New ZMachines

In 1992, JT Thorne showed his first disc spinning contraption, the Disc Popper. A few years later, he introduced the ZMachine, a portable training device that allowed freestylers to spin discs at high speed then lift them into a delay. The patented invention was an immediate hit. New players could get the feel for a delay instantly. Experienced players loved the superhuman spin produced by the ZMachine and used it to learn difficult technical moves and attempt longer, previously impossible combinations.

The ZMachine was out of production for a while, but Thorne is back with a new design and is taking orders for new ZMachines at zmachine.com.

Dave Schiller Sweeps 2004 World Beach Invitational

Last month, Pipo Lopez and Toddy Brodeur won the Jammers Championship in Florida. This month, Pipo traveled to the West Coast, teamed up with Dave Schiller and won the World Beach Invitational in Ventura, California for his second big win in a row. The man is on a roll.

Meanwhile, Dave Schiller swept the Open Pairs and Mixed Pairs titles as he and wife Amy defeated Dave Lewis and Cindy Kruger in the Mixed final. Schiller hasn’t traveled much in the past few years because of injuries and other commitments, but he has won nearly every competition he has entered. There is no arguing that he is still at the top of the game and is a furious competitor.
