First Fall

[ForestMunch]

This may bring memories for many but i went for my first "big" jump around today having had the jumpers for near enough a month.  Took my mrs 4 year old daughter out with me and it was only a matter of time until it happened.  I thought it would have hurt but i somehow managed to dive into a forward roll and take out a bin with me and then fell another 3 times and didn't hurt myself surprisingly.  Stupidly though i wasn't wearing safety gear as i couldn't find it but for future reference, wrist guards i see, is a must!
Anyone had any dramatic falls yet?  I was going to try some flips etc on the grass but it was way too soft to get decent height.  Only a matter of time..........

You should always keep your pads with your stilt !?
If you can't find your pads .... doesn't matter !?
Because you can't find your stilts

true, the pads are with my skates which are still up at my dad's house (somewhere).  haven't gone to get them since moving in with the mrs.  Maybe a trip to the old home is needed?

I got protection even before I got my bocks, and only really wear my wrist guards, but my new calf cuff design has a integrated knee pad system built in, so I am always wearing knee pads!!
