Maybe you have seen someone throw a disc high in the air so it flies back to them like a boomerang. Seems impossible, but if you can throw to your friend, you can do a boomerang throw.

Throw To Yourself: The Self-Throw
If you can throw the disc to yourself, you can practice even when your friends aren’t around to play. Your friends will never
get you the perfect throw every time. By throwing to yourself, you can give yourself the perfect throw every time. Next time
you play with your friend, you will know all sorts of new tricks when that perfect throw flies toward you.
The Basic Catches
There are three basic catches: the Alligator Catch, the Two Hand Catch and the One Hand Catch.
That Dang Disc Won’t Fly Straight
It’s frustrating to play catch and not be able to throw the disc to your friend. It tips over and rolls away. It veers off in random directions. The wind catches it and blows it backwards over your head. Normally fun-loving people find themselves dreading the question “Wanna toss the Frisbee?”
Lewis/Coddington On Eurosport
In the summer of 2003, Eurosport’s WATTS show ran a three minute segment on freestyle, a music video featuring behind-the-scenes footage of the Nike commercial and jam footage of Dave Lewis and Arthur Coddington shot by Z Weyand. Edited to Linkin Park’s “One Step Closer” this music video style piece has aired several times and won a viewer poll for favorite WATTS segment.

Are You Ready To Shred
For many freestylers, individual competitions do not mesh with the throw/catch origins of freestyle flying disc. How can you play “true” freestyle without another player to throw to you, to feed off of, to co-op with?
Inevitably when speaking to fans or the media, the question comes up: who’s the best player? Everyone has their opinions on who the best jammers were/are, and who the best competitive teams were/are, but until now the sport hasn’t had a way to determine who the best individual player is on a given day. Turboshred attempts to do that.
