climber511 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Can't wait to see my first event live.. I don't know you so if I'm out of line, I apologize but I'd like to offer some small piece of advice based on my own experiences. Do NOT go just to watch, sports are to play, not to watch. Sign up and compete no matter if you have ever done any of this stuff before or not. You'll have a great time, you'll learn ten times as much as just watching and you'll not walk away saying - "darn, I should have done this"! Every one who has ever attended one of my grip contests to watch has told me this! And with Jedd running it - you couldn't learn from a better guy.

Jedd Johnson Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Special Announcement. Following the World's contest this weekend, I will be running as much of the Monster Medley from Nationals as possible, as a test to see how things are set up. Video will be taken and provided on my YouTube Channel so that all the athletes coming to Nationals will have an idea of what to expect. This Medley will contain several Nationals qualifying feats so that anyone who has not had the opportunity to qualify throughout the season will be able to do so at this Leg of the Worlds. Also, provided all the hardware is ready for the Wrist Roller event (I am very close right now) we will run that event as well. So, the leg here in Wyalusing will include Vulcan, EuroPinch, and Wrist Developer, plus the Wrist Roller and Medley. I will run this as a 5-event contest with Strongman Scoring to see how the results pan out on Game Day, similar to the Lift at Jedd's event in August 2009. Thanks!
