matthcarl Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hi all. I had a somewhat disappointing bending session today, but I did get the 6.5" red (in 3 minutes) and thought I'd share the video. 6.5" red bend I had a number of failures as well. I tried the big golden and got it stuck at 3.5" and tried some IM pad bending. I couldn't get the 5.5" G8 or the 6" square CRS...then I tried 6.5" square and couldn't do that either. I have previously taken it down in about 30 seconds in IM pads, so I was pretty disappointed at my lack of strength today. Since it uses a different set of muscles, I tried for a DC2 horseshoe. I got it to 45 degrees, but this seems to be in another class from the DC1. Either that or I am just a weak wuss today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Great bend Matt!!! Don't worry I have those days ALL the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Good bend! Thoose type of days will come and go. And during one of thoose days it isn't the bends that makes it a good workout, it's all in the effort. If you did your best then it is a good workout.

Well done on the 6.5" Red Alawadhi, I read your earlier post about having a bad bending day and I thought I must be channeling your negative energy Anyway, thanks for the encouragement guys. I'll have to smash a few PR's next time to make up for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
