[CaptainCrush]

I wanna bend...

Speedy Metals 11/32 0-1 drillrod in under a minute.

Cert on the KOAB...I'm just lazy to set the camera up and film it.

Take down the Fastenal 3/8 x 7 0-1 drillrod

Get the MOAB at least moving from straight to 90 degrees or so.

[cberg]

[ewokhugo]

thanks Caolan! its my pleasure !:-)

[David_wigren]

It'll be fun to see all the stuff everyone's gonna put down under this year. I'm not good with loong time goals, I just see something and recognize if I can get it within reasonable time, and then I work for it. One step at a time

[foxyj75]

Been out of the bending loop for a while, but here are some possible goals for 09':

5.5''x3/8'' steelworks crs

insane brutal hex

insane shiny

6''x3/8'' fastenal 0-1 dr

Shiny in every way

DU 3/8'' x 7'' steeworks crs

7''x1/2'' 360 brass round

DU blob(an original, otherwise it wouldn't count! )

[Adam Moyers]

Red Nail Cert by 06-11-09/26th Bday

Bastard

Everything between a Bastard and Huge Shiny Bastard by the end of 09.

[crobb1320]

My Bending goals are,and this might sound kinda weak ,But for now:

Reverse a 6"g5.

finish a G8

Finish the crush on 5" g5(just a little past 90 now)

DO bastard and Red.

And when thats done I will decide new goals.

It feels good to be bending again after being away from it for pretty close to a year,I'd say 10 or 11months.

[diesel]

i might do the IM cert. not sure. i have a few more things, non bending related, that i want to accomplish before i go down that road.

[naturalstrength]

Bending goals for 2009:

Not to get as injured as I did in 2008

[gumpster]

Hmmm...

DO

FBBC 1/4" x 5.5" Square

FBBC 1/4" x 5" Grade 5 Bolt

Red

FBBC Bastard

7mm x 150mm Stainless (from Hugo)

5/16" x 6" hard Grade 2 Bolt (those are 6", not 6.5" Hugo )

DU

FBBC 1/4" x 6" Grade 5 Bolt

Reverse

FBBC 1/4" x 7" Square

FBBC 1/4" x 6.5" Square

FBBC 1/4" x 6" Grade 5 Bolt

+ a few PRs on locally purchased stock

I'm trying to be realistic (it took me 11 months to get the Grade 8 down). Hoping for a shiny, hex or Edgin would be setting myself up for disappointment.

[John Eaton]

I'm not much of a bender, because I won't practice or train it.

That said, I might try to get the Red Nail Cert out of the way as it's just a pain tolerance feat for me.

I might get on a horseshoe kick as well. Namely Diamond Classics they have given me trouble.

[easyWeight]

Good topic Hugo!

I'll list mine as I see myself doing first and easiest to hardest IMO.

Short-term (through the next month or so) DO Goals

6"x1/4" FBBC Square

5"x1/4" G8

6.5" Red

Big Bastard

Big Golden

IM Red Nail Cert ~ or at least bending them consistently in IMPs since the cert process may take longer

5.5"x1/4" FBBC Square

5 Red Nails in a row, minimal rest ~ just something I've been thinking about attempting in the near future

Long-term (mid summer to end of year) DO

Brutal Hexabastard +

Shiny Bastard +

6" Red Nail

Huge Bastard

Huge Golden

More IMP bending

DU Goals

G5

G8

Red Nail

+

Reverse

G5

7mm CRS

Obviously I haven't worked the other styles enough to have any real set goals yet, but my goals are to get stronger on them!

[Yersinia]

if my shoulder holds up im gonna bend a huge bastard. a shiny bastard . hexbastard.. and hopefully get Certified bastard soon :F

[ewokhugo]

Darin,

6" square will go down in less than 30 sec its just a matter to try it ... same for 5.5" square and 5" g8 because u have a killer crush.

u already did some bend with 1/4 " x 6" crs(reverse) i believe u can shot for one g8 at least.

i am not doing any type of reverse bending( its not good i know, not sure how far i can go) i am "hooked" again with DO! lol

John,

u have horse power man , bending world miss u!

Josh,

i know what u mean and i respect your "rest period".

so far so good! only 17 years OLD! waw!

u need to start it again maybe teaching non-benders to get the felling? this way u may catch the "light" again...:-)

David,

i understand your point but U NEED to shoot for something BIG!:p thats because your potencial its bigger than the "sky" and if u dont talk about it they may not happend

Adam,

i like your goals, few weeks ago u were in troubles to kink the 60 d nail , now u have GREAT goals!

looking for your red nail bend!

Fox,

its better to run because there are some Impressive bends there!

Nick:

red nail should be VERY easy for u i have no doubt.

Yersinia: i notice doing some shoulder work in the gym/(actually my garage)makes sense , otherwise my bending may suffer from it (and my health).

crobb:

i remember when u get injured , it sucks! welcome back , u have at it takes now(mental power) to overcome every previous goal!

Perry,

u can add 7 mm crs (DU) if u wish i think this bar its close to g5.

[tja]

I want to finally get the shiny DO. If things go well, Edgin would be nice. But most importanly, I want to nail the BIEW.

[ewokhugo]

good luck Joonas!

thats a great reward for all your hard work!

[luuc]

5/16 HRS bare handed, and 7mm CRS bare handed.

[ewokhugo]

impressive Luuc! good luck mate!

[acorn]

Already did my main goal for the year with a 6x5/16 FBBC square. But here are a few more

Mag shiny

Insane shiny

Insane Hex

Mag Edgin

Big KOAB

Huge KOAB

Big Square in 705 stock

6.5x11/32 303 SS

6.5x5/16 303 SS Hex

6.5x5/16 G8

6 x 5/16 G8

movement on Shiny KOAB

7x.384 DR

7"x10mm CRS

2 7x5/16 CRS taped together

Those are the immediate goals anyway. That and to lose enough weight to get 7" stuff back under my chin.

- Aaron

[John Beatty]

Since I pretty much max at the BBB, I'm going to aim for the Edgin Medley, and want to get the 7", 6.5", 6", and 5.5".

I'd like to hit a Grand Shiny this year, and an Insane Bastard.

[Matt Brouse]

Something around a yellow IM piece. Or the FBBC equivalent.

[ewokhugo]

i have to say Aaron impress me a lot ... he's already an elite bender and doesnt stop to challenge his mind to the limit.

John , best of luck! what about to create a new piece of steel/bar? it should be fun!

Matt: LOL , u will get the yellow barehand for sure. what about to shoot for a red (al least)?

Josh: its time to start it all over again! what are your records?(do,du and reverse)?
