    SPEEDB.A.G. VI Practice...

    Well, it's that time again, with SPEEDB.A.G. VI right around the corner...I have to really start practicing to even begin to keep up with the young folk! (in my dreams)

    Hitting a Balazs XS Lazer on the Balazs Adjustable 30" Platform. Really liking the Balazs Lazer, keep it at about 4lbs. pressure and like the amount of force needed to keep it going.

    ....now....back to practicing!

    Hope to see you all at the Gathering.

          Thanks Ralph! You & I are a lot alike, we both like a bag that takes a beating...something you can sink a fist into.

          I remember that first video too...didn't even have my ball-hook yet!
          ...and I was a slow learner.

            Inspiring!

            Your videos are almost as good as your bagging.

            Did you get that good in one month?

                Wow! Some great baggin Man! I'm gonna study this one. I've been trying forever to learn how to do that combo sequence you did at 1:59. Your the first person That posted a vid that ran it in slow motion for long enough that I can see what's going on. Sometimes I see people do some pretty cool moves but can't figure out for the life of me what it is they're doing. That is, until someone who knows how to do it good runs it in slow motion. lol

                  Cool...and thanks! If you need a combo in Slomo, and I can do it, I'd be glad to make a video for you. Just let me know. Would love to see you make it to the SPEEDB.A.G. Gathering, you'd have a blast & learn from THE best!

                    That would be real awesome. Where and when does it take place?

                      If I was good enough (like you) to hang with the top speed baggers, I'd go.
                      Maybe next year for me?

                        Hey BaggerBob, You don't have to be good at all to hang with the top speed baggers. Hanging together at the gathering has nothing to do with your present skill level. There has never been a skill level assigned to being among the best at "the gathering", just a love of the bag (or baggers) in your heart and way to get to New Jersey. And you can be sure, whatever your bagging skill level when you get there, it will be much better when you leave.

                        See.... we be teaching each other, from beginners to super advanced, everyone learns new stuff.

                        So come on down! Keyport NJ.

                          I hear what you're saying, but it would be nice to be good enough to try out different bags/platforms and be able to add some new moves, properly.

                          I feel like I would want to participate more then just watch.

                          I'm sure I would learn a lot, just wish I had a couple months under my belt.
                          You guys are all good people from what I've seen and read.

                          I'm a 7 1/2 hour drive away and realistically I won't make this one.
                          I will be around for the next!

                          Thanks for the invite.

                              No need to wait till next year Bagger Bob. Best way to learn is to watch other people. Especially if your just starting out. That's why I want to go. You should try to make it out if you can. I want to but I live in Fl so I have to see what my schedule is going to be like first.
