Got my ProJumps today...and they are awesome.
Only problem is it hasn't stopped raining all day

therefore I couldn't go out on them.
Just as the title says, Just my luck...

Hopefully can get out on them tomorrow though, i've got the whole day off so fingers crossed

I would much rather be telling you all a story about how i fell off or how i did my first jump, but that will all come soon!

Not going into details but in took weeks to get my pair, and when I did it rained for the week

Still by the time I could go out I had worked out how to put them on and off

Shyatt · « **Reply #2 on:** June 03, 2008, 05:37:27 PM »

Ahhh, well luckily I already know how to put mine on and take them off.
I can also walk around in them confidently and jog on the spot.
(Yes i was so eager to use them that i walked around my living room on them for about half an hour

) Can you blame me...?
Just can't wait to get involved with some of the meets

Bocking inside is dangerous !!!
Tables, Chairs, TV's, Door frames even light fittings ( I've hit a light before !? )
If your still a newbie your even more likely to hurt yourself.
Brake your leg now on a table and you'll not be bocking for weeks !

Ahh yes but i do know my limits... i'm not quite able to do somersaults in the house just yet

Besides, my living has plenty of open space, it's a rather big living room. We've always taken pride in it

Mine are still in North Carolina, on their way to California

That's like three whole Englands away from me!!

Shyatt · « **Reply #6 on:** June 03, 2008, 07:29:12 PM »

Ahh well you'll get them in a few days. And the wether in north california tends to be slightly better than the weather in england, so you'll be on them before i am!

Hope to get out tomorrow though, says theres no rain.

Shyatt · « **Reply #8 on:** June 03, 2008, 08:29:03 PM »

All day bocking for me

Can't wait

I don't think the weather is trying to stop us bocking, it's trying to drown us!
At least you guys CAN go out, still don't have mine (although they aren't quite 3 Englands away, unless the driver is extra special)

Shyatt · « **Reply #10 on:** June 03, 2008, 10:29:48 PM »

Well all DHL drivers are "special"...
So it's possible. You should get yours tomorrow, hopefully.
Then we can all go out skipping in fields of daisies... of just on concrete, might be easier.

Or maybe in a lake, as there is a fair bit of standing water outside my window, and thats on GRASS!

But here's hoping
And that's hoping (as in hope) not hopping, but lets hope for that too

Shyatt · « **Reply #12 on:** June 03, 2008, 10:43:13 PM »

If they come tomorrow you gotta come bandstand with me and Curly.
Obviously after your TWO exams HA!
I have none

Day to myself tomorrow, WOO!
Sorry to tease.

You guys dont know how lucky you are. When me and jono forst got our in Oct 2006 I think it was raining so much we were lucky to get out once a month!

Shyatt · « **Reply #15 on:** June 06, 2008, 10:45:03 AM »

Well what can i say...

I'm an eager person by nature

But the weather has been awesome these past few days... forecasted rain, but actually hot and sunny.
I think it's starting to like us.

Shame I could say the same. Skanky weather here

Shyatt · « **Reply #17 on:** June 06, 2008, 10:55:31 AM »

Awww hehe

Well ove the past 2 days I have learnt to walk and run on my bocks.
Still not full confident in running, but getting there.

Now i just want to mod my bocks with tyre socks and spring covers.
All these posts in the mods section about best way to do spring covers is confusing me lol.
Some say take spring off, some say take off at top, some say bottom.
I just don't know!! Brain Melt!
lol
Rambles...

OK so it's been a few days, and...
I have modded my bocks, they now have tyre socks and gaffa tape on the springs.

In the way of practice, i haven't had loads, but I am now able to run alright...
and today i did my first two footed jump over the box that the PJ's came in.
So i am deinfitely getting better on them.
Just need to slowly increase the height of what i jump over... i'll be pro in no time

May be able to get a short clip of me jumping on soon so that any comments or tips can be given
