Glad you had fun

But get outside --think about   if you fall over ---are you going to fall onto your bed?  or the edge of a desk or door handle

[mikey]

ooh gruesome!

i tried putting them on with no shoes once...didnt work though. the straps didnt get tight enough around my feet

love the piccy of it in your bed thats where q suggested to hide mine

[bmthbloke]

re no shoes   I experimented last year, but didnt finish.

1st to get the bindings tight --the ol flip flop on foot plate ( where the idea which short asses may now use originally comes from)
2Using cacble tyes, attach extra padding to the binding straps ( some form of bendy foam
3 the big prob --I didnt get round to solving --some form of foam needs to go on the heal area   or you get rubbed hidiously raw

So if any1 wants to continue with the experiments, so one can just wear flip flops or go barefoot in summer on bocks --rather than wear hot stinky trainers

[mikey]

well you will have to get a comfortable foam as it will be against your foot, 2nd you wouldnt want to use cable tyes...cause if that gets rubbing on your foot...OUCH..maybe use some sort of glue?

[bmthbloke]

no cable ties OK  cos they 'pinch' into the foam ( or stuff Iused) and dont touch the skin

What up yall?!?!

I am new to powerising and this website!  I found out about these things about a year ago and haven't had much luck in finding anyone who knows anything about them.  No one in the US seems to know anything about powerisers.   Nonetheless I bought them and LOVE THEM!

I am looking for places and people to practice with but am having trouble.  I found this place and figured I would give it a shot!

ROCK OUT BABY!!!

Hello!

Im Kris, found out about this site and jsut ha to register.  Very new to bocking, but i learn fast and got pretty damn good balance. 

I am currently using my brothers 06 model powerisers when he lets me, as my new and improved 07 PR90120 is ordered but not arrived.  At first i found them silly tbh, then he talked me into trying, and knowing my buttons and getting me into a competitive mood i did, was running around the backyard 2 minutes later.  Been on them 5 times now, and today i fell over while running and managed to scrape off most my skin on my right elbow as well as my left palm.  Being as persistant as i am that only motivated me to get right back up and keep running, to my best friends amazement.  (he is rly scared of hights and hoped i wud hurt myself and get demotivated as im making him buy a pair as well ) 

Anybody know if there is any other bockers in or around Oslo? never seen anyone other than me and my brother -.-

Welcome to our forum!  I hope you find it useful.  Just some advice, you should have some pads while you're learning.

I have no idea if there is anyone near you, but you should check the member map first.

[Kris]

I would love to have had pads, problem is i got none, but they are on their way, ordered them the other day.  but cant let a lack of pads stop me from practising, i never actually think im going to fall over so :S

[Lukey]

but cant let a lack of pads stop me from practising, i never actually think im going to fall over so

Um, yeah you can let it stop you, check out my sig for a painful reminder! In regards to thinking about falling over well normally you dont get that luxury you're on the way down and then you start to think about wether you want to land on your face or padless wrists/arms/elbows.
