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 🙃?
Keiner mag Schlaumeier
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
"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
This was a world that I never knew existed, but am now totally fascinated by.
Ok
Just like when I discover Chase Tag championship ahaha
@@DragonicOverlord ok
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.
@@steghuman9063 that's awesome. Just might pick up this hobby with the kids. Thanks
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
Came for the boomerangs, stayed for his passion for the sport
I would like this comment, but, ye know the 69 meme...
@@cjwessels8612 well you can now
@@nodnarb3772 right i did
I kno his gf lol. I made fun of her.
The title attracted my attention.
imagine what his dogs go throght on a daily basis.
lmao
This Made my das thanks you😂
Probably like: you don’t need me anymore to play fetch :’(
I'm the 420th like

But most importantly
His Boomerang Comes Bacc

Yup ... i once throwed a boomerang then woke up in a hospital...😴🤕🤕☹
His boomerang always come bacc
@@GibberishGamer
*Sometimes He misses Too*
@@peacebro9859 does he tho
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.
this guy is exactly who i would expect to be on a boomerang team.
Him: “theres really no wrong way to throw it”
Me: *throws it into a tree*
Have you got it back yet?
Oh how the recommendations have brought us together again my friends
agreed
Agreed
ICEE tv lol jk I couldn't be that mean
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!
@@snuskenmaxi shady marketing, but nice move.
This guy is basically a human Jack Russell Terrier. How do people have this much energy without cocaine?
He high on life
Adderall
Who said there was no cocaine?
untreated ADHD.
Proper sleeping pattern and diet
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.
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. 😂
This is the only video I'll ever watch that uses the words "boomerang technology" in any sentence.
th-cam.com/video/lZaJlXBoJmM/w-d-xo.html
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
The title was so long when it was in my notification , it just says “ How this guy became the world champion boomer.....”
*_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
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.
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.
he looks and talks like someone who is a world champion boomerang thrower
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???
1:24
I didn’t know Trevor was in the boomerang team
lol I was about to comment that but I needed to make sure I wasn't gonna "COPY" someone bc that's what kid say when there are so many people that say u copied one of like millions of people so I just won't comment it to be safe
good catch..
Which trevor

Logan broadbent: *THROWS BOOMERANG WONDERFULLY*

This comment is too underrated
AAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!
I saw this comment...scrolled down and read about 20 more comments, and then I got the joke and busted out laughing lol
Dude i was in a coffee shop while reading this
Now I'm scarred for life •́ ‿ ,•̀
But the funniest joke I've heard this year
I just love the way how cool the boomerang sounds when it was thrown away
3:01 meh mediocre forearm for a boomerang thrower

Wth I saw you somewhere before
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
Love the transmission of a passion between a father and his son

Yeah he's the best boomerang man because

i was looking for the sokka comment
huh?
Love his energy. He's easy to follow and he's good at keeping my attention.
This guy and his hobby are freakin awesome… I want to get into boomerang throwing now for fun.
I feel like this man's voice is forever young
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.....
@Joseph Benesch It's competitive=it's a sport.
logan: "it needs gyroscopic precession, differential lifts, cenrtifugal force, momen..."
Me: "JUST THROW IT MAN"
Me: "Explain the physics!"
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 😎
The reason I respect him is because his boomerang comes back
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:)
I love that this guy is so geeked out on boomerangs.
I love how he's just the biggest nerd about his sport lol. I love this guy!
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.
GET THIS MAN A SHIELD
All of the trick catches sounded a lot cooler then they actually looked.
This guy is so into what he’s talking about that I lowkey wanna try it
I feel like if he decided not to catch his boomerang it would just orbit around him ominously.
Lmfaoo it'd get in fuckin orbit
it will fall down due to gravity
R /whoosh
@@somebody8676 r/gravity
I love how this video is extremely detailed on everything about the sport.. and the actual boomerang.. most channels would probably put out a 3 minute video, this was very cool and educational 👍
I just aquired 2 Australian returning boomerangs. Looking forward to learning this skill!! Thanks for the video!
This was very fun to watch! Thanks!
Good job Logan :)
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
So cool to see & learn things we never knew? Great video!
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
Sokka:
Hold my beer.
*throws boomerang, nevers comes back*
Me: Okay, my recommendations cannot get any more diverse at 3AM
TH-cam: *hold my boomerang*
if this guy ever decided to take up being a super villain no one would be able to stop him
When your parents told you to go and play outside when you were 10... but you took it WAY too far.
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.
“There’s literally no wrong way to do it” This lad never see me dig holes throwing boomerang
What a wholesome guy
Some my friend say Boomerang sport it like archery except you target is yourself 👌

Always found boomerangs interesting when I was a kid, now I know I was flying the thing wrong! Thanks, cool video
This is sincerely the most impressive thing I have ever seen.
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.
Doing tricks on it
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
He's like a mastermind in this boomerang field
This feels like the perfect balance of both physical and intellectual strength in one sport
He has an amazing personality. It made this video so much better.
I’m shook by just how much this was informative and entertaining to watch
Thank you!!!
Master Wayne?
Oh there you are ,your cup of coffee is ready.
I gotta commend this guy, he understands the in’s and out’s of the sport right down to the history of the boomerang and the science behind it.
It's always good to see people doing their job greatly with passion
what a neat sound those make, i wish i could throw one.
In middle school shop class/industrial arts/wood & metalwork class (whatever it's called in english) we got it in our heads to make boomerangs that would actually return to us. It was really cool to slowly fine-tune the shape of the wood, sanding the edges and refining the shape until we got them to return. I've still got mine, an orange and black one on my wall
Sokka would be proud of this guy
This guy is truly remarkable. Respect.
6:26
Who noticed the dude perfect sign
Awesome Video!
Thank you
I’ve watched this already but something keeps bringing me back
Maybe it would go over someone's head. Lol
i expected he was going to show off his vibranium boomerang
I broke my neighbour’s bathroom window every single time I brought it out
How proud must this guy's dad be
This guy has mastered his craft so much it’s crazy
I really appreciate it! Thanks for the love.
this guy is so skilled in such a specific thing.
That's some impressive stuff! The engineering and math behind all that is not simple. Combining aerodynamics with gyroscopic rotation sounds like a nightmare to calculate
funny to see that, my father used to be part of the France team. I still have those boomerang in my garage, and they look exactly the same ^^
This man should’ve been Captain Boomerang in Suicide Squad
Eiichiro Oda shouldn’t u be messing with ppl in kingoflighting or supermechafrieza’s comment sections?
