Worlds Fastest Splicer - #BeatErikVega To Win $500

[Grendel]

This is great!

I wonder if its like the Pepsi Challenge, where the market grew due to adverting, and they both won, rather than just a fight over market share. Dentists and such won, too... put there kids though college.

Increased use of splicing services?

Bad on the body. I think they should come up with a powered milker that grips (gently) one way, and easily slides the other, like an ascender

and powered hammer, a la blacksmithing/ powered desk staplers, but geared to hammering rope.

You can use a prusik to milk it, just not in a speed contest. The guys have ALL sorts of labor saving tricks, but the try hard is the fastest.

Wow!

It's not even like they're shaving a few seconds off each time; they're taking huge chunks of time. I feel this is a long way from over.....

Holy shit.

 

[High Scale]

Incredible.

That is unbelievable. Every one of these videos, I've watched it and said "That's it. That can't get any quicker"

 

[flushcut]

Unfathomable!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I bet it gets even faster...

 

[CurSedVoyce]

It would take me 1/2 a day to even attempt that..

 

[MasterBlaster]

Post the vid!!!

I love this thread! I went back and watched Eriks first video. It looks like he's really taking his time. It blows my mind that these lads are able to get under 5 minutes all in.

It usually takes me 5 mins to get the core out and mark the rope, let alone bury, finish and whip.

It usually takes me 5 minutes to find the book and get the right page of instructions!

Give it a go Nick!!

Wonder if this could be beaten now
