best kids sports toys image
Buddy Memp
There was this one toy that was used in gym classes that was plastic and it was shaped like a little one piece claw type thing that you would catch a ball with holes in it. Sort of like a lacrosse stick but instead of mesh it was just plastic backing. What is this toy called?

I guess it's called scoop ball. I was hoping it would have some awesome name like splatter ball or something, but no. I had to check it out, because I totally remember that game. So Fun!

How do I make a toy parachute that falls for the longest time?

How do I make a toy parachute that falls for a long time? Any suggestions on the design of the parachute, materials to use? Thanks!
Answer
the easy way to make a toy at home would be to use dental floss for the lines and a thin plastic sheet or very, very light fabric for the canopy. I would make a round. Building a RAM air canopy would be way to much work. the round canopy will just be a circle of material with a small hole cut in the center. this center hole will allow air to spill out in the center and will let the canopy descend straight down. without it the canopy will wobble back and forth to spill extra air out a side. Look up some pictures of millitary drops for good images of round canopy. flame jumps use them a lot too. I know there is a good picture of a kid jumping a paracamander on the pics of the week page on www.skydiveradio.com.
real parachutes were made of silk, now they are made of F111 or Zero Porosity fabric. Check out www.performancedesigns.com for a site of one of the best manufactures in the business. I just one of their Spectre canopies and love it.
if you ever want to try skydiving yourself I strongly encourage you to do it!
There are a couple websites you need to check out to get good info on skydiving.
http://www.uspa.org is the website of the United States Parachute Association, the governing body for sport parachuting in the United States. There is a list of member dropzones on the website along with all sorts of great info on the sport.
http://www.dropzone.com is another great resource for everything about skydiving and some BASE too.
http://www.skydiveradio.com is just fun and a good place to feel like youâre at the drop zone when you canât physically be there.
Make sure that you contact the drop zone you want to jump at directly. There are a few scams out there, one of which is 1800skyride. They will take your money and send you to any dropzone they want too but only about three dzâs in the country except skyride tickets. So please, please, please contact the dropzone directly.
The tandem is a great jump. Iâd get video too. I made one tandem a little over two years ago and came back to start student training (good info about student training at uspa.org) and got my license. Iâve been jumping for two years and have a few hundred jumps. I love this sport and I sincerely hope that youâll become a full time skydiver and Iâll be able to make some jumps with you at a boogie!
