I'm dead tired. But man, we all had a great time. The highlight was Mike's unfathomable bend of a 560 pound bar (6" Red) performed reverse grip! Robert is an awesome guy who travelled all the way from California for the contest! When he nails his bending technique - watchout! Russell killed a Hexabastard for the first time, with room to spare! I even managed a reverse grip bend with a Bastard after the contest. Jason is just an all around solid grip guy, who bent bigger stuff after the contest!

great job everyone!

Eric was that a reverse bend to 40deg? 60 deg?

[David Horne]

Eric,

Superb stuff - congrats to all. I'll put the results in the top 3, and also the bends as you mentioned in the pm.

Looks like we all had fun yesterday, and yes last night I was dead tired, now I'm just stiff and sore! LOL

Geat Job everyone

[EricMilfeld]

Smitty, thanks! All the reverse grip bending required atleast a 40 degree bend in 30 seconds. Mike, however, sometimes confuses 40 with 90! I had to talk him into his 6" reverse grip Red bend, which calibrated 50 pounds heavier than a Huge Bastard, but boy was he and the rest of pleased when he took to about 44 degrees with no problem!

David we appreciate all your hard work. Thank you! After 8 hours of sleep I'm ready for another contest! I better reevaluate my condition in a couple of hours, though.

And thanks Alawadhi and Thorsten!

I forgot to call in sick Saturday night, I completely lost track of time. ( I called my Lt. at 23:00 and thats when i'm supposed to go on duty. WHOOPS)

I got a P.R. for the drive from Fort Worth to Marlow. 1 hour 30 minutes.

Then I went to work and didn't get to bed till Sunday at 11:30. Up for 29 hours...

Well done everyone. Sounds like you had lots of fun. Big congrat to Eric for winning and for a very good result in the two hand pinch. Fantastic reverse bend by Mike!

I just got home about 2 hours ago.

Went there to have some fun and get some help on my bending and did both.

Met some very good people Eric,Mike,Russell & Jason it's always fun when everyone

is pushing each other to do there best. I had a pr in every event and got to witness some

very strong bends.

[com202]

I hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation and I'm happy to hear that you made it home safe.

With a little technique work on your bending and I bet you will start flying through the steel. You've got some really strong hands.

It was a pleasure meeting you, hopfully we'll get to meet up again.

[opnsysme]

Great numbers ya'll, I've been so busy as of late I haven't even been on the board for months. Maybe next year I can return to Eric's contest.
