    Sorry If I missed this somewhere...

    But when did the Jacks upgrade the BMBH to accomodate heavier weights. Thats cool. Now I want one too. 275 lbs should be more than enough for me now. In fact I know a few people who went another way only because of the weight limits, so that's really great news.
    Again sorry if I'm excited about old news but even if it is it's no less good news.
    I thought I was wrong once, turns out I was wrong about that.

    I just saw it on their site today. I dont recall seeing it a last week when I checked. I believe it is a new thing. I was wondering what the difference between the new and old bars are that make it stronger. New material but same weight? Pretty cool concept however I wonder how comfortable a 275lbs person would be. Kinda like putting a round person in a rectangular hammock. Who knows it might work out fine

    I've had 250# in a DIY bridge and did quite nicely. I would expect it to be very workable. The biggest concern I would have would be a tarp. But that is a problem with the bridge design one way or the other.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
