David_wigren Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Had a good session today again. I'm trying to focus on not getting them off center but as long as they go down it I'm happy. Huge shiny pic: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=7702 Also did some other stuff. Managed to move the insane a bit further. I have to key my crushing form for theese short bends. But it feels doable with some training. And since my kink felt strong I attempted some other stuff with some success. Huge shiny video being uploaded on youtube right now... It is sure taking its sweet time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Great bend brotha!!!That huge shiny sure is a stubborn sob! I'll say! When it's finished processing, check the kink and sweep time on this bend. Still it took 4-5 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 That looks like a tough bend Probably what I have to look forward to if I ever get to the shiny level. Fast kink, brutally long crushdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Knight Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Now we're talkin!! thats a tough bend! - I think it helps the crush to kink it fast - seems like the slower you kink, the wider the bend, making for a harder crush - also the steel heats a little more when you kink it fast too (but no so much on stainless or bolts ) Nice work David! thats one to be proud of!

David_wigren Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thank you guys. Matt, I don't know if we are cursed or blessed. The crush does get easier if you kink them fast. And even if it's stainless it still gets heated. And the curve is very important. Some of my bends when they get off center it usually a bad move to try and bend the other side more. Because it turns it almost to a half cirkle, wich makes the crushdown harder than if it would just be off center. Crap the video is still processing something must be wrong with it. When I get home and it's still not up, I'll delete it and upload it again. Anoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 This one raped my heart. I have no idea what this means, but those are some awesome bends anyway haha thank you. What I mean was that it left me crippled mentaly and even though I sort of felt like I had more strength in me, it wasn't at my disposal anymore because mentaly I was done for the day.
