You mean a bull roarer, Australian Aboriginal type, used primarily for cermonial purposes by the male members of the tribe? Don't they have a funny orbit or could you attach them to the ends of your poi?What are we going on about?The bull roarer was often used by the central tribes to warn women and children away from totemic ceremonies, particularly during initiation. The sound was regarded as the voice of the spirit come to take the boys away. In some cases bull roarers were associated with various totemic objects known as churinga which women or uninitiated men were forbidden to see. Penalties were severe; blinding by fire-stick or even death. Source: https://www.cinemedia.net/FOD/FOD0021.htmlnexus_sun

what about those little whistles on the "NERF" footballs and such? could those somehow be attached to a ball or something?

be what you are, and dont be what you aint. Cause if you are what you aint, than you aint what you are.

How good an idea is that.....Nerf balls may become extremely annoying though.Now the bull roared that would be cool, i just didn't think you could get enough speed to keep em going for any consistent amount of time (whilst doing cool tricks that is).Cheers APB
