Up, up and away!

Do you remember your first baby footsteps? Me neither, but I surely remember my first Robocop footsteps! eheheh
You know how I like to try different things, so recently I decided to try bocking... powerbocking... spring stilts... whatever you want to call it! :-)

For some this is an extreme sport, others consider it a form of exercise. For me it's both, plus a new away to break yourself! eheh
I enjoyed my first experience with these futuristic stilts, but I didn't try to run or jump like crazy... yet! ;-) Technically you're able to jump between 1 to 1.5 meters off the ground and run up to 32 km/h, and the name comes from its inventor, the german Alexander Böck (no, it's not related with the "Super Bock" beer, guys!) eheheh

I felt like Robocop while walking and like Superman while jumping (able to leap tall buildings! eheh). I survived this first experience, but for sure is something I want to repeat! ;-)

My friend, the only Bock you'll get me into is Super-Bock, definitely....
