it's a weird world we're living in...

- There's a new sport out there, possibly called PowerBocking, which involves bouncing around on these springy stilts. Like bouncing on a trampoline, with no trampoline! Names haven't quite settled out for the activity or the stilts yet, but I'm going to go ahead and weigh in that I like "bocks" for the equipment and "bocking" for the activity.

I'm super-pumped about this. I'll have to see about getting a pair. I saw a fellow doing this in Lake Tahoe, but it seems like it's biggest in Germany and the UK.
