[SA Chris]

"Give me, give me, give me, deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me"

Can anyone remember who sang that?

[Johnny Brown]

No.

back on topic - I did deliverance last night, using my foot beta......



.... in my new shoes. didn't even need breaking in. Five-ten have finally made a real fuckin shoe!! Remains to see how long they last tho...

[cowboyhat]

what the trainers?

[Johnny Brown]

yeah... now that's what I call stealth rubber.

[andy_e]

what grade's the traverse at?

[Johnny Brown]

7a+/ 7bish I suppose. Wait for a cold day though....

[Ru]

If you can get me up deliverance JB, I'll take over from el mocho as the shortest and shittest at slapping.

What are your new tennies? the retro shoes?

[r-man]

So who's the shortest person who's ever done it? How tall is Dawes - surely he's done it at some point?

[Stubbs]

the retro shoes?

gotta get me a pair of those - they look like skate shoes with stealth rubber. hmmm wonder if they are made from animals...

[Johnny Brown]

OK we gonna have a deliverance masterclass then??? I'll just lap it in my retro tennies and you guys can just try and soak up the magic.

[dave]

hope those retros sport the usual fiveten hallmark of manufacturing quality.

[Ru]

Don't get too excited, I've not actually tried it with any conviction, or indeed at all, for about 4 years. I've witnessed/heard about too many bad ankle sprains/breaks on it.

About time I did it though as it's a bit of a glaring CV omission.

[dave]

didn't ron break his back on deliverance or summert? wacksville.

[Johnny Brown]

Yeah isn't it time someone did something about the landing? I might be a bit far out here, but how's about a temporary ban and soil replacement/ reseeding??

[hongkongstuey]

of course - anything other than full on jumping with your feet down and left just isn't Deliverance really is it, just some wierd little variation to a classic problem   :wink:

[Johnny Brown]

I hope you've done both many times for coming to that conclusion? And I hope you didn't use the crack to start?

[clm]

oh shut up!!

[dave]

[clm]

dont use the crack, dont use the crack, dont use the crack!!

[andy_e]

the retro shoes?

gotta get me a pair of those - they look like skate shoes with stealth rubber. hmmm wonder if they are made from animals...

how much are they? me being a pauper now, i want some so i'll have to beg my parents!

[Johnny Brown]

55 squid in outside.

re-awakening an old thread...
I visited Plantation for the first time in c.15 yrs on Sunday, and enjoyed having a play on Deliverance. I didnt really get close - but was wondering what the tall persons beta is.
I'm 6'3 and from the sidepull can get my hand about 12-18" from the top static (ish) with the outside of my LF in the pocket/dimple and RF smearing about 2" below the sidepull. Most people seem to need a real boost from the RF smear - But I am wondering if (with my lank) I can just jump by pushing up from the LH foot and just balancing with the RF? I had another play today - but was only half arsed/committed on the jump as I only had one smallish pad and gave up after jarring my heel...
Is another tall persons way padding up/across the slab to the left? I managed to get balanced on that, but it didnt really feel much higher than the other way...??
 
Excellent fun though!

[Richie Crouch]

Get your right foot where your left currently is and then step out left to a decent smear for the left foot, drop your left arm low and sink down a bit and then fling your left arm upward whilst pushing hard through the feet. latch & mantle. Result.

I'm a mere 6' and that works for me.
