Where It All Began

10 August 2011

Eleven years ago, I bought a frisbee at the University of Alberta’s club week from the University of Alberta Ultimate team. I started throwing that disc in a field close to my aunt + uncle’s house and would throw 3-4 nights per week for an hour each time.

Looking back, it’s easy to see how I started and how far I’ve come. I really appreciate all the support of my fans over the past 2 years and look forward to providing you more videos and articles to help you improve your game.

Well shoot. I’ve been wanting to do a frisbee trick shot video for about a year but just never seemed to fit it in amongst my other videos. I gotta give props to Brodie Smith for doing a sweet trick shots video of his own. My favourites are the ones where he throws the disc along a wall. It’s actually really easy to throw the disc but it’s pretty impressive the skill it takes to have the disc drop at the right spot. Check the video out here:

The key to throwing a good forehand is having good wrist snap. This video shows how you should be snapping your wrist and how with good snap, the disc will have good spin and will have a smooth flight.
