Woodchuck Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 (edited) Edit: This is Clay posting on Woodchuck's computer. So I'm here in Albuquerque right now at Woodchuck's house visiting for the weekend. We get to gripping and stuff starts getting passed around. A friend of Woodchuck's no-sets my HG200 on his first try in either hand. Easy as pie. Woodchuck's plates are real slick so we put some athletic tape on them for a more consistent surface. He gets 2-45's a few inches off the ground. Then I break out the bending stuff. I tried showing him how to bend once before but he struggled with the technique. This time, I introduced him to suede and spent about a minute showing him how to bend double overhand. Timber tie - joke 40d - yawn easy 60d - melted hard 60d - destroyed grade 5 bolt - smooshed grade 8 bolt - annhilated in about 20 seconds. Let me repeat that - a guy with 5 minutes bending experience melts a G8. For a guy who only trains when I see him (which is about 4 times a year now) he trips me out. I didn't have any reds on me or else I'd have wrapped one up for him too and I have no doubt he could have killed it tonight. No doubt at all. We're going to get video of the G8 bend tomorrow night. The closest thing to a red was a 5/16x6" G2 bolt that is harder than a red and he couldn't kink it. We are heading to the hardware store tomorrow to see what we can find that is most like a red. Freak. Edited October 23, 2004 by Woodchuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmainlands Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Amazing. Can't wait to see the vid. You must make him see the light Clay, as to how out of the ordinary these accomplishments are with such little training. To think of what he would be capable of with regular training boggles the mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
