BJones Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I know I am on the KTA program but I couldn't help trying the "terminator" style of bending after watching Eric's video of his Red nail bend. Grabbed a white nail - felt pretty good, grabbed a green nail - felt pretty good Grabbed a 40d - felt pretty good, Grabbed a blue nail - uneven bend but felt pretty good - put it to the test and grabbed a 60d - I wiggled and squired a bit trying to find the right spot and started to feel the pressure in my left thumb webbing space but the nail kinked and I was able to finish it by going double underhand - then chest crush. Then grabbed a 60d I had kinked a very little bit the other day - and wrapped it up and was able to kink it pretty well - then turn it over to double under hand and then finish it. Damn - and the most interesting thing was - almost zero wrist stress! The stress/pressure of putting the nail over my left thumb webbing area was different and I need some padding there but the kink felt good. Something to play with I think - Thanks Eric and the Diesel crew. Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 (edited) This raises an interesting question. Is there anyone else who acquires the initial kink with a reverse grip, and then switches to double underhand? It will be interesting to see how you progress with this, Brett.

John Beatty Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I start over/under then go to double overhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOBrien Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I'm relatively new to bending, but I generally go over-under and then switch to double overhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaibox Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I can't do poop with a double underhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggymountainmuscle Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I go over under, then terminator, and I might go double under hand to get into double overhand and then crush it. On a smooth bend I don't use double under hand though. My double underhand isn't too bad, I want it to get better though. I don't think my over under is the same as most people's though, I've been told it's quite rare. Shrug goes double underhand, I saw that video of him smoking those reds, really cool and very aggresive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkbone Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I've been toying with different styles lately, but I prefer double-underhand at the chin, then switch to double-overhand to finish it off. I have found that this combination puts much stress on my left thumb webbing when I switch to double-overhand if there is not a significant kink in the material from the double-underhand. I'm still trying to find what works best for me. I guess maybe it's the lack of experience with over-under, but I have not had very good results with it.
