What stramge counter weights have you or your freinds ever used
YoYos, Beanie Babies, and pebbles.
I have heard of ninja stars. Never used them but hey.
My watch.
Jeez! That looks dangerous! Don’t hit somebody with that… :o
a shoe
A key chain Rubik cube, poker chip, chess peace, bearing, and a ball of barbwire. Later.
P.S Don’t try out the barb wire thing unless you know what your doing.
Keep it spinning™

a squirrel with a rocket lancher! 
(kidding, but that would be so cool!)
(i have used a pen. also a tv remote, not a good idea lol) :o
Chameleon, that’s a wasps nest if I’m not mistaken right? Later.
Keep it spinning™

the ninja star looks cool
fold up a piece of paper 
I tried a chem light with glow string… the chem light was too heavy though… I also used a cd… <Dont worry… Was just an old aol trial cd… Not good for anything else… Wasn’t even a decent counterweight>
Use your parents. They’ll be like… AHHHHHHHHHH! GET ME OUT OF THIS! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
You are mistaken 
It is a ball of string.
Tried a Pop-Tart. Threw a Trapeze, Pop-Tart went bye-bye. 
Then did you eat the counterweight? Wait, that doesn’t sound right. Did you eat the Pop-tart? That sounds better.
STOP MAKING ME HUNGRY!!!
(i tried a key chain)
