I don't know what is costs to send stuff from AU to USA, but it costs a ton to go the other way. Almost $30-40 dollars for a Book & DVD from USA to AU. Outrageous. Unless you want it to go by boat, then it's more reasonable but it will take 30 days or more

thank you Alan.

I wish Jim Bradley would partner with one of the US vendors to make their product easily available and affordable here in the states. In fact, we given that exact feedback to the "Powers that be" at Jim Bradley in regards to distributing their stuff with a vendor in the US. The shipping cost is a killer. The bags are top notch, but premium priced. Add on top of that a lot of shipping (and/or shipping time), and it's hard to make that purchase...

No word on when or if any such thing will happen though.

Tim, would you say Jim Bradley's big bag is the best old school bag currently offered? Did you hit that one at SPEED B.A.G. 2010? It would probably make a good floor bag amongst other things.

Yeah Brother, I haven't tried to have one shipped. But, I will tell you that they are really nice bags. They're light, but are balanced really nice and have enough weight to really keep them moving. They're fast. I had the privilege of hitting a variety of them at SB 2010. One was made from Kangaroo skin (go figure) Haha! As Tim mentioned, hopefully they'll work out something where they'd be available to us Yanks(?) in the states. Really nice bags!

I'll run the brand by some people at Title. Hopefully they have more than just speed bag stuff? I would hope they would have an assortment of products. I don't know if it would be worth carrying just one swivel and a couple speed bags from an over seas vendor.

yea jb makes a lot of stuff, but i believe they are mostly known for their speed bags (or speedballs as they call it).

i apologize if this has been posted allready but there is an intersting bit about jim bradley on this page under the "becoming a coach" section

I don't know about them being "old school" but I hit all of them at the gathering and each one was SWEET. Very light on the hands with fast rebound. A lot of "pop" in these bags for some reason. I've got the mid size blue one and love it. (thanks Deano & Tim)

Yes, any of the models would make a good floor bag. large enough and light. Great hanging bag too

I think they've got a huge-mongus size too (referred to as the 40 cm bag), we didn't have any of those at the gathering though.

I just watched a show on TV were they used kangaroo hide to make bull whips. They said it was much tougher than cow hide. I think also softer and more flexible. Would love to have one of these bags.

Would love to have a kangaroo bag as well. Would definitely want one of the 40cm Jim Bradley bags, too.
