 what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10452 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | Anyone seen a good attempt at carrying them? Thought it would have to be sumo but looks like Farmers style could work. It says a couple of guys have managed it but i think thats with about a million drops? No ones done it properly have they? | ||

Thought it would have to be sumo but looks like Farmers style could work. It says a couple of guys have managed it but i think thats with about a million drops? No ones done it properly have they? No one has done it fully across without drops... My pal Mark did this feat last year; the last metre or 2 with a snapped achilles tendon (hadn't realised at the time). The small stone swung and caught his ankle which you can make out towards the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctbkNsQKIQ0&t=1s His aim is to walk across with them in one go this year, a few other folk looking to attempt it too (Bryan Hunsaker from the States etc) | ||
