David Horne Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Here's my new article on Steel Bending/Breaking Contests of the 1950’s - The Challenges and Challengers. http://www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/steelbending50s.html Hope you enjoy it. David Quote
Tim71 Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 David, Much appreciated the research and time you've put into that. I like it alot. I never realized the breaking thing was so popular back then. I wished we still had the vadeville shows and stuff like that. I never see any kind of performances around me. I'm not much into speed myself so I don't know if that's something I'll ever try but at least I'm contemplating it now. Tim Quote
