bencrush Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Holy crap that's fast progress Captain! Great to see more guys bending the Red and showing it no mercy whatsoever. Awesome on the 6" Red also! It is an eye opener on the 7" Red video on the crushdown when you get stuck @ 90 degrees and you're trying to finish it off with the nail held around chest level...as soon as you pull the Red back up under your chin, it melts. I have the same problem sometimes. We forget sometimes about maximizing leverage until someone in the background (or in our head) yells at us to "Get it under the chin!" Again, simply phenomenal progress! Nice double wrapping system you have there too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 thanks guys! and thanks ben for the kind words...yeah it definitly went much smoother to the crush under my chin. Ill definitly have the red at the chin from now on, live and learn i guess! I definitly need work on the 6 inch Red. For the life of me I couldn't crush that thing to 2 inches, but that was my first time so I'm sure it will get better down the road. I guess I'm just amazed at how fast I've progressed. It was 3 months ago I bought my first Bag of Nails where I couldn't even kink the yellow to bending the red now it just doesn't seem real. Hopefully when my hands get a bit tougher I can go for the red nail cert. thanks again for all your help guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
