We went from thinking ours had been tampered with a la Andy Jennings to wondering if the panel was warped it was mounted on to stop making excuses and crushing.

Having hung off several beastmakers now, comparison between different beastmakers seems a bit pointless as they seem to vary so much. Not sure if this is down to amount of use/grain in wood/amount of brushing or what, but I've found a variation from barely being able to hang 35s to being able to hang the 45s for 15 seconds quite easily,

I've tried 3 and the one I have at home is harder to hang than the two at the mill might have something to do with the damp at the mill but the grain on the easiest one is more pronounced for sure.

While it is sure to be true that different ones feel diffrent, (especially with the slopers) don't you think this could come under the heading of taking it too far?  Part of what I like about the beastmaker board is the attempt to throw grades around for hangs, it shows a healthy keenness to hang for hangings sake, while also taking the piss a bit and measuring progress at the same time.  I thought so anyway.

Perhaps there could be a league with away fixtures so you can take an average off ten diffrent boards in a variety of weather conditions...

[Stubbs]

Yeah don't get me wrong, it wasn't owt but an observation, and really only affects the slopers. The beastmaker has certainly made hanging more enjoyable and it's made me stick with a hanging programme way longer than I did on the moon one. I think this more than anything shows the quality of the product.

[Monolith]

In agreement Nodder. Never been psyched for a fingerboard to the extent of this one. Feels like a pair of satin breasts in hand. Which is why I probably spend so much time fondling them.

Was your thirty seconds without a nestle nodder?

[nodder]

It was indeed, and for once i have video evidence Although it could hardly be called interesting.  It was on the right hand mill board will try the left next time, and then will go to mr super furry monkey's house.

[Monolith]

Glad you've set the benchmark!

Is your house something of a soft touch then is it? Expect the hoardes to come flocking!

Mine is a hardcore homo erotic training palace (hopefully this will put Nodders off coming round and showing me up  ) actually made some progress on the 45's in the last hour by hanging on 35's with 20kg hanging between my legs!

Is that why you had Crouch over for a few days then is it!? Thought it was weird he was unable to speak any longer when he got back from that weekend.

  Yea we watched 300 that got us psyched then we trained till we dropped, it got pretty sweaty I can tell you!

Where's everyone at with the two finger slopers ?

Been trying to double off them to the 35's in vain, battling with violent grease off this week due to the weather or something 

[Nibile]

seems like this time i'll have to come north for a fingerboarding holiday.
who needs rock when you have a beastmaker.

[Falling Down]

  It's been that hot this week here...



Beastmaker + Rock Rings + Wolfgang + Jerry = Psyche + Power

Crouch, your stronger than both Tom an I, and apparently we can both double onto the 35's without much trouble 

[DubDom]

If someone dares, you could try hanging using that weird combination of chalk and syrup that parallel bars gymnasts use to help them grip on the wood of the P bars, don't think your board would ever be the same, but you'd stick the slopers for sure, independent of conditions I reckon!!!!

[GCW]

You mean Pof?

[Monolith]

The 45 pockets I've become fine with but only when taken with 3 fingers. Presuming a few sessions eliminating a digit on each hand should remedy this. Mind you, this recent grim humid spate is pretty inhibitive eh.         

[mctrials23]

I got the impression that 3 fingers in the 2 finger 45's wasnt quite cricket because you end up wedging your fingers in there to keep you in rather than your strength. I can hang those with 3 fingers, cant hang the 45 sloper though.

[Monolith]

Exacto, hence using three fingers on one hand, two on the other until you can just use two fingers on each hand. Hard to say with current weather conditions how you could fare given less saturated atmospheric conditions. Sure many people are under performing as a result.

[richdraws]

I put the angle of my beastmaker right yesterday as I was managing to hang the 45's at my slabby angle for 20 seconds or so. I can still hang it for about 7-8 seconds and can probably manage more when I get used to it. But I swear this muggy weather is making it easier, I reckon that come winter I will be be slipping off the 45's like I was last winter. I find the slopey pockets alarmingly difficult to hold.
