You guys are always on my "if I can get there" list.  I will figure it out in January like I did last year.  I'm guessing this year I will wait for one of your summer comps though.  Maybe stay a little longer, too.

Looking forward to this event.  I cannot wait to see this wrist roller!

Hmmm 14.5 hour drive. Do You have to be American?

Can you get company for the road trip?

I did a 14.5 hour drive from NY to Maine for a comp, with two buddies (was 14.5 hours because I had to pick them up slightly off-route in NYC and NJ, and then we had bad weather and traffic -- would have been only 10 or so if I had just gone from my Long Island home to there -- but the time was the time).

Was TONS of fun road tripping around the grip comp.

I recommend it.

Yeah maybe there’s a few people in Calgary who might be into it I’ll wait till after Christmas then try to decide.

We're just under a month out. Can't wait to see everyone there. That wrist roller sled is going to be a good time.

I definitely can't make it to this one, way way too busy at work, and girlfriend wants me to go to the DR with her March 14-17, so if I can do anything it will have to be that and I might not even do that.

Oh well.  Looking forward to seeing the results!  Have fun!

Amazing event hosted at ATR Training in Cheyenne, WY.  The field included 18 lifters from world record holders to first timers.
