Sounds like an illegal UFC move I take it that it's basically also reversing front eye (as well as the kings reverse rear eye) or is there more to it?

Will also look at possibility of replacing the main leaf with a thicker one Edited 20/02/17 06:29 AM by camo86T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
