Speed Bag Genie!

[spinsmashpop]

Howdy....
Say hello to my little friend... the Speed Bag Genie! I was informed that the Speed Bag Truck was miles away from the Foreigner show in Atlantic City. I still set up the platform in hopes of finding a wall to screw it into...
No luck, but we did find a Genie manlift! We cable tied and duct taped it up.
That was good enough for me to get an hour of baggin' in!
BAG ON!
I am cracking up as I look at the first picture I posted.... It looks like the most manly speed bag platform ever! All that weight, mass, density, steel and metal for nice little white speed bag! Haha...
Anyhow....
I talked to the Speed Bag Skunk the other day! Great guy..funny guy! He and Tim are cruising to the Orlando show! Looking super-forward to meeting them, checking out Tim's "cage" and bagging with him, and also getting a speed bag tsunami in my face from The Skunk! Yeehaw!

Your creativity almost matches your addiction to the bag! You roll through my neighborhood at the end of the month. Hope the tour is going well.

that would be the coolest lift to use at work; get your 15 minute break bagging. also good way to eat up time on that mandatory one hour lunch. so sick.

[Speedbag]

Man, that's a trip! You were smokin' that puppy, but I noticed it was really rockin' and rollin' with Side Double Punches. You handled it well, and great ingenuity to make a platform out of that. Better bring your camera to film the Skunker, so you can watch it back in slow motion.

See ya in Detroit, if all goes well.

Yes, it's going to be a great time, no doubt about that :)

Yeah, totally....

Thanks AK! I have to give cred to our Asst. Tr. Mgr., Eric, for putting taking notice and putting it together. I was ready to give up. But, not entirely.... I was already working on my "wall baggin". I let the platform rest on its side as if the bag was attached straight to a wall. Kind of like the old schoolers were doing in the early 1900's. I forgot to film it when we found the Genie. But it was kind of fun and looked cool.

Good job macgyver. :) That looks very solid.

It was solid enough with the exception of side punches when it would weeble wobble....
See ya soon!

spinsmashpop,

The name does not have a cool meaning. I wish it did. I just brought it over from the mercedes forum. My 3 year old used to try to say daddy's mercedes but it end up dicecedes.

I like in Elk Grove CA which is about 10 minutes from Sac and Lodi.

I'll shoot you a pm when the show gets closer. Would love to see the truck in person. I need a good month of baggin' to be worthy though. Still pretty much a beginner.

I think that's pretty cool, using the name devised by your three year old.

I'm gonna take a stab at saying it don't work like that. Not speaking for SMP, but the only requirement I've seen needed to get "in the speed bag truck" is to have baggin' in your heart, not the amount of skill in your hands. The times I've been in the truck, we had roadies, back stage guests, passerby's and a few folks who "heard the cool sound coming from the truck" all got to step in and take a few swings. The energy in the area is usually pretty electric and everyone has been in good moods. As a beginner, SMP will be able to teach you a few things also. He's moving his hands all around the bag very nicely and understands how it works. You will be amazed at how fast you will learn when you experience it "live", instead of on video. Hope you get to hook up at the show.

Dicecedes, that name is great. It has a real meaning and story behind it.
We had a crow named Sadie that the kids as 1-2 year olds would simply call "Dee Dee". Well that became her name.
The sign on the truck says "All Baggers Welcome". I think anyone that is into bagging enough to own one or join the forum is interesting. This ain't no fad. We are all interested in this bag thing and we dedicate time to it that most don't. We could stay on line longer, or do a million other things, but we gotta bag!
See you soon at the Speed Bag Truck!

Speedbag is right. People dig checking it out and giving it a try. The only problem is that I don't have 2 platforms up. But now, our crew has a bigger truck ( a semi) with more room and we can leave the platform and bag up 24/7! BAG ON!

I guess the old saying, "Necessity is the mother of invention", certainly applies in your case. You really are addicted.

I talked to the Speed Bag Skunk the other day! Great guy..funny guy! He and Tim are cruising to the Orlando show! Looking super-forward to meeting them, checking out Tim's "cage" and bagging with him, and also getting a speed bag tsunami in my face from The Skunk! Yeehaw!

Tim's a great guy and his cage has it all, a great bagging workout spot.

Will Zach make it to Tim's, or is he meeting you at the HOB?

Make sure someone takes some video of the 3 of you bangin' on the bag.

Hey Bif.. don't know if Skunk will make Tim's... we'll see what time he gets to town...
We will video....
And....today at the gig... Jordan (a member here) and his buds Josh and Ashley came down and we hung around the bag for hours...got some vid and pics....It was at a fair in Columbus, Ohio. There were lots of police around. one officer came up through the backstage and saw us baggin. He made some comment I couldn't here and then I offered to let him give it a punch. He had the basic FCP together pretty good. He watched for a sec then split. I told him to come back. It was cool anyhow.....
Most dudes walking around usually stop and check it out. I of course will offer a chance to anyone interested as I wish I myself had that offer when I didn't know what I was doing....
BAG ON!

[Jordan]

I will call him this weekend and try to firm things up (very busy with work right now).

One way or the other there will be video... :)

I can take HD with my new Canon camera.

Man I hope we can get a complete set of pictures of all members that have been "IN" the Truck or Baggin' with you on tour. Maybe Tim could add section in the Gold Mine of "the year of the Truck" and we could put pictures of you with everyone in the truck. Won't be long you will have known/met more onliners here than any of us. That would be cool. Maybe get some autographed bags to keep for posterity, 'cause when you start rippin' it on stage it's gonna be legendary.

We can definitely do that ... cool idea.
