    Me testing dynaglide UCRs

    I've used dynaglide UCRs in the past for short periods, but I was always a bit uneasy about the weight rating and always went back to amsteel for peace of mind. I decided to risk my behind and see what these things can handle. I was pleased with the outcome. Here's a short video of the highly involved process.

    In the words of Shug, Whoooo, buddy! I haven't had the chance to test the ones I got from you yet, but now I'm more than confident that they will hold!
    I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!

    I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.

    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.

    Your scientific methods line up perfectly with my train of thought . . .

    I still have a hard time trusting dynaglide, but this helps. Thanks for putting your a$$ on the line.

    Re: Me testing dynaglide UCRs

    That little line is impressive for sure... I wonder if swinging in it would add more stress... But it would also make for a much more spectacular fail
