wscorpion Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Sub 2 minutes should be possible, but 2:23 is ok as well: http://www.dailymotion.com/mvogels/video/x...-3-pieces_sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman248 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) The video is still processing, but 2:23 is crazy. It took me about 15 minutes to snap a yellow nail the other day. Edited January 4, 2009 by Rocketman248 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman248 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Ok, video finished processing. Now I see where I'm going wrong. I was just bending it back to around 90-100 degrees. You're bending it completely over on itself. That's pretty freakin strong. I gotta work on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuc Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I tried it yesterday Mark, but I realised you are crazy strong; I couldn't bend the nail back the way you did, I'll keep practicing.. :bow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timiacobucci Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I know this isn't a very strong nail in the scope of things, but I feel this feat is extremely impressive as you perform it Mark. I am actually much more impressed by this than simply a very hard bend. I still don't know how the hell you open the nail to straight in that fashion without having it flip around on you. I can't seem to stabilize it at all to get much power into it. It must take some serious overall grip and wrist strength to lock down on it like that and stabilize it. And yes I was thinking that would be a very bad ass feat for a show. I had always though snapping would take way too long and be boring, but you've certainly proven that wrong.

I can't seem to stabilize it at all to get much power into it. It must take some serious overall grip and wrist strength to lock down on it like that and stabilize it. I think it's more a technique thing then serious grip and wrist strength, although it does pump my fore arms a lot when doing this, but I don't really feel that's a hard thing to do with these nails And yes I was thinking that would be a very bad ass feat for a show. I had always though snapping would take way too long and be boring, but you've certainly proven that wrong. Would be nice indeed... Guess with some extra practice and an extra wrap already ready to prevent re-wrapping, 1:30 should be possible. Just practice it a bit, I'm sure once you learn the technique it's not that hard at all Edited January 9, 2009 by White Scorpion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDarty6173 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Dude, that is very impressive. I have a really hard time trying to bend back already bent 60D nails, let alone snapping them into multiple pieces. Awsome job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
