There
are a lot of new and exciting things happening in our sport lately.
One of the best to come along is Arm/TV by Gary Roberts and Dave Devoto.
You can see streaming videos of top events from around the World.
Check out the style some of the top pullers in the World use.
This can be a valuable tool for training. Great job Gary and Dave. There also seems to be a lot more events paying money and super awards. It appears there will be another Harley Pull event on the West Coast. Travis Bagent is trying to run a lot of tournaments paying good money plus there are quite a few set up on the West Coast. For more info check out the upcoming events on the USA site. We will also post any info we receive on special events on the IAF site
Another improvement to check out if you haven’t already done so is the
new Northeast Message Board on the Maine Armwrestling Site (http://www.maine-armwrestling.com/).
This is fast becoming THE Board to post on and be heard. So take time to
check it out. Results
