8-13-11 at the fountain by the Shokan reservoir in NY, USA. Good bocking spot. This is in full HD! I've gotten a lot better since this. I know the video is kind of long and boring. My good jumps are @ 1:25 and 2:15, and I get some decent height at 3:08. Sorry for the sideways video at the end. Any tips are welcome. Thanks for watching!

Nice video and Beautifull spot to train ^^
I only recommend putting your camcorder on something, or get à camera man with a steady hand. I kinda got à headache from the continu's moveing camera and the focussing all THE time.
But overall, keep up the Good work ^^

Yeah, my fiance recorded this with her nikon digital slr camera. She was sitting in the car at the time and kind of zoomed in, hence the shakiness. Next time we take a video we will know better.

Looking good there mate
Love those blocks we have something like them but longer in Staines (local bocking ground) and getting onto them the first time is scary but so much fun
Just managed to jump off one and back up onto another (thought it was gonna kill me :Claugh:)
Keep up the good work

Thanks Jason.
Yeah, it's a really nice place, especially when the fountain is running.
I'll have to try jumping off of one block and then back up to another. To be honest it never entered my mind to do that.
This coming week I and three other bockers (two very beginner and one sort of beginner) will be meeting up and going indoors. Several other people are coming along who wish to try them as well. I hope to take some video and post here later. I might attempt a front flip or two as well. We shall see how soft the crash mats are.

Yep took me 3 years to get up the guts to do that and to jump completely over one as well :Claugh:
Next step is a half turn as I jump on :Cbiggrin: probably another year or so :Claugh:

Yeah Jason, that would be cool. Spins are really hard without going off balance.
-
Bit of confidence is all you need to spin and lead from the waist not the shoulders.

Thanks for the advice Locky. I think I've been doing it exactly opposite of that. I'll give it a try the next time I go out.

It's quite hard to understand the technique until you do it but if you go from the shoulders then your twist is all wrong, your shoulders get round before your legs do which can actually be really dangerous on stilts especially if you over-do it.
