capt. crushalot Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Just incredible! 100 REDS each, so was this competition considered a tie? What will you do for a tie-breaker? Greg can't wait to see a photo of 100 reds on a bar like you did with the 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmainlands Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Beyond amazing. I'm afraid to ask - whats next for you two??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I watched the first 50 and it was amazing. Red after red...like they were bending little pieces of 1/4". When I went to bed, I really did not think you guys would finish. All I have to say is AWESOME! -Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Incredible and probably the most amazing feat of marathon bending ever seen. The mental and physical tougness to get thru this must be unbelievable, especially with that hand, Greg. neilkaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Kartchner Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I just purchased stock in Wyeth (I'm anticipating Dave and Greg will be going through a lot of Advil). Congratulations, guys--no boundaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjkd12 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Yeah, awesome. It was great to be able to watch some of it. You guys looked like machines going after the reds. I can't believe you continued greg, with your hands like that. You guys truly set the bar for bending. I can't imagine whats next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bballdad Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Never any doubt you guys would reach 100. CONGRATS !!! Now what you guys need is maybe some iron palm coconut breaking martial art training to turn those hands into stone and do an all day bending, tearing, pinching, levering, crushing, can busting, phonebook tearing, thick bar, ironman competition. Thanks for letting me watch guys!! Real proud of both you guys!! Rest up and take care of those hands.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamidon Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Thank you everyone. Some behind the scenes stuff: Dave and I were on speaker phone the whole time. His wife fed him beans that night and had to sit through some of the foulest smells on the planet. The sounds he was making were unreal, I am sure his underwear are ruined. Several people PMed me and it helped a lot. Diann, Smitty, Kevin, and Ryan thanks for the encouragement. I started to feel sorry for myself and that really got me mad. I preach to people to toughen up and push themselves and I try to live it everyday. I am not a bystander who says and doesnt do, and when I felt like quitting it was like a slap in my own face. Dave- Can't say it enough, I never doubted you for a second. Thanks for giving me a few more minutes to collect myself at the 50 bar point. I was really having difficulty and you waited for me. Thank you. My son, who took care of me, got me stuff to drink and re-wrapped things for me when I was unable to do so for myself. This thing was stupid, and I can't figure out how we got here. Just two guys pushing eachother and talking smack. It was much easier to talk about getting it done than it was doing it, next time Dave SHUT UP!!!! Dave is KING, he faired much better than me on this and for that I will bow to him as the WebCam KING for volume. Hopefully some new guy can come along and challenge Dave for the Volume KING title, cause I DONT WANT IT For those of you who think I will use my hands as an excuse to take a night off tonight. Please join me for grippers same time same place. Next time you tell me your hands hurt you can remember this. I probably will bleed, and probably cry a little. Go easy on me cause I am gettin old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawrin Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 That was really just the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. You guys were both amazing. Dave, you were just cracking me up tearing cards while you were resting. GEEEZ!! Greg, that was some kind of mental fortitude you displayed.

EricMilfeld Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I'm very sorry I couldn't witness some of the action, but that dang work thing once again intruded. You guys rule! History for sure. You've done us all very proud! A hundred Reds = the ultramarathon of bending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsuk Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I was fortunate enough to be invited over to Greg's house to witness history first hand. I have to be honest that from the look of Greg's hand I did not think he could actually accomplish the feat. He bent right through the pain until the feat had been fully completed. He showed a level of physical commitment that i have never before seen. All I can say that last night was truly unbelieveable. My hat goes off to both Greg and Dave.
