Techniques such as the Flick

Getting low for the explosive big flick is sweet. Gotta do that snap fast, snap.

T Rex grip is great for lefty too!

Go Juice!

Big win over Gold today. 14 - 11. Brutal game. Big confidence booster that we won. My cuts were sort of bad. Billy said to cut hard in force side and then clear out deep. That's what I will work on for next game. Really fundamental cuts. IN first, then deep. I'm not a deep threat when I try to force the deep cut every play.

Anyway, Big win for Juice. Word.

I didn't go to wildwood.

Today I jumped on a trampoline. Will someone get me a 40" standing vertical for Christmas? Because it felt nice.

In related news, Beau skied everyone from Japan and US won the gold medal at the world games. The world games are cool because ultimate in a stadium is fantastic. It may not crown the definitive world champion, but heck. Ultimate on a jumbotron? Yes please.

Why is it

that I can play savage at New Paltz and get winded after two points at summer league? (I bet Doober will have a snarky yet insightful answer).

Anyway, we lost. Losing is not that fun but it builds character. We played hard. No excuses.

And we still had fun.

First half I cut hard but not into space and basically ran around a lot uneccesarily.
Second half was more of the same until I managed to get some touches on the disc and huck a forehand to Billy. We were down 12 - 10, I caught a callahan off my own pull to make it 12 - 11...well not bad.
My pulling form is pretty solid, three big ones in bounds.
Tootin my own horn. Toot toot!

But we still lost.
Wildwood?

Apology accepted, captain Needa

Well it seems that Magic Roll and friends, in general, don't hate me for screwing up the ow my knee bid situation. That's good.

We tooled at rec league today.

Throwing is all about generating directional force and if you bend your torso to throw any force you could have generated with your core is effectively pointed at the ground.

So keep yourself straight.

beauty in the breakdown

So they say.

Magic Roll ain't going to ow my knee and it is my fault if it is anyone's. I made some poor assumptions and bad administrative decisions. Basically unacceptable.

Anyway, I have not been to WUDI in over a week. Went to Kangaroo practice today. Team is shaping up. We did a pretty sweet basic continuation stack drill. Also we have deep threats. I love deep threats.

Kids at camp are really getting into ultimate. We had one kid who last year as a third grader had a college level forehand and he is back and better than ever. Also, a lot of his friends are getting into frisbee and are mastering the forehand. Sweet.

If we had a kids team we'd crush other camps.
