FFFF 2013 (Pohořany u Olomouce)



Despite change of the place due to big floods, at least the dogfrisbee competition of this year's Fun Factory For Frisbee has taken its place and attracted around forty teams.


Warm, mostly sunny weather enabled nice event and the very mild Saturday wind allowed indeed brilliant freestyle performances.



I am personally glad for participation and our ``achievements." Though they might seem mediocre (see below), both the throws and catches have significantly improved since the last event and the boys have shown several nice jumps among usual ``crashes." So no more excuses that it is impossible to land nicely ;).



Thanks to Lucka & Miguel for a nice event, that they haven't given up to the weather and for and introduction to KanJam. And a special thank goes to Míša with Kim & Anička with Jesse and Come for a pleasant company in the car =).

How to release a backhand?

A frequently asked question is ``why my disk always turn right?" Or even more frequently: ``my dogs(s) would be keen on frisbee but I can't throw well." Hopefully, this picture could be of a partial answer. Or an encouragement ;).

Path of your disk depending on the initial angle. Right--handed person is assumed; left--handed people are kindly asked to use a mirror ;).
 The correct angle depends on the speed, your movements and a whole bunch of other quantities, so it still requires you to experiment a bit to discover it =). Of course, if you don't want your disk to fly directly but to turn, you adjust the angle accordingly.

If you'd like to share the picture with your friends, it is already at Facebook, both on the profile of Barnabáš and Rufík.

Fitmin DDFW 2013 (Klášterec nad Orlicí)

First competition after the winter break, first pictures and first promises to be throwing more carefully next time =).

I adjusted camera wrongly, so only a few pics are reasonable, see below. If you want some of them in higher definition, let me know.


DogDartbee:

Barnabáš 120, Rufík 160, for semi 180 were necessary. Ranking 13th and 24th out of 33, pleased.

Super Mini Distance:

Barnabáš 11, Rufík 13.5, 28th and 34th of 36, close to shame =).

    I think, it could be helpful to save you from extensive googling by listing the events happening around this year ;). Please, let me know, if I've omitted something important.

    At lest some new photos

    Some photos have been found in the camera ;).
    One to carry the ball, one to smile around =).
    ``See the ball? Try to catch it ;)."
    ``Have you heard that too? Was that a snow--squirrel?"
    ``I look funny with the ball too =)."
    A LOT of snow.
    Jumping rather than just running =).

    Some 2012 autumn pics

    Some yet unpublished pictures have been discovered in the computer, so you may please your eyes by watching 'em ;).

    Late autumn in Břevnov
    A wise look
    My left ear stands a bit, so you may have a brief look inside =).
    Monkey see -- monkey do.

    I have also been sent some pictures from Lahovice =).

    A really tall ``Choďák", as seen by Lubomír Vičan

    Rufík uses the Ultimate Frisbee style, i.e. running below the disc and then trying to catch that ... well to do so with his mouth is untrivial =). (photo by Lubomír Vičan)

    For the webpage to look cool, also a pic with some diplomas is a must. Note, that Barnabáš is humble and does not seem to be enjoying the shooting (by Lubomír Vičan)
