Hubgeezer 1,291 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Be first Wes. I gave it a shot, this was the best I can do for the moment, 70 hour weeks suck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlsGGtL6I5k What do you think that was, around 1/8 of an inch? Less or more?

Sybersnott 7 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 What about Wes? There used to be that thread "race to TNS the #3.5" or something, he was fairly close, he said? Maidenfan seemed to be close also, using TNS, he has large hands.Just to name a few who would be "close" to the feat. What about Paul Savage? Didn't he CCS the Vulcan, like, 3 levels above Steve's close?? Or do I have this information wrong? I'm going to go ahead and throw my hat into the ring; although I'll tell everyone this - I'm gonna haffta train again for this one and it might take me a few months (I'm in no big hurry). I'm not at the strength level I used to be... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike I would say a hair less. The beveling makes it a little difficult to tell sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Knight 66 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Martin and Wes - do you all have any idea what your 3.5's cal at? what I hate about the cert proccess is that one of you could get a 3.3 to cert on and the other a 3.7 (nothing like stating the obvious huh? ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teemu I 414 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Martin and Wes - do you all have any idea what your 3.5's cal at? what I hate about the cert proccess is that one of you could get a 3.3 to cert on and the other a 3.7 (nothing like stating the obvious huh? )Yep, that can happen and the difference between those extremities would mean CCS reps with the easier but missed attempt on the harder. Also a lot will depend on the spread. Well, it's part of the excitement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martin_Arildsson 164 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks! twig: I actually have a couple of those t-shirts, my favourite training-T. Paul: I've calibrated it with the RGC, and according to those numbers this one is a bit easier then the newer one I have. I'll ask for a cert when I can do a couple of CCS singles with the newer one, both hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jacobs86 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I think it's an excellent idea. Although I am pretty close now to the 3, I'm not sure I will ever get a 4 cert (won't stop me frm trying!) But this cert is far more realistic for me, whilst still being a heck of an acheivement. I'm sure there are plenty of guys in my position thinking the same thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
