BOLIDE - The Shape Shifting Orbit Toy
PLEASE CONSIDER ORDERING FROM THE SHOP AT
---
BOLIDE is an evolution in orbiting object manipulation, engineered for the player who demands versatility, balance, and pure creativity. While its core design is rooted in the classic Meteor, the BOLIDE is a multi-modal skill toy capable of flawlessly mimicking the playstyles of 6+ different juggling props. It is a six-piece system that adapts to your play on the fly.
The BOLIDE is built for playful variation. Each end of the paracord features a fixed teardrop-shaped bead designed for optimal playability—the string knot is cleanly hidden inside the bead for a smooth, comfortable grip. The remaining four pieces slide freely along the string: two Bowl shapes and two Ball shapes that fit into each other. These pieces are precision-weighted to be near-perfectly balanced, ensuring smooth transitions and consistent feel across all play modes.
Play Modes:
METEOR: The core form. Pure, classic Meteor play with weight focused entirely on the ends. All parts stacked at either end.
ASTROJAX: Mimics Astrojax flow, allowing for fluid orbital transitions (Note: one end is slightly heavier than the others). One end left intact, the other separated into a ball/bead and bowl.
MONKEY KNUCKLES: Offers the flowing, dual sliding style of Monkey Knuckles. Hold the ball/bead in each hand, letting the bowls slide or Hold a bead and slide the ball and bowl. Two ways to do the style.
HEAD & TAIL: Creates an uneven weight dynamic, similar to two balls at one end and one at the other like Astrojax or similar uneven weight of a single Poi. One stacked segment plus a bowl with a bead/ball at the other end.
ROPE DART: Focuses the entire mass into a single head for Rope Dart maneuvers. All four sliding pieces stacked against one fixed end, leaving only the bead at the opposite end.
MIX IT UP: Experience truly fluid play by combining every style—the BOLIDE is built for discovering new transitions.
Materials: Entirely 3D printed for durability and consistency.
Stringing: Built with high-quality 95 Paracord. Sold in specific lengths but fully customizable—restringing is possible by cutting and re-fishing the knot from inside the teardrop bead.
Durability Note: BOLIDE is designed to withstand rigorous use, but like any finely tuned prop, excessive impact on hard surfaces (like concrete) may cause cosmetic denting.
Choose your mode. Master your flow. Unleash the BOLIDE and become the Sonic Boom of Play!
