« on: June 05, 2008, 12:21:59 PM »
Hello everyone my names Steve im 21 and live in Milton Keynes, i bought me and my younger brother a set of Pro Jumps this morning, so will be bocking around tomorow trying to get my balance and practising getting up, after watching the vids it looks rather hard.
a quick question, is it possibel to stand still (with no support) on Boks?

Welcome. It isnt possible to stand still on bocks because of the small surface area of the hoof.

Getting up isnt easy. Lots of tutorials on here tho.

Where abouts are you from?

You are not all that alone..They are a few your way. Sure they will say hi at some point.

Have fun and be safe  :thumbs:

Also have a good read of the forum if you get a chance. You will find it is full of useful info. have you looked at the mods section? I would start there. there are a few mods most people see as essential

Well done Athoul

erm 1 observation.  How long has barnstable been near Milton keynes?  How moved it from Devon, when  and WHY WAS I NOT TOLD??!!!!!

Erm did you mean to Bedfordshire?

Oh and a warning, some of these people are no longer active and may possibly not bock anymore --the fools

Oops, my bad!

It was meant to be Dunstable, Changed it now  :)

I've also just noticed that all links to poweriser-pages are automatically changed to pp making the links invalid :(

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Was a very good day. And i too feel a lot more confident on my bocks.
Haven't yet spoken to him, but i will keep checking the other forum to see if he's on.
Should be good if we can get out with a lot more people.

P.S. I will bring my water bag along this time  ;D
Yeah i think that would be a good idea  :thumbs:

Definitely. We need the people from the other forum to come as well.
Should start trying to organise a meet in the near future.
See how many people would be prepared to turn up.
