Hey, I've only bin at this a few weeks but all the stuff you could ever want to know is in here! Just spend the time reading through. I'm sure you will get loads of help off long standing bockers as well. :Cyes:
I found eBay good once you know what you want and if you don't have too much cash! :Cno:

Growing OLD is compulsory. Growing UP is optional. OPT OUT!

Bocking is amazing for making new friends, on friday alone i must have made about 20 :p just by people coming up to me, then talkign to them for a while about it, maybe letting them have a go.
There is also Bockers up and down the country so youll make loads of friends there :)

Ebay can be good. But I would never recommend it. The chances of buying crap, or badly worn bocks is too high. If it's ebay or nothing then go for it. But be careful.

Best bocks for a beginner are projumps. Great price and service. Don't bother with powerisers. If you got the budget then you might look at 7's.

Get along to some meets. Everybody is nice and we have a laugh. I dont know where your closest group is. But lol. Just got to a meet. Halloween bock in london should be a good one with people traveling from everywhere to go.

And...welcome to the forum :)
