    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 😊.

      +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.

      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.

    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!

      @VictorPoulin  4 года назад +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.

      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.

      I came here for that 5 sec. but still I hit the like button when I first watched it, because it had what the name suggested. I don't know why would anyone come and dislike this knowing what it is about and how long the video is even before clicking.

    When I was about 12 years old, I made a boomerang out of a piece of 3/4" plywood. I had read on how the airfoils were shaped like airplane wings (rounder up front, thinner towards the rear) and I used my Dad's jigsaw and power sander to do the job. It was about 1 foot each from tip to elbow. It was marine plywood, about 12 layers thick and it wasn't light, it must've weighed 2 1/2 pounds. I got on my bike and took it to the park and practiced throwing it. I got the hang of it-I found if I threw it fairly hard and slightly towards the ground, it would make a fairly tight turn and keep about 5 feet off the ground. My best throw of the day was almost a perfect circle back to me-and if I hadn't ducked when this whirling, high speed flying guillotine came right at me, I would have been hurt pretty bad! It was much too heavy to play with, but it would have been great at killing small game.

    I love your passion for boomerangs! It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. I've been interested in boomerangs for a while, but you are the one that finally made me decide to buy one! I bought one similar to your Sunshine boomerang (just more in my price range,) and I totally love it! Thanks for the inspiration, Vic, you're truly a great person.

    Good video bro, I remember another guy has the world's record for the longest boomerang throw, 400 yards.
