Wintershred 2004 – Story And Pictures
Sunny skies and steady breezes graced San Francisco’s Ocean Beach on March 6 during the third annual Wintershred. Overall it was a great day of jamming and celebrating spin with a stellar group of shredaholics. Unfortunately, there was also a dose of bad news as two competitors, Mike Esterbrook and Arthur Coddington, both suffered moderate knee injuries. Both appeared to be sprains, and we all hope and pray that they will be back playing soon.

Ouch! My Knee Hurts!
Yesterday I experienced what may be the worst injury of my freestyle career. Only about a minute into playing Wintershred with Greg Riley, I leapt for a brush and came down wrong. Very wrong. My knee moved in a direction it was not designed to move. I have had plenty of injuries – sprains, tendinitis, even broken bones – but nothing felt as wrong as that landing.
Freestylin’ in the U.K !!
Myself (Johninho) and my freestyle partner (Joe ‘The Flow’) both live in the U.K. We are really into the sport and really enjoy playing. However, we do not know of any freestyle activity in the U.K (e.g tournaments we can enter, other top players, flying disc shops etc.). If you know of any freestyle activity in the U.K PLEASE let us know !!! It would be greatly appreciated.

Rankings: February 2004
The February Open and Women’s ranking lists show that the freestylers who competed at Jamie Chantiles’ random pairs event in San Diego were the first to benefit from the bigger ranking point scales introduced for 2004.
Discs With Domes For Learning Delays
I am totally green to this sport and looking at the Pros Freestylin’ & Jammin’ a disc like as if the disc is stuck to their fingers is amazing!!!
I have came across instructional sites that have briefly mentioned about freestyling discs having sort of a "ring" in the center on the underside of the disc for better guidance while Spinning.
How true is this? If true, which manufacturer/model of disc has this?
As I am very new to this, I would think this might help me learn to spin at the beginner’s level.
Please help!
Spike Wins 2004 San Diego Round Robin
Jamie Chantiles hosted the first event of 2004, an experimental-format round robin pairs event in San Diego on January 25.
By random draw, six players were teamed with a different pairs partner over five competition rounds. The idea was to play with a variety of teams and have the opportunity to create routines with short-lead time. According to Chantiles, the format “is an excellent way to promote the sport in a public area, while honing your skills.”
The final standings reflect each athlete’s performance over all five rounds. World number 2 and current open pairs world champion Dave “Spike” Lewis lived up to his ranking by taking the title. Peter Laubert, known as one of the best at conceiving effective routines, followed in second, with 2002 open pairs world champ Joel Rogers in the third spot.
The Final Standings:
1. Dave Lewis
2. Peter Laubert
3. Joel Rogers
4. Tom Gleason
5. Jamie Chantiles
6. Ami Lewis
