GatorGrip Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Thanks fellas it is good to be back in the game, I was warming the bench way to long. I renewed my commitment to myself and my Brothers of Steel for 2007 to be much more productive year of personal bests in all areas of grip and in my life in general. I had made the goal of being a Huge Bastard in 2006 and for various reasons some legit and some just my own procrastination I let time start slipping away from me fast. The winning edge that pushed me the hardest to as we say down here in my Redneck of the Woods -GET-R DONE was the passing of my Grandfather on December 17th which lit a fire in me to bend this one for him. He really thought my steel bending hobby was unique as he remembered a few strongman shows of his youth. He liked the fact he could show off his #1 Grandson's bending handy work at the coffee shop with the old retired southern gentleman think tank members. Oh the #1 Grandson thing was not that he loved any more or less than his other grands, I was called that simply because I was the first born and male grandchild then a long stretch of girls came along and finally was ended with another male 17 years later so he and I are like protective bookends for all these girls. (don't even think about looking at her mister) Well I will keep yall posted if anything significant gets bent in my hands and I just want to take this opportunity to say "KEEP UP THE PHENOMENAL JOB YALL ARE DOING!" It keeps all of us moving forward to achievement. GATOR - Your Fellow Bending Berserker Edited January 19, 2007 by GatorGrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Rules 1) All bends must be completed within 5 minutes. Otherwise, all other Gripboard bending rules apply. 2) All FBBC certification bends will be recognized. 3) Bends performed in a contest in which all the other listed rules are followed will be recognized. 4) A video which shows the length of the bar, and the 2" maximum distance requirement is sufficient for proof. 5) If the strength of a bar is in question a calibration of that bar's batch will be required. 6) For a bend to rank higher than an existing bend it must calibrate atleast 20 pounds heavier. 7) For a bend to rank higher than an existing bend of the same stock it must be at least 1/2" shorter. 2009 7" 1) Gary Hunt Huge King of All Shiny Bastards 4-05-20072) Paul Knight 5/16 x 7" FBBC square crs (705 lbs.) 2-21-20093) Pat Povilaitis King of All Bastards 20064) Aaron
