Buccos1 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 ELITE! Talk about a short list. Way to go Carl! Thanks Daniel! I'm going to keep pushing the envelope with DU. That was super impressive! Thanks man! Sick bend! DU is easily the most painful way to bend for myself, much respect. Thanks bro! Yeah, my fingers were messed up after this one. LOL Great Bend. Congrats. Short list of people capable of that. Thanks bro! Now I want to get on that even shorter list of DU Reds with IMPs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Great work man! Like they said, short list right there. DU was how I got my bending start. Still have quite the soft spot for it, even though I don't look in the bending section often. Have been viewing it again because I've got a buddy who has re-started bending. Keep thinking he will eventually upload something here but I haven't seen it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll hit some huge bends either way. DU is the only style that I felt hindered by fat pads for the most part. I did bend the Fantastic with double pads, but it still felt very awkward.

I did bend the Fantastic with double pads, but it still felt very awkward. I'm gonna try! LOL I bent my first Red DU two years ago with doubles, and it was a tough bend, but I was able to take it down pretty quickly. Then, I started to attempt it in singles (IMPs and/or suede) and barely wobbled it. The pain was pretty bad too, with singles vs. doubles ... night-and-day! Over the past year, I started on it with BBWs and my best was 25 deg a few months ago. I haven't attempted one in a few months DU, hitting mostly the drillrod and bolts, which really seemed to help. I might do some experimenting with singles + wraps with the FBBC stuff. But, I want that Red DU with IMPs, which is the long-term goal for me. I came so close (2.25" or close) to certing the Grand Bast. a few years ago, but messed up my elbow, which still gives me some problems when I get that short. DU might be my avenue to the Grand?

Mike Sharkey Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Carl you should try some TORQUE certs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccos1 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Carl you should try some TORQUE certs. Are those the minimal padding reverse certs? My reverse is nowhere near my DO or DU. The only time I seriously trained reverse was about a month before the BITE. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sharkey Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Its definitely minimal padding, but there is also a 7" DU cert list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccos1 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Its definitely minimal padding, but there is also a 7" DU cert list. Awesome! Thanks for the heads-up ... I'll definitely check it out. On David Horne's site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
