One Handed Self Backhand Throw
Ryan Young explains how to throw yourself a backhand throw with lots of spin. This is used to practice your nail delay tricks.
The Seven Stages of the Center Delay
Stage 1: Flat Self Throw
Stage 2: Soft Take
Stage 3: Rim Delay
Stage 4: Changing the Angle on purpose
Stage 5: Using the Angle Change to Get Back to the Center
Stage 6: Consistently Getting Back to the Center
Stage 7: Full Center Delay Control
The Center Nail Delay by Ryan Young
Ryan Young shows us the center nail delay from the perfect perspective, Make little circles to keep the disc balanced.
Digitronic Skid
Here I demonstrate the digitronic skid, sometimes called the “skididge”.
With clock spin, start by getting the disc on a center, invert delay on your left hand. Then, let it tip to the rim. As the disc drags toward your wrist twist your upper body and shoulder to the right. As you reach your twisting limit kick you right leg up. As you leg reaches its max height, push your arm left to propell the disc under your lifted leg. Aim towards your calf or ankle. Often, my wrist or lower for arm will run into my knee. This should send the disc under your leg with enough force to reach a partner. Or, in a good wind the disc will go out and come back to you for another restricted, against reception.
This move is both an against the spin rim shoot and a digitronic (cross body, inverted hand) maneuver.
Alien Birth Ritual
Matt Gauthier demonstrates how to do the Alien Birth Ritual. This move has become legend because it has an awesome name and because very few people can do it. In fact, very few people can even describe it.
It starts with a birth. However, you pivot on the “birthing leg” to extend the against the spin pull. Then you set it up and immediately pull a juice.
It took Matt two tries to do it for the video…hence the cut.
BTB Rim Swoop to a Body Roll
Lisa Hunrichs demonstrates a nice freestyle frisbee combo; the Behind the Back (BTB) rim swoop to a body roll (chest roll). This is a nice combo because the two tricks (BTB swoop and body roll) are performed consecutively.
Variations on an Under the Leg Catch
Here I describe various types of under the leg catches.
In one version you reach your arm under you leg to catch the disc.
In another version you swing your leg over the disc so that the disc travels under your leg while it is in flight. Then you catch it. James Wiseman would say this is technically a “the” catch since your hand is not restricted and it is not blind. However, I believe that the body mechanics and timing involved make this catch more difficult that the previous one.
