what swivel do you use buddy? nice vids btw, ur pretty sick on the bag :)

[SpeedBagSkunk]

i enjoy the plastic ball hook swivel and the metal ball hook swivel. those are what u see me hittin a lot of times but i believe the heavy duty pro swivel with the u hook can go faster with a basic hit, but to do a lot of different punches the bag is able to move better with the ball hook swivels, thats for watchin:)

[SupergeZ]

awesome, what bags do you use?

i want to replace my swivel on my new setup for a metal ball hook, the 1 i have atm doesnt like doing any other direstion then back and forth in a straight line and its pretty slow :( i want one that gives me a little versatility and that moves at the speed i wana hit it at!

will post a video of my nooby skills later on for you guys to laugh at! :) altho after only a days practice im successfully incorperating elbows into my rhythems! woop woop!

I was wondering where you had been..... there's a couple of posts I was expecting to see you on.... ie "Advanced combos...." just to keep up the lighthearted banter on here.... ;) - I guess you will get to them soon....

AMAZING that double baggin was unreal

[SpeedBagSkunk]

I will not be posting anymore combo breakers as i call them because every time i do something someone else has done i get hated on and they get really pissy and call me a show off, so i figure i dont need that crap. I hit the bag for fun and i enjoy my hittin too much to try and over come anyone. Im not hitting the bag to be the best im hitting the bag because i enjoy doing it! The bags i use are all extra small title bags. or extra small everlast. have not found any others that are smaller.

[SpeedBagSkunk]

thank you for all watchin

Actually, here is some early footage of Gus Keller, 1903 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyuF4b3NOyI). Three bags at 1m32sec for a few seconds.

Multiple bag punching was sometimes seen in various bag punching vaudeville acts. It's really pretty cool to watch and a lot harder than it looks.

Skunks 4-bag unit is really ingenious. Give the guy a break, he's hitting one bag better than most, and trying to expand his ability to do more. Along the way he is getting smoother, faster and his swinging motions are getting much more efficient. Both he and Billymack have done some combinations I've never thought of, and they do them easily. I haven't seen anyone else do them either. I personally don't care if someone's video's show them doing "the same old thing". If it's done well, I enjoy watching it and appreciate the skill it takes to keep it going non-stop for 3-4 minutes or more.

Skunk -

I like the videos- the one with your girl is pretty cool.... looks like you guys get along well....gotta admire that.
I also like the black paint on the walls of your room - did you move since your first videos ? no paneling in that one - or did you convince your girl to put up a platform in her room ?

anyway the hitting is excellent as always !! keep posting the videos... you and Billy, Alan, and Tim, Chris give us newbies something to look up to....

[SpeedBagSkunk]

thanks for checkin out the videos everyone. This is not a compatition for me if it was i know alan kahn has it in the bag. in my opinion. And yeah me and my chicky get along great and funny that she is startin to enjoy the speed bag just like me so it makes for a great partnership. And just like u said we give new comers somthing to look up to and that is probly the coolest thing. to be able to show beginner speed baggers the different styles and different punches u can do on the bag. I get questions and copmments everyday that need answers and i love that people want me to answer them:)

It’s too bad you aren’t mature enough to handle a little friendly competition. You have tons of talent but you are so blinded by your own ego that you are your own worst enemy. If you don’t come up with something first then your first reaction is to knock it, or make up some excuse or reason why you can’t do it or don’t “need” to do it. Instead, you should just say “good job”.

I know I wasn’t the first to hit 2 bags – I don’t care. But your reaction was “you should learn to hit 1 before trying 2”. Then you turn around and build some contraption with 4 bags. Not a competition, eh? More like now that you have some competition it’s no fun for you anymore.

I’m here because I was inspired by Alan Kahn; not only because of his talent on the bag but ALSO because he is so generous with his time and resources. Alan takes the time to answer every post with a detailed explanation or answer. That’s the kind of person I want to be – knowledgeable AND helpful.

ok I'll moderate....

Billy - you have valid points. but you hold a grudge too long.... by attacking this post you perpetuate the behavior. Lead by example.
Skunk - no ego needed, no offense, but Billy is right - likewise you do not need an ego, your hitting videos more than tell the story

so let's put it all aside and start fresh. :o

Guys - I don't have the time or inclination to baby sit grown adults.

My rule of thumb is "if you don't have something nice to say keep it to yourself"
