- John Cryderman (of Chatham, Ontario, Canada) is known for crafting strip laminated and Birch plywood boomerangs. Some of his boomerangs are duplicated from Al Gerhards models but Cryderman's long line of unique models outnumbers his borrowed designs.

This boomerang is a design borrowed from Al Gerhards. The blades are shorter like the ones that were made by Al Gerhards in the seventies.
It's strip laminated out of Canadian Walnut.
Who is Al Gerhards?
Al Gerhards is a pioneer of strip laminated boomerangs from Pennsylvania, USA. He once held the unofficial Long Distance record with the hooks he made called the White Lightning. He was also known for other smaller models called the "Standard Hook" and "Standard Omega". He was very active in the seventies and eighties.

Did not think it was going to come back!!!
Thank you for watching!
They always come back.
Lol none of my ex's did
It's not like my wife then. It infact did eventually come back.
It will never stop impressing me when someone can throw a boomerang and catch it.
Thanks!
@@sergepaulin9243 Me neither! That is like the beginning of magic.
Its actually not that hard, we were taught in school at about age 8 nearly everyone could do it, many kids from Australia learnt this.
Same here
Wow, boomerangs are cooler in real life than i thought
you never expect them to actually come back, and then they do!
Thank you for watching!
That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us
Thank you for watching!
This the very first time a see a boomerang toss.
I am floored!
AMAZING!!!
Boomerangs are one of the wilding things of physics. They make no sense visually and it's always entertaining to watch a good throw.
Remember my primary school teacher sent one on to the roof which was about 20ft up and 50ft away. Definitely my favorite invention of ancient indigenous Australian peoples, the sharpened edge meant it doubled as a knife.
Thank you for watching!
Cool beans.
Thank for watching!
PUNSTER MCPUNSTEIN IS IN!!!
Beans that are cool!
Awsome sauce
Agreed cool beans.
No joke thats the biggest boomerang i have ever seen, very cool to see it coming back.
The coolest short I’ve seen today 👍
Thank you for watching!
A well-loved boomerang will always come back.
Finally I see it happen outside of video games and cartoons!
I think this is the first time I've actually seen a real life boomerang being used
Thank you for watching!
Those things have always fascinated me, I just don’t understand how they actually return! Nice video thank you for posting.
Thanks for watching!
One side is flat, the other side is curved. Like a planes wing. Air rushes past both sides as it slices through the air. However, the air going along the curved side has to take a longer path compared to the air rushing across the flat side. Due to physics, the air rushing across the curved side creates a lower pressure, while air rushing past the flat side creates a higher pressure. This makes the boomerang/wing/etc want to move in the direction the curved side is facing. In the case of a wing, that makes it lift upward. In the case of a boomerang, the curved part is facing to the side which makes it fly in an arc.
When thrown such that the wings are in a more or less vertical plane, the wing at the top moves faster than the wing at the bottom as the whole thing moves forward, thus it generates more lift at the top. This imparts a rotation of the spinning plane that is translated 90 degrees due to the inertia of mass at the front of the "disk", the mass at the end of the wing at the front of the disk wants to keep moving down while the extra lift at the top wants to rotate the plane so it's not vertical any more. That downward force that is now slightly rotated gets split such that some of the force pushes the front of the disk left, accomplishing the turn.
Makes me think about my childhood, making wooden boommerangs and throw and catch them, Some made two circles.
Al Gerhards also created the "Big Al Hook", the mother of all long distance boomerangs... Al Gerhards also was the first to throw 100 yards in the 70ies...
I really appreciate his models. They are true classics.
WOW !! Impressive - a release and then catch !!
And that's how you do it... straight to the action!
the sound did it for me
My friends and used to make boomerangs from a book of planes. They are fun to make and fly.
"Gerhard's Big U" sounds like the name of a soulsborne weapon
Dude! That was awesome! 🤙
Thanks!!
Did anyone else watch this like 5 times in a row?
majestic 😊👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Reminded me of Tony slater on the Severn pitches in Shrewsbury Shropshire UK. If anyone knew him ,Rip Tony gone but not forgotten.
The sound when you throw it is amazing! You need a mic closer so we can hear it better
Thank you for watching!
So cool, I used to love to throw the Aero Disc frisbees that go really far, not so fun if your by yourself though retreiving them lol.
Yes, this is what I used in pre-hardmode games.
Great job 👏
i never thought a boomerang coming back is real, now i believe
Honestly wasn’t expecting it to stop that smoothly when you caught it, thought you was gonna topple
Super cool 🪃🪃🪃
Smooth
Thank you!
We could never invent something like a boomerang these days...
jak kocha to wróci ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s the kind of gift you can’t throw away.
I never saw one actually work! 👍
Thank you for watching
That flick sound means a good throw!
How the heck did our ancestor's figure this one out boggles the mind.
Nice job. I have nearly caught one I've thrown, but never succeeded. Comedian Milton Jones: "The Australian aboriginal word for 'return' is 'boo', because when you throw a normal meringue..."
Thank you! I heard that one before.
The first time I threw a boomerang was in the early 90s... My dad bought me one at a Lil tourist gift shop. I didn't expect it to really come back to me but it did! Lil cheap boomerang.
I watched the whole video
That looks fun
Very cool 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
He didn't even seem to throw it very hard , it went a long way , and right back into his hands !
I do wonder how many takes it took though , but amazing nonetheless !
Great clouds
I`m satisfied!
Uau! Ele foi por trás das nuvens?
Mad Max!!!
It's magic!
Skill. Making it, throwing it.
Amazing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Gave me Mad Max vibes

Wow, interesting how it maintains forward velocity .
Indeed! Great boom!
Yo! That was neat
Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!

This video is Sokka approved
this thing looks like if you dont catch it when it returns your head would get sliced clean off.
Hehe! You have to be careful. Thank you for watching!
THOUGHT THE THUMBNAIL WAS SOMETHING ELSE 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I WANT ONE!!!! 👍
When I think of the skill involved in working out how the thing is going to behave at a given throw and kill an emu or kangaroo , respect level for the aborigines skyrockets 💪💯Those guys knew how to catch their tucker
It’s a real skill cause when I through a boomerang it just kept going straight 😂😂
he threw it without fear of losing it. thats something i cant do

I wonder if the first person to make one threw it and hit his own self not knowing it was coming back 😂
How one catch it without getting hurt?
This is why I pay my Internet 😊
Did it go all the way around the world?
I saw the thumbnail and thought drake was in the video
Cool boomerang tho
wowowow...
00:00 drake
Awesome video. Can I buy one ?
I don't sell boomerangs. Thank you for watching.
how does it know where to come back to??
You have to adjust your throw according to the wind.
Man I was scrolling fast so I only saw the thumbnail for a split second and thought THAT WAS NOT A BOOMERANG, ngl I was asking how can it be this big when it's flaccid until I scrolled back up to check again
Way cool
Thank you for watching!
