Ultimate?

I played alot of ultimate frisbee when I was in high school, and short of what most people believe, it's actually a very physically demanding sport. It's all cardio. There's no down time aside from throw offs. But you can easily go 20-30 minutes with no one scoring, and you're constantly moving. It's very tactical if you have people that are serious about it, and mapping out plays isn't uncommon.

The general recreational version of ultimate frisbee is nonetheless a bunch of people running in circles throwing around a frisbee, but when you find some serious folk like the kids I went to high school with, it's actually quite the game.

Competitive ultimate is impressive, and strategy and plays is definitely what it is about. However, my exposure has led to me thinking everyone only runs one setup with the "stack" and a "handler" blah blah blah.

But I agree with you that casual ultimate frisbee players are usually not the best athletes and they tend to be somewhat elitist about "their" sport.

I just think you have trouble getting along with other people mel.

The inevitable Youtube highlight films of "great" Ultimate moments are far too pretentious.

Ultimate Frisbee - ehhhhh, OK I'll give it to ya

shorten it to:
Ultimate! - Fuck Off.

UF(risbee)C meets UF(ighting)C - mix some of the guys up and see what happens.

Better still UFFC - teams of Ultimate Fighters play full contact frisbee in a large, outdoor, steel cage - now THAT would be a sport involving a frisbee. If it were shown on Fox the frisbee would glow on the screen...

good to know it isn't just me.

And although you might be quite correct RD, I think it is only because everyone else sucks. I suspect that you and I would probably have a lot of fun sitting around mocking the rest of the world......
