I have had my Beastfaker for about 6 months or so. I also have a moon finger board and have used a variety of metolius boards.
In comparison to the other boards the beastbaker is miles ahead of the competition.

The selection of holds on the beasthater are all useful and progressive, the slopers are a good example, I am at a stage where I can hang the 35's comfortably for repeaters and this has allowed me to break into holding the 45's. The way the slopers are made allows you to assist by pinching and/or nestling your index fingers. This allows me to get started on the path to properly holding the 45's. Big juggy monos are also brilliant for helping me build up to the shallow monos, the shallow monos are great to use as assistance for one armers!

The crimps are small enough without having the disadvantage of being painful, the moonboard crimps are painful and also conditions dependent, being wood I find no matter how warm or cold the house is I notice no difference (on any of the holds including the slopers). I have made a mess of my hands on the grit over the weekend but know I can get on the beasttamer and not make my fingers worse.

I am moving home soon (I hope) into my first house and I won't feel like I am hanging up an eyesore which is a definite bonus. I have long thought those metolius wooden ones looked great but the holds are wank, you could make a better finger board out of razor blades and egg cartons.

Beastraper fingerboards are the way forward people, get involved.

How much do they cost?

<--- Clickety-click

Although thats not overly helpful, but there are contact details on the site so you can ask them, and even order one  

EDIT : Price appears to be on the individual page £66 for the 2000 model.

Gutted. As i'm not a Sheffield resident, i'll have to wait until after Dan gets back from font. I don't suppose there's someone on here i can bribe to pick me one up?!

[marty]

shit martin does this mean you are going to train??????

I have been beasting since the New Year. Board, Ratho and even some bloody aerobic boll0cks. This week not great 'cos in London, and werks a bit of a mare...... Pick it back up at the weekend.

BTW, the rings in the garage are nails.

[marty]

Anyone any ideas how I get one of these bad boys? beastmaster.co.uk is a bit light on detail.

[reeve]

I believe (although could well be wrong), that the beastmaker's are out in Font, which is also alluded to on their blog. Think the mass distribution should commence in a couple of wks.

Anybody ever mounted one of these on an angled board? I have a 15 degree campus board and never use rung number 2 much and was thinking of replacing it with a beastmaker...

[Krank]

The Works Beastmaker is mounted on the campus board, it makes the 45 slopers pretty interesting.

[dave]

i recon you're betting off using these things as designed - if you're set on mounting it on a CB then i'd use wooded wedges to mount it vertical, which is what i hear they're gonna do with the works one.

[neil h]

ned and dan just delivered mine, we mounted it on a vertical wall, ned recons is too easy and should be at an angle, but would make the 45 slopers a bit hard to hang

Looky here :



Beastmaker now officially the product of choice of Jerry Moffatt!

[webbo]

can anyone explain what encores are on training stuff.are we talkng french pull ups or lock offs at diffrent angles.

[Stubbs]

A set of repeaters, i.e. 7 7 second hangs with three seconds rest in between each hang, but each of the hangs is completed at a different lock angle so from the Beastmaker site, the set would be:
Pull on
Grab 1: Full Lock
3 seconds rest
Grab 2: arms nearly straight
3 seconds rest
Grab 3: arms ¾ lock
3 seconds rest
Grab 4: arms ¼ lock
3 seconds rest
Grab 5: arms half lock
3 seconds rest
Grab 6: arms full lock
3 seconds rest
Grab 7: arms nearly straight
collapse on floor holding fingers.

hope this makes sense.

All the info is here, great article.

cheers for that stubbs.yes i'd seen that chillax but couldn't work out if you did all the diffrent locks in one rep i.e. a french pull up.so i'm delighted to find out you get 3 secs between reps,nearly enough time to scratch your balls wonderful.

[Stubbs]

But each rep is only seven seconds - how much rest do you need?   

Although I admit the last seven seconds of a set can seem like several minutes!

Just tried one a Climb Newcastle. It was excellent, I really want to order one now.

The bottom row monos are amazing!!!

[cruisie]

just wondering if anyone can tell me when you can order one of these online

[meatball]

Hi,

Does anyone have any info regarding the waiting list at present? Tried the email address on the website but had no joy.

Cheers

[Fultonius]

I got an email back from Dan after a week or so. Waiting list is pretty big and he'll get back to us when they're ready.

Be patient my son.

In the meantime, here's a photo of mine to keep you going!

How's that board suspended?  Is it being hung from a pull-up bar?
