I started researching and bid on a pair on ebay the next day!

Unless you get a really good deal, I suggest looking at a website that sells them instead of ebay. With the website, you get the warranty, which is something worth having. Just a suggestion.

Ya, i know it's bad, but i have to include it as part of my essay sources......i don't get it either....

Hey everyone,

For my Writing class, I have to write a paper on bocking and I have to use Wikipedia for some of it. When I look at the Wiki site for bocking, all I could find was powerbocking, and the article is really small and doesn't even have PoweriserPages.com on it.

I was hoping maybe some of us could update the article. I would update it, but it would look really weird if I updated it when I'm researching it for the essay lol. I know a lot of you all know way more than I do about bocking. Plus, not only just for me, but it would be a great place for people to really know what they are from a site that gets a ton of hits.

Thanks!

o ok thanks , didn't know it was there......

just for a side idea to location....it would be awesome if when you sign up, you can put in a zip code or postal code or something and it would put a little pin on a map showing where you are located, makes it easier for people to find each other and it can show just exactly where bocking is expanding. It sounds really complicated, but it would be a cool feature.

Hey Bill, what kind of knee brace do you use? Wrap? Hinged? Expensive?

My knees thank you guys so much for the pictures showing where the knee bar goes. Until recently, there were right in the soft part of my knee. Not only do my knees feel better, but I have better control of my jumping and running.

And discovered today, I now understand what Bill means about buying a knee brace to go with the pads when doing tricks. I was trying to land 360's and 540's and, boy, if you land wrong or jump wrong, it's painful.

Thanks again guys. (and gals )

the oldest person i've seen bocking in person is.....me, which is 19 lol

the oldest person that's asked me questions about bocking and considered buying/trying some would probably be about 60, but they only want them because it builds up leg muscle.....

wait...did you go on the beach? in the sand? do they work in the sand?

So, I got a phone call from a friend, while I was bocking at night, to meet him at a campus store to get something to drink. He said to hurry, and I had been practicing my running a little bit so I felt prepared to go run on my bocks and meet him there. The store is about 4 blocks away from where I was. I started running and was doing pretty good. I was running down a long straight part and thought I was running good until my left bock hit a manhole cover, slipped and lost footing all together. I fell right on my hands, elbows, and knees. But, I only had two of those three things covered with pads and so my elbows got some road rash.

When I fell down, people were freaking out like "Omg, are you ok? Do you need help?" Cars hit their brakes to check on me. I was all "I'm ok, I got it." Pulled my leg around, got back up, and kept going lol.

In the picture, I have three ban-aids. (2 plain and 1 cartoon one. The girls in my dorm said I needed a colorful one lol)

Man, I love this sport lol.

Hey everyone,

I've been getting more and more excited about my bocks, especially since they are arriving tomorrow. And, my friends all see that I'm getting excited and joke around saying "what if your bocks got here and they were broken?"

Now now, I'm not that gullible or anything, but it did make me think about it. I mean, it was being shipped FedEx... (I had FedEx drop a package once that cost $800, broke it, and I'm still waiting for the insurance money... )

Anyway, to get to the point, my question is: Is there anything I should check for when my bocks arrive? Are they ready to go straight out of the box? Is there any mods you recommend doing when they arrive?

Thanks everyone.

World's hardest game? Isn't that love? 

[dollars]

Sorry I don't know the current conversion factor between dollars and pounds, but it was a little over two pounds to the dollar last time I checked.

I wish it was like that. I think what he means is that its just over two dollars to the pound. Just wanted to clear up any confusion.

i just read the posts about when you got hurt and this one now, and i'm very happy for you. Always good to see someone get better. You almost got the flip. Keep it up!

You can....sorta.

Underneath the video, there is a flag link. Click on it and a little drop down appears and one of the options is about saying you own the copyrights of the video among other things like SPAM. I figure if we flag it enough times, they will take it down. I mean, it's not like they can stop flagging videos or hide them. They go straight to Youtube.  

Edit: BTW, did you check out their other bock video? Little weird...
