smitty Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Steve, This is a huge moment for Dave and Jedd - let's all of us - let them enjoy it! Thank you Mikael for your post. Let me get out my laptop here - big numbers and I'm sure that Mikael will be very happy to know that the Euro 3 (that I bought from him) stopped a lot of strong guys. Our generous sponsors made sure that everyone was happy with prizes when they left AND big equipment was raffled off: a Sorinex Grex and a Maninno Grip machine. Thank you all the sponsors!

It was from the very first batch of the double stamped #3's which were, in general, very hard. This one was the hardest of about half a dozen of those early beastly double stamped #3' that Arne and I bought. Deeply set spring and very wide. A challenge just to set it.

Rick Walker Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I said it on the other thread, but I will say it here: Huge congrats to Jedd! Who told me he had been training hard, and I expected him to be top 3, but came to win and got it done. Outstanding my friend. Tommy-we knew you would take the small hand division. Strong is strong and Tommy is strong! Great job all around, outstanding contest fellas! Taking it to the next level- -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
