Save money on feet....
« on: October 18, 2009, 17:29:30 »

Ok so after meeting a few of the guys down the bay yesterday I'm pretty certain I'd like to become an active member of the Welsh Bockers and more importantly become a helpful member. I noticed people are going through feet pretty fast (as I did not too long ago). So I thought I'd suggest the old tyre sock idea and help people out with it.

I had a look at how to make a bock foot sock on the projump forums and thought it looked fairly simple and to my surprise after about 10 mins of fiddling about I managed to get mine on and working just fine:





What I've noticed personally is in the time my one pair of feet were worn through these tyres are not even worn a little meaning it would probably take me a year to wear them down to the point where they need to be replaced.

If anyone else wants to give this a try but is a little confused about how to do it I still have 2 GT tyres sat in my cupboard so all you would need is two jubilee clips (I'll find out the size asap) and when I'm next down the bay (or gym) I'll cut some and fit them for you. Once the tyres are gone though you'll have to supply your own tyre Sad

Anyone who is interested just let me know Smiley

Nice, I've been trying to find some tyres to try this myself Cheesy

Btw, once you're a paid member you can claim feet off the club... Depends how bad they are XD If you're bouncing on metal then you can claim them XD

haha yeah I read that but I'm sure there are people who are harder up than me and who could use those feet more. This bike tire trick works wonders for me Smiley

If you still want to try this out I'll bring along a tyre to the gym session on the 1st and give you a hand fitting them if you bring some jubilee clips along.

On the note of modding/fixing etc I need some help fitting my calf cuffs that have just arrived. I have them on but I'm not sure where they should be on my legs and I've also just got some Wulf Hinged MX Knee Pads unfortuently I may have wasted £30 odd quid as they don't seem to give much freedom of movement for me or maybe they just need to be worn in.... a lot >.<

I've yet to figure out how the hell they stayed done up when Jeeves, Nathan, George, Jake and Matt have all been on them, yet disintegrated on Alice.
