antarath Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) Hi there I got my first red a couple of months ago, along with some bastards. Been bending quite a few of em, but was too lazy to make a video hehe. So here it is, just something to watch for those who are interested That last touch on the crush was the hardest for me on this one. Gotta work on that crush. Bastards up next Mats Edited May 22, 2007 by Mats Erik Quote Real name: Mats Erik Engelsvoll
dimmers Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Nice vid Mats!!! can't believe you started that thing off reverse! strong work and yes, it's about time you put a vid up if you've been doing these reds for a while great work again Mats Quote
liam.mccaffrey Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) good vid, especially the kink ive noticed you do something slightly different to most on the crush. I noticed because i do it too and i wondered if you had any problems. I think its causing my hands to hurt more than they should. when you crush, instead of keeping your forearms horizontal you pull them underneath you hands kind of pulling the ends of the nail together using a lot of wrist. Would you agree? I was wondering if we were using poor technique on the crush as thats the part i struggle with the most also. I'm not strong enough to push the ends of the nail together so i kind of lever them together with my wrists, if ive called it wrong please be offended im looking to improve my technique rather than have a dig at anyone have a look at my vid see what you think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDUdKs3e69I This post is in no way a criticism that was a really great bend. EDIT I have had a look at some more vids of people i don't normally watch, this may not be as unusual as i thought Edited May 22, 2007 by liamcafs Quote

JoeGrip Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Now thats a nice bend! That reverse at the start was all wrist almost a strict form I guess, haven't seen that style, crazy stuff man. :rock Quote

wscorpion Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Very nice work! Did you actually kink it in reverse, or did you just tried it and decided to take over in DO? It's hard to tell on the video Quote Mark Vogels -------------------- "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."

antarath Posted May 23, 2007 Author Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Thank ye all very much! Very nice work!Did you actually kink it in reverse, or did you just tried it and decided to take over in DO? It's hard to tell on the video Yeah, but only a small kink I'm training to get it to 40 degrees. My pr so far is only about 10 degrees This post is in no way a criticism that was a really great bend. No worries!! That's why I posted this video after all Interesting post there ! If I improve my crush, I might be able to finish off that bleedin' huge bastards that keeps getting stuck on 110 degrees And yeah the crush on your video was very similar to mine. Impressive and explosive kink tho! Mats Edited May 23, 2007 by Mats Erik Quote Real name: Mats Erik Engelsvoll
liam.mccaffrey Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 its easier to fire into it with more padding on the fingers. i can't get on with im pads, i think i might train to kink it DU for the cert and finish it off DO Quote
