This year’s Freestyle Frisbee World Championships is in Medellin, Columbia. What, to far to go to watch? Don’t worry, we will be working to live stream the event. Alot of things have to come together for this to work, but so far things are looking good. Check out our Live Freestlye page to watch it live. The event starts on July 31st and goes for 4 days. I will be updating this site with more details, schedule, etc so check back often. Hope to see you there. But if not, then let’s meet online.
Word of the Day – Moon Dog
Moon Dog is a new freestyle catch by Matt Gauthier. He shared the idea for the catch on the drive from Portland to Seattle on July 3, 2014. Later that day, he tried it and completed the catch at Green Lake Park. The next day, he caught Moon Dog in competition at the Potlatch freestyle championships in Redmond, Washington.
UD with a Cartwheel Restriction – WTF!?
Matt saw a video on you tube and was inspired to try this. First, right side up. That seems impossible to me. But for Matt it was too easy so he went again, this time with the disc upside down. If that’s not Hein, I don’t know what is!
Introduction to Cuffing Video
In the video I demonstrate how to cuff a frisbee. Cuffing is when the angle of a disc in flight is changed by letting the thin side of the rim slide on your hand. It is a great tool to keep a disc in proper relation to the wind direction when air brushing, but it can also be a cool trick by itself. Think of a frisbee passing by that you cuff so it air bounces to your friend.
Let me know in the comments if you have any questions or suggestions for another how-to topic.
