Yeah!! Ultimate is freakin' awesome!! I play both Ultimate and I also disc golf!! My team got fourth place in this huge Ultimate tournament we had at school!! Any of you guys disc golf too?! If so, what kind of discs do you guys use?! I just played a big Ultimate game a few nights ago! It was pretty sweet!!

A couple of friends and I used to work drills and plays everyday during lunch before the tournament!! My backhand and forehand are awesome now!!

You guys realise of course that the sport is called "flying disc" and not Frisbee. Frisbee is actually a brand name belonging to the company wham-o.

Krafty · Post by **Krafty** » 14 Jul 2005 09:15

Yeah, but people use the term frisbee so much that now, when someone says frisbee, we know they're talking about flying disc.

Just like "hacky sack"?

And "Q-tip" and "Rollerblade".

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 14 Jul 2005 09:38

what the fuck is a q-tip?

delakong · Post by **delakong** » 14 Jul 2005 09:43

Are you serious? If you are a "Q-tip" is like the biggest brand name for cotton swabs. You know, the things you clean your ears with. Maybe that's only here.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 14 Jul 2005 09:47

All I know is that I've never heard of them. I'd call that a cottom swab or something like that. I'll look out for them when I'm at the supermarket next. I expect it's an American thing to call them that but they could be sold in Australia.

Hoover is an American term for sure although we watch enough American movies in Australia to know you mean vacuum cleaner

it's like football(american football) but with a frisbee... you can walk/run at any time but when you get the frisbee, you cant move... then you have to pass it. .. it's a fucking great game! and if i remember, theres no contact. as in i can't jump on you to take the frisbee... i have to intercept a pass.

played with 2 teams. i wish ppl played that here!

Frisbee actually does make a couple of golf discs.
I've never seen anyone using them, or found a lost one, so I get the idea that they probably suck....just like Hacky Sack.

---------------------------

Innova has a good variety of golf discs, I like Leopards and Valkyries and Teebirds.

I saw a guy get hit in the face with an ultimate pass at point blank range, he bled.

Ultimate may be a non-contact sport, but I've seen them play aggressive like basketball. So if basketball is non-contact.......

ultimate frisbee is fun

sampotter · Post by **sampotter** » 14 Jul 2005 13:24

I used to play ultimate frisbee. That sport is the shit! I used to play for my school but since lost a lot of love for it since I don't have much time for learning to play on a team. Possibly why I play footbag... However, it's still really fun to learn new throws and just toss a disc around. I'm constantly striving to be bothsided with my throws and catches and learn as many ridiculous throws as I can.

SandWraith · Post by **SandWraith** » 14 Jul 2005 16:27

I don't really play ultimate frisbee, but I play frisbee golf... errr, flying disc golf ^_^. I use an innova shark and I suck. Like, not horribly, but I'm not something to watch or anything. We actually have two courses in our town-- a 9-hole course that is pretty much all grass with a few trees thrown in for good measure and an 18-hole bend-you-over pound-you-in-the-ass course set in the middle of one of the densest forests I've ever seen. My friend and I probably hit a tree almost every other throw. I can get 5 or 6 under easily on the 9-hole course, but getting par on the forest course is quite the accomplishment. Sorry for talking about something you didn't ask for. Oh, and I can't believe Jeremy hasn't heard of Q-tips! That's whack, yo!

'Cotton Bud'

*Ultimate Frisbee* sounds alot like netball, rather than football. I've seen it played on TV once.

My friend bought a disc and it came with a DVD! It taught you how to play the game and everything. It also showed you the 3 different types of throws, catching (and diving), defending, and offense. It was pretty sweet. I wish a DVD came with some footbags.
