Chinlone

Chinlone is the national sport of Myanmar. It is non-competitive, you play in a circle, similar to footbag (hacky sack) and try to keep the woven ratan ball off the ground while doing tricks. I can't do any tricks and can't really keep the ball off the ground but I'm good at running to get the ball before it lands in the stream running through the square we played in.




The dude in yellow is Greg Hamilton, the director of the above movie. You can see really cool clips of people playing Chinlone if you go to his website. www.mysticball-themovie.com
