Bockers hit the bay (welsh bockers might be interested)
« on: August 13, 2009, 07:16:11 PM »
Myself (mark), Haydn and Sam have been to Abersoch, north wales today. we were snapped by a magazine called "sensation". We were there for about 2 hours and in that time we seemed to entertain the passers by.

A new craze which has swept the UK over the last few months Years will be coming to North Wales over the next few weeks. www.welshbockers.co.uk The Welsh Bockers are sports organisation a regional club and display team involved in training and showcasing the skills of "bockers" - young athletes people on high tech spring loaded footwear stilts that through the skilled use of the wearer enables them to spring Jump to massive hights heights and perform astounding gymnastic tricks.

Training sessions can be are organised through the website and dates for their visit can be checked upon request on the forum. Anyone into cutting edge sport will truly love bocking. Our photographer snapped Matt Mark, Hayden and Sam today down by the beach who were getting some practice in on their bocking skills!

You guys are too critical. Since when do newspapers and magazines get all the facts right anyway? They dont care, its marketing and whatever makes a good article is all they care about lol.

Personally considering this was the 3rd time the north wales guys have ever been out, I think its a really great article and they are doing a smashing job :)

Thanks for posting it up Mark, I mean Matt lol. Wait whats wrong with Matt??

It's positive, thats the most important thing. If the facts arn't 100% perfect who cares. What is important is that it is interesting and the tools are there for people to find more (accurate :D ) info :)

Well done :)
