John Eaton Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 You might want to PM Jedd Johnson, he will add you to the Gripboard list of #2 closers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Nice job!!! I am very close myself ... literally 3 to 4 millimeters away ... very frustrating, haha. I'll close one of these days. Keep working it, Paul. Your RT and one handed pinch are very good for most guys who cannot close the #2. Mine were just a bit less than where your's are when I was 3 mm away from the #2, and then I decided to stress crush for a while and nailed the #2 and now can close my RB240N (almost half way to an average #3). Overcrush the crap out of a BBSA and do NC's with a BBSM (or something somewhat easier) or hose clamp choke your #2 down a bit to where you can just close it, and then gradually widen the choked spread. And nice going ObsceneJester !! .. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Great job OJ! The #2 is what I consider the start of "strong." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eaton Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Great job OJ! The #2 is what I consider the start of "strong." My youngest brother stopped in today. I had him try my #2. He closed it on the first try!!! He did it TNS. He did it cold. He is 6' 2" and 200#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
