Bob Lipinski Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 For the top 50 lists, and initiating the standardization of grip events with David Horne. Mikael is just more visible with his ranking lists, but David has also put his time in. Thanks to both for help in making Grip a legitimate sport. I have definitely had my arguments with Mikael, but it is good to know that he wants the same thing as me- To make gripstrength a legitmate competitive venue. Without their work, among others- (Rick Walker, Jedd+Smitty, Brian Carlton, Kevin Fulton) we would not have the variety of venues that we enjoy today.

David Horne Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Yes I've had my run ins with Mikael, but I wouldn't want anyone else sorting out records, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Mikael and Dave are great. I have asked training and miscellaneous questions of both and have gotten quick, concise, and extremely congenial replies every time. Two class acts and very detail oriented.

Jedd Johnson Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I have said it before many time. If it wasn't for information that I have received from Mikael, I would still be pulling in the low 330's on the v-bar. David is always an inspiration. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the swiss Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 both have done a lot for the sport, both know a lot of the sport, and both are really strong (very few people would beat Mikael in an overall grip competition). you don't get this without strong personnalities. hats off to them. You are doing your part, too, Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Thank you for your kinds remarks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 As Bencrush says Mikael is very detail oriented. He is passionnate too and has done a lot for the sport (just like David). But let's not forget that Mikael can also be a real ass##le and is kind of a psycho as well. Which contradicts Kim Wood's theory ("no one likes an ass##le"). Hats off to them indeed ! (All this said in good fun of course :- ) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Good work indeed - I especially like the latest rolling lists. It's the sort of thing that I would do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
