Sub 1:00 Splits

Chris Brett · Post by **Chris Brett** » May 23rd, 2007, 2:39 pm

Phew it was tough but with a new apProach and a bit of hard effort I've done it. What a breakthrough. I've now recorded split tiMe speeds of 0:58 once and 0:59 three tImes. Dedication does sometimes pay off. I will keep you posted on further developments.

Cheers Chris.

Are you using some kind of trick like a short slide or are you hitting those splits with raw power and speed? That is impressive. How quickly do you get down to that, and how long can you hold it?

It usually takes 5 or 6 strokes and I have only managed to get one split at a time. Some guys on the UK Forum have asked for a video so I am going to do one in the week.

You can pull like that and you can write brilliant software. That's just not fair! You've taken my share of the talent pot.

Cheers

Well sorry for the delays guys here is the genuine sub 1:00 split video.

See under Videos.

I couldn't quite get my PB as my ergo is right next to a window in my office at the moment, so a little caution was appropriate.

I will have another crack soon.

Cheers Chris
