Thought y'all would enjoy this, as I did!!!

[spinsmashpop]

I just received this letter from a person who befriended me on face book; a face book friend as we've never met....
I read this and thought it was too cool. She said it was ok to post here after I told her how cool speed baggers are!
Enjoy...

Hey Brian: )
I owe you the BIGGEST THANK YOU EVER!!!: ) : ). You really didn’t even “do” anything, but I feel like I still owe it to you anyway. I’m recovering from hip surgery, and confined to my bed for the most part. I have some of the greatest friends on earth, they try their best to come and visit me when they can, and even give me the occasional live and unplugged show from my bed: ) lol. However, I was still having many moments of extreme boredom and aggravating frustration, until I watched a speed bagging video that you were tagged in. With the help of my brother, a bit of creativity, and a little imagination, we were able to rig a special speed bag platform just for me, right by my bed: ) I honestly don’t know what I would have done, if I hadn’t watched that video you were tagged in. I had no way of venting any of my frustrations, and was running out of ways to distract myself from not only the boredom, but the pain of this recovery as well. So, even though you didn’t really do anything...THANK YOU BRIAN!!!!: ) : ) THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH!!!!: ) ♪♫♪♫¸.•´¯`»✿°*”♪♫☆¨¯`☆♪♫°*”♪♫☆� �☆♪♫

Speed Baggy Recovery : )

LOVIN IT! : ) So glad people are enjoying my letter…that rocks!: )
It definitely does a GREAT job of getting my mind off of my frustrations and pain…Being able to redirect all of that energy, focus on the bag & turn it into something positive, has been a HUGE help…I love smiling WAY too much to allow a little thing like hip surgery to keep me down: )
I did a bit of decorating last night: )...painted “Speed Baggy Recovery” on my platform: )
I’ll be putting some pictures and videos up as soon as I can.
Brian…You’re AWESOME!

Welcome to the Forum and speed baggering!!

Jewellz,

It's so great that you reached out to Brian and he introduced you to the forum. One cool dude!! such youthful enthusiasm!! A bunch of us met up at Real Gymm in Keyport NJ last June and bagged for three days straight. Your boredom should be over soon, what with reading up on this forum and watching some great speed bag videos here and on you tube. Also check out Speedbagcentral.com (links found on Alan's post). He's pretty much our guru, mentor God and other titles he shies away from. He produced the Speed Bag Bible and DVDs. There are to many great people on this forum to mention, mostly everyone!! Say Hi to Tim the administrator, a great bagger and friend. I'm still discovering new things on this forum. Speedy bag recovery, you've got a great support group here!
