acorn Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Don, I was going though my stuff last month and came across a DVD someone made with footage from the MGC comp I went to in 2007 or 2008 where Don had the Steel bending event as a separate contest. Would you be interested in a copy of that if I can find the disc again? - Aaron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I must have missed that. I have really been out of the loop for the most part. Basically retired from competing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic on 189 is from my contest bend of a 6" x 5/16 FBBC Square. I've seen that one before and remember it being that bend. Consider it my best contest bend. The Pic on 203 brings back great memories of bending Don's 80d DO. Was ridiculously off center and a very tough Spike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromegaman Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Great job with this Don! It would be cool if there was SEC style rankings for different steel bending categories. That way it would keep people motivated. Just wishful thinking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Some year on another Jedd had Reverse bending at one of his contests - I did a 505# bar rated by Eric - I remember because it was by far the best bend I ever did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the comp where we were at The Edge Fitness in Towanda, the place that Slim came to, it was either 2007 or 2008. We ran it there 2 years in a row. Not sure if it was call Global Grip Challenge or United States Championship. Was it the one where like 6 people bent at a time and we all stood in a circle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it was 2007 Global Grip Challenge. I saw a post about it but no event results. Do you have the bending results Jedd? If so, I will add in the book. Thanks.

climber511 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 About all I remember is that the steel was rated by Eric Milfeld and it was mostly (but not all) drill rod. You gave me some of the left over steel - may still have a few pieces of it - not sure. The piece I bent was drill rod for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
