Narrative:

As I was taxing out the line guys at the FBO threw chocks underneath my moving aircraft to stop me. I told them I was trying to beat the weather out and I would call them when I landed to give them my cc number for the ramp fee. They wanted them then and there; so they tried to stop me which could have caused damage as I was in motion. I ended up jumping the chocks.
