Wow what an achievement.....sounds like a great day

[Athoul]

Leom either say something nice or don't say anything at all

You had a go at Becky for no justified reason in the chatroom the other night so don't bring it onto the forum aswell

[Sprog]

omg lol thats well funny see them all hopping and the ones that were jumping wasent getting any hight apart from the 1s from the back lol and if ya gona run then run fast

HAHAHA YOU CAN'T WRITE IN PROPER ENGLISH. TWAT.

[DangerMike]

yeah i was one of the ones at the back
we wernt even trying to jump high cuz we didnt have enought room and werent even sure when the camera was on

and as for running fast i was at least 50sec - a minute ahead of evern one else when we got to the half way mark
and i am currently the world record holder for the 400m sprint.

so think before u say..

was a good day

[Becky]

We were asked not to jump too high as we would shoot out the top of the frame. We had a mixture of levels of Bockers there, all of whom were Scouts. The event was not to show off high jumps and tricks, but to run a mile for charity. No Scout was turned away from this event. This community thrives on being friendly and open to all levels of bockers, not selective on who can and cant take part in things.

As for running fast, we had already taken part in one mile by the time they filmed that shot, and we agreed as a group not to try to run fast, but to support each other along the run. Some people ran others walked, it wasnt a race, it was a personal challenge. For people like DangerMike the challenge was to see if he could run to the half way point without stopping, for others it was a challenge to walk the entire mile! We regrouped at several points and crossed the finish line together. The whole event was for charity not for personal gain, so noone saw the point of trying to be the first to finish, the fastest runner or the highest jumper!

Leom if you have a problem with me please take it up with me, you have never mentioned any problem to me, so I would be interested to hear from you. Talking to other people in chat about me isnt the best way to solve a problem.

[Claire]

Leom,you have not had permision to use that photo of me, and you can not use our name to mock others, if you are who i think you are please stop this now and take my photo of your name tag, you are not a full member of b bounce, and if you want to be you are not showing respect, Stevie will be very upset when he reads this, he has a lot of respect on this forum, and has worked hard to promote the sport and make friends with other bockers, Becky has, and we hope will still in the future work as part of our team b Bounce, she appeared on Britains got talent with us, and is a personal friend of Stevie,
 again if you are who i think you are i must again ask you to stop this nonsence at once and phone Stevie, you are doing youself and the good name of our team no favours acting in this manner.
 
 Becky, im not 100% sure yet who this is, but i think i do, i think its a newbe who trains at our gym and stevie has taken him under his wing to help him progress, but this will not do, and i can only ask you to understand he is a youngster who doesnt quite understand the way we work,its no excuse, and i didn't no he'd been in the chat room, or even on the forum,

 this will be sorted.

[stevie]

I am stuck for words, i had no idea that this was going on, this has brought about discrace to my name, i havn't spoken to the rest of the team yet as it 5 am, but i will later today.

 if this has caused harm or distress to any member on this forum, then i will close my account,

the actions of the scouts and other groups that took part in the charity walk was for just a few reasons, the sport, and pride to do something for others, and feel good about what they had achieved,

no one has the right to name themselves as part of an organisation, they have to earn the right,
and i am afraid that on this occasion some one is trying to run before they can walk.

i can't think of anything more to say at the moment, im in shock that someone has done this in my name.

[XarnuSonci]

um... i think you guys are taking one unpleasant comment by an immature kid way to seriously, relax, we told him he's being rude, if he keeps it up he won't be long for this site.  Steve you and the team are well known and respected here and one punk kid who's name happens to say bbounce couldn't tarnish that.

[GladHippo]

Yeah i agree, dont worry about that kid, you guys are well known and as great bunch, you guys did good. and as for that kid with the bad coments, he obviously doesnt know the true meaning of this sport. there is always one, lol. 

[stevie]

Thankyou for puting it that way, but stil, it will be sorted out, and i do feel it for those involved.

[nikki]

Is there no way you can delete the comments XS??
That would put an end to it and no one would know any different.
Apart from us who have read it or was in chat that night AND becky but you know what they say.....
"out of sight, out of mind"

I can see a problem if you leave it up there you see. If someone wanted to hire B-Bounce and read that they wouldnt bother as it does make the name look bad to someone who doesnt know. Do you see what i mean??

I know i babble alot so i'll shut up now!! lol

Nikki X

[stevie]

thanks for that niki, i did ask for it to be sorted out, i have now spoken to the young man in question, and he is not one of our team, 

  someone posing as a team member posted a remark that was not true, he does train with us from time to time, and has shown the energy required to join us, but he must now show respect and earn the right to be part of any team.

  i can't help it if someone choses to call themeselves whatever, and i am bitter about thev way he did it, this forum like others, gives freedom of speach, but there is a point when it has to stop.

 i just want to say again, that we had nothing to do with the posting of the remarks that were made, and we as a team are discusted at it.

[Sprog]

Stevie, it is nice to see you active on the forum again, shame it is under such circumstances. Thanks for reassuring us and I hope this doesn't happen again.

How are the team doing? Haven't heard from Zeb or Brucie in a long time...
