Variations on a Figure Four Set
Lisa Hunrichs demonstrates different types of figure four under the leg (UTL) sets: either setting flat from a center delay or setting on an angle using a rim delay.
While both of these tricks are challenging, there is certainly a higher level of center delay mastery required for the flat set. Then again, using the rim set can allow for consecutive tricks like going straight into a chest roll as Lisa demonstrates.

Hey, all. I will be live streaming FPAW 2015. Thanks to the support of the tournament staff. They are providing internet access at the event site so I can hook up my gear and bring the event to you.

This FPAW should prove to be one of the most exciting yet. It is taking place in Karlsruhe, Germany which is a hotbed of amazing players. And, the Karlsruhe team is known for throwing exciting and fun events. It shows as there are already 99 players registered, including 9 of the top 10 ranked players in the world. The team list is here. Who do you think will win?
Don’t miss the action. And, please share links to the broadcast on finals day. If we all pitch in, this can become the most viewed FPAW finals in history!
Invert Front Side 50/50 Roll
Matt Gauthier explains the invert front side 50/50 roll. This an advanced, and very technical trick.
With clockwise, the disc rolls up the right arm to the shoulder. Then the body is repositioned so the disc can continue to roll back down the right arm.
And, of course it’s all on the left arm with counter spin.
To start, face the wind. Turn your right shoulder towards the wind. Toss the disc on a steep roll angle. Move your right arm to your left with your palm facing up. Allow the disc to contact your palm and then roll up your arm towards your shoulder. As the disc reaches your shoulder, pivot your arm to your right and allow the disc to roll back down your right arm to your right hand.

The wind was strong, cold, and gusty but the top team was not deterred. Matt Gauthier and James Wiseman took first place, shredded up the field. At one point the wind puffs as Matt goes for a gitis. His solution? Use his knee on his extended leg to sub the disc down to his hand. Check out all the videos from the competition below.

Three Basic Trick Catches: Under the Leg, Chair, and Behind the Back
Ryan Young demonstrates three of the primary trick catches in Freestyle Frisbee: Under the Leg, Chair, and Behind the Back.
Under the leg (UTL) is where you reach under your leg with one hand to make the catch.
Chair if where you reach behind both ankles while in a seated position.
Behind the Back (BTB) is where you reach around behind your back.
To practice these catches it helps to string them together in a drill. Give yourself a light toss close to your body and then make an under the leg. Then quickly move to the Chair and then the Behind the Back. Also, be sure to catch and throw with both hands. This will ensure that no matter what spin this disc has and where it is you will have a trick catch that you can use to finishing your series of tricks.
