The Return Of Jedi(myself)

[ewokhugo]

well , i decided to try my skills today after some injuries and low self-esteem .

first red went down in slighltly less than 2 mn ...

2 nd red ... much quicker but i made one mistake! lol slightly more than 2" betwen the legs...lol so it wont count for gripb cert.

3 bend ... 5/16"x7" 304 stainless steel (thanks Doug) around 90 seconds to bend not sure.

FINALLY

big moment...

the bastard!

around 1 mn (i think) but the SAME MISTAKE ...slightly more than 2" betwen the legs!...lol

so it wont count as a fbbc cert:-(

i feel better and i will bend another bastard again get the fbbc cert or try the golden or shiny lets see.

thanks for the support guys!

i will upload the 304 ss , red nail and bastard at youtube.

i am still slow but i may have improved my kink and crush.

let me know what do u think guys.

Nice bending! I am going to try some 304 SS again tomorrow.

never tried the shiny but 304 ss should be easier.

Matt, it shouldnt be a prob for u:-) i think u can take down one 6" 304 ss!

BASTARD BEND (slightly more than 2")lol

Heh, that Brutal Hex is something else! I think you have a good chance at it though after destroying all those bends yesterday!

[ewokhugo]

thanks Darin! i want to see u bending one 6" shiny (cant remember the name huge shiny?) u are really good with 6" stock!:-) cheers.

[cberg]

Way to go Hugo!!! You destroyed that steel man . Looks like the passion is back!!!! I better get to it or youll be passin me in no time . Definitely try a shiny, you can definitely get it man if you use the "Animal Power''!!!

[ewokhugo]

lol caolan!

thanks for all the nice words:-)

do u have any interest to get any fbbc cert? i am asking because there are a couple of guys here (great benders)= zach,doug,joonas,u of course(just to name a few) without any cert.

i believe it takes a lot of personality to keep doing great bends without asking for the cert.

i am not at that level yet , i would like to get the fbbc cert.

[cberg]

for me personally, I just do it cause its fun and I like getting stronger. I dont really care for the certs, but I think when I get that huge shiny Ill submit my first cert video lol

[ewokhugo]

caolan,

i understand your wish(become stronger) but what for?i mean any strongman/powerliftinbg comp?

the answer may be : NO! its just to compete against myself !?

Hugo,

I do like the competition, whether its against myself or against other people on the board. Bending bigger and bigger steel that you never even thought could be moved is also a very rewarding experience and a good confidence builder for sure!

I also plan to start going to at least one grip competition a year so it will come in handy there.

Might do some strongman shows in the future (not strong enough yet... maybe a few years from now) and nothing is more impressive to a crowd than bending big steel!

But the best thing Ive gotten from bending so far, is finally being able to beat my dad in an armwrestle haha .

What about you man, what makes you wanna bend?

[ewokhugo]

hi caolan!

thanks for asking!

i bend for the mental challenge to overcome the mind set limits ...

to get the rewards (cert) and trophies(when the bar its under 2" , i like to keep it with me, i feel great!)

to learn how to kill my fear (build more confidence inside me).

to "show -off to my friends "(really embarassing to say)

its more like a theraphy to me ...

i may say" i am looking for the man i was before the world was made "... (i may be one natural "bender" , never had a really good conection with any sports, was good with my hands: tennis,boxing(to slow but powerfull),handball but never become national contender.) now i feel bending its something "familiar"...

or /and

To gain more faith in my soul.
