hour and jumping confidently by the time I decided to call it quits.

Looking forward to using my bocks to get fit (they allow me to run without the arthritus in my toes acting up) and coming along to other meets.

Hi Pyro,

Congratulations on the basingstoke success. Glad you have Katy to steer you in the right  direction.

Shame you had to meet Jason on your first time out, I'm sure that will wear off soon.  :Cwink:

in all seriousness, you have a really good bunch to learn with. 

Katy is fab as I'm sure you know, and will always be there at just the right time.

Welcome to the forum Steve

As for mad you'll fit in well here (I don't think I know any sane members  :Claugh: )

As for the explosives Naz a few people have already comented that mixing the two of us might not be healthy  :Claugh:

Seriously though after 10 mins we had figgured a few ways to set nero on fire and might move on to blowing him up  :Cbiggrin:

See you at the next meet Steve

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd come here and introduce myself while I'm waiting for my Pro_jumps to arrive in the mail. Hurry up darn it!  :Crealmad:

I've never been on a pair of Bocks, but they look like soooooo much fun! I'm so excited!    :Cbiggrin:

I used to do a lot of trampolining when I was a kid (could do simple flips n stuff) and I'm fairly fit so hopefully I should do OK.  I've also ordered a full set of protective gear because I don't wanna end up in A&E  :Claugh:

I look forward to getting to know the bocking community, and of course bouncing around having fun.

G'day!

Luke, currently in Fleet, Hants. but emigrating in about 3 weeks to Perth, Aus.

Managed to get myself a pair of Pro+ m100s second hand, learnt to balance and walk so far but only in the garden as i aint go no wrist braces, yet!

Bought these so that I could use them to commute to work so i'll be running in them mainly rather than clearing buildings in a single bound.

Anyone know of any aussie bockers?

Hi everyone, I have literally just placed my order for my new stilts and am itching to get on them. This is totally new to me but as soon as I saw them I knew I had to own a pair. I look forward to *fingers crossed* injury free bocking :)

Oh and I should probably say, I'm Lee from around the Portsmouth/Fareham area so if there are any other bockers about down here it'd be good to get to know a few of you. Thanks

Hey, My name's Rory, I'm 17 and currently studying media (tv and film) in amersham. I wanted to start a sport since all I do is sit inside and stay on my computer and bocking looked very out of the ordinary so I want to try this, I hope I can find people to do this with too. I'm really looking forward to getting started when I buy a pair tomorrow or next week, I do have small doubts about getting hurt but no pain no game!

I can't wait to starting jumping high and awesomely! and hopefully go to lincoln too!

Thanks for reading!

Hello everyone!  I'm Jon, 38 and unfit!  i live in "sunny" Kent, just outside Maidstone.  I've been the proud owner of pair of second hand stilts for a week now, and have progressed to wobbling round the house and garden un-aided on them.  Apart from repeatedly banging my head on the top of door frames (must learn to duck!) I so far havent bailed, but its due to happen some time so have equiped myself with some pads and wrist bracers.

I've got a couple of minor problems which need sorting, but I'll have a trawl of the board before I ask, as no doubt they are common noob problems.

Anyhoos, thats me, so I guess I'll be making a pest of myself round the forum over the next few weeks!

Hiya Jason, thanks for the welcome!  I'll be trying to meet up with some of my local Bockers, once I have got my confidence up somewhat, and I have a technique which can be commented on!  I'm not too far from the Black Lion, as I am just north of Maidstone, which is handy.

Going to have a go at straightening my right stilt tonight as its causing rubbing and bruising on the inside of my knee- I've used your hook and string technique and its a little out of line.  This would probably explain why my right leg seems to have a tendancy to go slightly sideways when I am walking.

TTFN

Jon.
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Jason on October 06, 2010, 07:14:56 PM
Yep that will cause it mate also
I tend to set mine a bit off center as I walk funny and that stops the "falling off" feeling

Don't wait to join other bockers mate as most people progress much quicker in a crowd than they do alone
I have seen guys go from first try to running and first jumps in one session in a crowd and it's more fun

Hi Lew  and welcome. I too am not from Cornwall.  But I gotta ask, which bit?  Cos 'just' over the boarder and based in and around Plymouth are the 'Riser Raptors'. A pretty laarge and active group( good chance there are a dozen or so of them bouncing around the Hoe as I type). Even if you are not too near, Id get in contact them. A cos youd have great fun even just meeting up with them from time to time but B  they are the people most likely to know others in Cornwall.

THe guy to seek out is 'darkcastles2'   or Alex as he also answers to.  They also have a Facebook page i believe

Hi, I've only had my stilts about a month but I think they are AMAZING!!! Even though I've fallen over countless times (usually in front of large crowds) I still want to get back up and bounce around. Any stilt owners in the Midlands?

Hi,
Im Dan, 15, from Birmingham,
I am yet to order my first power bocks, and am a total n00b to this stuff, but it looks awesome,
Im interested in buying too if anyone would like to help me out (Budget: £200, Weight: 65Kgs) as i have no idea what is sutable for me.

Seems nice in here...  :Cbiggrin:
See you all soon!

Hey there welcome to the forum, living in Birmingham means that you have the guys at sky high to show you the ropes, get in touch with nero if you can who can help you make a decision :)
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: billymaya on October 27, 2010, 12:00:35 PM
hi dan wlecome to the forum its certainly a good place to come to learn the ropes its a great sport to get into ive not been doing it for very long either but am soon getting used to the way these stilts works, i think most people suggest that you look for springs at least 10 kg over your actualy weight this will make sure you get plenty of use out of them and mean once you get some practice in you should get more return from your springs budget wise you could pick up some of the new pro jumps they are bringing out soon i think they retail for 149 quid which is very reasonable also make sure you check out ebay as you can get some good stilts on there for good money as people tend to buy the stilts then get fed up with them quickly because they cant jump 7 ft in the air straight away so flog them on you can get some real bargains but make sure you know what your buying and ask people advice on here as im sure they could guide you in the right direction when buying from ebay good luck in any case and enjoy hope to see some vids of you bocking soon :)

Hey Dan, welcome to the dark side!

You dont mention whether or not you've actually tried on a pair of bocks yet. If you have not, I definately would recommend doing this asap and I'm sure there is someone local to you that would let you have a famous five minutes on them. It sounds like you are hooked on them already which is great, but you need to get on them 5 mins ago!

Edd, 20, East Grinstead, Sussex. Had my PJ's since the end of November beginning of December, loads of snow so haven't been able to get out as much as I would've liked, got walking within the first 5 minutes, and now competently running, albeit wearing myself out quickly, got some 2 footed jumps down tonight too so I'm building some confidence, only to have it shattered soon as I haven't fallen yet. To be honest, I think that not falling doesn't allow me to get confidence up enough as I don't know what it's like yet  :Claugh: Anywho, see you all around, bedtime for me  :CSLEEP:

Hi all,

I am a veritable newbie to the world of bocking. So refreshingly new in fact that i have yet to take delivery of my first pair of pro jumps!!!

I am a juggler and giraffe unicycler by hobby, that was until friday night, when a chap turned up with a pair of early pro-jumps and suggested that i may enjoy a quick try. An hour and a half later, i begrudgingly agreed to take them off.

So, here i am, sat in sunny Kent, reading forum post after forum post, assimilating knowledge that while enjoyable for me, is somewhat annoying for the missus (don't think i have spoken more than a few words all day  :Csmile: )

No doubt i will pop up all over the place asking what will begin as stupid questions, but hope over time to become a contributing member of the forum.

Maybe one day i will even post a pic of me doing this!!!   :Becky:

Hello there!

I am Steven, studying information technology in Passau, Germany. I think I will buy my pair of EXO Pro stilts tomorrow. I am not completly new to this great sport, 2008 I bought a pair of 7s, but I gave up cause I had no mates and my ex-girlfriend didn't want to watch me any longer after I fell down four times :D. This time a friend of mine will buy some too hehe. Let's restart :).

Greetings from Germany,

Hello to all...    :Cwink:

I'm Todd and 40 years young.  I live in Bozeman, Montana - a mountain paradise in Yellowstone country.  I group on trampolines and spent years in Tae Kwon Do and gymnastics.  Later, I moved to just working out in a gym and I'm sick of it!  I want to get back to when exercise was fun!  Don't get me wrong, I love hiking in the mountains and mountainbiking, but I want to fly through the air with the greatest of ease, again.  My new Air-Trekkers are going to make that dream come true.  I also hope to start a club locally and I'm sure I will draw a crowd when I visit Montana State University's campus a little later.  I'm glad to be a part of this new and awesome sport.

Blue Skies!

Greetings to all fans of denying laws of physics.

My name is Lev (in Russian Lev means a lion therefore it's easier for you to call me Leo i guess, but i'm cool with both as long as it's not Borat or Meerkat thingy). I am 22 years old and a student in Leeds Met uni, decided to start jumping around last week and already am trying out a pair of used pro jumps to see what's it like, in case i get addicted to it i will consider buying a pair of my own. Currently I am based in Leeds. I will be browsing your forums for possible modification of pro-jumps and once i get to at least a level of when i can run or do simple jumps I will consider coming to one of your meetings. I am a complete freshmeat on a field so don't judge me too much.

Thank you for your attention, glad to be with you.

Hi karimdaniel.

Great to hear you have invested in what will become some of the most fun you can have with springs tied to your feet!!!

Sick flips, car jumping and other super human tricks will require you to have a good solid understanding of jumping and how to correctly rotate your body.

Might i suggest attending a tampoline class to help with the foundations.

Check out the injury posts for good examples of what happens if you try to run before you can walk!!

Hi all! My names ed, from south norfolk in england and Im 26 years old.
I saw the pro jump exos in a magazine called 'wired' a few months back and my eyes nearly popped out when
I saw them,  Id never seen anything like them. I saved £20 a week from my crappy job and eventually got the money
together for them just over a week ago.
Hehe, at first I was just thinking of doing amazing physical stunts, but of course you got to practice and I guess
thats how it should be.
I value health/fitness (been running for years) and also get a kick out of risk taking/adrenaline, so bocks are right up my street really :) I got a juicey bruise on my hip cos I tried to run before I can even walk yesterday, hopefully this will learn me :)

Hello everybody , my name is Keith and I live in Orpington , Kent , England.
Just brought a pair of Pro-Jump Exo's for my 13 year old son.

Got them yesterday and we have just been outside and he has had his first go on them.
He did alright I thought for his first time , but he has just said to me that he is a bit scared of them , which I am OK with as it will stop him trying to run before he can walk - literally !

Hi Keith

Welcome to the forum

It's a good sign that he is cautious but it will pass as he gains the ballance needed

Only one question mate why didn't you get a set for yourself  :Cbiggrin:

If you're new to the forum then simply reply to this topic and tell us a bit about you, where you are etc, how old you are and how insane you are. Whatever you'd like to share really  :P

I've been here a while already and most of the regulars know me but for those who dont my name is Matt, I'm from Cardiff, South Wales and I am one of the oldies who refuses to grow up lol. I've had my PJ's about 2-3 months and my progress is slow but steady, though the amount of rain we've had has literally put a dampening on things  >:(

So, WHO ARE YOU?

:Cbiggrin:Hi all, I'm Pete, from UK but in Denmark as working here till Xmas. Got lots of free time to practice so hope I get better.Had the kit about 6 months but always work away so bought them with me this time. Plenty of good sites here to use them, parks, cycle paths etc. Anyone changed over to calf cuffs? Thinking of doing it as i find it's always tricky to undo the top strap after a session. Happy jumping everyone :Cwink:

Hiya, I'm 11 and I got my Pro Jumps at Christmas - I'm gettin used to them, but its a bit boring jumpin on my own - I'm too fast for mates with legs to keep up. I can walk and run and have tried a bit of jumping but I don't know how to get to the next level. I'm looking for some mates to jump with. I live in Billericay, but could get a lift to Chelmsford Basildon Brentwood etc.
I'm a Scout too, so it'd be great to hear from some other Scouts -maybe we could get a Scout thing goin?  Some fun at the Jamboree next year????  :Cnotworthy: Be great to hear from somone.

Hey all

My names Lee, I'm 23 and from Didcot near Oxford.

I'm an uber noob having only just started bocking but i'm picking it up fairly quickly and was hoping that the kind people of this forum could support me and help show me the light. No falls yet, but maybe that just means that I'm not pushing myself hard enough!

hi peeps
i'm kevin (kev)
im 38 and live in lancing, west sussex.
i think im the only one in my area but have seen a couple of chaps in worthing whilst i was driving.
i dont have a pair of bocks yet but will be getting a pair of pro-jump exo CZ90's
i'm 6 ft 3 and slim.i consider myself quite fit although i do smoke.
but i am defo gonna need some help when i get a pair as i dont like falling over.
will get all the safe gear i feel important to me.
however i havent found a good source for wrist supports yet, have some ideas but would like some i can wear with gloves as i like my digits as they are,i think that the wrist/glove combined combo looks a bit over the top.
any suggestions.
regards

Best i have found are Flexmeter Multisport

Company called Alpsgear sells them and I believe you can get a discount if you search the old posts on here

Only problem is the gloves they cover most of your hand so you would need big gloves

Hi all,

I'm new here, hence this post. I've been looking over the forum reading through as many threads as possible for an hour or so and have decided that it looks like a great community which I'd be more than happy to be a part of.

I got my pair of exo's yesterday and spent just over an hour learning to walk and jog slowly, when a bolt thread on my left toe plate decided to shred it's self causing me to fall on a hard pathway :P

One slightly aching hip and a couple of polite emails to customer support at ghostbikes later, a replacement part will soon be on it's way and I'll be running all over town!

Looking forward to many happy conversations here :)

Hi everyone!
My names Cameron I'm 18 and from Dover, Been bocking for about a week, got into it after practising parkour, freerunning and trampolining for years, so bockings a bit of a combination of all three!.... So far It's been great, the attention you get and the sense of self achievement just makes it so fun. Hoping to get down to my local gym soon to practice somersaults, really hoping it wont take long too learn, but we'll see how it goes...
Are there any bocking clubs around my area? Would be great to go to some meets...
Guess that's all for now!
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!

Hi Cam.

I think you are looking for the Invictor Bockers. A guy called Toddy. Have a look at the home page/whats happening near you/groups.
Hope this gets you in touch with your local crowd.  :Csmile:
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Jason on August 29, 2011, 02:28:47 PM
The Invicta's have been quiet recently

Shame really as their Black Lion Gym meets were awesome (even the car park was challenging)

So if you start them up again I will be at the gym meets  :Cbiggrin:

Thanks for the greetings. I've checked the invicta bockerz website and it seems quite dead... Think they've stop bocking.... Would You be up for coming down to the black lion centre for a meet? I would love to learn from some more experienced Bockers... Just dont think anyone down this end does it anymore..

Cameron
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Jason on August 29, 2011, 06:23:00 PM
Send a PM to Toddy and see if he still lives there

If not he might be able to tell you who is still bocking round there

Problem with just a couple of us coming over is the gym would be very expensive to book (need about 10 or more to make it reasonable)

Next weekend on sunday a few of us are going to london to meet up with a welsh bocker or two so if you could make that it would be fun as it is at a slackline event so lots to watch the post is here

I just got my second pair of PJ's (I used to have some junior ones, but they were rubbish! :P) I'm currently trying to learn some new moves and skills, I'm not sure if getting 70kg stilts was the best choice for a 50kg guy :P Looking for any bocking groups in or around the West Sussex area, any tips or tricks will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Tom, we're just over the bridge from you so feel free to come down to Cardiff and the bocking hotspot of cardiff bay.

SpawnyB (Graham) is in Bristol and one or two others I think, he'll know for sure.

There is an area on the harbour that is a good little bocking spot and I've been meaning to try it out myself. This video from a local news story was filmed there:

Don't mind Locky he's Welsh and they are all mad (wait till you see them Bock  :Cbiggrin: )

There are loads of Bockers round your way but they all seem to be Scouts (if very old Scouts) but sure you will find them a nice bunch

thanks for the warm welcome!

scouts? no good! im not allowed near kids anymore.... long story...

yeah i am mental, and a bit enthusiastic...i been out already... bocking? cant do it!

ok, how tight do you have to do the top straps up? the ones near the knee.... so its really tight and theres zero movement?

knee collar cuff upgrades... talk to me??

(i was joking about the kids :P)


ive never been caught......



Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Raephen on April 19, 2012, 11:20:30 PM
Yep, that's the idea: as little movement as possible.

Calf-cuffs are great, they're in a different league altogether compared to the classic knee-bar.

Which type did you get? Exo? Exo pro? While the calf-cuff will go onto your Exo (with the black plastic mounting block), therein lies a problem (the black plastic mounting block).

The bars of the cuffs can have latteral movement when mounted in the black plastic - the plastic doesn't quite grip it hard enough and so they can move outward slightly when in use.

The cuffs are great, but for my Exo's I ordered a pair of Viper V2 cuffs - they come with aluminium mounting blocks (and have blown my budget out of the water, but that's not the subject here ;) )

Bounce long and prosper, mate!

Ralph
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Usergu1de on April 20, 2012, 12:35:19 AM
Thanks for the info dude!

There not the pro version! Ill definatly order the viper cuffs if there better, I find it quite hard to do up the strap on the back of the knee bars so there tight!

Is it worth upgrading the bindings 2?

Do you have a link for the viper cuffs? I can't find them! Only videos on YouTube, thanks !!
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Raephen on April 20, 2012, 08:52:51 AM
http://www.lesbottesde7lieues.com/en/spares.html

The alu mounting blocks *should* be compatible. I had a whole conversation with an admin of the site - Adrian, a very nice and helpful guy - and he had his doubts, seeing the frame changes in the Exo series. But the mounting block looks identical to previous M series, so it should work.
If you can wait till later on next week, when my order arrives, I'll let you guys know how it went.

As for the standard bindings? They're good enough to begin with - and infinitely better than the bindings I had on my Skyrunners, but if you bock the way you talk, it's defo something to keep in mind.

The Supreme Wrap looks very much like the 7 League Pro bindings and, if style is also a concern ;) , would go well with the Viper cuffs.

But think it over first: it's not a cheap upgrade. The Cobra cuffs look to be good, too and come with the same mounting block, but I decided if I was going to blow my personal budget, I'd rather do it in style  :Cbiggrin: And besides: every bit of extra control I can get is a good thing: I'm - technically - handicapped, you know ;)

Good luck bocking, mate!

The Bouncing Dutchman,
Ralph

Realph you have to remember we cant get anything 7's in the UK so the Viper cuffs aren't really an option, Pro jump is the only way to get decent stilts and parts in the UK
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Raephen on April 20, 2012, 09:29:28 AM
Hi Carl,

I think it's it's a yes and a no.
By - what I think is - your reasoning, I couldn't get either Pro Jumps or the 7's here in the NL.

And for their complete 7 League stilt collection, even have a seperate page stating prices + shipping to the UK.

I love my Exo's and I really like the customer care Pro-Jump gives - I just regret not buying the Pro version and lack the skill to craft my own steel/alu mounting block, so I looked for the next best thing ;)

That turned out to be a competitor...
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: carlgreen on April 20, 2012, 09:35:11 AM
the point i was making is that we cannot get 7's in the UK legally due to the patents not being paid as we have no distributors here, 7's France are not allowed to ship here
Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!
Post by: Raephen on April 20, 2012, 09:56:41 AM
By that reasoning, I could only get Skyrunners, Powerisers or, as I discovered last weekend, FlyJumpers here in the Netherlands, and yet I purchased and own a pair of Exo's...

I have to admit, I'm not on the up and up on the whole patent legislation (and subversion of it, in some cases - yes, I'm looking at you, Skyrunners ;) ) but what I am aware of is the free import and export of consumer goods within the EU.

Last I checked, the UK was still a part of the EU.

Oh ell, that's jst my two cents. But then again: I could be wrong.

Koloan, welcome to the forum.

And chol8, my Vipers arrived in the mail today.
The alu blocks fit nicely, and the fit of the cuff is very good.
Though, for my skinny calfs, I might need to get a pair of those shin / knee guards.
The O'neal one look good. The black and white ones have a nice storm trooper feel to them,

Cheers!

Hi, I'm Kit, 14, from Stowmarket, Suffolk. only been out on my powerisers 3 times so far for about 1 hour each time. I can jump two foot now. hop up steps, run, walk, tuck, hop one legged and jump grabbing one spring.javascript:void(0);
As soon as the weather is better I am hoping to do more, then i can finally go out with my mates javascript:void(0); Cant wait!

Hope to get some matresses out front in the summer so then i will hopefully be able to try to frontflip, as i can on the trampoline.

Hey there, I'm Elliott, 18, i'm in North/West London and I saw the stilts a long time ago, and always wanted to take it up. So, that's exactly what i'm going to do, in the long term hopefully, it looks great fun, and I love bouncing around on the trampoline anyway, and so this is perfect for me. I ordered my stilts today and am so excited to join the bocking community and start bouncing! :Cbiggrin:

Post by: PERES on December 18, 2012, 03:08:45 PM
Hello bockers!

I'm Alex Peres, 32, from Brazil,  and it's a pleasure to join you guys in this forum. This sport isn't common in Brazil yet, anywhere you go you can't find it or somebody that can talk about this sport; but I think in a couple of months it'll be popular.
I bought my powerstrider in the only single store that sell it in Brazil, located in São Paulo, there's no other store selling it yet. When I called the stores looking for it, they even didn't know what  pro-jump, powerstrider, 7league boots, fly jump, poweriser, skyrunner, means...
So I bought my power stilts, in 1, december 2012, and could practice only 5 times. I was able to walk already I got balance, but I didn't know how to stand up after a fall. So I couldn't go out with my stilts cause I wouldn't be able to stand up by myself.
So my weight is 94 kg, and I bought springs from 100kg - 110kg; I've read in some posts that is better get one size up. Even though, the salesperson advice me to get 90 kg - 100 kg.
I felt this springs are so hard and I think that was my difficult to stand up alone; cause the springs can't compress when I put my weight on it.
I was trying to get up and I got hurt by some muscular distansion on my groin and leg. So that I can't walk without stilts ...LOL
Anyway, I'm so anxious cause I bought my power stilts to practice in this Xmas and January and know I can't cause of this hurt.... I'm so upset with that. But, there's no thing to do, without waiting get my groin and leg better.
It will take about 3 to 6 months without my power stilts, just at this moment that I'd love to be walking around and specially cause nobody have seen power stilts here in my town yet... I would be famous....hahaha....

I'd like to know if this kind of muscular distantion is normal for bockers or just for beginners?


Take care bockers!


Alex

Hey what's up my fellow bockers? I am excited to be part of the bocking community. A little bit about myself... I am a 31 year old male, and I live in Malta... awesome and beautiful small island.

If there are any other bockers on the island, hit me up! Also, any visiting bockers are most welcome to contact me to hang out or for sightseeing (I can show you the island).

I just got (a few weeks ago) my first ever pair of jumping stilts, and I haven't had the time to do much. But I am learning fast.

That is all in a nutshell... hear from you guys and girls.

Peace out.

Hi

My name is Chels
I started with my pro jumps over a year ago due to my other half jordan raving about bouncing about
Unfortunatly due to weather, setting up 2 new businesses, moving twice my poor buba projumps have been neglected i havent even learnt to bounce on them yet :(
BUT 2013 im changing that even if its -20 outside im going out :)

from seaton in devon
so if anyone is close let me know

Title: Re: INTRODUCTIONS!

Welcome aboard Chels

The forum is a bit quite at the moment (all this cold weather )
But it will pick up in the spring and you should get a few replies

Apart from the hardened few most people only want to go out in the summer  :Claugh:

I seem to remember that there were a few people around your area and I believe there was a shop set up entirely for bocking a few years ago (saddly it didn't survive as far as I know)
So you should get a couple of people to bock with but the best way by far is to be seen out on them at the weekends and give people a go on them as once they have tried quite a lot go on to buy and you then have a bocking comunity

Hi Jumpy
Welcome to the forum mate

What sort of stilt work are you looking for as we do get a few offers come up on here
Most of them are for charity or freebys but a few of the lads do regular work but they seem to travel abroad to do it or work in night clubs

In my experience most of the work I have been offered comes in two flavors

Either handing out leaflets or they want someone to do displays and for that you need to be fairly good

Make a couple of vids showing your tallents and post they here so people can see you and they may well offer you some work

Being able to flip is a major plus point as the public always like to see a flip  :Claugh:

Hi jumpy ,

I have worked and loved all my jobs on stilts over the years .

But The Main advice would be , even thou this is a fun sport if you work you deffo need to be professional about it . Ie: contracts and all the other boring legalitys .
As to protect yourself , as there are un professional people out there .


If you need any info just drop me an email .

Hope this helps !

I'm afraid we aren't incredibly regular. We're all students, so we're usually working around everybody else, however I've been trying to sort a meet out lately. I need to get on to everyone and see who's gone home already. If all else fails. I'm happy to just meet you myself. You could also try PMing hoppingmadbody HoppingManBody, who's a new person in Newcastle. That way you have someone to bock with closer to you, although as I say, he's also new so it'll be harder to learn new things than if you meet up with the rest of us.

Jason, I think you're overestimating me. Without any gym time, I've actually been on a Bocking downturn- I've only ever flipped 3 times, all over 3, maybe 4 years ago.

Hi Mel, welcome to the madhouse.

I think you'll find London a good spot for meeting up and learning.

There are regular meets in Staines and Basingstoke with the banned bockers + friends, and a couple of the bockers had a few years on you, so don't worry about the age.

I do believe there is a Sunday meet at the London eye on 5th May, so maybe one you could come along too if you're free.

If not, the Staines or Basingstoke ones happen most weekends.

Have fun

Welcome Malcolm, if you keep an eye out on here we do a once a month meet in London near the eye, or keep an eye out on the Banned Bockers facebook page for meets in the area, a few of us are doing Walk 4 Life this weekend on the stilts if you are around

Ah nice, near the eye sounds like a good laugh! Will definitely keep an eye out. Will try and get a few mates involved too. I'd spotted the posts about WFL but I'm away this weekend... Plus I think spending that much time non-stop bocking might actually kill me!

If you are in Uxbridge mate you are fairly near most of our meets

We meet up in Staines, Hanworth (near Feltham) and Basingstoke (oh and sometimes Hampton Court)

I take it you mean Uxbridge just north of Heathrow

We meet up most sundays for a couple of hours (can be all day if people want to start early or stay late)

Dave learnt to backflip there so will be able to give you some pointers

Hey! My name's Justin but just about all my buddies call me Bloo and I live in Seattle, Washington, USA. I actually ended up snagging a pair of Air-Trekkers CZ-A Extremes and was told this is not only the best bocking forum around but you guys are the sister-brand to AT's so... here I am! I have sadly only been able to get my stilts a few times due to life and rain getting in the way, but in the hours I have been able to spend on them I am already able to walk, jog and do some basic bouncing! So far the only thing that is giving me trouble is getting up after a fall without help... I am not yet flexible enough to kick my knee to my chest to jump up on. >.<

The advice on this forum has been a huge help already and I plan on being around here for a long while yet!

Hey I'm Sam.

I've been jumping a couple of months now. got into them because my mate (Molk958) is a persistent bugger and he got me to try them.
I thought that the set I bought off him would suit me for a while but I already need to upgrade the springs but I'm tempted to just go for it and upgrade to the CZ's

I'm going to a banned bockers meet on Sunday so will meet some of you there. Still need to have a good banned story to get in, not sure if being banned from my back garden will be enough.
