Re: [Boomerang_Talk] Burwell exhibition throwing

Good Day BOB,
 
Am I glad to hear that even the masters have bad days too, and I thought it was only me. LOL
There are days when nothing works right. trying to give a demo and not having the booms fly the way their supposed to is a real embarrassing moment.
 
Thanks again for the helping words. I would have liked to see that stairclimber. In front of that many VIP's I don't think I could have made one good throw.
 
Keep the posts coming, I for one enjoy reading them. Thank you.

Good Day Art.

            In 1982 my most memorable miss throw, resulted with a, “ground run” then a “small Stairway climb” ending with a hallway run inside a historic house called “Ormiston House”.

I was invited to demonstrate boomerang throwing for a large group of VIP international visitors. There were prime ministers wives, president’s wives, diplomats, and many others. It was a sideshow during the “Commonwealth Games “ in Brisbane. Like a mini Olympics.

Quick as a flash I announced, “that the first throw was to show that all boomerangs do not always come back.”

So much for throwing in a very confined place, without any warm up.

I have thrown in numerous unusual places, and sometimes have just said, “NO WAY” to doing an exhibition.

Hey Bob,

Glenn isn't the only one to accidentally bounce a boom off the ground and have it return Surprised the heck out of me the first time I did it. Never tried it on purpose though. Good luck with that, I'd probably bury it in the dirt. I think more people than want to admit it have bounced one or two.

Please keep up the great posts. We're still learning and you posts do help. At least I hope we're still learning.
