EricMilfeld Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Eric, what does it take to get on the top 50 list these days? a 6.5" red or bastard?- Aaron A 6.5" Red would do the trick, but a Bastard wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Another question for Eric: The next step for me is a Big Shiny Bastard. I don't have any of them at the 6.5" length. BUT I do have a few of the 7" Shiny Bastards left. Is it legal to cut them down on video to 6.5" and thus make them an unofficial Big Shiny Bastard? Or do they need to be ordered that way from FBBC to count for the Top 50 List? I kinked one the day after my first Shiny Bastard bend so I think I might be able to get one down before the BBB if I work very quickly.

bencrush Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 It won't be long now for that Big Shiny Bastard. I got one to less than 90 degrees in 25 seconds today. But fought it for 2 minutes and couldn't finish it off. If I can muster a little more speed in the beginning I can finish it off no problem. Can't wait for that one!

Mr. Beatty has allowed me to cut down stock for certs in the past. But I would check with him again, just to make sure. And yes, a cut down Shiny whose length is shown on camera is good enough for a top 50 cert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Here's a weird question: Would a 4.5" Grade 8 get someone on the list? Would ANY length of Grade 8 now or does it totally have to be a short Bastard or short Red to get on the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would ANY length of Grade 8 now or does it totally have to be a short Bastard or short Red to get on the list? Yes, that short of a grade 8 would definitely earn a spot on the list. I would need some feedback from others to decide on the exact placement, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acorn Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Eric, I was wondering what the order of toughness as far as the list goes for Bastard, Hex, Shiny from Bastard thru Huge Shiny Bastard. I've been trying to figure out what order to bend them in order to not skip any in order of toughness. Thanks, - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alawadhi Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Why there are two same level benders on different spot? I mean like this 2) Greg Amidon.........................Magnificent Bastard 3) Dave Morton..........................Magnificent Bastard Both can bend the same thing and why not they both become number 2?

This is due to the fact that some of us favor longer steel, while others favor shorter.
