THANKS for the kind words all!! I am very envious that woody is able to do this on a thursday and, get that kind of turnout. It really is impressive and think it is something we should all try and do. Armwrestling does not always have to fit in the box called "saturday and sunday" it really can open some doors for local pullers and locations who need to put some butts in a seat and can be great fun. Hey, huge bonus if you can get people to travel out to the event.
It was fun and allowed me to do some crazy stuff like to goto texas, arkansas, missouri, and washington all within 7 days. mucho content for the site.
the supermatches were very intense and I am still sold on this as a tool to promote the sport. I love supermatches BIG TIME.
good job all. (Nancy is a beast. drove 8 hours to an event and what does she do...volunteer to be raffle girl on night. this girl has a passion like no other.
See you all soon guys. logsdon and miller supermatch is posted.
working on more, just finished filming Irish games which had some seriously intense kids matches. wow. set up an appointment to shoot over and film the Mackin Group in Kelso Wa. These freaks are for real. Dang!!
until next time

Mike M. hope you can come to the Pull for Hungry its great event, and its helps out some less fortunate people, always 3 some years 4 tables of action--Just go www.armwrestle.com and look at some of the entries from the past years 200+.. I missed it last year due to injury. The 176 class could be another prefect storm like the Toproll event.

Josh you looked good right handed just keep training and hitting tourneys, you are youth and you only get better. Justin Mynatt is guy that is 180 degrees better than he was at Woody's first Toproll back in April of 08'. He had some good matches against some of the best 198'ers in the country. If he can make 187 for Unifieds, I think he will make some waves in that class right/left. Justin, I know that you are stuck in Joplin, MO with not all guys to train with and thankfully Woody has gave you some help--You are welcome to head west to Wichita with my group anytime!!

Thanks Shane, I'll keep it up for sure, I can only get better! I just need to get stronger wrists and work on my hit! The fact that Scott went undefeated in the left 154 lbs. class made me feel not so bad about losing to him!

Shane it was great to pull you last Thursday. Tremendous power in the straps. It's great to see talent like you with such a quiet, humble nature.

Shane, thanks for saying that. I will come up and train with you guys when I get ahead a little bit. It was nice seeing Payne there to , he is a cool guy. I think Bear and Payne would be a good match at the River Fest in Wichita.

Him and bear would be a good match at Riverfest, I'm still trying to get more sponsors for the event.. Good luck at Tahoe Jess, I might be there...
