UK Platforms

[ukspeedbag]

Well, looks like things ain't looking good for the UK baggers. SportsDirect are no longer stocking the Everlast adjustable platform or the 6x4 speed bags. I just had someone message me about this kit from Argos:

Doesn't look good to me, so I was going to give him the link for SportsDirect.com and couldn't find anything! We're left with SugarRays who stock expensive but crap platforms. They have one that I would consider recommending except the price is way to high.

Iv'e had 2 of those bags from argos vin and their not good, both started to deflate after a week and they split. one of the 6x4 everlast bags i got from sports direct was warped and had to send it back. Only to get a email back a few days later stating there out of stock.. well gutted

I received a warped bag from SportsDirect and sent it back, they changed it okay...........you probably got the same bag!

Thanks for the info on those bags Lee, I told him to steer clear of that set-up, looks cheap and nasty to me including the bag. He's going to knock his own platform up and purchase a bag and swivel separately.

well this is bad news...I have the bag but a shite platform which isn't thick enough. May get some wood and attach it to the top.
