Title: Failed Flip :(
Post by: raz373 on January 28, 2010, 04:23:30 PM

So the second day i've had my bocks, this probably sounds stupid but I thought, oh hell lets go for a flip. Got a full rotation, and a bit extra. FACEPLANT, broken nose, broken specs, blood everywhere. Long live bocking :)

tbh its a little better that you overrated first, most people have difficulty getting enough rotation first

Hey Raz

Well done and try these people next time you need glasses mate I use them and the prices are good if you stick to the buget frames

http://www.glassesdirect.co.uk

They start at £19 for the metal frame type and the ones I buy are the Judge ones (fairly tough)

Would it not be cheaper and safer to just remove your glasses ? Apart from breaking your glasses you also risk a small chance of parts of them stabbing you in the face  :Cwideeyed:
That is unless your blind as a bat without them and would be more than likely walk into a door frame :Cswoon:

Monocles for the win! I wear contacts, I lost one once, does bizarre things to depth perception and distance when one eye is near blind!
