Rimini Memories: FPAW2003

Indulge me for a bit. As I prepare for my fifth trip to Rimini and my third to Paganello, I find myself remembering my first trip. Watching the Secrets of Pro Disc Freestyle Volume 2 this week, I saw some footage I had never seen from the 2003 FPAW pairs final. Z’s footage. Fabio sent me his footage a long time ago, but I had not seen any other angles. There are just a few clips on Vol 2, but Z posted the whole thing (3 of the 4 minutes of the routine) on YouTube this week. Thanks Z.

Rimini is very special to me, mostly for the people I have met there and the friendships that deepen every time I return. It’s also special because of the 2003 FPAW pairs title Dave and I won there. It was the first FPA pairs title won in Europe, but more than that it was the competitive round I still consider our peak. Conditions were horrible. Pressure was on. And somehow we both found the zone.

Secrets of Pro Disc Freestyle Volume 2 RELEASED

Dave Lewis & Z Weyand have released Secrets of Pro Disc Freestyle Volume 2. I have a copy. It takes off where Volume 1 left off and covers a ton of advanced skills (spinning, against moves, skids, rolls, co-oping, and perhpas most importantly connectivity) and brings in guest instructors to teach their specialties. Great work Z & Dave! I’m scared and excited to see how good people will get after watching this DVD.
