What is Bocking?

Bockers are powered by the gravitational force created when the person using them applies downward pressure, this pressure is converted to energy that propels the user into the air. To create this pressure the person on the Bockers needs to be of the correct weight in order to create enough force to lift them up. Too light and no upward force is created, too heavy and the Bockers can't create the energy needed to push the user upwards as the springs are 'dampened' by the extra weight.

Basically these are springy stilts which you strap yourself into. They allow you to jump as if you were on a trampoline, and allow long leaping strides. The word 'Poweriser' is used to mean any stilt but the general term for these stilts is 'Powerbocks'
