Happy Birthday: Amit and the Beast

Amit Peled, FPA’s Future Jammer winner, turns 14 years old today. Happy Birthday, Amit! What is on Amit’s birthday list? Freestyle nails. Amit is yearning for some Matt Nails or Yarnails. Can we hook him up?

Steve Hays aka The Beast was also born on this day. Way more than 14 years ago. I’m not sure what’s on the Beast’s birthday list, but it probably includes a fine lager and some finer z’s. Can anyone hook him up? Happy Birthday, Beast!

Non solo Freestyle (lezione 1∞)

Prima di Viareggio vi avevo ìraccomandatoî di andarvi a vedere una partita di Ultimate. Dubito che anche solo ìcol pensieroî vi siate allontanati dalla ìgrey carpetî (ammetto: neanche io ce l ‘ho fatta: solo di sfuggita ho visto, da lontano, qualche meta dei ragazzi riminesiÖ.)

VabbË i tempi erano davvero ìristrettiî, per cui voglio immaginare che ìsoloî per questo l’ultimate Ë rimasto in piena ìisolationî (per dirla come una delle strategie tipiche dell’ultimate, appunto).

Rankings: October 2004

The long-delayed open and women’s October rankings are now online. On September 13, burglars broke into my home and stole many things, including the computer that housed the rankings spreadsheet. Luckily, I had a backup of the pre-Worlds rankings, but I still had to reconstruct most of the summer season before compiling October’s list.

There are a lot of rankings changes this month. Players at Jam & Go and the European Championships grabbed bundles of points, while American players mostly lost points as the 2002 Jammers Championships, California Freestyle Championships and Tampico all fell off the list. The only US points came from the Tennessee States and the Santa Cruz Open.
