I've recently come to love this little plastic sports utensil -- my friend at work brought his in a couple of weeks ago and since then a few of us have been playing whenever we can - I never realised how much fun it is! A quick flick of the wrist, a release at just the right time, and presto! a wondrous arc of plastic circularity sweeps through the air to hit your opponent on the noggin, marvellous stuff. |

do you play just "throw-catch-throw" or the more complex "frisbee-golf" and "trick frisbee" games? |
||||||||

Well since only about two people are actually properly skilled in the frisbee, we usually just play throw-catch varieties... the boy whose frisbee it is learnt playing on the beaches of Majorca or something for 8 weeks a couple of summers ago - he has a beautiful throw -- that one where you hold it underneath and kinda throw it like a clay-pigeon machine throws a clay pigeon - pure and sweet it floats. I've improved though, and I've succeeded in that throw a couple of times. It is of great fun. I've got a couple of them into the sport of jumping onto the skip backwards and turning 180 or 360 degrees to land upon the platform behind it - that is a fun activity, but not frisbee-related. |

doesn't take more than two to play frisbee golf, and it's a great summer activity for those "it's too fucking hot to actually DO anything" days. Throw in some beers and you've got an activity that in no way could be camouflaged as being masculine, but still is great fun. is it a pro frisbee (weighted and stuff), or just a regular one? |

His first one was an old Orangina one which has lasted forever - the second one resembles Captain Marvel's shield (I think) -- they are both pretty damned cool. I'll ask him if he knows of this Frisbee Golf... |

heh.. it's pretty easy basically, you each need one frisbee, and then you pick targets (or "holes" if you want to complete the analogy) that you're all throwing your frisbee at. then you play as you would golf.. the guy who uses less throws to hit the targets wins. |

Yep that sounds pretty fun - I'll see if we can play that next time I'm there - thanks for the heads up, Drunken Mastah. |

hahah! strangely enough this is the most coherent conversation I've had all day and I don't mean only on the internets! |

They have a really cool course over here, all by a lake and in the woods |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
an actual course specially made for it? that's great and weird at the same time! |

Druken Mastah, is it a fairly common game out in Norway? I'm not sure where it originated, but very cool that you have it out there. |

well thank you for participating in this paean to the frisbee, my Norwegian Co-Forumer. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
It's kind of a hippy thing, not sure where it originated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And there are at least a few actual courses around here, the one I have been to is in a state park. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh.. no, I wouldn't call it common.. it's not something you see often, but then again, neither is normal frisbeeing... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on the contrary, dear sir, thank you for providing such a pleasant topic in these late nights, but I fear I must retire to my bed now. |

I have always loved throwing the frisbee around with friends. We always love taking the frisbee to the beach and chucking it around. I also played on a team for a few years - a game called "Ultimate Frisbee"...Itss kinda a mix between soccer and football...Very Very fun. Good call....Nowadays my girlfriend and I go over to the park near her house and throw the friz around.... FUN TIMES |

I am pleased to note that your avatar features Ron Burgundy, Anchorman -- I greatly enjoyed this film: did you like the scene where they have a gang fight? |

Oh man, this whole movie cracks me up everytime I watch it.... Its one of the funniest movies in the last few years IMO.... "They have done studies....60% of the time, it works everytime." |

I play on an ultimate frisbee team. It's not official, but we do play against some official teams and some university teams as well. Great sport. |

i probably started playing frisbee around 15 or 16. back then i played it all the time, both golf and catch, but lately it's been on and off. i'm from minneapolis and we have tons of frisbee golf courses. the feeling of the perfect firsbee toss is incomparable. |
