Tire Flip

Right after we opened the gym, I drove out to Lincoln and picked up a 380# tire and we labeled it the BFT.  At the time I remember it feeling pretty heavy, and a few of our strongest females were able to flip it over.  Later on down the road, a local neighbor called me up and asked if he could drop off a tire that his wife was making him get rid of.  Now we had a 440# tire and the BFT wasn’t so B any more.  Later the same guy came by with a matching tire which I traded a friend for a 550# tire.  The 550#er feels really heavy and was fun for a while.

In planning for the throwdown I stopped by Blair’s gym and he had two of the monster size tires that we used in the throwdown.  At first attempt I couldn’t even get it to move, which bothered me a bit. I wanted to see if I could just move it, which I did.  After that it was a mission to become the second person to flip it, which I did. After the throwdown, I convinced Blair to let us keep it, given the fact he has an identical one at his place.  So, now we have one for you all to take a wack at.  Let’s call it the HFT.

So far, after seeing me do it, Blair was able to do it.  3 of the strongest competitors in the Throwdown were able to do it.  Ben Alderman, Jamie Lee, and our very own Alan Strange. Then Matt P flipped this bad boy pretty effortlessly as we were cleaning up from the event.

2 questions.  Are you man enough? and who’s going to be the first female to flip it?
