Adam Moyers Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Tuesday I got one to 2 1/16" after I completed my first bastard. Tonight the Shiny died! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpster Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Outstanding progress - congrats! You had some time to spare so you haven't reached your limit yet. Was the kink easier than the regular bastard? You blew through the kink like butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Moyers Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thanks Perry! I would say the Shiny is all around harder. I still had doubt in my mind before the Bastard, but I knew I would beat the Shiny this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpmmkrahling Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 That was one hell of a first hit And i like the way you stayed with that until the end. Great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Moyers Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Nice the MIND has alot to do with it? Congrats a shinys a great bend. Yes Gazza, what you say about the mind is very true. I hope you keep going, watching you bend is a privilege. Impressive raw power Adam! getting stronger day by day! ... now kill the big shiny !!! (try some edgins if u can ) Thanks Hugo. I will try a edgin sometime soon, but I want to get the golden bastard, hexabastard, big bastard, and big golden first. I tried a golden about 5 minutes after the shiny but I didn't finish it. I think it won't be a problem when I'm fresh. That was one hell of a first hit And i like the way you stayed with that until the end. Great job Thanks Mike. I try to get all I can out of the first hit. The super kink is getting stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam.mccaffrey Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Great bends, I hope to get the shiny soon too! Its intersting, before i quit last time i was able to smash bastards easily, under 40 secs on one occasion but i still couldn't get anywhere near a shiny, my best was down to 2.5" over 3 sessions. I believe you have a base level of strength far greater than your current best bends. Keep pushing dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Adam: the last golden i tried was easier than the bastard ...maybe the NEW golden its harder!? Edgins are great because the kink and sweep are beyong the shiny bastard (much harder). Good luck with the hex , if its from the brutal batch it takes a lot of technique to take down:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope what you say is true, I would really like to get the huge bastard at the Motown Gripdown.

Good luck with the hex , if its from the brutal batch it takes a lot of technique to take down:-) This golden was definitely harder than the bastard. I only waited about 5 minutes after I finished the shiny to try it, so that could have been the reason it was so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
