Roark Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Last night I watched the Richard Sorin video of his speech and demonstration at Georgetown, taped some weeks ago. Richard is an imposing man and there are some solid tips on training and technique and some hands-on demonstrations of how to use some of the equipment he sells. He carries a heavy anvil for several feet; Bud Jeffries is shown two-hand cleaning the Inch bell replica and then trying to put it overhead both left and right handed. I must correct something I said earlier, which was based on what I was told. Bud did not get the bell to lockout with either arm in this video- maybe he can now, or will soon, but I passed along some misinformation earlier. Sorry. Bert Sorin, world level hammer thrower demonstrates the Landmine (sp?) which it seems to me has much merit. As the tape ends various audience members try to hoist the implements that Richard and Bert have on hand. Also shown: the 621 lb gripper, the blob and other items. It is worth a look! Jeff Roark, when you see the tape, let me know how to identify you if you appear in it. You probably are the fellow surrounded by the cheerleaders?

Guest Jeff Roark Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Joe, Look for the shortest, most handsome man there and thats me. I have short hair and a red/bleack button up shirt. I sat right behind Bert while he was filming it. I can't afford the video, where can i see it for free? Is wanna going to post it for us? How about some pics?

paul valpreda Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 This video sounds great and I'd really like to see it. My question is, does it contain any bikini babes closing tough grippers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted April 30, 2002 Author Share Posted April 30, 2002 The video is well produced- not Hollywood, but fine. As I recall, the anvil Richard carried by the horn for a few feet was a 149 pounder, right Richard? Bud Jeffries cleaned the Inch as easily as I would clean a 50 pound dumbell, okay, 40 pounder. This man is powerful. There was another man from the audience who also cleaned it easily with two hands. Nobody caused the anvil to leave the floor though- except one man who cleaned it with two hands. Sorry Paul- no bikini babes with or without grippers- like that's really a requirement you would impose. "Sorry, you aren't holding a gripper, you must leave. Walk away now. Slowly." Hopefully Richard will post soon regarding his plans for the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
