dunkster Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Every week I've been trying a Red but I can't even get it started, the hand position definitely doesn't feel right, 6" feels more comfortable. Last week when I tried one I blacked out from the exertion on the initial attempt, which my brother thought was hilarious when he watched the video So after this failed attempt I went for the FBBC 7" 1/4 square and got it easier than last time I tried it, except for the crush down, with the painful hands I got trying the red. What sort of degree pre kink do you think I should try on a Red to see if that's easier because on all my bends the kink is the hardest?

David Horne Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Maybe you can start taping a bit of 3mm bar to the square stock, then 4mm, etc. This is how Elizabeth moved from the blue to the Grade 5, because she wanted to keep to a 6" length. Someone mentioned that to me, might have been Gazza. Well done! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
