Jesus Vega,

Great to hear from you my friend!  Welcome to the slinging.org message forum!  I've been very excited to hear how you are doing.  I've put up some of your writings in the topic, Federacio Balear de Tir de Fona.  A lot of things that you wrote to answer my questions that were very helpful to me a few years ago. 

I'm very very sad to hear about your shoulder   I have a war story too.  I recently permanently hurt my wrist making bullwhips.  My webpage is www.whipartist.com. ; I was able to rehab it with ice but not good enough for whip making.  I've been making slings though.  Look in the picture gallery or at my website and you'll see some pictures of slings I made. 

We have atleast one member who speaks Spanish. Archeorob: Rob.  He could translate your sling throwing handbook.  I think he may want a copy.  I know if we could get a copy translated we would all enjoy it.  He may be a good man for you to contact.

I didn't see your webpage link in your profile?  You can post it on here if you want.  I would like to see it.

Write on the board whenever you have time.  We all are very devoted to the sling and we appreciate having a veteran like you as a member. 
 
I am having a lot of sadness, hearing about your shoulder!  Are you certain it's a permanent injury?  www.ctcream.com helps sports injury inflammation a lot. And so do ice bags 4 times a day for 10 minutes at a time until healed.  I had trouble accepting my wrist injury, but it's hard to hear that you can't sling.  I know you were very good!  I've had a few long term sports injuries finally heal with ice, ctcream, and weight training.  If not, maybe with enough practice you could get your other arm good?  A good challenge anyway.   

I hope you enjoy our website a lot Jesus Vega.  Join in the discussion whenever you have time. 

                                    
                                       Long Live The Sling,

                                           Ben   

                                    

Ok Ben, now don't keep us in suspense!  were you able to find Jesus Vegas' website??  What's the URL?? ???

Rob

You were right, Ben, the URL in my profile was wrong and don´t display. Now is OK, but you clever guys have found out quickly my site. I´ve seen your peruvian slings... very fine work, indeed... One of this days I´ll give all of you a nice present: A peruvian site with thousands of beautiful archaeological precolumbian slings, found in graves and excavations(is a comun project Spain - Peru)... if you don´t get it before, jaja

Saludos, amigos

Thousands!!!  One of these days soon I hope???   I'm trying to get ideas for the next sling I'm making.  I'm drolling!  I just bought some Alpaca yarn, and can't wait till it comes. 

I really loved your sling museum.  Beautiful slings from all over the world.  The best collection on the internet!  the Balearic slings are awesome.  I like the way they make the split cradles so simply.

Was skimming and accidently the ICE and CTCCREAM blended and I read ICE CREAM, which of course might actually help...   

Wow, you've bought a copy!?  Now I'm envious.  Glad to see you've already been looking at it.  I've just checked it out from the library for VERY extended periods of time.   One of these days I'll find a copy for sale, but you're right, they are rare!  The author has already been bugged about when he plans on doing a second edition (or atleast a second printing).
