He he, guys... and girl, a meeting of Slinging.org to see videos. It would be nice. Good idea Ulrica, the meeting in the Balearic islands, the best place to spend the summer holydays. Come all to Balearic Is. next summer to see the honderos liveĦĦ I invite you to the welcome dinnerĦĦ... We of this side of the Ocean we are at least more close... who knows, but already I advance to you that the Balearic ones are a little closed in themselves as good islanders and cultivate the sport of the sling for themselves, like a sign of identity, to half of way between the folklore and the sport. The sling is for them a tradition and do an effort to keep it up with fervour, but does not have the dimension of a sport competicion like athletics championships for example. I mean that the important thing for them is the participation more than quality. Thus, in theirs encounters you can see very good slingers mixed with fat ladies that they do not guess right a shot, or old men who long for their youthful skill. In fact theirs records, even being good, do not correspond to that ability that would have the mythical honderos of the antiquity, and perhaps any of them will snatch to Yurek the next Guiness
. I have a video of one of those competitions from some years ago, but it is of bad quality as it´s a third copy. I live in Madrid and since two years ago haven´t talked with the Balearic people, with which I had much contact others times. I´ll write them to see if they have something new in regard to videos.
Yurek, if the forum continue growing up, may be one year we could organize this International Slinging Competition you say
