Like the organised jumping we did for the BBC in Cardiff

We all stood close together and then started jumping up and down then people started doing scissor kicks and split kick inchs from each others faces

I don't know what I was expecting to be honest but I think it came across really well, there was simple jumping to Splits and Flips so that was really cool to see. I think to do something synchronised with that many performers would be really hard.

I agree with Naz, although it looked pretty crap and disorganised to us, it boosted the appeal of bocking worldwide and showed a good range of skills
