My wrists are still sore from Flo's visit last friday. So I need a bit of rest before hitting bars hard again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Franky, G8 and Red's are crazy talk. I admire folks who can do this type of bends any style never mind reverse! Well I have one G8 bolt and will leave it quite a while before I have a go. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yes, G8s are like precious little diamonds over here. However, if you need some just tell me. I guess, I will definately have a shoot for a G8 reverse style at the upcoming germans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smp76 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Been a long time since any reverese style so I just hit (2) 60d nails and brought the first to 90 and the second to 75ish. I did not have any Grade 5s so I wrapped up a G8X6" and gave her a whirl and well, she took out a chip out dipped it and told me I had weak sauce. I set down the straight and narrow lass and walked home in shame. Gonna get some G5s today I think, I remember their moral flexibility to be, well more flexible... -Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidenfan Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Mind if I join in on this? Not in the same league as you guys, but this will get me motivated.

maidenfan Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Got a 6" Grade 5 bolt tonight - PR for me. On a side note, I got a line on 6" Grade 5 bolts for $.19 cents ea ( .69 cents for G8's) - seems like a fair price to me (considering I paid .75 cents at the hardware store).

But I got a wabble out of a G8......my right wrist is swollen.......just going with ice for now and my fingers are tingly.Probably inflamed something around a nerve. This is brutal!! I am humbled....

David Horne Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Morgan, Great bending, and good prices on the bolts. Burner, The G8 looks a toughy. It'll be interesting to see who does it first. My wrist is strengthening all the time with this, and the thumb webbing is toughening up now. Keep going! Franky, I only have one G8 bolt so I'm waiting till I feel ready. But last night was good, and maybe I could have damaged the G8 somewhat? Another day. Hope you nail a biggie today.
