At last I have got it
« on: November 07, 2007, 10:39:28 PM »
I only get a chance to do about 2-3 hours a week on the bocks so I took them to work (for the daylight)

So I have been bouncing a lot more recently and I have finally managed to bottom both springs out while bouncing and I can now get some decent height next Tricks

Can you wrap yourself up in some sort of bubble wrap before you go on to do tricks....

Or give me some notice so I can increase our bw limit (I'll need it with the amount of pictures we may get in the injuries section!  :o )

Just kidding m8 ;)

Congrats on getting the extra height and all the best with your tricking  :)

Strange you should mention the bubble wrap Naz

Lloyds of london asked something similar or at least a chance to lay my health insurance off with someone bigger  ;D

DK I may have come up with a simple way of increasing the poundage of the springs I'm working on it now to stop mine bottoming out and get more height I would go for a higher weight but I'm already on 120s

Well I was looking for an old frame to make the spring for but now I can bottom out I will try a lower poundage version with the spring still on like a sort of spring assist as they have on extreme 4x4s

Might work or not but it should be an interesting experiment if I survive of course  ;D

Already been up to see him gillybert he would'nt let me in
something about not enought content insurance cover  ;D

The other Guy down below wasn't to keen either He said maybe if I left my bocks and tools at home and he could get a big enough chain made  :-[
Seemed to change his mind when I offered to help make the chain and said he'd call me
Still waiting  ;D
