John Beatty Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Well, I'd just about finished a 20 min writeup of the BBB4 & the stupid power kicked off as it is normal to do on a perfectly clear night at midnight with no wind or storms here in Pesotum. So now I'm a bit too tired to do it all over again. 1st Chad W 2nd John B 3rd Dave T 4th Nick R 5th Josh D Grippers Chad with a smash of a #4 Bending Me with a 6" Edgin followed be a 5/16 x 7" square CRS 2 hand medley - Chad with all items and a high row af the 2 Inches to finish tearing medley - Nick R, only man to get the crappy hard cards longways Big squeeze - Chad/Dave with 195 Herc Hold - Chad - the cars on ramps - very fun! After was the "what can Chad do?" show. He can do anything was determined after so many combo lifts of Inch, 2 45's, 3 25's, blob, hub, oddball stuff. Amazing bending, monster grippers, great performances & drive by all. Some of the tearing battles were epic. I'll post more on Mon, taking the kids to Six Flags tomorrow.

bencrush Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Congrats to the top 5 and to everyone else as well! Really had a blast John. Got to see some fantastic performances all around. I wanted to stick around and see what place I got, and whether I got a sword out of my shenanigans. Sorry I had to leave early but I just couldn't stand around any longer with my shoulder giving me trouble. It's back in now -doesn't feel like a million bucks- more like $20, haha.

nickr104 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 A Great comp put On by John Like the norm. Great people, great food and tons of fun!! It was a Pr day for me. Highest finish ever in a comp and my first first. I closed 150.4 gripper, Missed the 157. Bent a 6.5 shiny. Did ok in the 2 hand medley. I got stoped at the 2.5 axle like the other 13 guys. Got first in the tearing medley , 155 on the FBBC 2 hand pinch stetup, and held the HH for a huge 5 or 7 second. That thing was crazy heavy. After, I bent a diamond special 5 with a little help from Paul. Thanks Paul!! Then it was the Chad show. Picking up everthing in every combo you could think of. Thanks a ton John for puting on this comp and all the cool stuff in the prize package!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Had a lot of fun as usual, food was amazing as usual, and the prizes were great! My favorite prize is the straps with the naked ladies sewn on them. I don't even use straps but I'm going to look for an excuse to wear those to the gym. I was too blown out to try anything afterwards and we wanted to get back to the hotel to watch the fights but it sounds like we missed quite a show. Congratulations to Chad for breaking the American record on grippers! He JUST missed the 199 SE which is not only 4# higher BUT the sweep is murder. He'll kill that 199 #4 of Eaton's. Chad was dominant as usual. As Dan was telling Russ and Vic; "Chad just competes with himself and then there is everybody else". John Beatty had a huge contest. He won/tied the bending event, upset some guys on the pinch, had great times as far as the best of the rest in the 2H and tearing medley and then had a monster HH time with only you know who beating him. Dave did his usual, top 3-5 in every event and pulled out his usual top 3 finish. The guy never makes a mistake and his pinch was on fire yestereday! Nick had a great contest and his strategy was top notch. He did the bending event perfect, picked up huge points when he had to on the tearing medley, and hit make or break weight in the 2HP. Very smart contest and as someone who enjoys the strategy portion of these things as much as anything, my hat's off to him Met Paul and we had a blast. We've decided next time we tie in an event we're doing a SFII match as the tiebreaker; shoryuken biotch! That boy has some serious gripper power and look for him to hit the MM3 no problem. Thanks again to Dan, Vic, and Russ for letting me stay with you guys. I've got to head off to dinner with the family. Looking forward to doing it again next year.
