acorn Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I had already got a 6.25x5/16 HRS this evening so I thought I would take my first try at a IM Red. I didn't think I would even be able to kink it but I set up the vid camera anyway. I did kink it and kept going. I had so little expectations that I didn't even have a tape measure close and had to run get it. It is a little off center but I got it to 1 3/4". I will post the vid as soon as I can. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Great work man! So much for the "How much time to the Red" question! How long did it take you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Great work man! So much for the "How much time to the Red" question! How long did it take you? If your asking how long did it take to bend, that depends on when you start the timer. Is it when you first hit it? Also I had to go find the tape measure. I didn't have it handy when I started because I didn't think I was gonna move it. It looks to be about 1minute 15 sec from the time I hit it to when I have it at 2" and go get the tape. I hit it some more after that to get it down further. About 3.5 minutes to get it down to 1.75". I'm trying to shrink the vid down enough to get it on youtube. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under 2 minutes on your first try sounds very good. I start the timer on my first hit and it runs until I think it's at the legal bend and then stop exerting pressure...if I measure it and it's not at the legal limit, then the timer is still running of course until I get it to the legal distance.

acorn Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks Ben. Actually everyone's PR'ing left and right and it got me pumped to Bend. I watched a bunch of peoples videos tonight including some of yours and captaincrush's PR bends as well as Booyah's. That got me even more pumped and gave me a better idea what to do to get that 7" bar in place to hit it. Then seeing where I was at on the camera while I was doing it helped me stay closer to where I wanted to be. Thanks guys. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 I don't know if my FBBC stuff is on its way yet or not. I was expecting it yesterday. I can't seem to get John to email me back or respond to my PM's. Does he normally send a conf email or anything when stuff ships? - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always sent me a confirmation e-mail (FedEx) when the stuff is shipped out. It is usually 2 days after you get the confirmation e-mail that the steel arrives at your door. He is probably busy because he has ALWAYS responded quickly to any e-mail that I've sent him. Give him some time man because I can assure you his products are well worth it.

antarath Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I got my FBBC goods exactly 7 days after he shipped it, like we agreed. And I live in Norway. So it'll be there soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 I got my FBBC goods exactly 7 days after he shipped it, like we agreed. And I live in Norway. So it'll be there soon He emailed me the shipping quote last tuesday saying it could ship last weds. for monday delivery, and I promptly emailed him back with the go ahead. I haven't heard back from him since even with a couple emails and PM's. I know he's prolly busy but I'm starting to feel like its just me. I still don't even know if its in route and I'm leaving on vacation on Friday for 2 weeks. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
