Look Ma no wristguards
(http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/gallery/311_16_06_07_9_02_35.jpg)
And after the op
-
Naz I put 2 pics up on the gallery and they have magicaly appeared here as well
It was'nt me honest
-
:)
Yeah I was testing a feature out. Where it automatically creates a thread I've disabled it for now but if you guys think its a good idea I can bring it back :D
-
It made me look like a meglamaniac gone posting mad (hang on that sound about right ) ;D
-
YUCK!
-
That gives me the shivers everytime I see it. The other one before the op looks even worse.
-
soooo..........Any nice nurses at the hospital?......also chicks love a scar :D
-
Yes especialy the one that took 2 attempts to put the needle thing back in my right hand after I pulled it out by accident :-[
that bruised better than the wrist ;D
I'm lucky/unlucky depending how you look at it scars just seem to fade on me after about 2 years
Good really with my history there would'nt be enough room left for skin if they did'nt
-
Wheat germ oil is meant to be great for reducing scars! Try your local body shop!
-
Thanks Naz I'll get some (body shop I wonder if the sell new bodys as well mines getting a bit old)
-
ooooo dont like dont like cant we have warnings for ucky pictures and vids. I know there is a vid on youtube out there of uncle matt fracturing his thumb ---and im just never going to look at it
glad to know you are on the mend jason
-
I can get a bit squirmish too but I like to see these things just as an advance warning!

News Update
I'm back on my PJ's 8)
The wife got back from her course so I don't have to look after the horse anymore so I went out for a bounce tonight feels good to be back on them ;D
Just once round the block small bouncing and a run
-
Great - Nice to hear you are now back to the world of bounce!
-
Jason, take care now, and remember safety is number 1 in bockin!! I know i should wear my safety gear, but only actually wear my wrist guards!!
-
Oh boy Sx I'll bet you draw a crowd in only wristguards
I like to at least wear trousers, at my age I don't like the cold drafts
-
:o
-
Well I finally got the X-Rays through and I've been lying unintentionally it's 12 screws not 8 and I've been told by the doc that its a very expensive titanium plate 8)
I put the pics in breaks and bruises for your enjoyment ;D
-
I have only been blocking for about 4 weeks now. I have been able to jump quite hig, run quite fast, hop on one foot and skip.
I fell over for the first time today, and i have badly grazed my knee, hurt my right elbow, hurt my left wrist and grazed my left hand.
I had not worn any safety gear, but i am not sure if i should get knee pads. I have damaged my springs, by falling over. There is a small gash in the left spring, but not bad enough to be worried about (i hope)
Do i need to get another spring?
Thanks all
Ben Taylor

hi Ben
welcome to the forum, best to take a photo so we can access the damage

Hi Ben
You need wristguards as a minimum I thought I could get by without them and shattered my wrist (I was walking at the time)
Today I hopped of of a little 2ft block and got it wrong I got up straight away no damage to me
But let me give you an idea of the force in that little fall I broke the abs knee guard and scored the wristguards very deeply if I hadn't been wearing any guards I would probably have a fractured or broken kneecap (no walking for a long time) and very sore palms
Jason :Hoofies2:
-
Yea and you dont look no worse for wearing the stuff. It fits the image of wearing bocks so no excuses :nana:
-
Wristguards is a must, some people here have hurt themselves badly by not wearing them, not mentioning any names!!
-
not mentioning any names!!
Just read the first post :rolleyes:
-
not mentioning any names!!
Just read the first post :rolleyes:
I just didn't want to single out one person!! lol
-
Don't ever worry about that Sx I am used to being singled out I now quite enjoy it at least people notice me then :biggrin:
Not that I've ever been the sort to fade into the background :haha:

Jason :Hoofies2:
At 6 1 and on stilts !? I think the background could fade into you :biggrin:
-
6ft 3 1/2" actually DK and we all know those extra 2 1/2" are important :haha:
Or were you talking about my circumference :biggrin:
Jason :Hoofies2:
-
I forgot you were sooo short, Jason, I have an inch on your. ;) Although at your age I suppose you'll be shrinking now. :P
-
Arrh you just wait young tundraH I used to be 6 ft 4"
As you age the world weighs you down and your waist gets bigger one day you look in the mirror and your wider than you are high :haha:
Then you take up bocking and life changes :biggrin:
All kidding aside if you measure yourself first thing in the morning and last thing at night the two figures will be different as you shrink slightly through the day (I wonder if bocking makes you shorter :biggrin: all that landing must do)
Jason :Hoofies2:
-
Landing or falling jason? :nana:
-
Jeeze Im late to the party but dang that makes me worry about me fixing to start bocking haha! I know I will be in protective gear with these on.
A few months ago I had just had a small fit that my 8 year old brother was not wearing pads and a helmet while skating, skateboarding, biking, or being on his scooter, esp. in the same place where he fell on his scooter and broke his leg is TWO places...
well same yard... second hill... i go down it on my skateboard (i suck at skateboarding btw)... i got to going to fast and was headed for a pile of pipes so i bailed... bad idea haha. i did like three flips head first NO helmet or any pads! luckily i bent my neck so i didnt just bust my head open. i have a few scars from road rash, neck and shoulder still hurt some... but walked away laughing haha!
jeeze can't even imagine what injuries from the Poweriser Advanced 90120 Im trying to get will cause lol... yippes! :Cconfused: :Ceek: :Cmask:
-
none like skating, it's incredibly safe in comparison :Claugh:
-
ive seen this pic b4 but i didnt know it was your jason bet that hurt
-
It's ok to just call them bocks you know :D we are not that bothered about brands and weights. Just that you got bocks and are a bocker ;)
Anyhoo...all sports have risks. Skating down hills is probs unsafe compared to bocks. Get some good and comfy wristies and stuff and always wear them. They dont make you invinsible but will help. And don't try to run before you can walk ;)
:spudT:
-
I mentioned that more so if that was a problem someone experienced would say... WAY OUT OF YOUR WEIGHT RANGE, DON'T DO IT! lol
-
I didn't understand your weight lol...go google...anyhoo..you would be right. They are far out of your weight range...powerisers are known to be quite stiff too. I would go for 70-90s.
:spudT:
-
Bocking like anything is as dangerous as you want to make it :Claugh:
No Lynch it was suprisingly un-painfull I have had worst headaches (but I do get good headaches :Cbiggrin:) must have been the shock
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-

:spudT:
Sorry forgot about the metric system lol... about 69.3 kg...Dag man to late... just paid for the 90120's... hopefully I will be able to work with them :Cconfused:?
-
i understand stone lol.. But when its all in pounds it means nothing. At about 70kg you should have gone with 70-90s. Why did you choose 90-120s?
I have been on 90-120s. They are real stiff. Learning maybe a real struggle. But if you really stick at it you might be ok. But with springs so stiff it's gonna take a lot of effort, even if you are good. Would it be possible for you to change them? Poss look into getting softer springs and saving the 90-120s for when you are better. You can try the 90-120s bit i do think it will be very hatd for you.
:spudT:
-
LOL not used to being on UK forums, we gotta be all different over here in the US and go against the metric system ;)! I hear what you're sayin' but oddly enough I got an email at around 3:00am this morning that they shipped so it's to late to change it. I'll try them out, if it's to tough couldn't I maybe have a heavier person in that weight class, like my stepdad, wear them a little bit to break them in a little bit? Think that would help/matter at all?
-
We try to break in each others springs at meets. Tbh...it doesn't help all that much. Would have to be way over the weight class or really good and use them for a while for it to help much. As long as you know it will be hard and you keep working you should be able to do it. It will just take a lot of effort and time. But, it will come together eventually so just keep at it.
:spudT:
-
I have got to agree with Spud here the 90/120 are gonna be like walking on lumps of wood
I only know a couple of people who use springs 30kg over their weight and they are extreme like can do multiple flips so unless you are super fit they will hold you back big time and that might put you off
You might be better off asking if you can exchange them if you pay the postage
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Nope not fit at all! Lazy lump of nothingness actually lol... trying to change that with bocking. Dag sounds like I'm gonna be screwed :Cmask:?!?
-
i use springs 30kg over my body weight and think its the only way to go in all honesty, although i did learn on some softer springs.
i think learning the very basics like walking around etc is easier on heavy springs as its closer to static stilts, the kids in our group learnt on heavy sprung adult stilts and were walking REAL fast.
compressing them and keeping height on your bounces is gonna be the hard part, and its gonna be a monster workout for ya, but if you can stick with it, youll soon be getting some mad height

Thanks for the info. I got my bocks Friday and you folks were right they are TIGHT springs lol... I can only FORCE them to jump about 1 inch (2.54cm) lol! Walking is easy on them for sure, I just wish I was jumping already. Do you think they will loosen up enough for that soon? After how many years lol? kidding :)! Tried adding pics to the gallery but got nothing but error after error, did put pics on the poweriser pages forum though, they have not been accepted yet though.
I have them on my myspace too www.myspace.com/filmreelgirl and facebook http://www.facebook.com/people/Brandi-Nichole-Blanchard/528405662 - you gotta add me to see pics... no worries though, I don't bite... hard lol (joking) :Cwink:!
first video... pardon the southern accents lol...
Jason sorry to be posting under your ouchie topic :Cconfused:...
-
needs to be deleted... did something WRONG... ended up with double post
-
Update from my above post... the pics I uploaded are now on here and the poweriser pages forum. Nothing special yet really but still pics hehe!
-
hehe i can tell ur new :P u post like i used to :P all over the place :P hehe
nice vid and well done :D
welcome to the sport hope ur springs bend in soon thats when the fun starts :P
JASON my mum loves ur scar lmfao shes a nurse :P
-
there is some bend in the springs so you should soon be compressing them.... I also have heavy springs but they they are 7s so its not quite the same...
best of luck bocking :Cwink:
-
Your doing well RicochetBNB and don't worry about using this post it keeps it alive :Claugh:
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
well it lets more people see that you really do need wrist guards (hint hint to some of you XD)
-
Thanks all, and I DID have on wrist guards, knee and elbow pads too, and of course my helmet. But I had just taken them off when some of the pics were taken... still stupid I know though hehe!
-
dont worry i wear shorts and tshirt XD
im destind to be jason 2 :D yey
coz well jason i have quite a few scars myself (not from bocking) gals like scars ;P
-
gals like scars ;P
depending on where they are don't forget, i'd persionally get rid of a couple of mine, but meh :Claugh:
-
hmm i have 5 on one leg 2 on the other 2 on my right arm one on my head and a huge scar on my stomach :P
my gf thinks there quite hot XD
-
I'm really lucky with scars they vanish after a few years
I managed to stick a stanly knife into my leg (all of the blade ) and it was moving at some speed at the time so I ended up with a cut about 2 inches long and an inch deep (no stiches due to a lack of hospital) and you can hardly see the scar now
The one on my wrist will be almost unnoticable in a few years
The doctors always say that I heal to quickly (it can cause problems)
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
well i only just heal
i fell on floor minor graze it turned into a scar like omg!
-
Scars are nice, I have a lot myself, random things causing them, dog bites on each arm and my chin from dog bites from when I worked in a groom shop, good size road rash type scar (looks like a burn) on my shoulder from my skateboarding mishap lol (also my neck and shoulder still hurt from that and it was MONTHS ago), cuts all up and down my arms from various things... etc. I don't mind scars although when I took the steristrips off my chin I did freak a bit seeing a deepish scar on my chin, dunno why though... but it passed lol.
Knock on wood as of yet I have not had any stitches (except when wisdom teeth were cut out) although I think three time I was bite I needed them but they couldn't do them because of infection since they were dog bites. I was on 7 antibiotics at one time because of one bite once haha! Only one broken bone, right hand just below the knuckle of my pinky finger from punching my dirtbike because I was well... p!ssed :Cyes: lol!
-
You had to mention broken fingers didn't you Ricochet :Claugh:
Now wait for Toddys post taking the P out of me :Cbiggrin: and I still can't get my wedding ring on :Claugh:
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
If we're talking about scars, i've got an interesting one on my elbow. it's grey, and has dents in it.
I came off my bike on gravel :D lol, it's still got the little tiny particles of dirt in it, making it grey.
Took about a month to heal... haha... mind you, i did take most of the skin off of my elbow.
No bocking related injuries yet :D
-
No bocking related injuries yet :D
Go touch some wood you fool :P I have for you :D
Superstitious much! Blame my riding teacher ;)
:spudT:
-
Spud, you say that every time i claim i've not yet fallen over/injured myself, i never touch wood >:3
I'll believe you when i seriously injure myself for all these times when i haven't yet. :D
-
Now I wonder what the odds are of your first serious bocking fall being onto Wood of some form :Claugh:
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Touching some more wood for you! I just choose not to take the chance. Feeling pretty good atm since I found a four leaf clover in wales lol but anyhoo...let me put it this way. I think the mind is pretty powerful and control a lot of things. Much like the placebo effect.
:spudT:
-
@ Jason, i'll just have to stay away from wood then :P
@ Spud, i never find four leaf clovers :( my sister once found a 7 leaf one... O.o
-
You make it sound like a normal thing. You are not supposed to look for them. Sposed to be by accident. I was stupid with this one. I wasnt sure if it was clover so i picked a normal one then asked my dad. Then i couldn't find it again LMAO. Lucky it was bright and big and looking at me lol.
You don't believe in luck anyway :P 7 leafs? is that extra lucky??
:spudT:
-
Try standing up on bocks and picking 4 leave clovers lol! SPLIT :Straddle5: ! Then MORE scars :Ctongue:!
Btw I love telling people I'm working on bocking, or messing around with my bocks... everyone is like WTF are you talking about haha! My Mom says bocking sounds dirty and to call it like stilting or something lol!
-
This is so random. But yesterday I found another 4 leaf clover!!! Soooo random. It's not like it's freaky 4 leaf growing clover ground because one was in wales and one was here :Ceek:
I have to say people sometimes do think bocking is a dodgy thing :D
:spudT:
-
Stop looking for clovers lol :Claugh:! Yeah bocking does sound a little dirty I guess for folks who have no idea what it is lol. YOU BOCKER! Could probably get you in trouble I bet haha!
-
I havnt been looking for them at all! Weird lol. The word bocking is ok once people know what it is :)
