kerbjr Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Was at Josh's place tonight for his cert on the MM2, while there I talked him into trying a cert on a 6.5 in FBBC (it was the longest piece I had with me) He had bent one in a w/o a few weeks ago and was game.. Well the first attempt he got a decent kink but his wraps were slipping and sliding all over the place, how such a strong dude can wrap up something so weak I will never know..........We had a brief chat about the importance of a good tight wrap and a quick demo , and then Josh was at it again with a fresh 6.5......I was scared to give him a 6in piece tonight cause I thought he might make me look bad This guy isnt even a serious bender yet, so look out in the near future......Good job Josh, Im just proud to say I know ya..............

GatorGrip Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 This guy is like "Bam Bam" off the Flintstones cartoon he just don't know his own bending strength! Yeah sounds like you were lucky Kerbjr you didn't bring any FBBC stock 6 inches or less because it sounds like it could have just got absurd him plowing through certifying pieces like that. Ha Ha Who knows we could have gotten the "Mother of All Bastards" tonight. Ha Ha Congrats Josh it sounds like you are a natural bender, keep it up my friend.

EricMilfeld Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Wow! I see crushing isn't your only area of expertise. Congratulations, Josh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Thanks guys. Brett smoked a 6" FBBS and was pretty close on the 5.5" I'm looking forward to seeing him bend a 5" piece or better next time we meet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Congrats Josh. I guess that success makes your MM2 miss a bit easier to take. I know this cause I tried the 6.5" FBBC too yesterday but couldn't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Beatty Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Congrats!! Send the forms! I'm going to get the t's done asap for the certified guys - special design you'll only be able to get if you're on the cert lists. The design will be done by a comic book artist, cool design - hands/forearms shot with a chunk of bent steel. Also going to have 5/16 hex soon.

GatorGrip Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Sweet John! That 5/16th Hex is going to be quite the challenge for us bending newbies maybe not much for the Master Benders on the board. I wonder where it will rank in placement of yield strength compared to the Red nail and the other FBBC stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
