@Brendan - Don't worry about writing so much, I'm a bit of a keyboard-warrior myself! Aye, I actually hail from a wee fishing village that consists of a harbour, two beaches, and a promenade!
So, I'll probably nip down to the beach and bounce along the dunes - won't the sand affect the stilts, though?
Also - is it possible to get as good a bounce on sand as it is on, say, concrete/wooden floor/etc.?
I'm basically hoping to start flipping between June and August, as I'll be home that whole time, working at night, and bocking at light!
@Jason - I'll get the video camera going, don't worry!
I'll keep videoing, and then switch it off just before I manage the flip.
Undisputed evidence, obviously!
@ALL
- I've asked the gym at my uni for access to the hall, and to borrow some gymnastics mats for bouncing on, and crash mats for landing on. However, I was also looking online at buying my own crash mats, they're £250 for a decent one! even e-bay and gumtree proved fruitless! Normally, I don't play the "poor student" card, but... I'm a student, and I got bills to pay! I get £1200 at the start of June, and I have to pay £800 rent, plus car insurance, plus petrol, plus food...
Also: I'm much too far away [Edinburgh] to attend most of your gym meets, but thanks for the offers!
[Feel better, Brendan - I'm sure this is as long as, if not longer than, your post!
