Title: Chinlone
Post by: Evo on Feb 10, 2009, 02:50: AM: Just came across this video of a game called chinlone:

From wikipedia:

Quote
Chinlone is the traditional sport of Burma (Myanmar). Chinlone is a combination of sport and dance, a team sport with no opposing team. In essence chinlone is non-competitive, yet it is as demanding as the most competitive ball games. The focus is not on winning or losing, but how beautifully one plays the game.

Sounds and looks great. :cheers:

Well, in my opinion it isn't . It is hard and the bounce is strange. The tricks are different as well, a trick that looks like khtw is named Mandala after the city Mandalay where Chinlone is played annualy at the Waso Festival . Sickest sport ever ..,

:pimp:

Looks like a regular old size 1 ball you can get anywhere. And if there's something "special" about a "Chinlone ball," I'd be surprised. This is an ancient game, man... it's the technique, not the equipment.

Yes, thats right, but i think ball made from rattan, has a little bit differently flying way and i think the Chinloneball just looks so cool :D thats all, cheers mate.
