Tom of Iowa2 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Chris James as the certifier? I'd say that is a pretty good judge of grip and strength feats? All the more awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 (words fail me... because I thought I'd be a very long time since someone else besides Kinney could do it). Congrats to both brothers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJames Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I certified the no 4 closure in my house with Craig Holle present also , by the way Craig wasn't far off himself.I also certified him closing a no 3 in each hand , no set. Mr Strossen then came down aswell i believe to examine the no4 , he also came to my house twice but i wasn't in. There are big grooves on the hand of Nathan where he's been squeezing the grippers so much, as i said before a very determined strength athlete.

You sure you want to go on record on this board stating you are the official certifier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I would have thoiught that Mr Strossen would not have chosen a personal friend of the Holles to do the certification. As he was over in the UK at the time surely he would have taken care of that himself? Maybe that was after the fact and I am wrong about him being there.

OldGuy Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I remember now that it was at the OH dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 John Nathan Holle was not at the last OHF Dinner. Chris James is a COC,quilified B.A.W.L.A.Weightlifting coach and National Judo champion and judge and was picked by Dr.Strossen to be the official witness for Nathans #4 close after Dr.Strossen himself had came over to Wales on a couple of occassions to try and see the #4 handles touch.Sadly this as we no was not to be so Dr.Strossen being a very busy man who probably does not have the time to jet off to Wales every week to try and capture the next #4 close,so he elected the nearest coc to be the official witness who happens to be Chris James. If its good enough for Dr.Strossen its good enough for me,his rules,he decides if the Witness is good enough. Is David Horne going to be looked upon unjustly over certifying Scott,Marc etc because he personally knows them,is the same going to be said of any of Wades certs. The #4 has been done again and also the Red I now wait to see the whole thing properly documented in the next (edited to save space) with the accumpeing photos/video .
