Special, Special thanks to Alan & Tim for not only their support & belief in this project...for their time at the crazy busy Speed B.A.G. III gathering...but their EXTREMELY generous donations!

Dogtoke...you rock! Again, I can't thank you enough for the donation. It's hard to express how much I appreciate the support from my fellow baggers.

As I review the footage and interviews, I'm very pleased and have a lot to work with in telling our speed bag story.

Cheers to you all!

No biggie Zaza, you can do it anyway, rely on no one to let you down or discourage you from your vision. Just like working the speed bag, you must find your own way into a new rhythem, start slow, momentum will come.

Psalms 118:8
King James Version
"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man."

Thanks to everyone who did support the film.... it was worth a shot....now I'll see you all in Keyport so I can get some great interviews and speed bag footage.

Lets get this film started!

Sorry to hear that as well. I sent you a PM with some thoughts. I will support the film in any way I feasibly can. It's a great story and it is overdue to be told!

Like baseball, speed baggin' is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

they say, when you come to a fork in the road, take it. The secret is recognizing the forks, and this appears to be one, but we will perservere.

26 hours to go....

Thanks to all who have backed the project!
(it was worth a shot)

got a notice from Kickstarter that it did not fund....

You know that feeling you get, in the middle of a really great workout, when everything seems great and your rippin' it up.... and then your bag goes flat, bladder blown?

Yep, that's kinda how it feels.

except a little worse.

Yeah... not as much interest as I thought in the film? With over 1200 members here, there have only been 7 pledges from forum members (Thank you guys SO much...you know who you are). It's just nice to know you have a little support.

No worries, like I've said before, this film will be made because I believe in the subject and think it will make an outstanding story that others will want to hear.

See you all in Keyport in July!

how much time left. been outta work for about a month and would like to fork out some money when i get some work, will you go through with the film if the goal isn't met afterward. i hope so, will you take a paypal at a later date to help out ?...ralph

Thanks Ralph.... 63 hours to go and at this point there's not any hope of it funding.

Once the campaign ends, I'll be in touch as any independent support will be most appreciated....and yes, I'm still going to make the film, it's just going to take a bit longer as I have to fund it myself.

Thanks for the support.
