There has been a big buzz recently about Wham-O’s renewed interest in the sports side of Frisbee. Wham-O has just launched a new website just for Frisbee – frisbeedisc.com. Until this website, Frisbee was only a small part of the main Wham-O site and was a bit hemmed in by Wham-O’s toy image. Frisbeedisc.com seems to give Wham-O more freedom to promote Frisbee as the edgy, athletic activity it is. The site showcases not only the redesigned Frisbee line and improved brand imagery, but also the disc sports we love. Looks good.

Viva Italia

It warms my heart to see the sport doing so well in Europe. The VIBE seems like the NAS Tour of late 70s/early 80s here in the USA. Congratulations to all the new players. Steve Hanes and I were there in spirit with you all and wish we could have played in Rimini. Jam on it! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZs for all. Jamie
