Exactly what it says. I think they should include this in the Olympics, since the javelin and discus have limitations and does not necessarily show actual throwing ability, as I can - is the word testify?
I can throw in the 50-60 metre range the average stone, but I can only throw a normal javelin about 20m, a bamboo cane 30m, discus about 30m as well.
Also post your build, height(arm length, i.e. short, long etc.) and age if you wish to. Mine: slight, long, 17.
(The reason I posted this is because it's the one physical thing I am better at than most people.)

Interesting idea, if somewhat random. I'll give it a try tomorrow and see how well I do.

There's only one correct answer on HLP polls...

About 60 feet, using grenade technique. ;7

mmmmmmm now the rules are a little hazy are we taking that the 1st moment the stone touches the ground its over or do we count the rebounds?
any way i should be able o throw it around 70/75 metres (1m90:; medium fast right arm with a little swing)

I think I'll stick to throwing baseballs...though I haven't thrown one in years.

Snuffleupagus wins!

Wrong, Snuffleupagus OWNS!
On a side note, what kind of poll is this? :p

Sometimes we forget that Dekker is a certified badass.

My certification expired in may 05. I'm now just a generic "confident git"

oh yeah - who reckoned they could throw 100+ ? I know it's not impossible, but I'm a little suspicious...
-
100+, using a catapult.

it has a lot to do with the type of stone too.
i can throw a smooth, flat stone significantly further than a round, uneven stone

You mean a ball :lol:
j/k, skipping stones is much fun :yes:

Okay, a round stone that doesn't have any aerodynamic advantage, whe it hits the ground. You cannot stand on top of a 500m cliff with a large hill for it to roll down. You cannot throw it into a plane or bird, or out of a plane or bird. You may not use a catapult, balista, bow and arrow, trebuchet, gun or a cannon. You may not use any other device that is not part of your biological make-up. No, you may not be a cyborg. You may not wait for 300km/h winds to whip up. You may not throw it into a tornado. You cannot throw it while moving at any velocity other than 0m/s relative to the ground that the stone lands on, and the measuring device...............need anything else?......Oh, and no usage of telekentic powers or force fields is permitted...I think I need a rest....

Damn you. where i live that's a definite possibility :nod:
