the swiss Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Thinking about organizing these. Not sure about the events yet, but anyway I don't think the events are the main reason people are coming to this context Am trying to get an idea of how many competitors would be interested in coming, so please put your name forward if you are. ps: There IS snow here, in March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the swiss Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 looks like the comp is going to be on the 10th of March. events at the moment, in no particular order: - loading medley - double lever to nose - Axle clean - Axle max reps in 1min 30s with 80kg or 120kg - farmers walk.

FrankyBoy Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Some more details as I understood them: Loading Medley Many many different objects (up to 30 maybe) of different difficulty: Blobs, Block, Inch(s), Hubs, Plates, Stones (Pinch) and so on. Two rounds, one for each hand. Double lever Two loadable sledges mounted together. Axle Clean should be clear Axle DL for reps Two categories are used. So if you can't DL 120kg you can go with 80kg. Farmers Walk Towel style, one towel per hand loaded with ~50kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Becker Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thats right Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the swiss Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks guys! Steve if it's me you're talking about, I'm closer to 80-82kg at the moment! Towel farmers are not 100% sure. I am thinking if there is snow outside, then maybe do a heavy "inside" farmers walk instead. we'll see. One more event to go. Yes Theo you would do VERY well at such a comp!

jimwylie1 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Am I right by thinking that Les Rasses can be accessed via Paris followed by a train ride? I seem to remember David mentioning this last year. I've just checked the flights to Geneva and they are a little expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the swiss Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 yes. There is a direct train Paris-pontarlier, and I can take you at Pontarlier. Train is not extremely cheap, though. The cheap solution would probably be to fly to geneva avoiding friday evening/sat morning and sunday evening. looks like the last event will be max number of singles (for coherence with the other events) with a a gripper in 1 minute and 30secs. one round per hand. There will be grippers to choose from ranking from T to #3 (probably not harder because I do not really want to transform this event into a regular max gripper event) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 What made you ditch the farmers walk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the swiss Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 the farmers walk is not "ditched", the grippers are an additional event! sorry that this was unclear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Thats cool Events and David an likable Organizer not 100%sure but I look forward Agreed. David and his wife are one of the nicest couples i've met And this comp is FUN. Jim it would be great if you could make it this year, David would have to give his best for once lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
