climber511 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 The videos are a nice touch. Nice choice of events - rules look easy but events hard - just as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madss Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) Ok fellas we are moving forward on the small contest. As Anson posted it will be at my dungeon. Start time will be at 10:00 am. entry fee of $20 will cover a very nice cookout, beer and misc other goodies. We are trying something different with the rules. We have made some super lame videos showing the events. We tried to cover everything but after watching them I know we left out a few details. These events are all basically new for us so please ask questions. We tried to mix up the normal lineup for a different feel. We want to see what ya think, so check out the vids at http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...um&album=76 You can send the check to me, or pay when you arrive, even paypal works- scottsherryg@excite.com. Scott George 14725 Laura Michelle Rd. Huntersville, NC 28078 If you plan on paying when you arrive please let me know you are coming so theres food for ya. sign up with me or anson asap. oh yea, the pool will be heated so bring your suits. If you don't want to swim I have some new strong man stuff to try (800lbs tire, 220 keg, trap bar, and what ever else I brew up before then. ) Edited August 25, 2006 by madss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Not exactly questions but clarifications maybe. Regular or thumbless grip allowed for the Hang? A flat foam mat or a small pad like Slim uses for the lever? Mouse - same widths as the Euro pinch allowed? 44-54-64? Grippers - one or both hands? The either hand rule in effect for the Blobs like before? 320# for 10 points on the V-bar - I'm in trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The either hand rule in effect for the Blobs like before? 320# for 10 points on the V-bar - I'm in trouble Great questions, Chris 1. regular grip for the hang, will be the last event and will proceed from last place standing to first. 2. a small pad( its about 2" thick) found it to work great 3. mouse width are open to preferance (.5" to 5"), but euro width seem to be on the money for max lifts. 4. grippers max attempt both hand averaged. 5. either hand is good for the blobs. last but not least 2" vbar, who ever pulls the most wins a madssco 2" v-bar a 320 pull would be cool , I am not even close.

nickr104 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) 320 on a 2" v-bar would be huge! My guess upper 200s will be the best. Edited August 26, 2006 by nickr104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anson Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 The location of the contest has changed. We're going to have it at the Woodleaf Community Center (this is where the Tar Heel Hands of Steel was held). Woodleaf Fire Dept. 9025 Cool Springs Rd. Woodleaf, NC 27054 The community center is directly behind the fire dept, you can't miss it. Scott's probably not going to be able to make it because of work, so you guys can send your checks or money orders to me. Please PM or email me for my mailing address.

porkchop Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I stayed there last time and booked there again this time as well. Decent hotel. Hopefully my shoulder injury will be healed and I can compete, but either way I will be there. pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdawg Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I had a great time, even if I did have to kill a couple of hours waiting on Dave. Several PR's were hit by everybody, which makes for a good day no matter what. Also finally got to play around with some highland games implements, which was a lot of fun. Congrats to Anson for a great showing. He was consitently good the whole contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
