News From The: USA

In January, I received a call from an excited Stuart Jones who found a new boomerang in a local kite shop. Stuart's comment's were "Good returns in light winds with a 10 metre range". Actually, Stuart's comment's are an understatement! The editor tried this tri-blader (pictured below) and found it to be the best short range boomerang in it's class. It is made out of a polystyrene plastic with camber and dihedral pressed into the blades. This boomerang is a Windsports (Colorado Boomerangs) product called BiRdZ. You can write and ask for a catalog of Windsports products at:

The Winter issue of Many Happy Returns (MHR) was mailed out in February. The major theme for this issue was boomerang construction with plans for three different models and an excellent article by Dr. Fred Malmberg. My favorite article was about Dogs and Cats who catch boomerangs for sport. BN readers can get a one year subscription to MHR by joining the USBA. The dues for USA and Canadian throwers are $15 ($20 overseas). Send your payment in USD, made out to "USBA" to the following address:

Billionaire John W. Kluge donated more than $5,000,000 in Australian Aboriginal Art to the University of Virginia. The university is trying to figure out where to store the exhibit of 1,570 paintings, carvings, tools and ceremonial artifacts. This collection is known as the Kluge-Ruhe Collection because more than 900 items came from the Edward Ruhe collection. Edward Ruhe, was a professor at the University of Kansas who passed away in 1989. Edward is Ben Ruhe's brother and uncle to Barnaby Ruhe & Larry and Peter Ruhf.

Remember the article about Pat Cardiff in Boomerang News #46? This issue was mailed on 10 February. Upon returning home that evening, there was a message to call Pat Cardiff at a local Ann Arbor phone number! Pat was unaware that I had written an article about him in BN #46. Pat was visiting his fiancee's parents in Ann Arbor. Pat married his fiancee, Holly, on Friday, 13 February, and I was able to meet the couple on two pleasant evenings of boomerang chat before the wedding. I had never held a Cardiff boomerang in my hands prior to this meeting. I couldn't resist purchasing three beauties that Pat had brought with him. Pat is an incredible artist who sells his sculptured works of art at very reasonable prices. Pat encourages his customers to challenge him with photos of animals, people or other themes for him to paint. Before Pat left my home, I commissioned him to paint two boomerangs of Toby, my favorite boomerang catching dog. I will publish photographs of these boomerangs in a future issue of Boomerang News when they are completed.

I found Pat and Holly to be an absolutely charming couple who will brighten up New England events over the next couple of years. After that, Pat and Holly plan to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan. You can write Pat at the address on the cover of this issue.

The boomerang world is suffering the loss of yet another young boomeranger. Brenda Miller, a thrower from Temperance, Michigan, was a hard worker who helped produce several issues of MHR in the 1980s. She also helped tournament directors run several Midwest tournaments. Brenda passed away on 15 January at the age of 34 from complications resulting from Cystic Fibrosis. Contributions in memory of Brenda Miller can be mailed to:

Congratulations to Pat Steigman who was featured in the 2 February edition of "The Tyler Morning Telegraph", a newspaper from Tyler Texas. The focus of the article was about Pat's hobby and the display he put on in the Tyler Public Library (see BN46).

Congratulations to Tom Conally for being featured in the 16 February edition of the "Burlington Times-News" of Burlington, NC. Tom is well known for his "Flying Frog" boomerang products (see BN46 P7).

On 4 February, Dean Kelly found a 1950 vintage, mint condition, cardboard Coca-Cola cross stick boomerang on an internet auction page featuring Coca-Cola memorabilia. There was a minimum bid of $25 on the cross stick. The final bid is not known.

Did anyone see the ad for GT Global in the 19 February edition of The Wall Street Journal. It used the inexpensive red tip plywood commercial boomerang in the ad. Chevron Oil will do a little better. The Company rented several boomerangs from the Max Hoeben collection for a photo shoot in late February. Look for the ad sometime in March.

Steve Conaway has redesigned his Doublers, Jugglers, and added a new Trick Catch boomerang to his catalog. All of these are made of ultra-thin G-10 material. Doublers and Jugglers are $42. The Trick Catch is $21. Also new to the catalog is the Classic Hook and a brand new design called "Xanadu". The Classic Hook (Herb Smith design) is made from G-10 with carbon-fiber and is capable of a range of 60 - 100 metres, depending on tune and thrower. The Price is $40. Xanadu is a very accurate Aussie Round boomerang. It is also made from G-10 with carbon-fiber. This boomerang has unequal arm lengths, differing cord widths and competition airfoils. It achieves 50 meters in extremely calm conditions and yet can handle wind very well. The price of Xanadu is $30.

AUSTRALIA

Two Aussie teams will compete in the 1998 World Cup. Team 1 will include: David Schummy, Bruce Carter & John Wilson. Bob Burwell, Adam Carroll and Ian Sproul are possible additions. Rob Croll has retired from competition and will not be traveling to the USA in 1998. Team 2 throwers include: Kevin Moran (Capt.), Nick Gottschalk, Craig Carter, Trent Carter & Miles Jorgensen. A third team from North Queensland, headed by Marek Waskiewicz, is also a possibility.

Brother Brian Thomas has found yet another Australian stamp with a boomerang on it. Look on the crest of the Blacktown logo above.

Brother Brian Thomas went to the circus in January for the first time in 50 years and was surprised to find a clown, named Gary Broadbent Brophy, performing with boomerangs. Roger Perry taught Gary to throw in Perth 6 years ago. Gary uses both V-rangs, cross sticks and pin wheels to perform doubling, tripling and on-the-hat catching. Brian was really impressed. The circus act is currently touring in Japan.

At The 9th Annual Blue Mountains Boomerang Championships, held on 9 November 1997, Rob Croll took first places in the following events: Accuracy (39); Aussie Round (68); and MTA (37.17). Peter Lewry took first place in the remaining event: Same Boomerang (39). The Ladies champion was Margaret Patterson. The Junior and Girls Champion was Kellie Lewry.

At the 1998 Seamist Victorian Championships, Rob Croll took first place in Fast Catch (43.46) and Aussie Round (31) in awful weather conditions. Richard Barras took first in Accuracy (22). MTA and Trick Catching were cancelled. Top three overall placings went to: (1) Rob Croll; (2) Bruce Carter; and (3) Richard Barras.

At The 1998 NSW State Championships, held on 1 February, Brother Brian Thomas took first in Accuracy (39) and Same Boomerang (35). Günter Wandtke took firsts in MTA (23.16) and Fast Catch (39.00). Terry Patterson won Aussie Round with 37 points. The top three overalls included: (1) Günter Wandtke; (2) Tony Butz and (3) Brother Brian Thomas. The overall Ladies Champion was Shirley Lewry. The Junior Champion was Michael Lendrum.

BULGARIA

Gerhard Bertling sent in graphics (see photo, left) of 3 multi-bladed boomerangs that are manufactured in Russia (top 2) and Taiwan (bottom). The boomerangs are made out of a polypropylene plastic material.

CANADA

Returning home to British Columbia on 17 February, Canadian snowboard gold medalist Ross Rebagliati was greeted in Vancouver by his Mom ... who was holding a large, traditional Australian boomerang. She explained it was symbolic of his gold medal that left him and then returned. Ross's medal was temporarily yanked because his blood test showed concentrations of Marijuana. The Olympic committee returned the medal because Marijuana is not considered a performance enhancing drug (or is it?).

ENGLAND

Robert Uhlig, a technology correspondent from The Daily Telegraph in London is preparing a feature article on building boomerangs for long distance throwing. The Daily Telegraph (readership 2.5 million) holds an annual mass-participation public science experiment in collaboration with the BBC. This year there are plans to beat the Boomerang L/D world record. Hopefully our British readers will keep us informed on the progress of this nationwide boomerang event.

Martin Laslett is a British programmer who has written a boomerang flight simulator, based upon the works of Felix Hess. Unfortunately, his program requires the use of MATLAB, a software computational engine to run the flight simulator. If you have MATLAB on your computer and would like more information about Martin's flight simulator, email Martin at: DebAndMart@BTInternet.com

Jay Butters has won The Old Warden Autumn Throw-In, held on 28 September 1997. Jay took first place overall with wins in Accuracy (34); MTA (33.36 using a Bailey Wind Sailor); and Fast Catch (35.29). Sean Slade won a modified 30 metre Aussie Round event with 58/80 points.

Did any of the readers read the Winter 1998 issue of The BBS Journal? There was an excellent article on "Underhanded Boomerangs" by Bill Rusky, with comments by Richard Harrison, and Jim Nieberding. Plans for lots of boomerangs, including an origami boomerang, as downloaded from the WWW, were included in this excellent issue.

FRANCE

LMI & Fox is a well organized French company that takes the best French/Swiss designs and makes lower cost, high performance plastic replicas. Recently, LMI & Fox procured ownership of the famous Spinback 44 & Spinback 55 boomerangs (pictured below right). These models were originally produced by Jean-Louis Leyrat-Savin of Tomahawk Boomerangs. They were rated highly by American throwers like Carl Naylor and Al Gerhards and are regular products in The Boomerang Man. catalog. With a range of more than 50 metres, the Spinback 55 is an old standby for the Aussie Round event and is still used regularly by throwers who like a heavy omega boomerang with an eye-popping range. The flight is low and very circular and seems to return best in light winds, but this model has good wind resistance as well.

The Spinback 44 is a "U" shape made out of the same (black) glass fibre material as Spinback 55, but with slightly less range. The Spinback 44 is also available in a bright yellow polypropylene material that is less heavy and easier to catch, making it ideal for the less experienced thrower.

LMI & Fox also has a new four bladed Fast Catch trainer (pictured right) called "SkyBlader". It was designed by Yannick Charles and is available in both LH and RH and in polypropylene, glass fibre or carbon fibre materials. The editor sampled a polypropylene RH Skyblader and found it to be extremely easy to catch and plenty fast enough to use in competition for either Endurance or a first (safe) round of Fast Catch, unless you are Adam Ruhf. This boomerang doesn't show it's true potential in an unaltered state. The competition jock will want to buy about a dozen of these and modify them in different ways to accelerate their performance. Imagine what sharper leading edges, narrower chords and wind resistance holes will do to this boomerang in competition? You can find out more about the Skyblader, Spinback 44, Spinback 55 and other LMI & Fox boomerang products by contacting Jean-Louis Orgueil by email at jl.orguiel@hol.fr or by writing to the following address:

SPAIN

Pere Vives is not only a Spanish boomerang thrower, but he makes them as well. Pere sent the editor a sample of his traditional model (see below) to review in Boomerang News. This boomerang, called "RANG-BÓ" has an extra wide chord with a 90° angle between the blades. It is made out of a very light (4 ply) plywood. The finish is a rather attractive see-through lacquer that transitions from red on the tips to yellow at the elbow. The flight range is about 25 metres. The boomerang likes to climb high and stay high, losing spin just at the end of the flight because of air drag and low inertial mass properties. This is not an exciting competition product, but it makes a good sports boomerang. If you collect boomerangs from different countries, like I do, you will want to get one for your very own. If you want to find out more about RANG-BÓ boomerang products, email Pere at: pervive@sumi.es or write to:

IN CLOSING

With the World Cup taking place in late July, a real possibility exists that the USBA Nationals could be held earlier than usual in 1998. American boomerangers who wish to serve on the USBA Board of Directors need to start thinking about their strategies for running for office. Details for both the Nationals and how to get your name on the ballot will most certainly be released by the USBA in the near future. Put together a resume to sell your self to voting USBA members. For those of you who complain the most about the action (or inaction) of the current USBA board of directors, this is your chance to find out how much work being on the board really is.

Bid sheets for the Spring auction will be available in early March 1998. The bid sheet must be returned by 15 April 1998. Notification of winning bids will take place on 1 May 1998. To preview the auction on the WWW, go to: http://users.aol.com/tbrang2/auction.html
