Turkey Jam
Calling all NorCal jammers.There will be a jam on November 28th, 12:00p at Sonoma State University. Jake, Lori, Matt, and Lisa will be in attendance. This is the fifth? annual Turkey Jam. It will be a veritable shred fest. Plus, there will be an after adventure to Weaver’s Winter Wonder Land. Be there, or be square. A disc is round, round is better.
Still not sure? Here’s the video from 2007.
Returning From Beach Styler’s
What can I say? Dave and Amy know how to throw a tournament. They ordered up the perfect wind, sun, and tides for the weekend. Couple that with some of the heinest jammers and you have a recipe for a fabulous time. A few memorable moments in the jam: Larry’s 4 consecutive crow brushes, Chip’s leg over chest roll, so many hoops, jammin’ on the sand bar where Amy caught everything, OB regulars who just keep going, and a one on one death jam with Dave Murphy that almost took me down! Thanks Dave and Amy for a wonderful time. For the full report, read Dave’s post on Jammers on the net.
By the way, there was a mischievous day after jam…but I’ll save that for another post.
Lisa Hunrichs in the Portland Tribune
“The Tribune talked flying discs with Hunrichs, who’s also executive director of the Freestyle Players Association.”
Tribune: How much a part of your life is Frisbee?
Hunrichs: I would say it’s a major part of my life. I don’t think about Frisbee moves every day, but in the summer life is geared toward when are we going to “jam.”
Falling into Freestyle by Kerry Kollmar
Kerry Kollmar recounts how he began playing Frisbee in the ’70s and how he discovered the nail delay and the air brush. WOW! This was posted a few months back, but I just saw it. It filled me with nostalgia for our roots and pride to be a part of such a wonderful sport and community. It’s a very fun read. Thanks, Kerry. Full Article
