timiacobucci Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Crazy stuff man, Have you guys actually seen this stuff? It is naaaasty. Even compared to 3/8" bolts and crs. I honestly believe from braced stuff that 1/2" hrs may be easier than this crazy sh*t at the same length. Just get some 3/8" 303 and try it at any length, any style, and tell me it isn't fighting you like some kind of beast. Doing it these sizes is just inhuman, 5.5"?!, dude I know you gotta be good for a go at 7/16" crs with some leather now. I meanyou gotta dominate something to get it a 5.5" in IM wraps so your max now is well above this. Gazza are you talking to us at the end of the 3rd video? The music is playing over it so I have no idea what you are saying, I'm a terrible lip reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Is that the same stainless that Eric cal'd at around 820 for a 7 inch piece a while back? Am I getting this right, is this a 5.5 inch piece of 3/8 inch stainless in Ironmind pads? That's an unbelieveable super-insane should be locked in a straitjacket for your own safety bend! Of course you'd probably just break out! Crazy stuff! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Thankyou for the comments and support guys but some of you are getting ahead of yourselves who says ive bent the 5 1/2inch piece I can assure you all its grade 303 i have all the receipts and invoices of all my stainless stock. I pretty much dont calibrate the big stuff anymore because ive found my suppliers stock to be quite consistent i just cut a piece and hit on it if it dont move i just keep hitting it till i get it then i do another piece then i try and get a piece on video for my records and posterity etc obviously this is much harder to do with a piece thats sent to me i pretty much have to fire up the vid and go for it unless i have a few pieces that i can hit before so i can gauge the toughness for me. I would say its atleast as hard as fbbc stuff most of the stock i get is harder this feels abit tougher but if its only about 10-15lbs above its hard to gauge the 8mms stuff is alot harder than the fbbc 5/16inch shinys. Another personal reason i am duplicating all my bends in ironmind wraps useing my stock as well because i know then that ive beaten all my fbbc bends which dont mean anything to me anymore so ive arased there arse with better bends which gives me a whole lot of satisfaction. These bent pieces will in the next few days be making there way to a good friend of mine to help him out along with the unbent equivalent lengths so people will be free to compare also if anyone wants to calibrate some give me a shout i have a good bit of it left. Its took me 6yrs to get to this level bending in multiple styles useing med/big wraps,medium wraps,small wraps,ironmind wraps and crush pads and useing mostly stainless stock and big bolts and also doing alot of barehanded bending,also dedicateing myself mostly to just bending yet despite all this i never once over the last 2 years thought i would not be able to duplicate a bend in ironmind wraps that i could in leather the 4 yrs previous to that were the journey into acquiring the mindset needed to accomplish this and conditioning of the hands.

gazza Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Gazza,those I/M pads were not meant for that kind of punishment Great work man,killer bending and the blob lifts were ok too .Are you coming up with a dance routine,Say maybe, the stainless shuffle?? Again,those are killer bends bro.great work. Charlie Glad you liked the Gazza shuffle I though if i can lift the blob between bends whilst my thumbs and fingers were screaming its only gonna make them stronger.

gazza Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Man you're insane (in a good way) Grand king of all shiny bastards!!!! And in IM pads? Are you willing to go after the fantastice also ? Alawadhi Ive pretty much accomplished what i wanted to in bending i have one more bend then its time to go after something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 PART 4, PART 4, PART 4!!!!!!By the way. Gazza just out of curiousity, is this 304 or 303 stainless? Either way it's obviously F***ING INSANE!!! Derek Its grade 303 but at the end of the day its just another piece of tough steel and thats it just something to pit my spirit and strength against theres alot more tougher stuff out there and then some.

Tim71 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Somebody should send you one of these super-huge grippers that everyone says will never even be chest crushed! Like the Galaxy or something like that. There are grippers that many huge benders can't even hardly move the handles on. To even get a piece of steel or that magnitude kinked is amazing. You should try the MOAB. Later, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdfk20 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Fantastic bends gazza, as always. You are immortalising yourself as the best ever unbraced stainless bender. For me i would shorten that title to the best ever bender full stop. Gazza if you have no limits, how come you only have one more goal, in bending? Any hints to what this last goal is?

Pete Ive lost alot of bending passion it used to be an obsession and to really get the best outa myself i would have to go through that phase again which did take alot outa me but theres alot of things that have helped me make the decision. The goal is Stainless MOAB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Under 5 minutes I assume? Last time in 20 minutes you did it to about 65 degrees (the one Aaron sent you...it was on youtube)? But if you did that one, I assume you can take a 1/2 CRS at 7". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booyah!!! Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Awesome Medley Gazza I sure would like to be able to bend one of those bars one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpster Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Absolutely crazy stuff there Gazza! You say you've lost a lot of the passion and you're not at the top of your game anymore. I just don't see it when you keep coming up with these bends that nobody else is even close to. You're one of a kind Gazza. 10 years from now I don't think anyone will be duplicating your bends. It's like someone doing a TNS of CoC #4s with both hands at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Amazing Gazza, simply amazing. It's going to be sad to see you leave the obsession brother, but it's pretty much definite that I don't think anyone will ever pass your bends, but I know I will sure as hell try Are you still going to be training grip? Or are you completely giving it up? I can't wait to see the MOASB die, it will be a moment in grip history, the last bend of the greatest bender who ever lived.

crobb1320 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 A great set of vids Gaz,You totally destroyed those bars Great stuff and very inspiring,Really makes me want to attack some bends myself,thanks for sharing Gazza :bow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
