twig Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm thinking the 3rd Saturday in January. Does this suit? I'll lay on food, drink and toys, Y'all need to bring yourselves. Who's in? PM me here or on the BHSA Forum. If I can clear this with Steve and David, it'll be under the aegis of the BHSA, so if you haven't already subscribed, do so, or do so on the day.

PERTHPOWER Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Looking good Twig. All the best with comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Neil, Looks a well thought out contest, with some new ideas - bravo! Oh and it'll be fun too! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Only one hand (either hand, you can use which ever hand your best with for each event) will be tested, as this is my first comp, and I want to enjoy myself rather than worrying about the numbers.

David Horne Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Neil, Jason is a definite. He's going to sign up on here when he gets back to Manchester. Think he fancies a training session with you before the comp. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakehorne Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hey Mate, Will be there on the 26th for sure. Really like the sound of the events, last man standing is great! Uni lifestyle, Christmas and new years are all catching me up now though, and I feel weak as hell. Is there any chance I could pop round for a training session or two with you before the main event, since you only live down the road from me? All the best for putting together the comp, and hopefully see you soon, Jake Horne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Savage Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 with it being before the brits it's just bad timing for me personally, i need to focus on the events of the brits, mobster would own me easily right now - to compete in this contest i would have to come in without doing any training on any events >not for me i wish all that do compete a bunch of PR's!

So you're going to avoid competing with Mobster because he would "own" you? You'd better get used to it. There's no shame in losing now if it helps you win later, why don't you just go and get some more contest experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 It's true. My first contest I was 3rd... of three. My second I was 8th then it was changed to 7th. I then started getting 3rds and 4ths. One year I did 4 events (2004) and I had one 2nd and 3 bloody 4th place finishes. Then there's doing it for the crack and buzz. Or competition experience. Without giving too much away (not until after you've got your feet wet) you do NEED to compete. You'll realise a bunch of stuff that does not come from training. Finally if I am good enough now - based on my number I've done or am doing right now - I'll have added to those same numbers by May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Savage Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 you're right, i need some contest experience - im in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Good to see. It's a small contest, and an excellent place to start. Do your best and learn from the day. My son Jason will be there and I think he's had about 2 training sessions since he's come back from his Uni lifestyle. He's well trained up on that style of life Anyway, hope you all have fun.

Paul Savage Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 ill TRY get my brother to compete as well as if hes free, he might wanna come down support anyways - doubt he will as he probably will be busy, but he has tns'd one of my #3's to 1/4, high pulled 2 10kg easy (no chalk on either) etc he has trained grippers a little in the past but basically dont train, just naturally strong (unlike me, damnit!)
