Jedd Johnson Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Is anyone aware of the specs of the loading instrument that is used in the Rolling Thunder competition? For example, loading pin size and weight, connection method from the RT to the pin, connection length, etc.? Thanks, Napalm Jedd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 An Ironmind Olympic loading pin is used. The handle is clipped directly to it with a caribiner. No chain is used. Only the weight of the plates is counted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom of Iowa2 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 (edited) as Old Guy said...and,if it is to be done as the Rolling Thunder PRO Nationals was done it will be a brand new,slick as snot,right out of the plastic wrapper,Rolling Thunder handle. Also,if somebody has some influence??Call ahead and make sure they use calibrated plates OR simply have an accurate scale available to simply weigh the plates. The Pro Nationals was a 'heads up'competition...some of the best in the world were there-and the placements were appropriate- however ALL that competed felt the plates were heavy and 'off'...and again that handle was slick as snot(not sybersnott)and apparently brought everbodies poundages WAY down.
