How about Saturday, April 26th, 2008? If it's a problem I can try and change my work schedule, but this happens to be the one weekend I have off in April.

I think I'll actually use vacation this time. :D I really don't want to go to work all night after competing all day, like last year. :whacked

I'll speak to my Sgt. about it, I don't see any problems though. Plenty of notice in advance.

Thanks Eric!

Opnsysme, I can most likely take off from work the previous Saturday.

Is Saturday, April 19th okay with everyone? If not, you can send me a PM message if you like.

As for Iowa or South Dakota... I'll get back with you on that. :D

I've heard back from everyone concerning the date change, and everyone can accept the change. So, the new date is Saturday, April 19th.

I'm glad you'll be joining us again, Matt!

I've already posted the events in another thread, but haven't yet posted the official rules. But here's the events:

Euro pinch

2" FBBC v-bar (one hand only to be contested)

bending 6" stock (any unbraced technique you prefer)

bending 6" stock double underhand

hang for time from a 2" bar with the competitors' body weights adjusted to the heaviest competitor's

We have a solid little group intending to compete:

you

me

Booyah

nailzilla

lone Wolf

A few more guys would be even better.

Well I don't know that I would be the heaviest but I'm in the mid 240s right now. I would be happy to fill my pockets with bent steel and lead shot at weigh-in though if it could help :D

I'm somewhere around 250. Hopefully that will change before the 19th. of April though.

As to the shoes I'm going to bring to the S.O.H.

St. Croix Ultra Lite #0, #1 and #2

St. Croix Polo #2

I have an assortment of other shoes, some used some new.

I'm not sure how many I'll bend before then and I'm sure I will get more by then.

Any requests( about shoes or anything else) let me know...............
