For some reason, fist roll makes me think of cartoons or comedy movies. I can't put my finger on it, just some old memories. Popeye, Bugs Bunny maybe?

This tells me that they've all seen bag footage and or Rocky. But they all seem to try something.. When they try for a triplet their arms are all over the place as they hunt for the bag making huge circles and almost banging their knuckles on the top edge of the platform.
But I digress. It's like they instinctually are familiar with fist roll or triplets. But that's just exposure to said movie ETC

Baggers > stamp collectors. The bagger’s hand and elbow speed would allow him/her to land at least four or five strikes before the stamp collector knew what was happening. The accuracy developed by the bagger would ensure the ‘Inverted Jenny’ is included in the handful of stamps pocketed while the stamp collector was stunned.

I guess not everybody gets bit by the bug in the same way we do. Our bass player thinks I'm nuts. A while ago after practice one night he motioned over to my baggin area and asked me "what the hell is this all about and when the hell does it stop?" I tried to explain the addiction to him as best I could. He's content with learning triplets and a fist roll but that's it. After telling him everything about different sized bags, hitting with elbows, hitting all around the bag, the sounds of the bag.. I went through everything. He just glazed over and said something to the effect of "sounds like a bunch of macho stamp collectors" Some people just don't get it.
Yet they'll watch bible bagging and be very complimentary as well.. I don't know. It never gets old and no set is the same twice.
I don't plan on editing this one unless I've got a great reason. I'm a macho stamp collector.

I can understand why the forum is not as popular as it used to be 5 to 10 years ago. An online forum is a bit passe these days. I see a little interest on Instagram, some say they know of the forum, say they will check it out, but then never show up here. The skunk was posting vids on IG in high gear there for a while right after SBX, and the hashtags where popping for a while. But that all seemed to fizzle pretty quickly. Similar with B.D. But nothing yet approached a "critical mass" that could bring the underground together.
