Random Uni Bocking



http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=1526

I posted this on facebook and Spud said I should put it on here. So here it is.

It's a bit samey but meh, it shows some flips on my new T-Rex springs and also attempts at re-learning some moves, like pikes and side-kicks. Both of which I used to be able to do well, and now can't do at all :(

:D not bad, but it's obvious you're still at the holy crap these kick kinda hard stage, shouldn't take too long to get past, just gotta keep at it, and give your back some rest when it needs it

Your campus makes mine look like a dump. lol. Nice vid. =)
Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

Hey, I think you should watch like, a really good bocker's front flip in slow motion. They do not put their arms up while coming down to do the flip, their arms are at their sides. They then push up with their arms and throw into a tuck, you do not.

I think if you perfected the method I explained maybe on a trampoline, your fronts on your bocks will get a lot more height and you will not fall....

IMHO

still, I can't do fronts on my bocks, but I can do them on the ground. But I do not have a gym anyway so i dont think Ill be trying one soon....

Great video!

that's how i try to do my fronts btw, every time i pull a sprog, and launch with my arms already up, then tthrow...it hurts, the few successful one's i've had i've jumped up normally, on the take off used arms to get more height, then tucked.  It feels like you get mroe height at least XD
