honk Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I set a big (well to me big) bending PR today. I warmed up with 3 6.5'' x 6mm Nails. Final warmup was a yellow. Then I bend my first 60d! I didn't time it but I guess it took me about a minute to bend it. One of the hardest bends I did up to now. After that I wrapped a 7'' x 7.6mm Nail, exploded into it and after maybe two seconds I feld it bend. I rested for maybe 30 seconds and took it a bit furhter. Then I had three unsuccesfull atempts on moving it. I rested a bit longer and asked my dad to slap my face for motivation. He slaped first my right cheek then my left cheek hard and I took down the nail in about 10 seconds. Wow I'm so stoked, I had a goal to bend this nail before or on my birthday (12/10) and it hardly seemd possible. I gave frankyboy some of my 7.6mm nails a while ago and if I remeber correctly, he rated them somewhere between a G5 and a G8. Thanks to Frank for teaching me and thanks to GordonV for the 60d nails.

FrankyBoy Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Congrats Christoph. Yup those nails were significantly harder than a G5. Maybe exactly between a G5 and a G8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennisDude Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I will challenge you, just for fun. You will beat me by far, though. I am about 60 degrees from fully bending the G5. Stuck at the sweep. Challenge on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennisDude Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Sorry Left Side, it is too late for you! Besides, aren't you already bending G8s...talk about unfair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscle Turtle Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Medwig doesnt count really. He has been bending G8's for almost a year now and is so hit and miss it makes me sad. He used to beat me in bending all the time for the longest time. Im a wee bit ahead, but I hope to straighten him out when I return home for some training... Lets go Medwig, Balfe is catching...

Lets go Medwig, Balfe is catching... ← I was bending G5's last year, I only bent my first G8 two weeks ago. The hit or miss thing, is unfortuneatly very true. Let's go indeed, I'm ready. And Balfe has bent exactly one nail in his life, he doesn't care about it. Although I know he could bend the red right away if he would just try it.
