I think I have finally found a place that I can train at and they have zero objections to my bocks  Grin. This weekend is Auckland anniversary weekend and there are lots of entertainers down at the waterfront. I was down there this morning on my bocks and got chatting to a couple of guys who were doing stilt walking. They were asking the usual questions and one of the guys was saying he really wanted a pair. He then went on to tell me about a circus school he runs nearby where I live. I asked if they have crash mats and they do!!!! I asked if I could come down to practice flips and stuff and he said yes!!!! All I need to do now is to persuade him to get some asap. So I will be going off to circus school every wednesday night  Grin Grin Grin

If you want some, make your own, don't buy them. It's a hell of a lot cheaper. All you need is some metal tubing, kevlar wick (somewhere like firetoys or beard will sell that), some chain, 2 swivels and some material to make the finger holds. Will cost you about £10 to make, compared to about £25 to buy them Smiley

I made my own, ended up being pretty damn expensive. Most of the cost was importing kevlar from New Zealand, and I used choke chains, which isn't necessary. Just go to a hardware store and they'll cut you a length.

Why import Kevlar from NZ? Surely they produce it in the States?

I hadn't found any, nor tried very hard. The prices weren't as good either as the ons i did find. Besides, i was buying things from there anyway.
