Bill Piche Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 3 feats on it. Card tearing. It was cool and I will clip it and make a short movie clip. ONE beer can busted the same as John's 12 pack. You didn't even get to see the busted can on the ground. Putting this one up is ho-hum after John's blitz. Pulling a SUV with his pinky in a fist closed position. This looked too easy. No strain at all in fact. Barely pulled and the SUV started a full roll. It looked so effortless that it just couldn't be hard to most gripsters. Sorry Tommy, I've set some high standards for my movies and this one stays on the cutting room floor. Thanks for sending the tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gripper42004 Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 The reason the pinky pull look'd so easy is because it was, for me.When someone can do something & make it look easy other's will always look upon it in disbelief.

Roark Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Tommy, Be cautious about using the word 'always'. Kinney made the #4 look easy, but many accept that closing. Others are suspicious BECAUSE it looked so easy AND he was grinding the handles as casually as I would crinkle a paper towel. Strongman performers learned long ago that even if a feat is easy, if the audience perceives it as easy, then they wonder why the performer is working so far below his level.

Bill Piche Posted April 26, 2003 Author Share Posted April 26, 2003 There was no visible strain at all. I've done a dead hang from a chin bar with 200 additional pounds with ring and pinky in eagle loops and it was for seconds and it hurt like hell and I grimaced like hell (documented in a previous MILO catalog by the way). So, I also had some perspective to go by. When I saw it, I was like...Ok...looks WAAAY too easy. Maybe you are right Tommy. The thing is, even the vehicle started moving too easily at the start and one would normally have to lean over a bit and pull hard with the WHOLE BODY using a harness to get it moving as easily as you did with one arm and attached at the pinky. Let alone you are like 160 and change? I also couldn't see if anyone was in the drivers seat. Yes, we have high standards here for proof.

Gripper42004 Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Everybody on the board might be able to pull my jeep with their pinky? I just thought it would look good on the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you know that's not necessarily true Tommy. No, I am not going to start another topic like the other one I did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
