Isn't durahide vinyl? If so, I'll pass, especially given that Everlast seems to be producing CRAP lately. When are they going to understand that many people will gladly pay more for good quality?!

Are you listening Mr. Gollom? I know you're no longer part of Everlasr, but we want those Kangaroo bags!!!!!!

I noticed that Adidas jumped into the boxing equipment arena. I'd like to try one of those, but I've just bought a few of the old school ringside bags off of ebay. () and I'm spending a bundle on some new stuff from australia.

probably the smallest size they could use to add the graphics. Somehow I think the graphics had to a certain size for the licensing, and it wouldn't fit on a smaller bag.

..just a guess, though. I saw someone hitting the Ireland bag and it looks pretty cool. I bet the USA bag will sell very well - overseas. last time I saw the news, there seems to be a lot of people in other countries that would like to take a "punch" at us.

Hmmm. Maybe there is something to this that I'm not considering.... But they don't currently make the countries I wouldn't mind "working out" with...

You got that right. I think most of us are: Live and let live, but as the Jack Nicholson said in Batman: "The world needs and enema..."

Could it be "political -'overrated'-correctness" run amok?

Remember when they used to make urinal targets with certain people's faces printed on them? You sure don't see those anymore!

really?

come to Texas.

[Chris M]

Hmm. Never thought about that, it's probably because of where I live. The town where I've lived for the past 8 years has a very huge international corporation which employs approximately 20,000 people, or about 20% of the population. The rest of the town is dominated by two universities so you don't see stuff like that here.

This town is very different from what I'm used to. I grew up in a small southern town and there was no such thing as political correctness and if you offended someone, you simply took it to the parking lot and settled it.

In Texas we take it to the Urinal.

Hi SpeedBag

Just wondering what you got from Australia and where you got it from. I live in Sydney and would like to get some of the gear your using.
Hey, what the heck, if you, or anyone else ever need any speed bag/boxing gear from Australia I would only be to happy to help you out. Having said that, I also would like to know if there is someone there in the States that could help me out with some purchases, such as swivels and speed bags. I only ask because I have recently had some trouble trying to get my hands on the 'Speed Bag Bibble' book and DVD, which i had purchased from Amber Sports which I located on 'Speed Bag Central'. I paid for these items over 2 months ago and still have not yet received them.
I'm thinking surely there must be a quicker way...
