showlarson Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I will be very surprised if I am able to not set anymore of the MM grippers. Will give it a shot if the close is good and have some tape to burn...my bro is going to smash a COC on the vid so he can get the MM certs going as well.

We try to make the jumps not huge in between the MMG's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showlarson Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Todd has the gripper. Since there is no one waiting in line we are going to wait until Sunday Dec 26th to do the cert. Merry Christmas everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showlarson Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Well, bad news first-the video was horribly scewed up caught the beginning and end and cut out everything important in the middle. I did close it as Todd will verify but obviously will need to reapply to get the cert. Also, Todd smoked the 3 handidly but again, it wasn't caught on tape. Murphy's Law was in effect today.

ishred Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 couldn't you just do it again when you saw that the video was screwed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 couldn't you just do it again when you saw that the video was screwed up? ← Nope. The camera has to be rolling continuously for the 3 attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately there has been a rash of poor video...it is such an important part of the proving of the feat....maybe the witnesses need to practice a while to insure success. Next time Shane...for sure!!!

Clay Edgin Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Tough luck Shane, but you will get it on camera next time too. Getting the proper video can be so tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Never mind, Shane. Excellent job on closing the gripper. Video isn't always easy to get. I know it since I'm taking the cert vids of the germans and one of them was messed up also. How tough was that gripper for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showlarson Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 The gripper is on its way back to Wanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showlarson Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 My fiance was the filmgirl and nearly cried when she checked out the tape and noticed that it didn't work. I couldn't even be mad. Franky-the gripper was medium tough. I got clean closes on all three attempts, it seemed right on with my beefbuilder elite. The sweep on this one is tough from the start whereas with the MM1 it seemed like the sweep was easier and allowed some momentum to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
