Chez Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Boom baby! Dedicating this bend to my soon to be born son, Dominic. 4 more weeks till this Red Nail Bender is a daddy! Told my wife once we found out she was pregnant that I wanted to get this cert for him and before he was born. Just got back from my cruise where I had no access to the internet and made sure to check if you certed while I was away. Really happy for you dude. Huge congrats. Wish I could have been there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jchap that's awesome that your joining the race!! There's no better place to be. Everyone here will guide you to your goals! Chez, thanks buddy. I honestly can't wait till you certify next! If they have a hard time finding a judge in your area it would be cool if they hooked you up with Dir Leistner near me if you didn't mind the drive one weekend. I would love to see you cert bro. Really can't wait to get home and watch both these vids. The internet where I'm at is a bit slow. Pumped to see these vids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks guys. I sent the certification information in early today and ironmind confirmed they received it. They are looking for a judge for me now. Really excited to finally cross this goal off my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Burns Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I am extremely excited to get started on this road also. bought some 1/4 in crs stock and cut it down to 6 and 7 inch pieces and hammered both down. Bending in any fashion has to be the best feel good part of grip in terms of getting past a hump. its a awesome feeling squeezing everything you got into a nail or horseshoe not knowing if it will go in a second. not knowing if you just keep putting pressure for that extra second that the steel will start to melt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sharkey Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Jchap that's awesome that your joining the race!! There's no better place to be. There was steelbenders, but it seems to have dropped off the face of the earth Thanks guys. I sent the certification information in early today and ironmind confirmed they received it. They are looking for a judge for me now. Really excited to finally cross this goal off my list. This piece of steel is a toy to you. You're finishing them in 4 hits.

Broly Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well done Brian! I remember when we were both stuck on the Yellow! Really cool stuff man. Thanks! Yup I remember those days. We couldn't figure out how to bend a yellow to save our lives. We hit almost each milestone around the same time, yellow, blue, grade 5, etc. Happy to see new people taking up the race. It's pretty incredible how many Red Nail Roster guys this thread has made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 I have already certified on the FBBC bastard bar in single IMPs but that was a 2011 batch bar from Daniel Reinard. This is suppose to be a newer batch FBBC Bastard bar from Mike Sharkey. The new Batch bars are suppose to be much harder. I bent it in Bender's battlefield wraps to protect my hands since I don't want to get hurt so close to the red cert. I really feel that I would have gotten this in IMP singles also since I really didn't have a problem with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXwVUyzaUSw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red cert will be a joke for you. Great job your technique looks solid now also. Huge bars to come from you in the future if you stick with it especially as your technique continues to get better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Still waiting for the red cert. I took down a FBBC Big Bastard tonigh in BBWs. Its the new stock that Mike Sharkey sent me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgV52Zsm66k I was a little off tonight. I broke some skin on my index finger last session and it isn't 100% healed. I still wanted to take this bar down. skin broke again a little so I'll take a couple days off and let it heal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
