Guest baldy Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 In another thread, Snott said: Alright.... here's a challenge for you all!! Close my #4 and you can keep it. Anyone going to the AOBS in June can meet me there, and give it a go. BTW, PDA rated it at 535 IP after being seasoned; originally it was 565 IP (non-seasoned). It'll be one of the many "toys" I'm bringing to the dinner. Note: this offer does NOT apply to John Brookfield or Richard Sorin!! If anyone closes his #4 other than Mr Sorin or Mr Brookfield, he will give them that gripper. This is a generous challenge on his part. Will he keep his #4 after the AOBS dinner, or will someone there close it? There are some very strong crushers going to the dinner in June. Should be interesting.

Sybersnott Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I should mention that this is a gripper that was purchased right around the time Kinney closed his #4 (officially). I'm NOT saying it came from that batch; but probably very close to it. Yeah.... close my #4 gripper, and it's YOURS!!!!! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Say Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Is Richard going to have the same deal with his Phantom 4? :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baldy Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Mr Sorin is the most generous man (IMO) in the game. I doubt he would ever part with that Phantom 4 for any amount of money, or any other reason. It represents what he did in a peak. However, I am sure that he would award something good to anyone who could make its handles touch with one hand. I do not say this to put words in his mouth, but I have seen him reward good performances before. He has offered a prize to anyone completing his gauntlet, and he has awarded cash prizes to people lifting his Inch replica in his presence. Also I have personally experienced him helping out a newbie (me). To me that shows that he is more than just a champ with the iron. To be at his level and still take time for the little guy means a lot to me. That kind of thing doesn't get forgotten. BTW, Snott is still ahead in the polls as of now. So far popular consensus says that he will leave with the #4. 15 Snott, 10 not, 3 don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Something tells me that Heath Sexton has a very good chance! Heath.... your thoughts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat 74 Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Thanks for mentioning me, but I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see, that's a lot of gripper........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Heath's a wuss. All bet's are off on him. :hehe Then again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Say Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Yeah I don't think he will. He said the Phantom 4 is his most prized possesion. I doubt there's anyone who could close it anyway. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Wanna's taking bets on Heath!! Odds are 2 to 1. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff Roark Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I hope he loses his #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baldy Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 From the sound of his posts, Snott hopes someone will close it too. I still think it is cool of him to put it up for grabs like that, since it gives everyone a little extra incentive when someone issues a friendly challenge.

Guest Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Hmm.... i'm not going so I voted Sybersnott will keep his No.4 :p :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Should anyone close his #4 they will be given a DNA test to prove they are not Joe Kinney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Actually..... I WANT SOMEONE TO CLOSE IT! :p Why? Because it would mean that I would be witnessing strength history!! I could say, "Hey, I saw so-and-so close the #4 gripper at the AOBS in June of 2002". And there would be no doubt, because I know the history of the gripper. I've already seen Kinney close his (with some doubt and speculation as to the gripper), BUT.... I would vouch that THIS GRIPPER is the real thing!! My offer stands. I might even fly over to David Horne and see if he can close it - if no one else does at the AOBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 John, No need to fly over. Send it over, and I'll get my attempt recorded on video. Anyway, hopefully someone will mash it at the AOBS. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 David, So you say I'll be getting a tape from you?? Wow!! Ya got a deal.... gripper is flying over to England for you to mash!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Well hopefully someone will close it in June, if not contact me and I can give it a shot if you want. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff Roark Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 A stupid question... what is the supposed difference in Snotts #4 and the rest out there? Is it a really low tested IP? Which will still mean it can or will be harder than others tested at a higher IP. I personally think it is just a good challenge and incenetive for the guys close to the #4. That ought to the new rule...if a man shows up with his gripper/s somewhere and someone closes them more times than he can he must release his gripper to the other man. Sort of like titles or taking of the enemies women after they have been defeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 oh great! nobody tell heath where i live or else he will close all my grippers and then walk off with my girlfriend!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Jeff, AP's right, how many grippers does Heath really need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Grippers are like jell-o.... there's always ROOM!! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
