Title: [Dumby] [Pressure/Firestarter link] [8b]
Post by: willackers on April 20, 2010, 08:24:51 pm: The Grand Tour wasn't enough so he went and polished off one of his other projects.

The start of Pressure into Firestarter, he's been trying this for some time and reckons hard 8b.

I got a video of this so as soon as he's decided on a name I'll get it posted.

What an afternoon! :great:

He's called the new problem Firefight, another Dumby 8b!

He really gives it everything....a fine performance....

Ruins it at the end with all that 'arm-raising' palaver though.

As for the 'arm waving' palaver - I'm sure we all do something. I usually grab my knob with one hand and wave my other in the air.

Post by: Jaspersharpe on April 21, 2010, 09:53:51 am: About time he pulled his finger out and climbed something difficult for him instead of punting about on these 8Bs.

Great stuff.
