Rens Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Hee all! Today I decide to try bend my first 60D-nail double overhand. My first attempt on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy2o41fUVvs&feature=youtu.be The begin of the bend was really hard, but when I reached the kink it was verry easy. Ooh the nail did I found in my shed it is a little bit rusty and the tip of the nail is blunt. Hope all you people enjoyed it, and please give me your opinion/ advise.

Frank Pizzo Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Nice job on bending a 60d man. The advice I will give is likely something you already know if you've been watching other experienced benders. You are bending too far away from your body, and the steel isn't even close to being under your chin. That being said you did manage to power through the bend in an awkward position, but you need to fix those issues if you want to bend anything much bigger than a 60d. Keep it up man, I look forward to seeing some more bends! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Sharkey Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Gooood. I don't know if I could bend a 60D nail that far from my body. You want the steel to literally be touching your throat as you kink Gooood. I don't know if I could bend a 60D nail that far from my body.

JoshW Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Good bend. You will bend it with more power if you tuck it under your neck put the wraps around 1-1.5" away from either end of the nail. When those suede wraps come in from David Horne that will help! Good start brother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sharkey Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 1-1.5" . This is a matter of preference and feeling of the wrap/steel composite in the shape of the hand. I wrapped IMP's at 2" exactly. I think Carl does like 1.75". 1.5" is generally known for doubles. Its going to be up to the way you are able to put force into the bar. I couldn't bend anything with the IMP's farther out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 True, I bend using 1.5" from either side but as long as he starts working on his wrapping preference - be that 1", 1.5, 1.75 or 2" it will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
