Hi everyone,
I'm currently working with a hold company to produce a feature that is not on the market, but has been in my mind for about a year. Think of it as a large flat mushroom.
It is a large disk, about 36'' in diameter, and sticks out of the wall about 4-5 inches. The disk mushrooms out so that there is a 3'' lip all the way around. therefore the feature will be a mega jug for heal hooking/big hands all the way around. great for getting all four limbs on in a comp. the feature will only make sense on very steep terrein. the first one should be finished in a week or so, i'll post pictures. questions? anyone interested?
a new feature!!

what is the "flat" part going to look like? slick as owl sh!t, or textured? slopers, chicken heads, anything? I actually just saw what you describe but only in a 5in version, was kinda cool...I do favor the crimpey stuff though.
I'd be all in if on the 3 FOOT diameter you could bolt/screw on more holds...seems like real estate lost otherwise by a massive jug. would be nice for sticking in the way of another line...giant blocker comes to mind.

I think I would agree with freakystyley about the lost real estate. If you could incorporate t-nuts into this design, it would greatly increase the usage of this feature.
It does sound pretty interesting though and I am anxious to see the posted pictures.

Speaking of features of that size, which hold companies are in the market for those types of shapes? I ask only because just before this website was redone, everyone was drooling over JK’s Growth, but many of the comments were that none of the gyms or individuals can afford these monster holds.
Ergo why even make these giants, shouldn’t we just be sticking to the regular sized holds that people can afford and don’t cost in wall real estate?
I find this facinating!

Unfortunetly Delire has the worst website i have ever seen, because hey make some amazing funky volumes that i would love to have.
As well keeping things canadian, Bolo are starting to pump out some really good volumes.
I believe both companies will do custom shapes, but do not quote me on that, just shoot of an e-mail and find out.

Hey Guys,
The main 3ft diameter portion will have an array of t-nuts on it, so the space will not be wasted. good catch. i should have a picture up in the next week or two.Posted 2 years ago #
