Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013 - 2015 - Official Thread

[BlueOctoberFan]

I apologize for not posting earlier, but I'll get a pic up as soon as I can. I was out of town helping my father build a new garage and pick up a frame for a '32 Ford model T he plans on building. Denim angel submission.

OK... the pictures...

So, finally got my Gustin Superheavys yesterday (though they're only 18 oz. which I guess doesn't count as superheavy to most people here). Here's a few pictures. The comparison shot is with my Gustin Japanese Standards and a random pair of Thai raws. Pretty impressed with Gustin thus far, even though delivery took forever. Looking forward to breaking these in and actually participating in the contest.

HC-SF-122 reporting for the next challenge with Sporty denim!

We found a local little bouldering gym so we decided to hit it up.  Coastal Climbing Gym in Charleston, great place with true ratings to outside climbing, which means a lot because most places sugar coat the ratings.  Anyways this was the cleanist photo I got we put all our stuff in the cubbies provided and went off climbing.

 

I intend to top this off visit off by going down the King Street Bridge on my longboard, it is supposed to be the fastest hill around here.

^ I did that last week with the EHxNK pair. It's been about 5 years off the wall for me. Before that I was climbing for about 7 years. It felt like I was pretty much back to square one. Just spent the whole day traversing some long routes back and forth.

[FLDenim211]

Yeah the gym favored inclines at 70 or less so it was a similar experience for me

After a week, the jeans have started to soften and stretch to its raw measurement.

Really appreciate the extra room on thigh and seat area. Still got the slim silhouette yet comfortable enough to be my daily jeans.

AB Beef - keep dry dude!!! We've had it here but not as bad as in Calgary and High River. Stay safe!

Great stuff JimmyC!

Noodle - you guys all okay? I hope so brother!

[Noodle36]

The Old Man River crested today @ 12:00 - 3:00.  The Bow River and High River crested a tad earlier and caused major...major damage.  Down Town Calgary is flooded.  The Saddle Dome was flooded up to about the 10th row of seating.  They had to evacuate the animals at the Calgary Zoo as it is located along the Bow.  High River had people stranded on roof tops. 

[UkeNo]

Noodle - just saw this Crazyness on the BBC.

I hope your okay mate? Chin up. Me and the Girlfriend (who's a Canada-ist?!) both sending you our best wishes.

Stay safe.

Checking in;

HC-SF-09 IHxBxHCx25

Last Saturday (15/6/13). Totnes, Devon, UK.

River Dart behind me - tides out (Not my Boat).

Rogue Territory - Dbl Indigo Workshirt.

Iron Heart - MBB's 25oz.

Redwing.

Yeah, Double-Denim. It's not a problem. We're dangerous over 'ere.

[Danny @ Rivet & Hide]

Thanks Ukeno.

This reminds me to send our best wishes to our customers in Calgary some of whom are in this comeptition. Hope you're all safe and well.

Danny & Junior

Thanks UK! The majority of Lethbridge is above the old man river so we as a community have not suffered nearly as much damage as Calgary or High River.

Mostly hail, wind and flooding as a result of the water overwhelming infrastructure.

Hopefully AB Beef is ok and can provide a first hand account of what his experience has been.

On a different note. I was bit by a dog today. It was a defensive bite of an immature dog so I was quite lucky. I have a weekness for assuming all German Shepherds are like mine. Not the case apparently. Anyways I'm not the kind of sufu'er who likes showing stomach shots (pushing 40 etc) but you wouldn't be able to see it otherwise.

Notice the placement of the bite?!? I think he saw the MBB's and veered up.

Holy shit Noodle, you're having quite a time of it man. Stay safe from the floods and keep away from dogs you don't know (I sound like your mother now, ha ha).

 

Stay safe to everyone effected by the flooding please.

[Max Power]

We went to Cologne to see Tegan and Sara, so I took some shots of the impressive Cathedral. It had been worked on for over 500 years and is a gothic masterpiece. Still there are modern elements like the Gerhard Richter window (yes, the one that looks like your old television test picture). No jeans to bee seen, though. Have a nice week, champs.

 

 

 

 

[Megatron1505]

Always love your posts Flo.

[Max Power]

Thank you   And I hope all is safe over there in canada. Crossing fingers for you.

Hey guys just checking in again it's been pretty busy in calgary. As noodle said we have had some pretty crazy floods and a good portion of our downtown core along with many communities along the river are underwater. A few of my cousins have been evacuated and will need some help dealing with damages once the water goes down and we have some family from the town, high river, south of calgary that are staying at my parents right now as 90% of the housing there is flooded.

 

It's a pretty crazy situation, roads that I normally drive to work are closed, a large portion of shops outside of the flooding don't have staff available to work as they can't travel over the river, and downtown is empty and feels like a ghost town. The good news though is that the city handled the situation really well. People for the most part had a days notice so they were able to evacuate safely. We had all the canadian armed forces that were posted in Alberta come in and help, about 1200 troops,  and emergency services have actually had to turn people trying to help away as there were to many volunteers. Groups have also started being organized through social media and other mediums so that when the area is clear we can get everyone down to the damaged areas to help clean up and get people back into their houses. No recorded deaths or major injuries, no reported looting or vandalism either just lots of property damage and displaced people.

 

Here are some pics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the support and concern guys.
