astrojetred Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) How hard does anyone think this will be to bend? I have a AW match this friday, so I'll try to bend it next week. I haven't held it yet, because it's my friends, but it looks pretty brutal. Edited October 22, 2009 by Puller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturalstrength Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 What's the dimensions?? Also, are you talking braced or unbraced. Assuming its 3/8" thick, I would say easy to very easy for a braced bend, more difficult for unbraced, unless you are David Wigren and have the strength/shoulder flexibility to pull it off that he does. He has a video of a 3/8 x10 inch unbraced spike bend video!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bending the steel over the thigh, knee, etc constitutes a "braced" bend and thus is well within the rules of the bend. What's the dimensions of the eyebolt???

I'll get back to you on it. I guess it was left behind from the previous owners. It was used for "slack lining." O_o That's my friends hand, btw, haha.
