small addidas trainers...
« on: April 22, 2008, 12:32:42 PM »
Hi all hows ya bockin?

I been reading through on here and looking at all the pics youv'e been sending in, and on one of them is a picture of someone putting their addidas trainer around the the hoof of his powerizer!!!...

Then started thinkin, what if I bought a childs pair of smart addidas running shoes, cut off the back sole and trimmed down the sides... used the remaining lace to tie off at the very bottom whilst gettin some nice silver jubille clips for the around the top part of the hoof to finish the job...

We use trainers everyday, not only do they hold up to us running walking and jumping but they will also allow for other options aswell... ie sticking studs to the bottom for off road uses (game of footie, believe me its possible, did it the other day mate) plus u could look at it as a bit of sponsorship from the name brand at the same time too lol...

Im gonna try a few pair soon as my pay comes in and i'll let ya know what I find... What works an what doesn't... in a bit.Mike

size isn't the problem ere as the sides of the trainers will all be cut to shape, im reckoning they'll prob have open sides by the time im finished wiv em... also, my hoofs on my springs are gonna be shaped slightly at the front to accomodate the curviture (lol big words, love em!) of the shoe... so they'll be rounded slightly at the front aswell!!!

just ordering some new hoofs of projump right now... whaddya fink lads?

You may not have to mod the trainers if you get the right sort of ones...

The idea was accidently stumbled upon by Q who originally thought he got a good deal on e-bay  £6 for converse hi tops. Turned out they were kids size 11!

But when he started to make conventional tyre sox, cutting thru tyre, he broke the blade, which went spinning past his head, so he thought, sod that! And tried the trainers, more in hope than expectation.

But he found the canvas stretched and really gripped the hoof OK. Since then he has tried adult trainers, but found then horribly 'squidgy'. The thin kiddy converse one is right, needs to be hi top or slip off.

I think Q just ties them with the laces as he uses the kids ones, they just fit snugly.

Nice one... :thumbs: thanks for advice...

A was thinking more in the way of a tough leather football boot and instead of trying to make the hoof fit just cut it down at the edges as if it moulds into the trainer...! either way, done right I reckon this'll make another step towards advancement and upgrading...

I'll make sure I spend some time doing it an not rush... u kno what these things can get like if u just slap em on... I went sideways the other day in my tiresocks due to the open sides... hmmm an also!!! eh eh how do I get from been a noob on ere - to been an elite member...? do u work it out on how long someones been a member??? lol... mike

If you come up with a good design and make a tutorial we will al be copying you  :thumbs: Sounds like you are going to do a good job  :thumbs:

I am pretty sure the noob-elite member thing is based on post count

Sounds great, you should try it all ideas are great and may work out as a great advancement, make sure you take pictures and do a tutorial on the way for everyone to follow if you can  :thumbs:

About the status, don't worry about it, we think of everyone as elite members in their own right, the learning curve is so short these days that some people bocking for just a few months often overtake people bocking for years in the extreme stuff. Some people bock for other reasons, and concentrate on it for fun or as a way of improving their health, either way every member is just as important as the next one! Just carry on posting on the forum, share your experiences, pics, vids, advise and soon people will see you as someone they can rely on  for advise :)

There is the status that comes with post count as Spud mentioned but thats something that is default on the forum and I can't change it but really it just indicates how much someone posts!

I think it's spelled curvature... and it's not a particularly long word. :rolleyes:
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is a long word. Its' creator was clearly a fan of irony.

Anyway... I really like the idea of putting shoes over the hooves. But your method seems like a needless amount or work and modification. I like the pic that Hex posted a while ago. If the shoe is small enough for a snug fit, why modify it? If you're going to cut the trainer up you might as well use one of the other hoofie designs.

That said, I hope it works out for you. Experimentation and creativity are good traits to have. :) Good luck! :)

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.

i think you will catch it to start with but you should soon adapt and bring your legs up higher though
and just to join the fun the longest word in my vocab is ecnopharmecological, which is the name given to man made drugs like lsd.
