Wow! Stumbled across Alan Kahn on youtube now I'm here. I have alot of passions in life and this is the first forum I've signed up on. I've been Baggin on and off for 12 or more years and thought I was good, but dang I'm blown away at the skill of you guys.I'm completely motivated to be as good as you guys I've always wanted to get better at hitting to music. Now it's possible is anyone in the St louis area that I could train with? Please let me know I'm actually in St peters. Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Hey Sparrky, welcome to the forum. There's no better place on the planet to learn about speedbagging. It's eye-opening to see some of the masters at work. Like you, at first, I was completely amazed at what I saw these guys do. But with practice and the help from this forum, I'm on the journey.
You'll find that everyone is helpful in one way or another. There's lots of encouragement and honest, constructive criticism. Take a look at some of the vids in the Pictures and Videos section to see what I mean.
We're pretty much spread out all over the world, so don't be surprised if someone is close to you.
I see on your profile you're into skydiving. Tandem or solo? I took my daughter skydiving for her 21st birthday a few years ago (tandem). Man, what a rush!!! The greatest thrill-experience of my life. Would do it again in a minute.
Anyway, welcome aboard, and look forward to your participation.

Hey Sparrky! Welcome! You're in luck!
The Speed Bag Truck is coming to your town on January 21st!
That's right! It will be parked at the Ameristar Casino. And you also get 2 tickets to see Foreigner that night!
Since you're new, you probably don't know what I'm talking about.
But I'm sure by the end of the day someone, if not a few, will fill you in.
Just go youtube Sped Bag Truck. Or search through the pics and vids section here. The SB Truck has been blessed with Alan Kahn, Speed Bag Skunk, Tim Platt, Jordan, Metal Dad and Speed Bag Scissorhands' presence!
Hope your calendar is open then! We start the baggin' in the mid afternoon....
BAG ON!

Welcome to the forum. I've got relatives up in that area of Missouri. Years ago I lived in the Charleston, Wyatt Missouri area, real close to Cairo Illinois. I still still have relatives in that area. I think I still have an old speed bag unit hung up in one of the barns. That was many years ago. I haven't been "Barn Baggin" in a while.
Best way to get better at hitting to music is: HIT TO MUSIC. Try to feel the pulse of the bag beat and the pulse of the music. Feeling the beat is the key. You can do it! If you get a chance to catch Foreigner and SSP in the Speed Bag Truck be sure and do it. Be part of the legenday truck tour. If you want to see and hear punch drumming, Spin is a great one to spend some time with. He's great on the bag and a premier Punch Drummer. You'll learn a ton from him. And afterwards, you'll see an awesome Rock and Roll show by a legendary band.Speed Bag
Put a little Rhythm in YOUR workout!
*attendee: Every SB gathering so far!
The Quest Continues...
Hoping for another Gathering...
