pburke23 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Was just able to get a good kink in a grade 5 last week, here's my bend for this week... http://youtu.be/gHF4qkx8Kmg Bit of a battle, but got it down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGrip Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Great job on a milestone bend, now on to the Grade 8 bolt and you'll be getting close to a Red Nail... The closer the wraps the harder the bend, so you may be closer to a Grade 8 than you may think if you put a little space between the wraps - it adds a tad of leverage to the mechanics of the bend-it may be just enough to slay it!

I may go check my stash and see if I have any G8s, are there specific markings on g8s like on g5s to determine them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bend by the way. What was your best bend before you took time off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my best bend before I took time off, not really sure what the reason is that I was able to do it much quicker this time. I'd like to actually progress to an ironmind red this time however, and possibly beyond. If I remember correctly, people use FB stock after red?
