Jedd Johnson Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Guys, When I arrived at Aaron's place early this past Saturday before the Griptoberfest contest, it was the first chance I had to really talk with the guy in all the years I've known him. He showed me some of the stuff he's working on in his little mad scientist grip workshop, and I must say I was blown away. He operates on a knowledge level far far far beyond most of us, and me especially! Aaron, for those of you who don't know, is also the guy that set up all of the Rankings lists. Well, he's never stopped making this thing better. Today, he expanded it so it's no longer just a Top 50 list anymore, it's a Top 100! And, he also modified the weight-class view screen so that it's no longer just 15 people listed per class, but 25! He also added a submission for North America, so you can view Canada and USA combined, plus, he recently added a report that combines all of the different gripper closes into one list. I've lost track of all the awesome stuff Aaron has done with this report. Plain and simple, Aaron is always thinking of ways to make things better, and this is just another example of how he supports our sport. So, I hope each and every one of you reading this who competes in Grip or uses these listings as a reference point can take a couple minutes and give Aaron a virtual high five! Thanks again Aaron, for all you've done in organizing this data. It's incredible!
