Michael Moschen. I wonder how he did in geometry. :blink:

Damn! :clapping:

Dude needs to gat a bike or a life or maybe both...then he wouldn't have so much time to play with his balls.

I first saw this guy mebbe 20 years ago on PBS. He was doing the triangle thing way back then. But what he was also doing, that I couldn't find on YouTube, was this crazy stunt with a park bench. He stood about 25 feet from it and repeatedly hurled a ball at it so that it would bounce up and hit the bottom of the bench with back spin and then come flying back to his hand. He did this over and over, mebbe 30 throws. The geometries and precision to make this happen suggest Moschen's motor control is flat incredible.

It's that old? Man am I behind the times. :blink: I just found out about him because he made the cover of a mathematics journal.

Makes me wonder what he could do with a motorcycle. :evilsmiley03: If you come across the video please post it.

Oh, I think the YouTube vid is recent. It was a much younger Moschen on PBS.

I understand his appearing on the math journal cover. I tend to think that the motion of a ball being thrown 25 feet to bounce under a park bench and back gets chaotic (in the math sense) with very small deviation from a perfect throw.

Will do. On occasion, I've gone looking for the park bench stuff. I've not ever seen it on YouTube. It's kind of mind blowing, so I'd be sure to post a link.

Hi Dudes

Towards the end of this video, he does the throwing the ball - then it bounces back to catch it thing.....

Now if your daughter married him, could you both agree that he was a good catch?

I am guessing the High School baseball coach woulda loved him
