My witness, Kerbjr(Brett) is going to be certing on some 6" and 5.5" Fatbastard stock so I'm pretty pumped to watch him melt that stuff as well.

kerbjr Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I had the honor of being Josh's witness today for the MM2. I must say he gave it a valient effort but unfortunately was just having an off day with the grippers. He got so close on the first effort that we had to put it up on the big screen tv just too make sure he missed it....Oh so close....Josh would probably be too humble to tell this but he was running on basically nill sleep and was not on top of his game today..Tried 2 more times but none as close as the first..I can say with all confidence that this was just a bad day, with the way he owned the last cert he would have owned this bad boy on a good day....The day was not a total loss for him cause I talked him into trying to cert on a 6.5x5/16 FBBC bar, he got real close on the first attempt with a limp wrist wrap job, and then busted it on the 2nd go around with a tighter wrap in place.....This and the guy only bends occassionally....Yikes WE will see some very impressive things from this guy in the future...BANK ON IT>.............Congrats on the bar cert Josh and you will get the MM2 next go round...Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Brett's post pretty much says it all, just a BAD day. After my cert was over and while Brett was getting prepared for the FBBC certs I tried my MM3 dud, which I can close pretty much on command, and I was off by 3/8-1/2". After the long drive home I tried my MM2dud just to be sure and was off by 1/4" or better. I was just off yesterday, the gripper isn't harder than advertised and the MM2dud, mine anyways, is harder than the cert gripper. Thanks to God and Brett with the wrapping advice, I did manage to cert on the 6.5" FBBC so it wasn't a total wash. What Brett didn't tell you in his post was that he MELTED a 6" piece of FBBC stock and came pretty close with the 5.5". He is also VERY good at tearing cards. He eighthed a deck after all the bending we did. He wasn't even very into it, he was just kind of putting on a demo for us on how to get your tears right whenever the final goal is to eigth the deck, it wasn't a max effort by any means. He also bent a G8 faster than anyone I've ever seen. Thanks to Brett and his family for making the trip and I'm looking forward to trying it again when the next cert rolls around. I'll mail the gripper out Wednesday when I get off work. Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Never mind Josh. Off days happen. I know that on a normal day you have the power to easily close that gripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 We all have days like THAT Josh. But definitely next time! And great bending fellas!!! A good day of bending can cheer up anyone on a bad day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
