      +Ethan Radd Well prepare to have your mind blown because sinse I posted this video I have made many different boomerang designs and many from video games and movies that really return like the Batarang, the boomerangs used in "legend of Zelda, TY Tasmanian tiger. Also the one used in Road Warrior, and the movie Krull and Avatar. All can be seen here on my youtube channel

      @billmimms Před 8 lety +6

      +Ethan Radd Interesting. Pretty much the same thing happened to me: I just thought about the boomerang. I actually think I was unconsciously singing that song, "My boomerang won't come back," when I decided to read about why/how it came back. From the description, I KNEW that I was probably throwing it wrong in the first place. I never had a nice one, always those plastic, garbage Wham--o things.

    I have to say, that's pretty impressive. I can remember as a child, my father bought me a boomerang. I never had much luck getting it to return. One day I walked out the front door of the house, wound up and sent it flying, it curled around, came right back towards me, then right through the side window of the den. Needless to say my boomerang days were over after that, never saw it again.

    • @VictorPoulin

      Me too. My dad has a boomerang he bought as a teenager from Mudgeeraba Australia and showed me how to use it when I was about 10. I threw it correctly and it returned well and hit me square in the stomach and I started crying. Now I’m in my 30s now and I found his boomerang again. Going to give it another shot, hope I catch it this time.

      I've never thrown a boomerang, but I did throw a frisbee at night once. I threw it straight ahead on a 45º degree angle upwards. It disappeared into the darkness and I lost sight of it. A few seconds later came back along the exact same path about twice as fast as it went up. It hit me in the chest and knocked me over haha. Didn't hurt much, but I was quite surprised.

  • @letsgoupstream6079
    @letsgoupstream6079 Před 3 lety +83

    For people who are wondering... the reason why it is quite easy to catch is because it starts running out of power by the time it reaches you and almost hoovers like a helicopter as it drops down into your arms. The challenge is trying not to throw it too hard and too high/low. It just takes some practice before it works smooth and easy like Vic. We found that having a border collie was very handy for retrieving the ones that go astray 😊.

    This man really gave us the best "how to:" video on throwing boomerangs correctly!
    My late-friend (RIP) owned a boomerang once, but unfortunately for my us, this boomerang experience was abrubtly short-lived...
    When we were 15, we went to a park where we came to this tall, wide blossoming tree and he wanted to see if he could throw his boomerang to go around the tree and come back to him.
    Anyway, that didn't happen...
    Instead, he threw it towards the top of tree which got stuck on top of a birds nest high up and a mere 11 years later, it still remains up there.
    Seeing this video has inspired me to look at getting a boomerang!

      You are very welcome. Little tip is not all boomerang require a small breeze even if they are the same exact design. If one has a small twist or bend that the other does not than it will fly different. Some boomerang need no breeze at all. So basically if it lands out in front of you then yes you need a small breeze.

      "Always thinking about yourself. Get out there
      and stall! And what happened to your arms and
      legs, boy?"
      "The kids are using them as... boomerangs."

      @VictorPoulin  Před 4 lety +16

      Good question, first thing is the boomerang and I go over all the rules. Don't go too far from home and you have to come right back when I tell you to. No flying with other booms that will get you into trouble, and lastly no drinking and flying.
      Just kidding buddy, The boomerang does not actually know where I am but I can somewhat predict where it will end up by how I throw it. The boomerang starts out flying slightly off of vertical. As it goes around it is slowly going into a horizontal position. It turns in flight due to the trail edge. Same idea as an airplane wing when air travels over the top of the wing pushing it down on the opposite edge. You want to throw the boomerang with just enough power to get it back to you. Not too much and not too little.

      Takes a bit of practice but anyone can learn.

    I used to buy boomerangs all the time when I was a kid. Great for playing fetch with the dog. Anyway, I never figured out how to get them to return like that. Thanks for the video. I might just have to try it again 😊

      They are a blast when you get the hang of them. Pretty good chance the ones you bought as a child may not have been made properly.

    I remember coming home from playing a Little League game, walking across the park and stopping to watch this guy throwing a boomerang! It was one of the most incredible sights! This guy, didn't know him, would throw it and it would do AMAZING flights that I haven't seen even today, 65 years later!

      That is so cool. I make several different designs and they all have their own different flights. Maybe you will see something similar in some of my other videos.
