RKlein Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) Chris looks like a great contest. i will be in Mi. a week after the contest so i am bummed out that i will miss it by a week. Look forward to meeting you at BBB 3. This is Ryan Klein by the way since you weren't sure (on the P & B forum) if i was a member on the grip board.

climber511 Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Is there an updated athlete list? Actually Anson - no. Quite a few have expressed an interest but I haven't put a list together yet. Just off the top of my head, these people have at least mentioned they would like to come. We'll never know until show time I guess. If you are considering coming, please add your name to the list. Chris Rice Josh Rice Doc Nick Stew John Eaton Jedd Scott George Anson Creason if you and Scott just kidnap him and bring him with you Josh Dale George Champlin (spectator) Brent Barbe Scott Styles?

Scott Styles Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Chris, I am planning to attend and compete. I thought Mike was as well? Odin, this is a good contest to get started on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madss Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'm considering it, but have never been in a contest before and don't know how to bend. Bro! I see you in Charlotte, you could come up to Huntersville (15mins) sometime and I could show you a few things. Right now I am only a bending watcher due to my sissy finger injury at GGC but I am more then happy work a few things with ya. Also Anson is in Salisbury about 30 mins or so. Sign up for BBB it will be great again this year, John puts on a sweet contest. Don't worry about doing great, your first time is always a learning experience. With the bending firepower that will be at this contest you will impress yourself with what you learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) I'll have to look ahead, alot of family stuff happens for me in December and never on the same days but I'd like to go. Sounds like this and the BBB are good opposites so it'd be pretty neat to work some more variety in. For now count me in! But I wont know for sure probably until the beginning of November when we plan most of our family stuff.

climber511 Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'm considering it, but have never been in a contest before and don't know how to bend. Bob - reverse bending takes probably the least technique (and certainly the least flexibility) of all the styles. I'll be glad to show you what I do anyway - different people do it a little different but it seems to work out. So come on up and have some fun, everyone has a"first" contest some time - it sounds like your time has come. Welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odin Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Scott Styles, thanks for the encouragement. Your post in the grip-together thread was very thought-provoking. Scott George, Yes! I'd love to workout with you sometime. You are very advanced in a lot of areas I need to improve in or have never even had the opportunity to try (v-bar, 2-hand euro-pinch). Maybe you have some 45s that won't slice half my thumb off and can give me the push I need to get them up. Mr. Rice, thanks, I think my shoulders might be too flexible, if anything (rotator cuff issues). I think it would be worth it to go just to meet you alone, I'm sure you can teach me a great deal. If my L elbow is still messed up, I can just take a pass on the bending and just use it as a learning experience. I read your 60 by 60 goals in Doc's forum and was very inspired.

climber511 Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Bob - please don't go train with that Scott George fellow - I haven't beat that boy yet and don't want any of that rubbing off on you! Seriously, a get together with Scott and Anson would be a great learning experience for you. You'd learn more in one afternoon with them than a year of reading the boards. Please try and make Gripmas - it's shaping up to be a great contest. And thanks for the compliments! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky to have two of the top grip guys in the country within easy driving distance. It's going to be quite an experience to spend time with people who have an interest in this odd hobby (and who are extremely talented), no one in my life really understands why i do it. Sign me up as probable, just have to make sure I can pull it off. Edited September 16, 2007 by odin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickr104 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 We could car pool from Columbus. Meet somewhere in Columbus, and go from there. We have been there meny times. That way we will not have to find a place park 15 or 16 cars around Chris's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
