AdamTGlass Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 John Brookfield and Richard Sorin, before those two no one in the USA even talked about grip. Dennis Rogers for the things he has shown the world through his art David Horne and John Beatty who do more to promote grip sport than anyone else i can think of The guys at Dieselcrew, who started me off on this whole bending $h!t, my favorite addicition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ox3782 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 You know you guys have named a lot of great people who are legends of our sport but you've forgotten to mention one of the first guys in this sport, John Brookfield. He was the guy who first bent a Red and made grip a big deal. He was one of the original innovators of this sport and is a legend in my mind. Damb straight Derek!!! John Brookfeild really spark a lot of interest for me in grip and bending!!! I admire many people on here as well too many to list great job everyone this is a great site and its great to know all of you!!!

Alawadhi Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I think it's IronMind that made John what he is. So in my opinion, without IronMind, many of us wouldn't be here now. I know I won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I think it's IronMind that made John what he is. So in my opinion, without IronMind, many of us wouldn't be here now. I know I won't. John started on grip training well before he knew of Ironmind, about 6 years according to Mastery of Hand Strength. However Ironmind did kind of make John a "household" name of sorts among gripsters so i guess some of the credit should go to them. However, I don't want to start this argument again, but it is too bad Ironmind has lost such touch with reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I only listed gripboard members but i agree that Brookfield and even more so Ironmind contributed a lot to increase grip's popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
