ox3782 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I am planning on putting on a contest in June here at my gym at my home.I want to get an idea as far as interest,I have talked to a few people already who are definatley interested.So please post here if you are intersted anyone is welcome. I am thinking the First weekend in June Saturday seems to be the better day for contests. The events are going to be pretty standard stuff here are some Ideas that I have, 1.Grippers MM set 2.2inch axle DO DL 3.2"vbar 4.2hp if someone who owns one comes 5.Blob/object medley 6.Reverse style bending to 40 degrees in 30 seconds all 6" like GGC 7.Hub lift for max wheight on a good hub plate I have 8.After contest fun Events are subject to change and suggestion. Entry fee $25 Going to make it simple after we can order out for pizzas and subs and beer with entry fee money.that way there is more time for playing.I will get forms together.And instead of trophies I will get certificates together.Also my girlfriend will be making cookies of a few varities I am sure.It should be great time and I belive by posting it here it will be a qualifier for GGC this year by top 3 win or the feats list.I am about an hour and ten minutes south of TPS.My address will be on the entry form and I will email them once I finish them.If anyone has Ideas I am open for suggestion plus I am sure I am forgetting a step and if any questions please ask.I hope I will see some of you there looking forward to a great day.

ox3782 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thank you Charlie,I am glad you reminded me about the calibrations the Grippers and Wheights will be calibrated!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Brendan, not sure if you thought about this but that is A LOT of events for high intensity stuff like that. Most people will be absolutely wasted by the time you hit the medley. I'd suggest you cut 2 events (or just 1 if you prefer, 6 events is good), but just my opinion. You could always put the hub in the medley and/or eliminate either axle or 2" Vbar (Or 2HP would be easy to eliminate if you can't locate someone with one). Also, just by what I've done at ACGS and AZSAC I'd say you might be better off with 2-4 going 2HP, 2" Vbar, Axle, as Axle tends to waste hands the most for most I've talked to. Take all my comments with a grain of salt and run your comp however you please obviously, but you asked for ideas I wish I could come to this, but I'm poor as it is , if next year I get lucky and this coincides with my brothers graduation weekend count me in. I like the name though Edited January 21, 2009 by vikingsrule92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the name though Thank you for your suggestions Derek I definatley did not plan to run all those events those were just some of my ideas as far as events go.I agree that all of them are too much event triage is definatley in order and suggestions and recommendations like yours will be a big determining factor in the final lineup.Hopefully it all goes well and it will be an annual event.

matthcarl Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm definitely coming! As long as it's in June I should be able to make it out any Saturday. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I can bring my toys if interested, including a 1" FBBC vbar, and IM Hub, and 15 different grippers (none are calibrated, though). I also usually have a wide array of stuff to bend. I can bring out some super-hard horseshoes I have left from the FBBC sample pack if anyone wants to gve tem a try. I'll probably bring along some standard Diamonds as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnimalCage Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 When you say "Pilgrim", say it like John Wayne, pilgrim. Oh yeah, I am there! I'll have to start working on something else besides grippers, but it sounds great! I'm sure my boys will be there also. Just got my birthday money, let's see what's on the Ironmind site...
