bencrush Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Thanks again for hosting the Grip Fest Travis. Lots of fun was had by all. And we even managed to turn Rick into a bending addict. Anyone and everyone is invited to the Grip Fest II that will be held at my home in Lawrence, Kansas. The date will be announced at a later date. I'd really like to max out the dyno and close that dang crazy Odyssey gripper! That thing has got me hot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan McMillan Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Excellent reporting Travis!!! Nice to see the letters P and R splattered all through it I think Ben had mentioned in the past that he uses very little setting with the grippers -outstanding Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngun Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Great contest fellas! I'll be around the Lawrence area this summer and I'm moving up there in the fall for school. We'll have to get together for a workout sometime. Good luck with training! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisof4 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Excellent, Youngun. I think we are shooting for late summer (September?) for the KC Gripfest II. Hopefully you can come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Sounds great Youngun...but seeing your credentials, looks like you're going to smoke us all in the crush department. But it always helps to train with someone better! I look forward to meeting you and working out with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
