I think we have 2 or 3 going.
Are there going to be any challenge matches between pa and Ohio?

[Chris Thomas]

I'll be there, with a couple of my closest friends. We are looking forward to it ;D

[Jim Wagner]

hmm....challange matches....lets see if I can put something together...Willie, you know who I mean! I will see if Rick is up for it.

[Jim Wagner]

OK, $200 to Bryon and Rick, EACH. Win or not. I will call Rick, Willie, can you check with Bryon? We will need to get them to commit, then set a weight and all.

hey guys, new to the arm wrestling sport never been to a tournament before im going to try my first one at the pa. winter blast this month march 31. If i don't get my arm ripped off then i have my eye on this tournament should be a ton of fun.

[Jim Wagner]

Brian,
We practice up in Erie,PA You are always welcome. I might add 2 novice divisions to this one, depending on need.

[Brian Malek]

up in erie man if i was closer i would be up all the time i think its about 3hrs. away still might be able to figure something out. im so pumped about this i can't wait to see how i do i never pulled against guys my own size just bigger guys for fun. i was checkin out that ROTN series that looks awesome but don't know much about it

[Anthony Snook]

Where are you from Brian?

[Joe Canazzi]

I just want to throw this idea out there Jim. But, instead of a novice class it would kick ass to have a teen class. I know this is a smaller tournament but, if willie's going im sure Harley Roberts will be there. And im dying for a rematch with him. And theres quite a few other pullers in there area that would make the teen class extremely intersting. Ex. Ted Ingledue, Greg Arnold, Kyle Martin and theres a lot more then that. Just an idea though. I've really wanted to have all the thop teens in the area pull each other. I've pulled most all of them but, never with all of us in the same tournament. If not i totally understand.

[Brian Malek]

hey Anthony, i live near williamsport

[Jim Wagner]

Brian- we will be training next Sunday, March 24th. My cell is 814 460 0476, you are welcome anytime. I know its kind of far, but we have anywhere from 5-10 guys who come, always fun. I am in your area for work often, every week or two. Do you have a table? I could always swing by and work with you some.
JOE- teen class, yea, if enough guys show up, sure. I am planning a bigger tourny this summer at the new casino here, and will include a teen class right from the start, to get the word out. Thats a great idea, get more young guys involved. Email or call anytime guys

[Mike Osif]

Brian Who do you train with? Williamsport is about 1.5 hours away from me. A couple of us get together and practice in pittston.

[Mike Berardine]

hey brian what class do you pull?

[Brian Malek]

well i don't have anyone to train with yet my weight is around 165 so im not sure if i should stay at that weight or cut like i said this is my first time at this never pulled in a competition. i wanted to kinda jump into it and see where i stood saying if i do well then i well start training hard and maybe get my own table. but on some other bad news i hurt my right hand pulling hand mainly just my thumb its swelled up pretty good so as for me making it to the winter blast at the end of this month i just don't see it happening so i hope it will be good enough for next month but now i can't train.

[Mike Berardine]

hey if you are pulling novice it is 0-176 you are right there do not cut weight.
