    If I bring some supplies are you teaching how to make a practice meteor, I have tried to get the damn monkey knot but I just suck at it and none of my friends can get it either heh. Maybe I should give up on it and do it some other way but no time really before BM with my zillion other projects. Be fun to learn it though!! Maybe I can trade ya a hula hoop or something hehe.

      If you bring tons of rope, at least 20ft and some weights and maybe some cotton ill show you how to make a sick practice meteor, that goes for everyone of course. oh and some needle nose pliers.

      make sure your rope is between 1/8th and 1/2 inch and is soft to the tough, aka nice on the hands, and wont ware away from constant rubbing. The blue and white pool rope at home depot is awesome!

      see you on the playa!

          Golf balls might be to big. the ball will show through the knot. Maybe some marbles?....anything thats about 3/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter. Ive even balled up some aluminum foil to fit what ever size I need, but that isn't very weighty. I've thought that molding some sculpey clay into balls would be perfect but haven't tried it yet.

          both golf balls and aluminum foil are not even near heavy enough =] in fact aren't they both specifically designed to be light? hehe

          i use lead finish weight in the 2-3 ounces zone. As for size golf balls are better then marbles but weight is way more important since you can pretty much put anything in the fist without any problems.


          so yeah, you'll want at least 2-4 ounces of weight, other then that its up to you. I use led because it small for its size.

          see you at the burn
