Billy Jack Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 First 6" attempt a few days ago. Bend starts at 4:40. Failed at about 80-85 degrees on video. I did hit it one more time after I stopped recording and got it barely past 90. I was gassed, but it was definitely worth the fight. Any tips on my finishing technique would be great. My fat hands definitely hurt me on the last few degrees of the sweep. Thanks for watching, Kyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I have trouble with 6" x 8mm stock on the crush. Kink and sweep arnt bad but I feel my fingers get in the way and the crush stops me. Good bend though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Very strong work! Are you able to interlock your hands completely, or at least a bit? You can also try pulling the pads down an inch or more and that way it will give you a bit more leverage on the crushdown - and it frees up a bit of room for your hands between the tips of the short Red Nail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I know your pain. I hate the sweep area on short bars. Finding place to fit the hands becomes a struggle. Good attempt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pizzo Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Great attempt man...what I do on real short bends is slide the pads down just enough to get my pointer fingers on the bar and then dig my palms into the ends of the bar, bring it up high and crush down...if my fingers cant interlock in a strong position....I do this just until I can change to interlocked finger. I don't know if this advice will help or not but I thought I'd pass it on just in case. You will get this bend soon...very soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jack Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Thank you guys for all the responses and tips. Tommy, I will definitely watch the video ASAP. I appreciate you doing that again. IM pads move around so much when I wrap and I can't get them to wrap straight for shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I SUCK at wrapping. They always either bunch up or start sliding out at an angle so it looks like crap. Everyone of my bends the imp pads are not rolled straight. Sometimes to try and keep them straight I'll crease it and it bunches a little and I'll keep rolling right over it lol.
