Bocking will only cost you about £140 to get started, and that is with brand new gear.
If you buy some second hand stuff off [url]http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?action=classifieds[/url]
or [url]http://www.poweriserpages.com/forum/classifieds-b33.0/[/url] (wouldn't trust ebay for stilts) you could get almost new stilts and pads for £80-£100. No one has ever been arrested for Bocking before, the worst thing they have done is asked us to move on to a different place. Oh and age doesn't matter the youngest person to Bock was 3 and the oldest 70, I am turning 14 in a week and a bit myself.
If you want more information on Bocking and stuff here is my thread:

With the height I am getting(if I try really hard I can reach 1.5 or more meters, from the bottom of my stilts) I could easily do flips, it's just my dad won't let me until i get practice on a trampoline.
Anyway, here are some more pic's of me Bocking yesterday:

Sorry about this picture being resized, it was taken from a high resolution DSLR so it got resized, but perhaps a bit of an overkill here.
Here is some taken from our compact, but still resized.

Notice the 6 meter drop into the sea behind me, oh and the horrible helmet hair.
As a bonus here is a video I quickly mashed tougether:

If you want to know more about Bocking and stuff just give me a shout.
(mostly) fashion conscious POY what do you think of these?

i kinda like them but they wouldnt suit a whole lot of stuff so you'd be pretty restricted in terms of clothing but i dunno bro maybe you have lots of pairs of shoes

Think they are nice, but supras are so expensive.
Bocking seems like awesome fun, and where I live, there is shitloads of stuff to go over :v:
Yeah they are pretty pricey, but I really want some
Not necessarily those, but definitely some mid/high tops
poy is for fags
~truTh~
[QUOTE=ambershee;17533936]Bocking is awesome. If I had monies, and didn't run the risk of being arrested around these parts, I'd probably give it a try xD[/QUOTE]
Oh yes I forgot about the Bouncy Stilts Act of 2006 which allows the Police to arrest anyone using them without warrant
:rolleyes:

It is right on the edge of St.Anns, arguable the worst place in the UK for gun crime. And you hear 6 sirens a night, but it's mine >:D

We was scouting out the area one night a few months ago. Within 5 minutes we was stopped by our local friendly drug dealers.
My girlfriend gets a fair bit of hassle walking around as well. So I put her under strict instruction not to walk around alone when it's dark.
We're right on Mansfield road, so it isn't too bad. If we do get some actual hassle I'll just round up some Eastwood boys to cause a ruckas.
[QUOTE=beatzdawg;17535237]I just can't see anything good about that jumper.[/QUOTE]
I might buy a load, wear them in public and take various pictures of me humping famous structures around the world JUST to annoy you :)

Do these threads usually consist of 6 or 7 posts of people's pictures and the rest of it being the same 7 or 8 people e-crushing over a girl on the internets?
