vikingsrule92 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Hey Sam, sorry I've been caught up with school lately and haven't been checking this. I don't have an easy bastards and I think acorn only has a few and is pretty stingy with them. I'll send you some of my 5/16" x 7" which is similar to an easier bastard, some hard bastards, some 5/16" HRS, some 1/4" Sq and Stainless Sq, some 60ds, and some bolts. I'll send you some crazy hard JH G5s and you can see how you fare. I can only send like 4 lbs of stuff because in order to send more over seas it would cost me like $30, while with 4 lbs of stuff it's only $10.

MalachiMcMullen Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Wow! Impressive bending Sam! That red will be yours soon! I say you could measure it months now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) thanks. Been bending a lot lately (more on this lately) also busy with work but have managed to get back into the bodybuilding. The size is coming back. Bending wise since the grade 8 i have bent a shiny 5/16''x5'' bolt (harder than a G5 IMO not as hard as a grade 8) and also managed 7''x1/4'' square that Pete was kind enough to send me (i think it was FBBC Pete can confirm if it is or not??). This was a hard bend, but once kinked it wasn't too bad! Cut a red down to just over 6'' couldn't kink it though. Im wraps, as per usual, were used so once i bend a red i will be ready to cert.

CoC#3 Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thanks Pete Alawadhi you are right mate what i meant was i think that to do that grand i am going to need some better wraps. For the first time i felt like hand toughness limited me on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoC#3 Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Did you close the big daddy? haven't tried yet! i want to nail (pun intended) that grand bastard first. when do you want me to send it back i.e. how long do i have to train for it? these 60ds are easy Pete - i could bend them forever. Just playing around with DU, DO, helsep style and reverse style. Also played around doing parts of the bend barehanded. Auto - UK ones. Easy ones.

You can send her back when you can close her anytime That means when you want to send her back then send it. I really want to see her tights closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your are very near to the red and want to start leather????! Keep bending using IM pads and cert on the red THEN use leather. Funny how it's different for some people. I had never trained with IM pads before my certs (except for the few things when Booyah was over) and had no problem certing even though I only used leather to train. The only thing that makes them harder is that they aren't as cushy as leather.. Might be a little more uncomfortable, that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Your a beast Wes. For mortals like me I think it's better to stick to leather. Sam is like you and he might use leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
