luuc Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 You'll have to be patient to watch these video's, I'm still fooling with the camera, showing the measurements from the right angle, hanging the bar on the rack where it's hardly visible, standing too far away from the camera, ... Sorry for all of that. (12,09mm thick, first 'long' bend ever.) The bar is 11.96mm thick (comes from the same bar as the 15,5" however), unfortunattely it's not really visible... Next time I'll try to use a better quality. (Just within 5 minutes, you really have to be patient to watch this one, the first 50 seconds can be skipped .) I've got even more respect for you benders now I've finally done some longer stuff. Luuc Quote The art of barehanded bending
Stew Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Well done, 14" x 1/2 is a hard bend and you made it look easy. There are only a few people that have done better and you look like you have plenty more in you yet. Quote
wscorpion Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I'm not able to look at the vids here, so I'll take a look at them when i get home Stew, actually I think the 7" x 10mm is even more impressive. Especially the crushdown on those things is very hard.... Nice work Luuc!!! Quote Mark Vogels -------------------- "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."
Paul Knight Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Are you training in a basement? Great bends! Quote Gripcerts Paul Knight YouTube
luuc Posted May 16, 2008 Author Posted May 16, 2008 Thanks guys!! The 7" was much harder then 14" indeed, but cutting the 12mm to 15,5 and 14" was a guess, so next time 13" will go down! I train in a shed that has just been build, it trains a lot better than in my own room , it's still empty, but that will change. Quote The art of barehanded bending

Thats an awesome shed - perfect for training! I need something like that! congrats again and I'd like to see that race w/you and White Scorpion! Quote Gripcerts Paul Knight YouTube
luuc Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) I'll just post the 'contest' video's here. 13,5" (343mm), 11,86mm thick HRS. When bending I remembered the wise words of Mark; 'there's also the confidence you need to bend it.' I think it helped, next time the 13" will go down! It's the forth 'long' bar, and I'm starting to get a little technique, so beware Mark. Edited May 22, 2008 by luuc Quote The art of barehanded bending

I'm feeling more confident about attacking the 11"-er and 10.5"-er as well, but still want to give my body some more rest due to the injury. In the mean time, let's hope you'll be able to catch up.
