David_wigren Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I finaly got the oportonity to try the 10x3/8 G2 unbraced and it wasn't all to bad. Long unbraced are a bit tricky to start but after the first kink they turn into a walk in the park 10x3/8 G2 unbraced 6" G5 2x2 leather pads This one was a bit scary bacause right after the bend my right pinky went completely numb. You can actually see me check my finger and moving it just to check it's not broken. It got 100% fine a couple of minutes after. So I attempted the: 5.5" G5 in 2x2 leather pads This one is a bit blurry. I experimented with my camera and found a close range mode. Perfect I thought, because now you would really see the end of the head. But When I stepped back I got all blurry. No biggie though because you can still see all the vital information of the bend docomentation. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your pain on those 2" pads, I am working on some new stuff and have using them a lot. Stick to what Gazza has already told us- It works!

crobb1320 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Good god David,that 10" bolt unbraced you are certainly flexible.great work on those bends. :rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks Adam and Charlie. The pain isn't so bad once you're mentaly prepared for it. Didn't hurt my pinkies. But I was worried that it might have damaged it. But it was probably just a nerve that got pinched. I only first noticed my pinky was numb when I was measuring it. It hurt my wrists though And being flexible really helps the 7" kink. Many stuggle with it just for that issue. I don't have that problem and for that I'm put at a great advantage when it comes to kinking stuff. Crush is the same for all though. Perhaps that's why my crush is so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Those are some amazing bends. I used to think I was flexible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) Awesome freaking bends David! I just watched the first vid, crazy flexibility David. Insanity, pure and simple! :rock PS, thanks for the mention! Your not doing so bad with shoes yourself either though Edited March 22, 2008 by MalachiMcMullen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thank you guys. You guys keep talking about the flexibility, don't forget how unhumanly strong I am to be able to do this No it's mostly flexibility. I used to dislocate my shoulders alot when I where a kid but now they sit very secure in their position. Zach you deserve a mention. I consider myself pretty good with the shoes and they kicked my ass. The DC2 would be a joke to you, you just havn't tried it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Great bends! Way to take #1 on the 2"X2" pad list! I might have to get a few more on tape to push you a bit:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks everyone. To everyone that hasn't tried the 2x2 pads yet, try it! But only if you've been at this game for a while. It's not anything I recomend for total beginners. And test what style works best for you against easy stock before you go all out. Great bends! Way to take #1 on the 2"X2" pad list! I might have to get a few more on tape to push you a bit:) That would be awsome! I don't plan to stop here. I'm just about getting started with theese 2x2 pads. Would be fun to have something to chase beside Gazza's super stainless bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Get yourself some 3mms thick belt leather cut them 1.5" x 1.5" and train on these when you go back to the 2" x 2" x 1/4inch thick pads your PRS will be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
