Cannon Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Bump. It seems this contest has not received much press. It's coming up sooner than you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'll also be running this event in Ottawa, Ontario: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=39724 I expect at least a dozen competitors. It will be a fun day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 This event is less than two weeks away. It's a great opportunity for anyone who wants to get their name on some of the Top 50 lists on the North American Grip Sport site: http://www.gripsport.org/lists.htm This will be the first time the HorneTop is contested in an event, and the first time the LeverTop will be contested using the new rules, so weight class records are ripe for the picking!

Cannon Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Who around the world will be in the 74kg class? I really hope there is a decent showing so that the class is in more contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Matt, I think Darren Shallman is, and others have mentioned that class. Yes I thought I'd air this class at this contest to see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dthor Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yes, Darrin Shallman will be competing in the 74k class. It should be interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks guys. I know about Darrin and a couple others. I guess I'm worried it will be <10 guys. I'd like to see a good showing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrin S Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Matt, I hope there is more than 10 guys also. This is going to be alot of fun regardless. Good luck to you and the rest of the 74kg class competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Please take note, I am not running a leg of this contest. I was originally, but some changes took place. I will edit out my name at the top. I just don't want anybody showing up thinking there's a comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Adam Glass just notified me via Twitter that he is not holding his contest either. I am sick over this. I'm trying to figure out if there is any way I can get his stuff and hold the contest somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Nope. Adam never even had all the required equipment, he shouldn't have been on the list. It was a misunderstanding. I've never wanted so badly to test out the bad word filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Matt, I update my own forum as it goes along, but I cannot edit the pages here. That's a bloody shame mate! The list is below. Contest promoters: David Horne – Stafford, EnglandDave Thornton – Three Rivers, Michigan, USAJuha Harju - Helsinki, FinlandIvan Beritashvili - Moscow, RussiaEric Roussin - Ottawa, Ontario, CanadaNuno Couto - Porto, PortugalMaxwell Thompson - Irby, England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 It's one of those days today. Unfortunately I've just been informed by Ivan Beritashvili that two of the Topz have not arrived, even though they were sent in Dec.It is a real shame. I have said that if he has competitors coming, why not just host a Moscow (or Russian) GripTopz contest with the 4 other events (Half a Penny, Stub, Shallow Hub and Adj Thick Bar).Any records will count if they better any World Records.

Any records will count if they better any World Records. Would this be allowed with a change of venue? I could try and get the stuff that Adam has and host at my house or something. But it would likely be me and Kristy in our basement. It would only be Stub, Hub, Coin and Thickbar. I don't think Adam has Lever, or Horn.

David Horne Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Matt, I only got told from Adam on the 29th Jan that he couldn't support the comp this time, so the Minnesota venue is there for the taking if you wish. Yes Adam does not have the Lever or the Horne Topz. The weights have to be calibrated as you know, etc. Send me an email and I'll send you the details. I have a contact link on the main page of my site. http://www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Great news, Ivan has just received the parcel. So it's all go for Russia tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Good luck to all competitors. Have fun!Look forward to getting the results through, and would guess I'll have the final results up tomorrow UK time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
