In reply to Georges.

Hello Georges, nice to hear from you. I’ve played Pitchak in Nice. In 2016 we met Serge Gabrielich and had a couple of “cultural exchange sessions”, which was very fun and interesting. It is not easy to say where the basse (Pitchak) has originated from, but we have some evidence that people played “basse” in Trondheim from around 1900. And that the basse were made of bicycle tubes from maybe 1930s? I found an article about it here: https://www.jugglepro.com/en/blogs/blog/jouer-au-pitchak-ou-a-la-basse-norvegienne
Also, here is a piece from Yearbook from Trøndelag (1980) which may be interesting: https://www-basse-no.translate.goog/basse-ein-trondersport/?_x_tr_sl=no&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=no
It is indeed good for your health, and you don’t even need expensive equipment 🙂 And yes – please try to make the children play basse!

Hei da jeg var ung i Algerie (for 60 år siden), lekte vi med en utskåret slange, som deg, men vi kalte den Pitchak. Reglene var annerledes og bare barn lekte der. Kan du fortelle meg når dette spillet ble oppfunnet i hjemmet ditt? Dette spillet har blitt praktisert i flere år i Frankrike; den ble brakt til Sør-Frankrike av Pieds-Noirs (fransk født i Algerie, som var et fransk departement frem til 1962). Jeg lurer på hvordan dette spillet ender opp i så forskjellige land! Spill bra, det er bra for helsen din! Jeg vil prøve å få ham adoptert av barna i landsbyen min, i Bretagne. Hilsen – Georges
