Word of the Day – “Skillet”

Jam Report

  By

On a warmish late February night the Portland jam crew put on long sleeves and jam pants and headed out for a lighted basketball court jam directly after work. We broke out a nice rasta disc and sacrificed it to the court. The wind was terrible. The catches were few but the jam was fun. I hit maybe no good combos the whole night. I was struggling with the conditions while everyone else got hein in spite of the weird light and choppy wind. Everybody was bumping and running and making impeccable decisions on the fly. Jake hit a twisto set to a gitus pull and then everybody else had to try. We all missed the try but admitted it was pretty bad ass. It’s time to think about coming to Portland if you haven’t made the trip yet. Have you considered the Super Hein?

Jam Report

It was sunny and 59 F so Lori and I opted for an out door jam. We parked down town and walked over to Water Front Park. The wind was wild, shifting and puffing, but it didn’t slow us down. We hit multiple spins, sweet passes, and a hot catches. I pulled off a behind the back guide. Lori pulled off an indigenous catch from her own restricted set for move of the day. We turned a few heads and even got a couple guys to play catch with us to finish up our jam. Gotta love the Portland vibe!

Jam Report – The Second Frizbeer Jam 2010

  By

Despite the cold, we had an itch. So, we piled into Dexter’s van and went to a square in old town. It was The Beast, Paul Kenny, Ryan Young, Matteo Gadoni, Spike (Matteo’s dog), and I. When we arrived Pavel was already shredding. The scene was intense. Large, square tiles with patches of ice, surround by buildings and tunnels. To our left, a railing shielded the road down below. We were freezing so we immediately started to jam…Ryan in shorts! The jam was hot. At one point Beast was on a brushing run with Pavel. He made a big catch and was so fired up that he threw the disc over the railing and into the road. Which Frisbee law is that? As the sun went down Jakub & Jakub showed up and added their vibe, with big gitis and bad attitudes. Lights came on and the building began to freeze. As we ran, we would inevitably approach an ice pile and someone would yell “ICE!” Then came, move of the day. Jakub hit a chest roll that sent him to the ice. There was a yell, and then a gitis. He nailed it with grace and hardly slipped at all. These guys must play in the ice all the time. Luckily for the foreigners we have a gym for the rest of the week. Jam on!
