Oh, I was all set to reply to this with "Wow, already? that sucks!" but it appears this is an old scar, rather than a bock-related one

Kiola and XS have the right ideas, I think.  On this forum are a few mods about replacing the knee bar padding.  The pads that XS wears go from above the knee to mid-shin, so they'd probably do the trick too.

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.

I havnt fallen yet.
So i dont know how to get up yet.
Im hoping to learn on the JJ's meet though on sunday!! eeeekkkkk.

Take the time, next time you're out on your bocks.

Find something you can use to help yourself stand up, then slowly lower yourself down to the ground and try to stand up unassisted.

It's the single most important skill to a bocker, in my opinion.

Really Kender?  I heard she was so easy she never needed to.

Steel, as in steel leaf springs in cars.

Rubber, I've heard that your mother is too fat to leave her bed, care to elaborate?

Im hoping in the process Ill attract some crowds and excitment around town to get PR for the trampoline / Acrobatics and Dance school I own

Man, I wish there was a facility like yours near me for winter training.

You and me Both, Bill.

Hey coach, all the gymnastics facilities around me cater to the 4-8 yr old girl crowd, how can I convince them I'm not a pedo, and i'm not going to break their equipment?

I hate snow.  Rain I can deal with, but snow leads to ice, ice leads to anger, and anger leads to the dark side.

hoooo ******* weres a helmat

Anyone who doesn't like the risk of concussions.

Is that what he was trying to say?

I don't know about any of you, but if I'm gonna put my head closer to the ground than my feet, I'm gonna wear a helmet.

Note however that Henry has been doing the gymnasty-stuff since he was a wee lad.

Janelle and her people are the only things keeping Antarctica from melting.

No kidding.

That's me on the screen!  No applause please, just throw money.  I'm also available for parties!

Well done, though.

LOL, im glad you were not refering to me being a pansy, but you can call me anything else if you want. Oh go on be terrible to me... hehe. jelly x

So, I hear you is a pansy?

Clips like that make me smile, because I assume they can't get up on their own, rather than the whole thing being staged.

At least I got chicken!

Speaking of pivoting footplates, does anyone know of a place where I could buy just a footplate? I have PR2007s and intend on running to school with them every day once I get the proper musculature, and it would be very nice if I could Frankenstein mine to have the pivoting footplates.

How far do you live from your school?
