Bill Piche Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Mike, don't use the shortened URL to embed. You did it correct actually -- you just are using the shortened URL rather than the full one. I fixed it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macaz Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Cool. I haven’t tried horseshoes but I want to some time soon. I was going to order two of each of the diamonds from FBBC. Is the Polo the hardest of the ultra lights? I take it the light #3 is harder than all the ultralites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Polo the hardest of the ultra lights? I take it the light #3 is harder than all the ultralites? Anybody know if they allow horseshoes on an airplane? I was thinking of trying to cert the DC1 again maybe after the comp, take in some of that contest adrenaline. If they allow shoes I could bring a couple for you. As far as those rankings, it goes ultralight (UL) #2, UL #1, Polo #1, DC1, light #3...there are many more. Wigren, Rinderle and those guys know a heck of a lot more than I do.

daniel reinard Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'll actually fly into Phoenix Thursday. Not sure what you and Russ are up to if you guys are down for dinner Friday. Maybe a little pre-comp smack talk or just a beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Polo the hardest of the ultra lights? I take it the light #3 is harder than all the ultralites? Yea, the Ultra Lites are the easiest of the St. Croix shoes, then the Polos, then the Lite Rims, then the Lite Plains like this one, and then the Plain Regulars at the top of the St. Croix food chain. The DC0 and DC1 that come in the FBBC Bender Bags would be in between the Polos and the Lite Rims. They are usually considered easy intermediate shoes or really hard beginner shoes. You can actually buy the Diamonds at Tractor Supply Co and skip the shipping if you have one near you.

They had aluminum ones Titanium and all sorts of expensive horseshoes that were interesting. As far as the bending ones they had only lite rimed and lite planes and plain regs. No ultralites or polos. There were a lot of sizes too to choose from. All new to me. I even picked up a pair of little pony horseshoes. I ll start on them next week after WSH.

Mike Rinderle Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Good deal Rich! The light rims are a step up from the Diamond Classics, but not a ton harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 aluminium shoes can snap? right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 aluminium shoes can snap? right? They shouldn't, but if they are too easy and you really move aluminum fast enough it can. I have snapped 3/8 and 1/2" aluminum bending DO. Not pretty. I would guess the aluminum shoes are a different grade and made to withstand greater torque before snapping, but I wouldn't risk it. The Ultralites should be easy enough (and less expensive) that you shouldn't need to bend Al shoes. Plus, anything I am driving my torso into, that is planted right above my femoral artery, and near enough to other important parts, I don't want to risk it.

David_wigren Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think I remember Zach having an aluminum shoe break on him. I would stay away from them completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
