I just wasted 4 minutes of my life, I want that back
Common term for a throwing stick used for hunting is a rabbit stick. Only one I have any understanding of anyway.
WIRED captain America 🙃?

This guy is really articulate. He did a great job catching my interest in something that I had never really thought about before. Great video.
well said! I've got the same impression
"catching" hehehehehehehe
bubblisimo they have to get articulate, because at the end of the day they are just throwing a boomerang vertically..
So that their sport doesn’t completely die
That's what I was just thinking after I finished this video
"Sometimes the ugliest boomerangs fly the best"
I felt that
Felt that in my soul.
Same
Felt that in my loins.
I think I _AM_ an ugly boomerang.
Ryan Corrigan it’s ok. You probably fly better thank those nice pretty boomerangs
This guy's passion is so noticeable. He has been doing it his whole life and still has so much passion for it. That's awesome.
and it's just a bent stick that goes in a circle when you throw it. heh
@@geometricart7851 and your just a hater.
@@geometricart7851 and football is just a bunch of men chasing eachother with a ball. You can make anything sound dumb if you word it like that
Boomerangs are just single player frisbees
That's deep dude...
CHANGE MY MIND
You probably stole those joke so ima yoink
you should add change my mind to that.
Your pfp says a lot
Came for the boomerangs, stayed for his passion for the sport

Just like when I discover Chase Tag championship ahaha

It is fascinating I competed in the Australia Vs America titles way back in the 80s as a school kid.
I still make and throw them.

I met his dad at a party. Super cool guy. Gave me a "roomerang" (I think that was what it's called) an indoor boomerang. Super passionate dude. Who would have known there was so much to know about boomerangs!
ItsMeHammie you can buy those at legacyboomerangs.com!
Hidan prove it
His cousin gave me a doomerang. It’s scary how dangerous it is though.
My mom actually gave me a womberang but it was almost impossible to throw with my underdeveloped hands and now that I’m out I can’t use it anymore =(
His mom gave me a groomerang. It does my hair now and then.
imagine what his dogs go throght on a daily basis.

I actually looked up boomerangs
For some reason I decided to youtube “boomerang” actually.
This guy just makes me wanna make a boomerang and throw it the whole day.
Go for it! It's a ton of fun!
@@Silas_KRN shady marketing, but nice move.
This guy is a perfect combination of proffesional athlete and a science nerd
This guy looks happier than lot of superstars in mainstream sports
That's because he has a hobby and they have a job
I think they are all happy, having the sport u love as Ur job isn't that bad. It's kinda perfect
@@gautamgautamsuresh1218 it's kinda "not perfect" you live in a world where your body is always banged up, you constantly have a stream of younger hungry guys breathing down your neck to try to take your place, you always have to be pushing your body to try to get a better contract and you have to hope you can make enough money to last the rest of your life once one of the kids do take your livelihood
That's because he's happy to finally have a platform, while our nations superstars are held by contract to constantly have cameras pointed in their faces even after devastating losses. You just rarely get to see them in their freetime enjoying the multi-million and sometimes billion dollar lifestyle. 😂
*_Sokka wants to know your location_*
Water magic
Thanks for that man 😄
Duchi yes just yes
How to make ur comment bold font?
This is all I could think about lol
Obviously Sokka’s the best boomerang thrower
I am a expert Urine-bender. I can split my stream into two.
Sokka's boomerang never comes back on it's own, it's the spirits taking pity on him for having to deal with all the benders in the gaang
I was looking for this comment 😏
Im watching avatar right now too 😂😂😂
Mhmm
3:01 meh mediocre forearm for a boomerang thrower
3:06 *i take that back*
He beats his meat a lot
The Saiya all it takes is one strong stroke for him
This guy would be an amazing baseball pitcher I would imagine.
Right
He plays pitcher and umpire.
He would be a better goalie
No, he would be in MLB making millions instead of throwing boomerangs for nothing.
Too small.
this guy is exactly who i would expect to be on a boomerang team.
Logan broadbent: *THROWS BOOMERANG WONDERFULLY*
Me: GIVE THIS MAN A SHIELD!
JK this is the best comment ever
Andrew Webster well thank you!
Username checksout...
could he make a boomerang that has the mirage look of cap's shield in flight?
This is the only video I'll ever watch that uses the words "boomerang technology" in any sentence.

i was looking for the sokka comment
huh?
Ladies, find a guy who talks about you the way this guy talks about Boomerangs
TheHolyLoaf no
@TheHolyLoaf No, it's called being passionate about his sport.
TheHolyLoaf
ITS A JOOOOOOOKE
Dear god did I have to point that out?
Why not guys...
@TheHolyLoaf They always were
I like the idea of boomerang throwers develop their own tech. We need more sports that allow players to engineer their own equipment.
What baseball players with corked bats, under inflated footballs scuffing shoes for better ball contact, electric motors hidden in bicycle frames and of course performance inhancing methods(dopers). Plenty of people use this but its cheating to get around the rules same concept though.
man this guy's passion makes me wanna learn about the sport even more
Right there almost nothing better than people talking about what they love
Fun Fact: The oldest boomerang found was in Olazowa Cave in Poland. Made out of a Mammoth tusk, it is has been dated to be about 30,000 years old.
@Joseph Benesch how is it not a sport.....

unlike bowling. LMAO
Hmm I wonder if he is?
It’s almost like we’re not watching an interview of him talking about being one???
I thought that the thumbnail was a guy yeeting a snake!
Saw a snake : *YEET*
HAHAHAHAH
You gave me a smile I can't wipe off my face..
Jeff Ron
Aw:)
his passion and genuine appreciation/knowledge of the sport makes this video so enjoyable to watch. well done! and i hope he’s continuing to do what he loves
Probably one of the few sports where the pro's actually make their own sporting equipment
I love the idea of pros making or heavily modifying equipment to their liking.
First:yeeettt
Second:wait for the boomarang to come back (this will be long enough to think about your life decisions)
last:catch
Mr Smiley
Yeet: to throw a object at a high velocity
YEET!!!
Yeet and yoink
The metaphore for me would be "Throw good out, it'll hit you in the face when it returns" and "What goes around, will hit you in the face."
Hahaha I've had those days.

Good job Logan :)
I really like this guy, he seems so genuine :)
I really like this guy - extremely positive and a fantastic advocate for the sport. Great video!
What I love most about sport is that you could make pretty much anything into a competitive sport. I would have never thought about boomerangs being a sport, but it looks awesome.
I just love the way how cool the boomerang sounds when it was thrown away
GET THIS MAN A SHIELD
This dude travels, is intelligent, articulate, a craftsman, looks ripped, has multi-sport athleticism, a world-class title, and now a youtube interview with over 2mil views. This dude has way more game than most guys.

it will fall down due to gravity

I threw a boomerang when I was 6 and it never came back..

I’ve learned.
Of why my boomerang always hit the ground instead of flying 🤣🤣
This vid is actually rly cool tho
It’s really interesting seeing someone so passionate about something most us don’t really see or think about, unlike cars or motorcycles. Pretty cool bro 😎
You sure, his nickname isn't *Captain Boomerang?*

An amazing ambassador. Logan's encouragement to my son has been phenomenal. He has become our mentor and guide in starting our own boomerang club. (check us out on facebook- Brockville Boomerang Club) A true inspiration!
Does everyone in the comments know this guy in person or something?
Dude, that is awesome! Take some credit you too, helping your son that much. keep it up!
Haha. That speaks to Logan's power and passion. And in turn we mention his name every day to people coming up to us asking about boomerangs. A little symbiosis.
There is a boomerang club?
Lol cool. Kinda nerdy but cool I guess.

Bảo Đinh Ngọc completely different my brotha lol
Conrad Schleicher that was me in DP too 😁. I do a lot of TH-cam videos 👍🏼
This is a fantastic video that introduces the sport . What is not shown or explained in this video is that there are easy casual boomerangs for young children and casual average joe throwers. Boomerangs made for slow returns , boomerangs made for kids that fly under 10mph . This video talks of the pros doing 60-80 MPH throws which seems scary or unatainable to an average person. Both Logan and his Dad make easy boomerangs for kids.
I’ve watched this already but something keeps bringing me back
Maybe it would go over someone's head. Lol
6:20 shoutout to Dude Perfect!
I didn’t even know that boomerangs were real until now....
It's a ton of fun, you should try it out one day
You should buy one
Smh
This was pretty spectacular. I really didn't know we had a Boomerang team and I loved how truly passionate he is about it
Not only he learned boomerang but also he learns acrobatics, WOW LIKE I CANT DO BOTH OF THOSE I SAID FANTASTIC!
All of the trick catches sounded a lot cooler then they actually looked.
