- The British Boomerang society are currently the World Record holders for the largest returning boomerang at 9ft and weighing 1.3 KG. The boomerang was composite construction (carbon fibre). Learn more about this amazing sport at www.boomerangs.org.uk or carbonbooms.co.uk.
Boomerang throwing is an amazing and unusual sport. Throw for fun, and for all ages.
The best Facebook Group for learning all about this fascinating sport is The World of Boomerang

*4:26** best high five ever*
Potatoge XD
he went in for the hug on both of them lol
I declare shenanigans. Should have to return to call it a return.
Shenanigans! Seconded
In Australia, we chuck a 10ft boomerang to catch our breakfast every morning. Pfft!!!
Not just catch it, but it also returns the meal served on a plate and ready to eat.

James May's less successful cousin.
MadMonkey572 yeh
MadMonkey572 hahaha was just thinking that till I saw this comment
James May doesnt have a world record for biggest boomerang....
yeah, James May has a Rolls Royce. What a looser.
Looks like they share a shirt.
1:30 (0__o)
i think just that one part was more amazing then the giant boomerang
they have great background music choice. it really made the event that much more enjoyable
Angel Cedillo stranger things
colton donisthorpe its just synth lol, everyone saying anything with synths is stranger things
I Wear A Fez Now It's not Stranger Things 😂😂😂😂
It's darude sandstorm
Props for them putting Grimes in this video.
i was gonna say... is that grimes????? glad to know someone else noticed.
lol im american. love grimes.
look up genesis n d
@Josip Broz Tito. I said the same thing.
4:25 Its the little things in life. :)
a world record isnt a little thing....how many you got?
My original comment was meant to be endearing. Dont worry guy, I am sure they will let you suck them off, despite you nitpicking at my comment.
I've never had a boomerang come back, Ever lol
Either you're throwing it wrong or it's not shaped properly
JSCRILLA253 I have
@@matthewtones118 or the boomerang just doesn’t like him
Hiraikotsu~~ if you get me, high five!!
Love the Grimes "Genesis" playing at 3:35
"Here is Marty trying to smash.........a boomerang world record"😆😆😂
That old lady almost looks like a guy
I thought she was one
Ture
Wait, that's a woman?
It's not that you've shaped only one side, it's that the advancing blade has more airspeed and lift at 90 degrees to the direction of flight because rotational airspeed and forward velocity airspeed combine together. Opposite on the retreating blade of course.This differential in lift creates a force which through gyroscopic precession, causes the boomerang to pitch instead of roll. Then, when you throw the boomerang at a banked angle the pitching becomes a turning tendency. If you throw a boomerang perfectly horizontal it pitches straight up which illustrates the forces involved. I expect more from a professor. ( Not really) It took me years to figure this all out because of "experts" that repeated completely absurd theories that fall apart under the slightest scrutiny. .
NERD!!!!!
Cool
Funny. Just a day ago I found Phat Planet by Leftfield on Spotify and I really like it. And then when I got a strong desire to see large boomerangs thrown around I find that recognizable beat appears in the first video I find on throwing large boomerangs. 4:10
Small coincidences like that are always amusing.
because of Adam's youth I knew he was stronger.
The music at 4:24 is "Punching in a Dream" by the Naked and Famous. Thank you
I feel like you should have to catch it for it to count as a world record
3:38 wtf, you're just gonna start playing the instrumental for a Genesis by Grimes?
Facts😂
it threw meoff so bad bro
Album cover Alice's stance looks to be the inspiration.
why does his hat have wine bottle corks hanging from it...
jo jim
It's an akubra, duh.
It's to keep Aussie flies from laying eggs in your mouth
metal
I think they're to keep flies away from you face. That's my best guess.
Why doesn't your hat have wine corks hanging from it?
@@notatroll2773 Damn it, clicked in just to say that myself.
They look like top gear impersonators
I thought deadpool was bullshitting about the hat.
Looks like something out of Monster Hunter
nice choice of music for the end
good shit lads, lets keep it up
try the "discus launch" technique... it will give it wayyy more speed
Imagine if this was an old weapon that was acutally used in battle
Sokka wants to know your location
why didnt they just get an Olympic discus or hammer thrower to launch it? like it would save them alot of time and they would probs get a better result
I like the looks of that black boomerang because it looked to be (and was) a real winner
Why do they have music from tv commercials?
Loving the music choice tho
anyone else thinks that it looks like the frame of a house?
Didn't know Mr. Weasley was into boomerangs.
Awesome
I love that ❤😊
"Dr. Hugh Hunt."
That's 2nd in best Australian names *only* to Crocodile Dundee.
Hammer thrower would own this record..
The best part was the awkward handshake/high-five/hug or whatever it was they gave each other after they succeeded!!...
The heat 🔥
What I would like to see is a boomerang hit a rabbit sized target at a distance and if missed come back.
Thought he was going to say "now we're going to go supersayan"
Pretty english with the dark cloudly grey sky
Something is wrong here with the explanation of gyroscopic precision making the boomerang turn. When you spin the wheel forward (clockwise) it turns to the left as seen in the video. Spin it backwards (counterclockwise) and it will spin to the right. Here is where I found an issue. Both right and left handed boomerangs are throw forward in a clockwise direction yet the left handed boomerang flies to the right. Why???
From what I understand both half of the boomerang or blades, act like the wing on an airplane. I may be understanding wrong, but I think like a plane wing the bottom will be flat on one side. So the right hand boomerang when held upright like when getting ready to throw it, will have a flat right side. And the left hand boomerang will have the left hand side flat. The lift is causing the Boomerang to rise to the non flat side.
But don't quote me, when I was a kid me and my dad built one based off the description in a book with no pictures I found in my grandpa's bookshelf. Turns out based on multiple CZcams videos we built it wrong and had the leading edges facing each other. Explains why it never worked right.
@@kylelambert1672 You are correct but gyroscopic precision would cancel it out. Basically it pokes a hole in the theory of what makes a boomerang turn in flight. When I first started building boomerangs I was told this by a few long time builders. Some even wrote books about it. None yet have explained the left handed boomerang turning to the right. This leads me to believe that gyroscopic precision is not what makes the boomerang actually turn in flight but has way more to do with the actual air foils on the wings as you stated.
@@kylelambert1672 Correct my friend. My guess is that it did not want to turn or lift? My first boomerang was made out of a piece of sheet rock lol. I was around 9 years old and knew nothing about them except for the basic shape lol. One throw as it wobbled through the air, hit the ground and snapped in half. That was in 1979.
New weapon type in dark souls 4
someone knows the name of the song that sounds in the second 2:29
that guy at the end lol
this is how big bird was hunted in aincient times
this guy sounds like game theory
What fun!
Video starts at 3:40
Lux Allein thanks
Venus thanks
Arthur Weasley crafts boomerangs
I forgot my boomerang joke, Oh wait... it's coming back
Dude looks like mark twain lol
Or Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin.
that's cool
Like how they have an American length measurement and then a metric weight measurement.
i knew a joke about a boomerang but I forgot it.....
I'm sure it'll come back to me
lol thats awesome
It's a flying engineer's compass!
why dey playing Django Django
thats a W
gyroscopic procession, ahy?
that dude looks like Mr. Weasley
Did he say "Hugh Hunt" 😂😂😂
Should've had Sango throw it. HIRAIKOTSU!!!!!
rikkunaify that's what brong me here. yo to see if it was possible, an what do you know lol.
if Jeremy Clarkson James may and Richard Hammond had a baby , its deff this guy.
Grimes lol
Is that James May on the right at 4:42?
Who is robert plant?
Good music
*TO THE PETERANG!*
one of the weapons planned for monster hunter.imagine killing dragons with boomerangs lol
i met that Whute haired scientist guy!!!!
What's the smallest boomerang
uuuuugh Grimes just listen to oblivion last night
So when u ride a bike if your standing still u will fall over but when u move u stay up right!!!
So for the record, does a human have to be able to throw it? Because you could obviously create a much bigger one given that the physics & aerodynamics wouldn't change much, but the energy required to put it in motion would.
It doesn't really count without a catch - right?
We need a put thrower to try and throw this
guys whats the starting song?
He reminds me of Bilbo Baggins
At least if the boomerang part of it fails the avengers can use it as the A in their name.
Dope
I would have done the special discus spin
THATS GRIMES! thats grimes song in the backgroung, oblivion
At 4:10 the theme song to Beast Machines starts playing.....uhh?
does anyone feel like disliking things with annoying intros?
You know the first boomerang wasn't suppose to came back fun fact 👌
Circular Motion
That's not boomerang, that's a bad joke.
Hiraikotsu!
Why does he have corks on his hat?
The Rockoorang.
He brought in a professional. Houge K.Hunt.
it barely came back, now is that a 'return'
The gyro procession has nothing to do with why he shapes the wings. He shapes the wings to produce lift.
👏👏👏
Let's see if I stumbled upon a snuff video accidentally .
*SAIL*
Boomerang... thats an a frame lol
3:45 is when they throw it.
How tf did I get here
