Capital Bocking Aug 16+17th 2008

[Locky]

A new site has gone up at www.capitalbocking.com

Presently it only has details about the uk event but I'll get details for the US and Australia events as soon as they are put in place and given to me. I know most people who are on PJF are uk based but this might still be relavent to some people abroad.

This year is undoubtably going to be massive for Capital Bocking and I think its great that we keep it commercial free with no sponsors etc

The site will be continuously updated over the months to come but I must stress that updated info may not get posted on individual forums etc. This is just so there is no confusion and all information is on one site.

That looks like serious fun!! I want to go.

Sorry ---its not 4 girls -------only joking 

[Spud]

How many girls are there who are on this forum? Its seems to be (another) male dominated sport. Ho hum lol. Proberly due to the fact most girls would rather be shopping than breaking nails.

[Locky]

The number of girls in the sport is always growing.

But as an example of last years Capital Bocking in London here are 2 pics. One is of all 70 of us and one is of all the female bockers that went.

[Spud]

Male dominated but not too bad. I try to promote females taking part in some of my other sports but then the guys think I am sexist because I want a female only event or something. Ok it might be a little but but i'm hoping it will get some press coverage and make the sport more appealing to women.

[Locky]

Absolutely. We only have 3 girls in the welsh bockers and whenever we're doing a tv or media thing I always make sure the girls are upfront and getting attention

[webmaster]

Theres a quite a few in the Essex Bockers but they don't really come on the forums, I'm sure Becky can give us some numbers

You should tell girls that it can be a good aerobic workout and it's very good at tones the whole of the leg area ( I can't think of any bocker one with a fat ar~~    ).
 

[Spud]

That might just about work lol.

If Becky said flip ....... I'd more than likely break my neck 

[Spud]

What's the name of the girl 4th from our left ? Not saying why, but I blame Becky she dared me

[Locky]

Not tell you until you say why lol!

[webmaster]

I totally agree with you Spud, Im female, and when I was younger I was always regarded as a tomboy as I prefered the popular male sports rather than netball    & stuff like bungee jumping, paragliding, etc

My really "girly" mate just tried parasailing recently after I nagged her just to give it a go, she loved it so much she was like why didnt you nag me earlier lol

I think its just a matter of giving it a chance   ( thats the hard part getting women to change our minds hehe)

[Sx Nutta]

I am more of a girly bloke, lol I am always doing something odd or just plain dangerous, I should be called the flammable bocker, as I am bound to set myself on fire one day, lol Just do not ask why I am a girly bloke!! lol

[Spud]

Are you into juggling then? I set fire to a fire club the other day. Panicked and ran around my front garden like a loony not knowing what to do. too much parifin and it was windy.

Fire Poi, Fire Staff, Fire diabolio and Fire breathing, I preffer fire staff as you can do burnoffs, and have 2 massive fire balls coming off the staff, lol, will have to meet you spud and go for a good burn, lol 

[Spud]

Well up for that. I like fire poi but I found that the diablo I used was a bit of a let down. Did not look as impressive as other fire things. Well want to fire breathe. Just not sure how to start lol.

I can teach you at the next meet, if you go along, bring a bottle to water, and I will bring a small bottle of parrafin and my fire wand, and do some fire breathing in a park!! Hear that magz I want to go to a park for some fire breathing!!!!

[Spud]

That would be fantastic if you could! Hope to see you at the next meet!
