broke my bocks :( plz help

[derbidrd]

hi everyone

i haven't really been active on this site but i could use some help lol

last year i brought some bocks off ebay lol just brought a cheap pair because i wanted to try them before i spent loads!!!!!

i brought them towards the end of the year where the weather was terrible so i only spent about two weeks on them the last time i used them i jumped off a ledge only about 2 foot high but i lost control in the air and landed really funny and cracked the metal on the bar that hold the hoof in place!!!

when i did it i thought bugger it i'll get them fixed next year because the weather was starting to get bad!!

anyway the sun was out today and i really fancied gettin them out but i forgot i broke them, i got them out and saw the crack again i put them on anyway and had a quick go on them just walking and a slight jog and small jumps (dont dare do anything else)

anyway i really wanna get back into powerbocking so i wanna know where can i get the part from to replace what i stupidly broke???

oh and they say on them they're 'jumper units' as i said i brought a cheap version lol. they do work pretty well though so cant complain they set me back like £80  anyway they look the closest to me like the pro-jumps. dunno if every set has the same fitting parts and i havent got enough money to buy another set of bocks so any help where to get the bit from would be appreciated

cheers

It's a standard part and you should be able to use that part from most stilts. The part might differ some but not so much that they are moddable

yeah pj should beable to hook you up with a new foot for not much

[derbidrd]

ok cool thats a relief to hear lol how do i get in contact with him lol???

PJ being Pro-Jumps, a retailer.

You might want to PM "Naz", who is a member here for some purchasing assistance just to make sure it will fit your stilts.  Pretty sure it will.

DON'T BOCK ANY MORE WITH THAT
It will snap completely, damaging the end of the spring in the process.

Your bocks are poweriZers, right? A lot have had the problem of snapping along that bend, I think it's a major weak spot on their frames that needs fixing. No other brand has that bend in the hoof, and no other brand has snapped at that point as far as I am aware.

As Bill said, Grab a new hoof from Pro-Jump and you'll be ready to go

ok cheers 

i'll get it ordered as soon as i get money lol which won't be long lol payday is soon

cant wait to start bocking again

thanks for all the help

I am (sort) of the same. I decided to go for the cheap pair to test them out and see how i felt before i would go to the more expensive pair. Mine haven't snapped (yet), but im bracing myself for something exactly like this happening to me. I could tell they were a cheap pair as soon i looked at a form somewhere on here, which showed the hoof frame bending just before the bolts came. Looks like i just have to wait and be prepared!

[Bill C.]

The bend in the frame near the hoof is not damage -- it is the way the hoof frame on some some brands were intentionally designed.  Might break, might not.  Don't worry about it if you don't see an actual crack forming.

Oh ok. I'll stay calm for now . Might be getting some new bocks for my birthday...not sure yet. I was thinking about 7Leauges...?

[derbidrd]

myn didnt do them over time lol they are pretty sturdy which i was supried at but i fell about 4 foot all in all of a 2 footish ledge and landed on my side  lol i think its just the way i landed that broke them i couldnt walk right for about a week after so it was a really nasty fall  hope it dont happen again when i get them fixed lmao

[bocking mad]

There was a short run of bocks with that type of foot.
There have been a redesigned foot sent out to replace it,
i dont think you will have to much of a problem getting a new one.

[derbidrd]

well i ordered one off pro-jump from the indented generation  so hopefully it should fit lol soon i'll find out the pica all look the same lol

[Athoul]

Cool, soon be back out in the glorious sunshine then.

Where abouts are you, there may be a group local to you

[derbidrd]

right sorry i haven't been on in a while pc started playin up lol.

i ordered the part and it fitted perfect so i was happy. its been completly redesigned as some one said erlier said in the thread so i have decided to order one for the other side as they look alot stronger. that should stop any nasty cracks in the future lol.

anway i live in swadlicote near burton on trent

no one around here has bocks from what ive seen lol but i'm trying to get my friends to buy some when the get some spare cash lol

anyway thanks for al the help everyone i can bock again lol
