Congratulations to Chad on becoming the 1st National Champ for the US and to all of those who showed up and put it on the line. Based off of the results, just a couple of comments:

-Great to see John Eaton put together the contest we all know he's been capable of :rock

-Chris Rice's pinch is getting downright nasty

-What the heck was in the medley? Chad, Jedd, and Andrew would

walk through any medley at any contest I've been part of and it looks like Chad won and if their was 20 items then not even he finished it??

-Some surprising results on the steel bending! More details please!

-What was that 3.5 calibrated at?

a well run contest for sure. Smitty and Jedd did a hell of a job.

I gave a lesson on how to choke in the 2hp, but that's another post.

the medly was odd. I think the axle took a lot out of people. there were a lot more reasonable items than I thought there would be. And people had some trouble with weird stuff. I brought a 35# hub that seemed to give a lot of the big guys trouble. I'm sure video will be showing up soom enough.

a great time meeting everyone. Right now I just want to get back to training right away to get ready for the next one.

- hubs, tons of blobs, wide 35's for pinch, levers, stuff by the face, globs, kbs by the bottom,

-Some surprising results on the steel bending! More details please!

- lots of guys missed big bars by a few degrees and had to settle for a lesser bend to get it in the books, Paul had a huge effort to get that bar in 30 seconds and reverse

-What was that 3.5 calibrated at?

- not sure, but it is brand new out of the package
