Wham-OHDX Model 170g

Jonny's replacement replacement . As the sport of freestyle flourished in the mid-to-late 1970s, there arose a definite need for a flying disc made of sturdier plastic. Repeated tipping, especially in cold weather, would cause the discs to crack, (just what happened)thereby shortening the freestyle life of the disc. Dan Roddick of Wham-O, Inc. an accomplished freestyler himself, heard the outcries of his fellow freestylers and urged Wham-O execs to explore the possibility of a flying disc made of stronger material. His strategy to bring their attention to the matter included piling up cracked discs in the hall of the R&D department. The campaign eventually worked.
The result - the High Durability eXperimental Frisbee®, more commonly known as the HDX, was molded from a low density polyethylene. The new plastic was tested by freezing the discs, then subjecting them to breakage tests by smashing them into the factory walls at Wham-O. They proved to be superior in strength to the World Class Frisbee® plastic.

Thank JWD for spotting this ;'Mark Kudarauskas 1983 "Zee Truth" speed disc. 80 E mold Whammo in Gold Hotstamp. It's weight at is probably 165 grams. It has Marks name, BOSTYLE Massachusetts, and 1983 on the hotstamp. The object is to determine your speed of your "z's" by looking at the rotation of the logo.' My question is ; how can you see the hotstamp when it's in flight?

Gimp 1 hangs up his mask

Frisbee World Stunned by Shock Resignation

Team members are still reeling from a sudden announcement on Sunday by Gimp1 AKA 'The Gimp'. He said he would no longer be part of the tournament structure, and has resigned -effective immediately- from the squad. This comes on the eve of the critical build up time to competition. Needless to say other team members were quick to criticise the timing and manner with which the announcement was made. Gimp1 informed team mates just after a training session this Sunday. Normal procedure, in which Gimp1 is well versed, would dictate a written resignation, giving the team plenty of notice (a month at the very least). This would enable the necessary restructuring, trails, reorganisation, and extra training that such a move would necessitate. Not adhering to this straight forward procedure has created an atmosphere of fear and distrust right through the team. However, the team training staff and management understand and respect the players decision, if not the way he handled it.

eat the pie and fly

The Frisbie Baking Company (1871-1958) of Bridgeport, Connecticut, made pies that were sold to many New England colleges. Hungry college students soon discovered that the empty pie tins could be tossed and caught, providing endless hours of game and sport.

New Gimps on the Block

Team coaches have reported a number of inquiries about how to get on the team, and how and when trials are held. As you might imagine competition for the prestigious top four tournament gimp slots is ferocious, but there is always the chance that a newcomer might make the grade. The application procedure this year has been simplified, and new players are always encouraged to apply. All that is now required is two referrals in writing from existing team players, plus a standard UKFA application form. This should be accompanied with a brief resume covering all relevant experience and tournament history. Needless to say successful candidates should have a commitment to the team and the sport in general, and will be expected to provide their own masks for the first season. I hope this has been useful and answers any outstanding queries.

Thanks to G2 for demonstrating near perfect form, poise, and posture. Some key elements have been highlighted. Note the nesting of the wham-o uv 175 with the freestyle 165, ready for a sidearm double throw.

Post-sidearm flick position AKA the 'air guitar'

!"£$%^&*()_+#~

New contender showing he might have what it takes. Note high level concentration and nice relaxed body and foot positioning allowing for quick repositioning should it be required. Team coaches were impressed by first showing and would like to invite R back to tryout for G4 team slot.

!"£$%^&*()_+#~

Good middle body poise, combined with high speed double arm flap motion, leading to long arching throw with plenty of zees. Note anchor foot position underpinning the whole procedure.

Good dog avoidance technique, frisbee held in close and ignore the dog...see how the mutt soon gets bored and trots off harmlessly. Simple

!"£$%^&*()_+#~

...and looking around while still holding frisbee (freestyle 165 -mended) close to check doggy has gone, simple.

!"£$%^&*()_+#~

The Freestyle 165 has been fixed up by carefully heating and smoothing, using the Ray Mears endorsed Blueflame PB-207(http://www.raymears.com/). 'APOLOGY' ACCEPTED - SEE COMMENT ON 'Puppy Panic' below. No more will be said about it, and Yes , the dog was quite fierce looking.

Dog Debacle or 'Puppy Panic'

This little fella (or one remarkably similar) caused the damage seen below on lovely NEW freestyle 165 Frisbee. Team members panicked and decided the best way to react was to keep throwing the frisbee about in an erratic and uncontrolled way, at the same time allowing their own irrational fear to completely take them over. Culminating in a feeble 'throw' straight to the puppy. They also completely ignored the clear advice and guidance being given by experienced team coaches on the scene. It just goes to prove the old adage; 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself'. Needless to say both team members are DROPPED from all competition events this month. All players please note; when a dog shows an interest in training sessions, whoever has the disc should immediately hold it flat to their body and ignore the pooch. Other players could also help by distracting the mutt. GOT IT?

Comment

Dear Sir,
I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms about your inaccurate representation of yesterday's unfortunate incident. Two team members were involved in a scintillating "jam", involving among other things; chicken wings, dragon catches, and pretzels, when suddenly - and without warning from idle team members who should've been keeping a look out! - they were attacked by a vicious, snarling beast intent on destruction and harm. Bravely they played on, toying with the evil brute, until they were distracted by the inane ranting coming from the coach. This caused an interruption to their impeccable accuracy and allowed the killer to make it's fatal strike. It is with regret that I note the damage caused to the freestyle 165 frisbee. I had hoped the purchase of two alcoholic beverages would've eased your distress. Unfortunately I see that this is not the case.
I am, yours etc. John William Davies.
