In 2009 a world record will be broken

[cube60659]

I'd say quite a bit longer than that.  I'd put a one-way trip up around the 40 day range.  I don't think a person on bocks would ever average that speed over that amount of geography and in that time.  Every day isn't going to be a nice sunny day.  There will be days with torrential rain and strong winds.  There will also be long stretches of uphill bocking that will totally drain you.  Add to that the fact that your equipment may not be able to handle it and break in the middle of nowhere.  (I assume you won't be jumping much - but still..)

I would suggest a support car/van with supplies follow you, or at least meet up with you every few days.  Or arrange for people (resident bockers?) to meet you in various towns along the way for support.

I know you can do it and wish you luck.  I just think it is going to take longer than you think.  I'll be in NYC to greet you and buy you a beer.

that sounds cool i'm up for it


with the whole guinness book record they have to keep and eye on you so yeah i will have people in different towns and such

and no im going going to be bocking much just walking all my stuff is pretty light weight so i don't have to worry about that much 






some of the thing i am bringing look like this

With all that stuff you will be definately be walking and not bocking. I think after doing a 10k charity walk in London, I would confidently say that 50-60k would probably be the max distance in a day. I hope you achieve your goal but I suggest you spend a few days walking for 8 hrs a a day to work out what is a realistic distance for you to be able to cover.

Good Luck and keep us updated with your quest

i'v been working out for like 6 months almost none stop so i sould be good in that department

the steady cam seems a bit over kill just get a cam with good image stabilization and you'll be fine

the steady cam has multiple uses see while im on the road i will be doing a live web blog while im on my way and i will be using it while i walk most of the time these videos are going to be on youtube and i will probably make them every day i am on the road + it only weighs about half a lb so i should have no problem with any thing .........well with one thing ............sleeping bag having trouble finding how to pack it with out it getting in the way


any way im off to bed at 2:00 in the afternoon my time  ::)all nighters suck

you're crazy! 

'Start by doing what's necessary then do what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible'

best of luck!

[mikey]

when you go your gonna have to post the link/web name of your live cam feed so we can watch it

[magzzie]

mate you are mad like the rest of the bockers but you are bringing a whole new level of bocking good on you

[badambomas]

ummm.....


well all i can say is "Good Luck! mate"

your gonna need it.

[janelle]

OMG all i got to say is a very good luck to you, like ET said, we did a 10 k walk in about 5 hours. You are going to find it very difficult and you Will struggle with that amount of mileage in  a short amount of time, but if you are going to try it then i wish you all the best.... jelly x

[cube60659]

i would like to thank all of you for the support and when the day comes you all will get the link to the webpage/youtube and everything else and i hope to see you guys around ................im going to make shur to come into PoweriserPages.com more offen  like i have been doing



note: i am also thinking of getting new bocks from http://www.xtremeimportz.com/UP-WING_jumping_stilts.html to do this ......................the are lighter but i don't really like the design 

[Bouncer_Kape]

All I can say is that I hope you do it. I'll be waiting for you in Texas to Root you on!

[mikey]

yeah get the up-wings...you will find they are more comfortable.

[cube60659]

yeah get the up-wings...you will find they are more comfortable.

do you have a pair? and if you do do they work out well ?

[XarnuSonci]

you can't get them from xtreme importz, they can't legally sell to the us, but by the time you do this, the legal US sellers should have them

[Judge Mental]

You dont need bocks for extreme jumps. Just for walking/trotting you could use bocks that weigh a quarter the weight. Get carbon fibre frames custom made, this is how distance records will be set. Good luck
