Anybody else taking part in this crazy idea?

The whole idea is that on the 15th May everybody should panic buy carrots, go to a supermarket and buy as many carrots as you can.
The whole crazy idea started off with a guy who thought it up when he was drunk and made a facebook group which has got over 230,000 members.

Anybody else this silly?

To solve the squeaking you should take them apart and cover all the brass bushings with copper grease or similar, if you don't have any copper grease then you could use wd40, squirt some on the joints then bounce around a bit, and repeat until squeaking has gone.

Taping the spring is to protect the spring from impacts, there is usually a thin covering over the springs but this get chipped very easily and if the spring gets chipped and damaged it will significantly lessen its life.

What time is everyone going to leave because i need to book my train tickets asap so i can get them cheap.

What should i go for:
6.15pm?
7.15pm?
8.15pm?

I think so, can't you just push the binding down and then tighten it so it doesn't dig in there?

I've never heard of this problem before but i'l try and help.

Firstly what shoes are you wearing?

Looks an amazing spot, looks a lot bigger on the video than i thought it was from the photo you put up.
You could spend hours there, looks like there is something for everyone, small jumps upto huge ones.

What is it actually?

Its a fountain but hasn't got the water in it at the moment, here is the photo of the whole thing XS posted:

There is a large group called B-bounce who own a gym in Bradfod, Stevie is the owner and normally welcomes people along to the gym. Send him a pm and see what he says.

Other than that use the search functions on the forum and put in Doncaster and other major towns around you and see who comes up

I am really not understanding this padding it with foam lark.
Surely this will make the problem worse, as it decreases the distance between the back of the leg and the spring mount, increasing the chance of impact?

It means that instead of impacting a solid peice of metal you impact a soft bit of foam and therefore reduces the bruising

Did anyone else notice Tex Redinger at 3:52 on the video short steve posted?

Welcome the world of bocking 

There are quite a few people in your area if you want to meet up, mitt joined a couple weeks ago and i'm pretty sure he is in Atlanta. To find the others do a quick search of Atlanta in the forum search and send a few pm's and emails to see if they are still bocking

Hope this helps and i'm looking forward to seeing your first steps

Woop!
Welcome to the forum and the lovley world of bocking!

There is a group of around 20 of us in total who have meet ups around the south coast, including: Bournemouth, Poole, Portsmouth, Southampton, Weymouth etc

Your more than welcome to come along to any meets we have and don't be worried that you aren't good enough, we have people joining all the time and therefore have some people who have just learnt to walk and jump and others who can do front and back flips.

As Q said check out the website and forum

Probably meet you sooner or later

Probably refering to chris and cosmic:

Yeah, your just being impatient.

Don't expect to be getting 6ft of air straight away, i've had my bocks for 18months now and i'm still only getting about 4-5ft.

Keep practicing and your technique will improve and get higher

How confidently are you landing your flips? 100% of the time? 50% of the time?

One thing I found quite fun was doing an X out front flip.
The way i learnt to do this was get a football or similar and put it between your feet, do a front flip and let go of the ball while in the flip, once you got this you can keep going and open your legs even more each time.

Apart from that the next step is backflips but that takes a lot of confidence to get over the fear of going over backwards 

What shoes have a sole bigger than an inch?

Have you got a picture of these groovy platform shoes you own
