    I'm still here!

    Hello everyone, I feel I have to let my friends on the forum know I'm still about and I do pop into the forum from time to time to see what's happening. It's been a very busy year for me but, I'm still making time for the speed bag.

    I have just ordered an Everlast adjustable platform, the same as Fingers. I'm tired of my old one vibrating, even with 25Kg of sand on top. Also, it'll be better for the kids, saves them having to climb up onto a dodgy wooden box I made.

    Anyway, I promise to show my face around here a bit more, depending on my work load.

    Take care guys!

    Rival 9x6. A bit slower than the smaller 8x5's but easier to control.

    NICE VINI!!!! Yeah I was watching your vid wondering how you were staying so smooth and consistent with that platform wobbling and that Rival bag(which I really like those bags but they really make you work.) I have the 6x4 and the 5x8 myself. I think you'll love your new platform. EVERLAST really hit a home run with that one!!!

          Very nice Vini! Too bad that board wobbles so much. I figured it would have been more steady with the thickness of it and it being attached to the brick wall. Good luck with the Everlast. We all love it. Another member just got one and said it didn't come with hardware so be ready for that but the board is still top notch for the price. Great control of the bag by the way. You kept it nice and flowing. Didn't stumble once. Good stuff

            It takes a lot more effort to keep them going, you can see this in almost every video.

            Hello fingers, yeah, that ball hook is more challenging than the Title deluxe and it's cheap at £12. I enjoy the Cleto, because of it's size the board vibrates less. i call it the crazy bag, because of it's speed compared to the Title 8x5.

            Hello metaldad, Well I just got some bad news, they're out of stock therefore the order got cancelled. Well at that price, I'm not surprised they sold out.

                        Fitting thread for this post...

                        Working my but off and been out of the loop a bit. IM BACK

                        I had taken a break from teaching at the NASL Base gym for a few months and just restarted the class this week. First night back and had 15 new students enroll

                        goodtimes... Just burning the candle at both ends at the moment.



                        Woof,
                        Dean

                            Indeed it is.

                            I don't know what I'm going to do around here. You guys do it so... seemingly effortlessly... fluidly... *I don't mean that as any kind of diminishment of your skills or the obviously dedicated effort you have put in, please don't think I mean that. I'm a bit in awe but I cannot duplicate those techniques just yet. I am glad to be able to see you all do them and give me something to strive toward.

                            I'm working at it. I do wonder if I've got any kind of talent sometimes.

                              hey mike, dont put yourself down fella.. ive only been at it roughly 6 weeks.. and im not all that myself mate. I sometimes feel the same, i look at the baggers here with awe and frustration.. because they make it look so damn easy lol .. then you have to realise that quite a few of the guys here have been doing it for years.. thats what keeps me going, knowing that sooner or later i might just be as good as them some day .. infact i WILL BE if i try hard enough.. Keep at it mike and you will be too..

                              Bagging is like eating a box of pringles...once you pop you cant stop
