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

It's a Beastmaker, ipso facto it's magic. It's actually levitating!

Yup, it's hung on an £8 argos pull up bar.

Dan and Ned haven't yet finished the machine to build the anti-grav suspensor unit.

I had a wee feel at one in The Works the other week and was very impressed.  They look and feel great.  :thumbsup:

Sadly, I didn't actually do any fancy training on it due to being inappropriately dressed at the time.  Next time I get my hands on one I will obviously do some serious crushing.   8)

You mean you didn't have your leggings with you?  I thought they were essential and you'd only left your wellies behind?

It was at night, we'd just popped in for a look, leggings are more day wear.  And I was wearing boots, just not welly boots.  ;)

So you don't just plug it into a lightning conductor, insert your fingers into the monos, wait for a lightning strike and hey presto beast!?

Err...

Having used the one at The Works to warm up on a few times I must say that I agree with what everyone else is saying. The major plus with these boards is that they are so untweaky. Every hold feels as if you can pull as hard as you like on it without risking something snapping (unless your name is Paul B). The Beastmaker is a lovely piece of design and workmanship.

I wish I had the one with 'jugs', at least then I could use it whilst injured instead of it taunting me every time I walk past for a piss. Dan heard of my injury and immediately suggested I train Front 2, physio reckoned this wasn't a good idea.

Major bragging about to happen........

I just got my Beastmaker for £48!!

I had one kept back at Climb Newcastle and they were selling them for £60 (which is great as it is). This week though, they had 20% of training stuff and other accessories!

I even said they didnt have to give me 20% off, but they did!  ;D

Lee, I'm sick of wadding you you funny bastard. Please will you and Crouch combine your acerbic wittiness ' and make something useful out of it like a comedy?

Marty, when did you order your beastmaker?

I ordered mine towards the end of March and was wondering how close they are to shipping mine.

Cheers

Originally contacted Dan mid-Feb, so you shouldn't be too far behind. Have you emailed Dan recently? He's pretty good at getting back.
