On Friday 22nd September, Joe and John appeared in front of millions on UK national television channel BBC 1. They appeared in popular sports entertainment quiz show ‘A Question Of Sport’; a program that has been running for over 35 years, during which time many of the world’s biggest sporting personalities have taken part. The format of the show
involves two rival teams, each consisting of three sportspeople, competing via a series of interactive rounds and varying styles of questions.
One of the quiz’s most-loved segments, entitled ‘Mystery
Guest’, has the teams trying to work out the identity of a top sporting star, who appears in a video clip, participating in an activity unrelated to their own sport. In Friday’s episode, this segment involved cricketing legend Sir Viv Richards trying his hand at Freestyle Frisbee! The clip first featured John and Joe demonstrating a plethora of freestyle Co-Ops and moves. Then Sir Viv strolls into the clip, and, courtesy of Joe and John, is taught some of the basics of freestyle (with a spinjammer, mind)!

2006 Viareggio Rocky Horror Beach Show!
Viareggio – 23 e 24 September 2006 aka “The Rocky Horror Beach Show”!
At the Burla Beach Cup 2006 , there was a freestyle tournament too.
Viareggio was the last appointment of this summer: and only a few players there were, and I’m sad for this…
Because those who were in Viareggio had a great time, great play, and a special, really special event!
We were in 7 + 1 (+1 is ME!), in Viareggio:
Clay Collerá
Ale Collerá
Fabio Sanna
Eleonora Imazio
Andrea Rimatori
Fabrizio Gori
Gianluca Bertoncelli
Fabrizio and Gianluca are 2 new freestylers we haven’t ever seen before:
Gianluca from Bologna (he will play with Manuel and AlÏ!!!) and Fabrizio from Padova.
They were with their girl-friends, two lovely girls very nice and funny: and we spent all the time together.
With a so little number of players, we can to do the SuperPro, a special tournement created by Clay Collerá, very strong, a mix of Open, Shred and Alone.
Gianluca had an injury to his knee after the 1∞ shred…sigh! But he stayed with us all the tournament, so, for us, was like he participated too…
Fabrizio is a very new player and with emotion he played at his 1∞…carpet. After 2 days of freestyle, at the end of week-end he played a lot better.
The big surprise is Ale: he played very well, with concentration…and he helped an Ultimate team too! After that, he has decided to play Ultimate and try to do some athletic preparation with a team from ForlÏ named 45 Giri. We will see…And Ale won his first prize for the Spirit of the game. He was so happy and emotionated about it!
The title of the tournement was ìThe Rocky Horror Beach Showî…and Clay, Fabio, Eleonora and Ale made a show, the Saturday night, before the crazy night dance…
A fantastic show, with crazy dressed, and black eyes, and great play…
A funny parody about ultimate too, and change of couple, and music, and…
At the end, Ultimate players was CRAZY for them!
And the day after too, a lot of ultimate players came to the Grey carpet to make their congratulation and take information about freestyle, nails, ecc.
We made a crazy party: we danced, and danced, and danced…and around us there were funny people dreesed like Rocky Horror picture Show… sexy, alternative, ahem…extreme.
We had a very great party, oh yesssssssssssssssss!
The organization was very lovely with us:
They stopped ultimate announcements and music for us, and they didn’t want the fee from the freestylers. We had food, water, party free, 2 fantastic gifts for all, and prize in money…
After the finals, all us we ate together around the table of judges: 10 persons, over the freestyle tent, to think about the great feeling and time we had together. A little malinconic time too:
Because was the last tournament of our incredible summer: probably one of the most wonderful summer of our life…
But malinconia is just a fly of a butterfly, for freestylers: because in few minutes there were on the carpet to play, and play and play.
Thanks, Paul Bernier, thanks to his staff, thanks to the players there were in Viareggio, we had another unforgettable tournement.
See you the next year!

Judge This – Video #2
The first “judge this” video spawned a lively discussion, so you about another? Z Weyand chose a different clip from the same 2003 FPAW Semifinals routine. Same deal this time. The video (7mb, mov) shows 30 seconds of freestyle. Think about the two scores you would give if you were using the current FPA judging system. Award your score when the video shows MARK.

2006 Indian Summer
The resurrection of Indian Summer coincided with what else but…indian summer. Two 80+ degree days and a sweet wind on Sunday were heaven for the freestylers.
The competition used the pinball judging system, which rewards a mix of difficulty and hitting specific bonus moves during a routine. Three bonus moves were worth up to five points each, depending on the quality shown. Three super bonus moves were worth either 5 points or 0 points. If you did the move successfully, you got 5. Otherwise, zippo. Add a difficulty mark from 1-10 to get each team’s finals score.
For the pro division, bonus points were given out for a roll to a teammate’s catch, a brushing run and an aerial catch. Super bonuses were given out for a footbrush, a multiple spinning catch and a turnover.
For the amateur division, bonuses were given for a tipping combo, an airbrush to a catch, and a nail delay. Super bonuses were given for a bodyroll, a footbrush and any trick catch besides a UTL or THE.
The final Pro results shook out like this:
1. Skippy Jammer/Arthur Coddington (31.4 points)
2. Greg Riley/Scott Weaver (25.6)
3. Mark Regalbuti/Carolyn Yabe (25.5)

World Rankings – September 2006
Believe it or not, the September world rankings (Open and Women) are done. I know. You weren’t expecting these until December, but I am full of surprises.
No big article this time except to say thanks to Flo Hess for playing with me at Jam & Go Cologne. Playing together was a wonderful experience, and a big bonus is that you helped me earn enough points to jump back up into the Top 10. Thanks!
