I think I would like to have a go at fire poi  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  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.

Hey everyone just an update. I got a full cast on today ( i used to have just a cloth half cast) and it is white ( getting someone to paint it  ) Apparently all is healing up well. However the metal rod preventing my arm from rotating had to be left in  I have after pictures now with the rod and metal plate in my arm, will post in gallery soon.

Ha ha, good but SO energy inefficient for the amount you travel  If energy efficiency was important, we'd all trade in our bocks for bikes. And then trade the bikes for cars and pollute the planet!  He said energy EFFICIENT!

Hope you were wearing pads! (ha beat lukey)  But yea like RG said it makes things way easier. But with the scrapes and all it sounds like it was relatively tough on you. Not many falls cause injury, and if you fell forward your bocks should be fine. Doubt it will be the last for you.

Powerising / Learning Tips / Re: Using "Towel Spotters" to learn tricks

Ok coach theres a lot you don't know about bocking. The majority of this whole idea is impractical for a few reasons. 1. When a person is jumping, odds are they won't have the greatest amount of control, so they will be landing in many different places, meaning the spotter won't be able to keep control and stand by him. 2. These stilts can propel you high enough into the air that it would be hard for the spotter to hold on. 3. It is preferred to have momentum when flipping, because jumping in place won't get you the proper height.
In all, the spotter will get hurt, and the bocker will get held back.
Gymnastic practices change a great deal when you have 9lb (4.5kg or something) spring loaded stilts attached to your legs. That has to be kept in mind.

Well there are already methods out there like using a bike inner tube over the spring which i find works well. It has been discussed here before, but I don't think anyone put it to action. Let me find it.
Edit: arg I give up. It was like 6 months ago when i saw this.
