David_wigren Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) Picked up my package from FBBC today and had to give one of theese a go. My first 12" spike vid was crap. Also tried a DC1 horseshoe and took it just past 90 (HARD). Wanted to post that vid to, but the memory card maxed out 12" FBBC spike Theese spikes was a bit shinier looking than thoose I got with the advanced bag. Also felt easier Edited January 18, 2008 by David_wigren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiMcMullen Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Killed that spike David!!! Just out of curiosity what # was on the leg opposite the DC1's you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thank you Zach, it says 8. Why? Do theese numbers tell anything about the shoe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thank youZach, it says 8. Why? Do theese numbers tell anything about the shoe? Don't really know, they may be batch numbers or factory designations like Tim T suggested or they could mean something else. My guess is people who do know what they mean are few and far between and well away from grip. The ones I've bent say 27, Nick R. has some super tough ones that he can't finish to 180 that say 31. Just an observation that my one day prove either completely useless to shoe benders or useful for incremental progression as the #'s and difficulties roll in.

David_wigren Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 I checked an old shoe and that one said 27. I would think that the 8 and 27 where pretty much about the same. The 27 might have been a tad harder. But it's hard for me to estimate because I'm not an experienced horseshoe bender. I've got 2 full bends under my belt and 2 DC1 both stuck just past 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 You sure that was under 2 1/2"! Yes... I know it doesn't look like it on the vid. But I measured it with a caliper and it was about 1/2, meaning 2" under 2 1/2... very hard to tell with the naked eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thanks everyone! Dude,do ya think you could do another one,that one looked like it took a lot out of you Haha, yeah I went to se the doctor today. Turns out I fractured my spine in 5 places, and actually ripped the mendula ablomgata so from now on all my bracing will be over the handle of my new wheelchair. Caved 3 ribs and punctured a lung. Broke several fingers and shifted several bones in my hand. And from the strain I substained severe brain damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autolupus Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 And from the strain I substained severe brain damage That's a given! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booyah!!! Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Nice bend David!!!! Too easy for you Maybe cut one down to 7" and bend it unbraced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Nice bend David!!!! Too easy for you Maybe cut one down to 7" and bend it unbraced Just for anyone curious, those things are about an Edgin level at 7". Probably less springy, but they cal'd at the same level, 565, so David you're probably capable of it. Go for it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Sounds cool! I will deefenitly try one unbraced at 7". Probably cut away the head aswell just to get a better grip on the bar. I've got some 10" FBBC spikes. Havn't tried them. They look way brighter than the one I tried last week, but not shiny like this 12"er. I'll go for the 10"er aswell and compare it to a cut down 10" from the shiny 12"er and see how they compare strengthwise Thanks everyone!
