FrankyBoy Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Well this styls is explicitely allowed according to the Gripboard and the FBBC bending rules. GB 1. No part of competitor’s arms/hands may touch body below waist level. Upper arm down to elbow is allowed contact with chest and stomach. Any part of the arm may contact from the pectorals and above. Hands may only contact body from pectorals and above, this is primarily to prevent injuries caused by unsupported rotation of wrist under extreme load during a bend. FBBC 1) NO BRACING - HANDS MAY BE AT ANY BODY LEVEL, BUT HANDS & ARMS MUST BE FREE OF ANY BODY PART BELOW THE WAIST. YOU MAY REST THE ARMS AGAINST THE CHEST/ABDOMEN. IM The bend as shown is not valid by the rules of Ironmind. But that has nothing to do with the style. IM enforce the uses of their pads. The only rules applyable for the style are: 1. Only your hands are touching and bending the nail. 2. You are not pushing the nail against any other body part or other object. The first part of the bend was done in about a minute. So thats fine too. If the result is already a U-shape? Dunno. (No rule about the distance of the nails ends here!) Real experts may help here.

ishred Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 awesome bend......your style was great. I think it would be fine for a cert because you obviously aren't bending into your body. take pride in the fact that you are one of few men who have bent a red not using the DO style.

Sean Dockery Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I could be wrong. It's happened before. Looked to me like his left hand was braced against his deltoid/chest for a large part of that bend. Not just contact, braced. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. A good feat either way.

BigT Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Dan, saw the video and bending a red any type of way is impressive man. Congrats that's a future goal of mine and I'm glad to see a goal of yours come true. What's left to say but Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
