Jumpin Jim the new Bocker in town!
« on: January 06, 2009, 12:43:13 PM »
Hi Guys,

Got a new pair of Powerstriders for Christmas an i'm Hooked! Signed up to the pp an some very nice people told me to sign up here to. I live in Peterborough so would love to take part in any of the EA Bockers Meets!

I'M not great but would llove to get better! I've set my self a goal of being able to do a back flip within 3 months!  :Straddle5:

If any one (other than Chocl8 haha,  ;) ) lives near peterborough an wants to hang out for a beer an a Bock hit me up.

JJ

:D good luck with the backflip target, though i've seen someone do them in less time

and drink bocking is bad kiddies, don't do it, or at least save the beer till after the days bocking is done

Ha Ha, Well I thought due to the weather 3 months was a good time scale... If I do it sooner its all good!

I know what you mean! I stick to one simple rule:

"Do not operate heavy machinery while under the influence!" LOL..

Works for most things!

Hey Jumpin Jim  ;) Glad to see you on here..
The next big meet we have is in Lincoln, I am trying to organise transport for people ;) Sprog and pick people up from P'bro if you are interested  :thumbs:

http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2849.0

As for backflips, Its a pretty big target. I can't change your mind but dont put pressure on yourself to do it before you are ready or you might have an accident. but good news is you are around some great people that will be able to help you when you are  ;)

Welcome to the forum and the EA bockers   :biggrin:

if you talk to carl, chocl8 (tim) or greg11 they do mos the backflips and are EAs, greg is injured atm so he wouldnt beable to spot you for floor backflips but im sure carl and tim would at a meet and have you fliiping in no time. but its a big target so dont push yourself too hard but im sue you can get their =]

Thanks For the vote of confidence Mini.

When I first got on them I didn't think I would even be able to stand up! However, I was runing around within a couple hours, so I think 3 mths is a reasonable target! I try to push myself in most things an have been a keen snowboarder for a few years now so have pretty good balance. But we'll see.. LOL

Look forward to meeting all you Guy's & Girls in Feb!
