lone Wolf Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) The events would 1. Grippers ( got to get the rest om grippers calc. ) 2. 1" FBBC V-Bar ( all weight will be calibrated ) 3. IM Hub 4. Rolling Thunder 5. 2HP ( 2 York 45's milled plates ) 6. 3" wrist roll for time 7. Medley not sure of any bending will be in the mix if I can get Hubgeezer & Steve B. to come ? Edited November 23, 2008 by lone Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 PM sent. I think we could get Haugen if there was the Axle. He could reclaim his record. Bending would probably lose me and Haugen. I do have a Euro Pinch device I got from Horne if the contest materialized and I attended. Just so others know, I have been lobbying for "an over 50" grip contest somewhere, and this could be it, but I am working on a place more central to the International gripping community. Not to highjack Robert's contest, but he is now over 50, Steve B is, I am, Haugen is, and I am sure Chris Rice would like to travel to Los Angeles to win something. I don't really understand how Southern California is one of the biggest population centers in the US and we struggle for attendees for contests. Watch Robert, we start talking Geezers Only, and the young fellows will suddenly want to participate! Mike Corlett Salinas, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatBoy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Sound good to me. It will give me a reason to start grip training again. I will see if I can drag Thor out of retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Sacramento and I can get some guys to attend if it's in Northern Cali. We are all grip begginers so traveling long distances to get spanked will be a hard sell. I might be willing to travel for a whoopin' but depends on where. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be willing to travel for a whoopin' but depends on where. Andy Andy Grip meets are alot different than powerlifting meets, nobody is looking to beat up on newbies. Its great environment were everybody is learning and teaching each other. I always learn something new at every meet. You and your friends will walk away with tips and tricks that will take your train to the next level. I consider myself a grip veteran(not a very strong one) and I always look forward to a chance to help the sport grow by teaching newbies. I hope to see you there.

Steve B. Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Robert i would be very intrested also. Have not worked grippers in a long while. If you guys want we could have a warm up meet/practice at my place a few months ahead of time to see where wer'e at. Just a thought. Also Robert i have a couple of unique grip devices that i haven't seen in any contests if you want to add them to the events or medley. Edited November 28, 2008 by Steve B.

June sounds good, I'll be coming off an armwrestling tourney in May..should be pretty grip strong. As far as being a newb, I would love to learn but it depends on how far away the meet is. Like I said, if it's in Northern Cali you can count 3-5 people in. I might be willing to drive to So. Cal but it would probably be me and maybe one other guy. Have you narrowed down a location?

Hubgeezer Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I go to the AOBS every year. It typically is the second Saturday in June. For me, it would have to be after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lone Wolf Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 It's going to be in San bernardino at my house and I'll throw out a date by this Friday the end of June looking real good right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I will try to make it weather its in June or July. I spoke to Thor and he sound interested but is not promising anything yet. I have not been able to get in contact with K. Bussi yet, but I will keep trying. It would be great to see Mike, Adam, and Kevin shoot it out again. It would make for an interesting contest now that Mike is closing the COC#3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an event in the contest probably not Ben the reason being is if was an event Mike aka Hubgeezer and Steve B. wouldn't come . And they are 2 of main guys that got me into grip. I was thinking of having a 1/4x6 G5 reverse bend in the medley though where it wouldn't make much of a difference if they did or not in the contest placing.

vikingsrule92 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If this is after when I get back from Germany (Late June, I think the 20th or thereabouts) and I can get my dad to drive with me I might go to this. It's only about a 6 hour drive, even though I despise 1" Vbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only about a 6 hour drive, even though I despise 1" Vbar Great Derek it will good to have both and your dad there.
