matthcarl Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I did some bending today. I'm going to try and rest my hands for TPS, so this is my last session until then. 7x1/4 Square CRS in IM pads 5" G5 in IM pads 5.5" Round CRS Reverse I did a bunch more bending, which I'll detail in my log, but nothing I wanted on video.

bencrush Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Very nice! I'd rather bend Bastards than the Square stock, so you're really close man. Keep hammering away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big nasty Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Way to go Matt looking good hey how does 1/4 CRS compare to 1/4 Stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Way to go Matt looking good hey how does 1/4 CRS compare to 1/4 Stainless. You mean the square stock? I'd say the CRS is a shade harder to kink, but when it goes it goes faster and crushes easier. The stainless makes a much wider "U" shape, which makes it trickier for shorter lengths in my opinion.

timiacobucci Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Nice work man, I haven't got a chance to try square stuff with IM wraps yet, the only fbbc square stock I got left from what Braden gave me is 1 5" peice and I don't wanna mess with that in those wraps just yet. Have you tried a g8 yet? Is the edge of the square worse with those pads? I imagine it would be. I still feel like my fingers are gonna break before I kink a bastard DO with those wraps. Nice reverse too, where is your DU at? It is weird I find that my DU keeps up with my reverse wether I work it or not. Were those crs peices fbbc or from somewhere else? If they aren't fbbc how close is that stock do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Mike - what's the gripboard limit? I thought that bend went rather poorly, so I should be able to do it a lot faster. Tim - yes, I did a G8 in IM pads...I have a video of it somewhere, and it went pretty easily. 45 seconds or so. I do think the square hurts the forefingers a lot more than round. I gave up on a couple of previous attempts for that reason, but it seems like I've built up some resistance I've still only kinked a bastard in IMP, though, so may be a little optimistic. I haven't tried DU in a while. I think it's better than my reverse, but not by a whole lot. All the CRS I've bent is from FBBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booyah!!! Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 2 Minutes http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=5558 #9 After you do your Cert bend you will need to contact FrankyBoy with the information. I know you could have gotten it within the time if you would have known. The time limit actually seems to help get the bend because when you hit the metal fast enough, it seems to melt Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't have been so lazy and looked up the rules myself By the way, is there anything specific I need to work on for reverse? You certainly are tactful, but when someone who's bent an Insane reverse says my technique is "interesting" I figure I must be doing something wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autolupus Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Nice bends Matt! When I get back up to strength I'm going to do some bending in IM pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booyah!!! Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hi Matt, didn't mean to make you feel like you were doing anything wrong, it is a very good reverse bend, just a bit different than mine. Everyone has their own technique. Any issue would maybe be careful of torquing your right bicep. Keep bending them Man!!! I love this bending sport!!!

rniel Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Question where can i find G5 bolts? Is that a 1/4 or 5/16" G5 bolt you bent in the first video? Edited March 14, 2008 by rniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Question where can i find G5 bolts? Is that a 1/4 or 5/16" G5 bolt you bent in the first video? Some hardware stores carry grade five bolts, though they seem less common than Grade 2's and 8's, at least at local places around here. That particular bolt was 5"x1/4" and I got it with my bender's bag from FBBC. A 5/16" diameter G5 of any length is well beyond my capability at this point.
