Has Anyone Killed The 8" Edgin Yet?

Recommended Posts

I read a little while back that John at FBBC was starting a new cert for the 8" Edgin as an un-braced bend. Has anyone done it yet, just curious if there is a "first person" on the list yet, next time he updates the listings.

I just got mine today, and i was thinking og giving it a try on Friday!

I know Eric has done one - pretty sure it was a "Triangle" that he bought from Ace Hardware

I hurt my thumbs today

to see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

the only thing that's real.

The plates ripped my hand…

That old familiar sting;

tried to super-glue it closed,

but it ripped open once again.

When will I PR again,

my 48mm friend?

I'm tired of being on the

Top 50 list… toward the end.

And you can have it all,

my euro pinch device…

It will let you down

It will make you hurt.

OK, Thanks Paul :D . Now atleast i know there is no rush for me to do it right away. I'll put it off for a couple of weeks.

I don't think Eric bending it years ago would put him on the list - I think its whoever turns a vid into John first

I bent them regularly when I was building up to the 7" version for a contest last year. The kink is tougher for less flexible folk but the crush feels about like a Shiny.

I haven't checked the certs email in about 2 weeks, might get to it tomorrow night if the caseload isn't too bad at work. Unless someone has a cert in already, then I don't have anyone on that list yet. Only FBBC stock counts for FBBC certs. You can't bend a Red & count it for a Bastard cert, obviously.

I like heavy things.

John, could you let us know when you do get a chance to check your e-mail certs. If it is still open, i'll try one tomorrow night. If someone already did one, then i need to hit that grand shiny again. Decisions, decisions :whacked

Mike, don't waste your time on an 8" Edgin right now when you're so close to the Grand Shiny!!! An 8" Edgin is freaking child's play compared to the Grand Shiny.

Thank you for the advise, It means alot coming from someone that is already where i am trying to get to. :D I'll hit that Grand Shiny again (with a warm up bend this time) on Saturday afternoon.
