EricMilfeld Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hey Eric did you ever get to calibrate that 3/8 x 7 CRS that I sent Paul? I don't think I have. Let me check with Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hey Eric did you ever get to calibrate that 3/8 x 7 CRS that I sent Paul? I don't think I have. Let me check with Paul. I appreciate it Eric! I hope it calibrates at 800lbs. I can barely wobble it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booyah!!! Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Awesome bend on that square John!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Beatty Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Thanks! That's actually all because of Ben & Chad. I had no plans for a 3rd attempt, had toyed with the 5.5" Edgin until Ben said he was going to give the square a go, reminded me of our Mag certs at the 2006 BBB, so figured why not.

EricMilfeld Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Congratulations to Dave Thornton for taking down a 650 pound square bar he picked up at the Backyard Bastard Bash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dthor Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thanks Eric. The square stock makes for a good looking bend. I didn't get a chance to try it at the BBB. Did the bend at Larkin's Gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Great job Dave! Your bending is truly exceptional now. Do you think it was overall harder than a 6" Edgin or maybe on par to a 6.5" Edgin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dthor Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thanks Ben. My bending is low volume, and I was working the longer bends for John's Contest. I would rate the 5/16x7 Sq. harder than any 6.5" Grade 5. I was able to kink the square, which is half the battle with my flexibility. For myself, the 6" Grade 5 linear S was definitely harder, I was not strong enough to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Knight Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thanks Ben. My bending is low volume, and I was working the longer bends for John's Contest.

For myself, the 6" Grade 5 linear S was definitely harder, I was not strong enough to finish it. Nice wins!!! great work David! I agree - I would say the kink is harder on the square, but the crush is defenitly easier than a linear S. However, I would say the crush on the square is harder than the crush on those 540 Edgins @ 6" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 At the Arizona Cactus Grip 2 Paul Knight bent a 705 pound FBBC square crs bar and Rex Hubbard did a 6" triangle Edgin. Way to go, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 I required Rex to recertify on his 6" Edgin bend, as he was wearing elbow sleeves for this bend at the contest, which is in violation of rule #6. He bent this last night and has since posted the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Great job Rex! Pretty disturbing thought that an Edgin won't make it on the list anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
