        I'll get the hang of it. It's more foot positioning than anything. Misplace your feet wrong and it puts your head in alignment with the board. lol

          Lose any bark off your forehead? I hit the swivel on my vert setup the other day, that was fun, but i've never thought of attacking the platform until now. Mine is a bit higher than yours but a flying headbutt should do the job. Thanks for posting that up, you're a top man alright!

                Upper cut love. Shows exactly what happens when punch upwards on the bag. When the forces align it launches the bag off the hook. (that is a good reason for using either duct tape or some other method to lock the bag on the hook. The errant punch will fail and probably kill the bag or cause a loud "chunk" sound as the swivel is driven upward, but you don't have to worry about it launching off the hook.

                  that "fail" makes you seem a lot more human - I can't tell you how impressed I was with the first video of yours I saw. Some of you guys........

                      I like the bag being able to fly off. Adds amusement. But if it hits the window behind me one more time it will probably smash, then I will be in trouble lol. Or worse than smashing the window it might terminally gash my bag. Ouch

                        I thought about narrowing the gap on my deville swivel, also have a couple more ideas. I'll post if I do something and it works (or doesn't).

                              LOL. that's a good one. There's a phrase over here that is used when people or groups say what day "it" (life, earth,....the apocolypse etc) will all end. When that days comes we say, "that can't be right, it's already tomorrow in Australia".
