I guess I was about 17 and my brother James and I featured in the local paper ~ The Art of Flicking By the Brothers Fricker - my brothers comment - "Yep, with the title "The Flicking Frickers" I think. It might have been a year or two earlier when we were both at high school and created a ruckus by initiating boomerang throwing as a lunchtime fun thing to do. Remeber that time after school in ideal conditions when I broke the world record of 49 consecutive catches with 70! But no official observers!
Or remember the time when we were playing chicken, standing apart, and throwing at each other and I broke your unbreakable glasses! ;-( SORRY! I love you George, and you are the best brother in the world." - I guess that is why boomerang throwing is not a common sport - boys will be boys eh.
