Race To The Red Nail


Chez

Recommended Posts

Mike Krahling sells the BB wraps... he's on FB; although I've never used them. They are good wraps from what I hear. A lot of guys just use dbl. IM wraps & slowly reduce the padding till they bend the Red in singles.

Those Fastenal stores like to hide in the weirdest places. I didn't realize I had one 15 minutes away until I started looking for Edgins.

This might be a silly question, Is Ironmind the only place you can order the rednail?

Ya, I think ironmind is the only place right now. I know they are a little pricey, but you are going to need a bunch for training.

Tried the grade 8 TomS. Sent me, felt insanely springy. I did it in Imp singles thats all

i use now, i have been sticking with 7in 5/16 crs but that grade 8 had to be put in my record book.

So here it is:

Way to stick with it Josh! Try chalking the front and back of the pad it will help grip it better. You're close to the red now!

It could be argued that the grade 8 sweep & crush are just as hard as a RED! I believe the red kink is a little tougher though imo... again yer not far away bud!

I ended up ordering 2 batches of reds before I veered on it. I wanted to make sure that I could bend it at any time and on command before I was comfortable enough tocall Ironmind. I actually bent my first Edgin the day before my certification and my hands were tender and bruised after that battle. I wouldn't suggest doing something stupid like that though. :)

I no the edgin is hard, but how much harder that a red?

It's a lot harder. When I tried my first one I thought, maybe they gave me some kind of Super Bolt. Haha. It took quite a while and the right pad combo just to move one.
