    Another new guy

    Hey folks,

    I must have thought about getting a speed bag hundreds of times over the years but finally got it done. I just got my home made platform setup in my garage last weekend and I seem to already be on my way to a new addiction.

    I’ve emailed Alan about a copy of the Speed Bag Bible and really look forward to getting it. In the mean time I’m enjoying reading through all the posts on here and learning a lot. Who knew there was so much to learn!

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Welcome to one of the Coolest and Fun Hobbies on earth! You found the right place here on the forum. All of the great baggers are here (some on utube) and you can learn about everything you need to know about speed baggin' (and possibly a few other things). This Speed bag community has some of the coolest, most righteous, stand up quality people you'll ever meet. , It's a challange to really get down these advanced techniques, but you'll just keep getting better with practice, and it'll keep your upper body in shape. So kick back, and get ready to have some serious fun! Bag On!!

        Thanks for the welcome guys. I will do my best to keep you updated and will probably have more than a few questions but so far I seem to be doing ok for the amount of time I have into it.

          Did I answer you?? I've been getting a lot of email lately, and unfortunately have less time to deal with it. Forum members are a priority so let me know if you need anything.

          Ask away. There is a wealth of speed bag knowledge here, from equipment, punching skills, design, fabrication and woodworking, speed bag history.... you name it. Glad to have you here.

                Welcome to the greatest online message board, Steve!

                It's a crazy addiction... I can't seem to get enough time under the board, and lately, the craving for it has been stronger than usual. Probably because I've been away from it for over a week now. It can easily suck you in to its rhythmic grasp.
                But, hey. There are worse things to be addicted to.


                Glad to have another forum member who's from my "neck of the woods."
                Welcome aboard!

                    I hope you can see some of our European members over there. Gotta love it but I know you'll be missing the girls

                    Have a good tour and make it back safe.

                      So I got an hour and 20 minutes of practice in last night before my wife suggested dinner and spending some time with her might be appropriate and another 20 minutes before work this morning.

                      Despite being brand new at this I really don’t think the novelty will be wearing off anytime soon. The speed bag seems to provide me with a perfect balance of challenge, frustration and progress that makes me just want to keep at it every chance I get.


                      Alan,
                      Funds will be in the mail today for my SBB.
