If you have had a Video made of you Arm Wrestling ,what is your favorite Video of yourself and tell the story behind it. I think it would be interesting to here some stories and watch the video. I will put one on later because I have to work. This should be interesting !

I have made many many videos of my armwrestling practices and tournaments since I have started. All are under two different YOUTUBE accounts. ToonTownTube and MrSasktube.
I started taking armwrestling serious and going to practices at the end of 2006 and have been hooked since. One of my favorite videos is actually one of my first. The first tournament footage in the video is actually from before I even started training for the sport. I was always a natural toproller and could always do it before I even knew what it was called.
Heres a link to the video
since then I have taken 3rd at my first and so far only Nationals (2008) and am the current Right arm super Heavyweight Provincial champion in Saskatchewan (Canada). I'm not super great but hope to be one day.
Great idea for a thread by the way.

I love your Wrist Roller, hey that was a great Video. You got a good Top Roll on you !
Well I thought about what was my favorite Video and I came up with Me VS. Bill Logston . OK HE BEATS ME, but this is the night that I realized that I was becoming a very good Puller. It gave me motivation to keep training harder. I was 200 LBS. and 20% body fat in that Video and now I am around 180 lbs and 10% fat ( It also gave me motivation to get the H@ll at that 198 class LOL !

My favorite Youtube of me is a match I lost, too.
I was pulling James Battles at Nationals one year. (Atlanta 2001). It's motivational for me because I tried everything I could and still lost. I got beat by a stronger will than my own.

This vid is when I first started AW. Very bad form and just learning. Toward the middle of the vid is when I start getting better. Shots from 4 different tourneys compiled.....
....and this one is my favorite one cause by now I have actually learned quite a bit.

Thanks, Justin. That match ruined both of us for that Nationals. That's a really good hit you have there in that match against Logsdon.
Jonathan, that's some really good pulling in the second video.

Thanks John, Bill is a Class A Puller and a great guy. I Pull a lot like Bill and he always has the advantage of having a Bigger Hand than me and I'm not that great in a Hook or Press so it's a bad match up all the way around for me. Speed is the only way to even have a chance at all against him.

^Nice match, Mike!^ My clip is mostly from early novice matches with a couple opens sprinkled in. I wish there were more videos of my past matches to study and learn from
