    Listen, that yoyo is actually right, anyone can do what that guy did given enough time and effort. No respect or appreciation is neccessary or required on this board.

    But I would bet that he (guy in the video) would hit more hole-in-ones than your average joe. That is all I'm saying. I'm NOT saying he can go up against the pros tomorrow and hit a couple of h-n-1s. I am saying he has a lot better chance than most people new to the sport.

    And I would still take him on my team...tomorrow even. His approach and putting would be money in the bank.

    None of y'all on here could do those tricks so until I see a video of y'all doing it, shut up and respect.

    He plays ultimate frisbee and his name is Brodie. Shocker.

    The first syllable of his name is pronounced like "brah"

    Well, I have done some of them. A half court hammer of a backboard into a hoop is no more difficult than doing it with a basketball. Walking a wall with a forehand is not that difficult...the frisbee *wants* to do it...then it's just a matter of lining up the trash can. The pool skip is easy.

    If you think I'm disrespecting his throwing ability and amazing accuracy, well...I'm not.

    I'm just saying do not "respect" him so much that you disrespect golfers out there. What he is doing at less than 90 feet does not translate that well to hole-in-ones into a chain basket when diving hammers won't work nearly as well.

    I don't think anybody implied that, at least not from any of the posts I've seen so far. It's like saying a guy who does great basketball trick shots is great at basketball, so yes I do agree with you but the respect still goes for the trick shots.

    sorry I'm not into the "ultimate" lingo but what's a hammer?

    on that last video where they both hit back to back with the bball and frisbee from the rafters was sweet.

    A tomahawk throw is what we used to call it. I never liked the word "hammer." It's the over the head throw he makes. It's a very useful throw in Ultimate, because you can throw over the defense, but you have to have good "receivers" (which is not Ultimate lingo ;)) since it isn't the easiest throw to catch.

    oops, i read the title wrong.

    the way the guy looks at the camera like he is some kind of badass once the frisbee goes in is annoying. also basketball is played with a ball not a frisbee.

    the last one with the boat from bridge was nice.

    Have you seen the video of jets flying low? I was just showing it to my son and I thought this thread might be appropriate:

    I think he just had more fun with the speedboat one than difficulty; if he can throw the disc in a general area and the speed boat can steer there, the real accomplishment is the guy at the end. I guess to him the wind resistance and logistics of it are what make him happier it went off well.

    What movie and scene is that song from? Seem to remember it in a darker setting.

    Cause if you are a badass Ultimate guy ...you can fly a Hawker Harrier?

    Now if Brodie could knock down an F-18 Hornet doing a low fly-by, that would be sweet ...other than the death part ...or the part about wasting tax dollars ...but other than...sweet.
