acorn Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Estimating interest at this point. No name for it yet or definite venue. Events currently strongly considering are Block set Grippers, Euro 2HP, and FBBC 2" Crusher. Will be a simple comp with main goal of opportunity for chasing of comp PR's and getting together for some fun for whoever comes. No trophies or shirts and low or no entry fee depending on venue. City will be Tucson, AZ and date October 10th. Anyone interested? -Aaron 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 As far as I know, I'm in. 2" crusher is on order from Andrew. We should RGC the child grippers, and do a pinky/thumb close event for fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acorn Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Depending on how many are interested in coming Venue would either be my house or one of the local gym's. Toys of course would be available for after like the 2x5 Saxon Bar with bumpers for Pinch Oly lifts or DL, Gibson Plates for hubbing, Bending stock if you I hear of interest ahead of time, and other skunk works secret toys in development. - Aaron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Also - and just as important - can we get Zach to bring homebrew? We can always ask. I think I've only ever had one of his brews. They seem to go pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to go pretty quick. The Laphroaig Oaked scottish 90 shilling he brought out to the last local comp we did in 2013 was the best beer I have ever tasted. Was truly amazeballs. - Aaron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Goguen Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Griptoberfest is prefect! Also if at any time in the future shirts were to be made there's a lot of really cool option for images that could work into that name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay, the one guy chatting on my thread is a strongman/highlands game competitor with a great grip. Very strong on the farmers walk and plays around with different grip feats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
