    Balazs i-Box Platform buy in Europe??

    Hello

    I'm from Spain... Anyone know a store in Europe to buy the Balazs i-Box Speed ​​Bag Platform??

    I am desperate to buy it but shipping costs are very high if you buy it in the U.S.

    Also, is possible still buy the Powermill Evils Swivel?? Is compatible with this platform?

    Thanks... and if is possible send me private message someone who speaks Spanish to help me.

    Regards,

    Miguel.

    Hello!

    Not sure if they sell balazs products in Spain. I couldn't find it in Korea, so i've got mine through Amazon.com ( Balazs Non-Adjustable). The shipping plus tax was ridiculously insane. i guess you have to deal with that issue. If you really want it ~then it'd be worth it. i'm glad without any regrets.
    You can order Powermill swivel from 'Jump cannon' He makes them. Send him a message or e-mail. You can find him in this place.^!^

      Thanks Nah for your words. I think that is very expensive the shipping to Europe of this platform balazs.

      Anyone know other platform that work good, without vibrations... in Europe is possible buy Lonsdale, Exigo, Reebok, Everlast...

      I need one good friend that speak spanish for help me in buy the plataform, and swivel.

      Thanks a Lot.

        Hello neverfinish and welcome. Have you considered building something rather than buying it? Take a look at the forum and you will see many examples of homemade drums. You could put something solid together for probably less than the shipping. Good luck and have fun.

          Yes is a good option... Do you recommend some homemade drum?? I search any example easy and without vibrations.

          Regards and many thanks for help me.

                  Absolutely. Any speed bag or exercise based wall unit is only as good as the wall it is attached to - and how it is attached to it.

                    Great Job Florian... my problem is that I don't have the knowledge nor the tools to do that platform. Looks good as it is adjustable in height. I would like to know how you solved this system, because in the photos are not very well appreciated regulation system.

                    Also if you can tell me what kind of wood did you use and what thickness is.

                    Thanks and regards.

                      its just the same piece of steel behind but a little bit smaller you have to drill holes in there and cut a screw thread in there . i used german oak and in the middle is walnut

                        I get it ... very ingenious system. I want to ask a professional iron in my city to see if I can manufacture this system.

                        Thank you for your information and a greeting.
