Here are two more clips with improved lighting enjoy. Biff, I tried to put some tunes on but when I played back it was all distorted so I gotta work on that. I also recorded at two different angles, I prefer to hit from the front of the platform but it seems that I get a better angle for video from the side. Let me know which is better?
More videos with better lighting

Much better, MD. Both were very well done. If you like hitting from the front, stay with that. Man you were full-out on the F-Roll in the first clip around the 2:00 min mark. Nice mix of punching in both clips.
The lighting made a big difference, the quality of the video was much clearer. D@mn, I was tired after watching you beat up on that poor bag for over 8 minutes.
Experiment with the music, maybe you can get in some bag time with the music in the background.

Alright Metaldad! Great job! You have many of the patterns together. Have you gotten into the O-DES and O-TES stuff yet? Nice and even and taking your time! Nice headbutt!
In the first clip, you were locked into a nice rhythm at around 1:05. It was pretty much a | FCP FCP FCP FCP FDP | (4 FCP's and 1 FDP)....
Can you hear the groove you are punching? It is a basic syncopated 4/4 rhythm. I ask because you were repeating it a bunch of times and then were adding in some more FDP's and fist rolls after the initial pattern.
SO....if you can hear these you can probably start punching that phrase and many others to tunes. Billie Jean and The Thing That Should Not Be are good tempos for the stuff you were doing at the tempo you were punching around for the most part.....
Looking forward to more! Nice to finally see you baggin'!
BAG ON!

I like to watch from a side view, but that is really an issue of camera placement. Your first video was kinda from the side. Actually, if you move the camera a bit more to the left it would have been like the 2nd video. I like the view of the second video because the camera is at shoulder level making it easy to see the arm positions and fist movements.
To me it looks like your trying to duck your hands under the bag (1:22 - 1:32 in first video) a bit to get behind. I see a definite "downward, then forward" motion on single fist pass through figure 8's. That downward motion should not be necessary and it slows you down because it is an inefficient motion. To get out of that, reverse the movement. Instead of starting from the front, start from the reverse position. Do three or four Reverse Single Punches, (RSP), then pass to one Front Circle Punch (FCP). It will be easier going back to front then front to back.
You also do that with the Front Double Punch (FDP) to Reverse Double Punch (RDP). Reverse that combination also. It might take a little work to do continuous Reverse Double Punching (RDP) ' ' ' (RDP) but it's worth the effort.
Fist Rolling looks very good. Solid movement and rhythm. For the Elbow (O-SES), now advance that to the Outward Double Elbow Strike
(O-DES), by letting the same fist as the elbow follow the movement and the bag will rebound into it. You don't put your fist "on the bag". when you get the movement right the bag will simply rebound into your fist. At that point you can also pass the fist through. It's no different than single fist pass throughs, just putting an elbow in front.
Keep working, you're doing great!! Hope to see you in Chicago with SSP and we'll give you a tune up!Speed Bag

OHHHH snap!! look at that bad mama jama tear up the bag. Looks like POWER is in them hands. Good working. When you are ready to learn some new tricks it will be to your best benifit to SETTLE DOWN and relaz a little more as well as get you a BALL HOOK SWIVEL "i know i know you probly dont like those, however to learn more tricks it is much easier to control the bag with a ball hook swivel. Dont get me wrong your speedbag skills you have now are CRISP!!! But if your wanting to expand then you must seek out to new things on the bag. Might even be a good idea to get ANOTHER platform and ball hook swivel so that way you can learn new tricks on that platform then go to your STANDARD platform to TEAR it UP!! But good videos man keep up the great work.
BTW dont become a nut like SpeedBagScissor hands lmao its hard enough with one of those guys running around online hahaha "Just kiddin scissor hands u know u my Bag Brother for Life!
As well as all you speedbaggers!
Ur SpeedBag buddy

Metaldad no problem brother!! Honestly the platform you have now isone of the best i have punched on. I bought my dad a 800.00 one for his 50th Bday and guess what its about the same other then being much larger. But stability wise its the same as the 120.00 everlast platform.
As far as you SPEEDBAGSCISSORHANDS you are right we are both crazy dude with a CRAZY IMAGINATION im still looking forward to gettin together to do the ULTIMATE SPOOF. maybe when speedbag 2010 comes along we can all be a part of a spoof. omg. will be great!!
