cberg Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) I think I might be down for a mag shiny race. Mike, don't rush it. Some times it just takes some time. Little over a year ago I was in a mag race and took almost 6 months to finish it Caolan, now I know you ain't thinking of joining a mag shiny race... you need to look up a IM blue nail race Thanks for the idea but I've already bent the blue nail. did it just now, took me about 4 minutes in triple wraps . Haha just sandbagging, When my mags get here this race is over! You should just forfeit already cause you have no chance. Step aside David, its time to let the big boys play Edited May 24, 2009 by cberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Just a quick update on my progress on the mag shiny so far. It's a hard peice for sure and will take a few months at least before I can get it in one go, if I ever manage to. Hopefully this will be a kick in the butt to start the up competition again and perhaps motivate a few to join the grand/mag shiny race http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=8907 Took me a good 30 minutes or so to get it this far. Took it to just short of 90 degrees pretty much in one go but then I had to earn every millimeter, just rewrapping it and hitting it, rewrapping and hitting until it didn't want to move anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Darin, how are you bendingwise now? You've mentioned some troubles.

Yep it was with imps. But I doubt I would have gotten it further than this with doubles. It would just have made the kink a heck of a lot easier, but I would be stopped at this point anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure you will beat down the mag just as you did the grand! Great progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks guys. I've actually got the initial attempt of the mag shiny on video. I've put it in my latest video on youtube. There's a bunch of other stuff before it gets to the attempt. Poorly documented but it was a failed attempt so it doesn't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't bent anything in a couple weeks, but think I'll get after it on Friday. I'm leaving town tomorrow for a few weeks so I won't be here when my new stuff arrives unfortunately. Should give me some good time to work on all the locally purchased 5/16 CRS I've rarely touched heh.
