This was the toughest horseshoe I've bent since probably 2013. After destroying the DC00, I figured I give it a shot. It was a tough bend, and left an almost immediate bruise on the kink, but it felt awesome to bend one of these again. After taking this down, I decided I am going to give one last run at my nemesis shoe, the SSP 8x18 #000, which I came close to bending back in 2012 for a cert, but came up just short. This shoe has haunted me since, and I never thought I'd have the ability or desire to make another run at it. Good luck killing that shoe. Great to hear the shoes are feeling strong! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my first attempt at one of these in about 8 years, I think. I might have gotten it to 3 degrees, but a definite wobble. Felt like things were starting to detach in my arm and throat on the hits. Brutal shoe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much longer I will continue hitting shoes hard, but the "horseshoe bug" has definitely bit again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not used to having that much on my back which aggravated my neck a little. Not really a fan of them, but try to work them in every so often. Years back, after walking-out 600, 525 felt "light" right afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been haunted by this thing since 2012, when I got one to about 160 degrees in a cert. attempt. There were dozens over the years in the "barely wobble" to 140 degree range. But tonight, I bent one to just over 180 degrees. I wasn't planning on making an attempt at one, but the Lite Plain #0 felt easy right before it and was destroyed. I figured I would see what happened. This was not a cert attempt, but would have passed if I would have documented everything. I don't think this will really sink-in for several weeks. I felt for many years that there was NO WAY I would ever bend or finish this shoe, and as I got older, the probability of it happening seemed near-impossible. But I bent it and this was a multi-year goal checked-off. Now I just need to document and get another one for a cert. attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had good movement on the SSP shoe and thought I might be bending my second-ever, but it completely seized-up around 150 degrees and I couldn't do anything after. Bending this one to 150 degrees actually ties my all-time best ever with the shoe (minus the bend from a week ago). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
