BJones Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Well - the pressure finally got to me and it pushed me right over the edge! I started getting psyched hours before I would have a chance to bend and knew today was the day. When I got home I hit the bending: 60d x 3, G5 x 1, RED 7" x 2 (fresh), 1 slightly kinked The first RED went down really well - under a minute I think but was too excited to tell - it was pretty quick though - rested a couple of minutes and put another one away (this was a two step - initial kink-rest-finish), rested 15minutes or so and put away a slightly kinked RED! Thanks to Big Steve, SHRUG, Pat, Eric, Dave O, Jeff P, Clay, strongmitts and everyone else for the encouragement and pressure! I am Fraggin' pumped!!

SHRUG Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Congrats Brett, great work! We really need to train together now for sure. We will have some insane bending workouts. Just think 3 RED benders in the same room pushing eachother to new heights. Come on man, it will be total insanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Edgin Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 In your training log I said that it would be a couple weeks before you bent one, but it looks like I was wrong! Excellent work man! That's a heck of a feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumnorix Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 REDs may find themselves on the endangered species list soon. It sounds like IM will need a BROWN and a BLACK nail soon (like martial arts belts). Congrats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGuy Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Ironmind does indeed need a nail beyond the red! More red benders than #4 closers. Maybe a nail that is 11/32'' thick by 7''? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJones Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 Thanks Guys! Achieving the RED is something I am very pleased with and I will be heading for my new goal of a 6" RED.
