If I lived by the beach, I would try to get the speed bag involved in some of the many Beachbased Drumcircles
These feature short (1 or 2 measures) rhythmic grooves that all the assembled "drummers" join, and maybe add short, personal variations - but always returning to the basic established beat. A "groove" may last up to 10 minutes or more if the crowd is into it. Some of our better baggers who are beginning to understand the bag beat, can easily do that now.

They happen anywhere
International Drum circles
Drum circles in general

Sounds like a cool commercial Speedbag. BTW, did the guy in the Arrow shirt happen to have a 'stach and big guns?

Beach Bag
Originally posted by BillyMack View PostThanks, guys. Yes, there are several gyms like this in Venice and Santa Monica where I live. Bars, rings, rope climb, not to mention "Muscle Beach" where our fearless governer (Arnold) packed on the pecs....
Some huge Bodybuilder was posing on the beach, and a bunch of young women were gathered around, eyeing him.
the camera zooms out and catches the bag stands in the background. Some guy (hmmm ) in business suit comes up, takes off his sport coat and starts ripping the speed bag. The girls hear the sound, look amazed and run off to the bag stand where they gather around and watch.
camera has about a 6 second close up of the bag punching, then pans out a bit to see more woman running to the bag, amazement in their eyes. Their all reaching for the bag puncher, touching him. He stops and looks at one of the women who says "What an awesome shirt. what's this made of...?" All the other girls nod "yea, nice shirt.."
the bag puncher is looking quizically at the bag and the women....
and the announcer says. "Arrow dress shirts. 100% cotton". they look great even at the beach..."
Too bad the shirt companies I sent the video pitch to didn't respond. I think it would have given the bud frogs and horses a run for their money as the top superbowl spot.
the story is true, the dream was true (still is....)
I guess it's the thought that counts...

I heard about these beach units a long time ago. Venice beach is really cool to offer them. Wish all the great beaches had them, but I fear most would be torn up or swivels stolen.
I would be great to get four or five really baggers down there to put on a show, rotating from bag to bag, punching. Looks like you might want to take a small step to raise yourself up.
And that would be cute, to take a small portable exercise stepper with you and do a step & punch demo.
Great video post. original.

If I could I would but even the nuts/bolts for the swivels are rusted shut; it would take some power tools to get them off...anyone got a plasma torch they can loan me?

Venice Beach is an experience that is hard to describe, especially in the summer. Between the street performers, the Muscle Beach outdoor gym, and just the public themselves it's like a several block long sideshow.
