Thanks to everyone who joined in today's twitterchat with Jedd 'Napalm' Johnson (twitter.com/JeddJohnson). It really was a fascinating discussion on card tearing; a few highlights :
'When I tear choke & peel, the deck tears from the BOTTOM. Not sure why. Any advice?'
'really take notice of it. when you know you have a really good straight seem, then it is time to make sure...'
'have you tried setting up a double deck pull, josh?'
'a great collection. he just posted some stuff on the gb'
'i am wondering about this. you should give it a try. i have never seen a lady do it, but it would be cool!'
'joe musselwhite fashioned a better version out of cable pulls'
'In the manual you describe different progression techniques which one is your personal favorite to gain progress?'
Overall it was a great discussion. Next week we're chatting with Josh Hanagarne about Training in the Workplace. See you there.
I'd love to hear what you think. Pop over to the forums and share your opinion. See you there.
