This one should be a lot of fun. Still testing exact setup, but right now we're looking at everyone using 2 1929 Model A's with the angle of the ramps changing to increase difficulty. Athletes will take their grip, the weight will be eased into their hands, then time will start. Time will end when either hand releases from the handles. As of now the handle grips will be rolling, not fixed, if that changes I will update this page. NO HOOK GRIP
