    Another Incredible Week in Taiwan, Special Thanks to Kuan Chen 

    AJ - Kuan ChenAnother Incredible Week in Taiwan, Special Thanks to Kuan Chen for taking care of us the entire time and always being such a great friend!! He was there from the second that we arrived in Taiwan to the second that we departed. He runs an outstanding Tournament as I only wish that many Tournaments in the United States could do it as well as the Asia Open as far an organization and preparation for a Disc Golf Event. Please support Kuan because he is really making great things happen for Disc Golf throughout Asia!!

    Congrats again to Ken Climo for playing extremely well to win the 2013 Asia Open Disc Golf Championships, he played insane all weekend!! No one on the Planet could have beat him this weekend as he birdied 68% of the holes with only one course bogey for the tournament, even when we were battling back to get close he then threw an Ace!! He is obviously known for being a Phenomenal World-Class Player but he proved again that he can even shred with the 160-Class Discs as well.

    It’s been an Incredible 2012!! Thank you to all Disc Golf Players, Fans, Friends and Family for your continued Support throughout another Season of Disc Golf!!

     

    I would also like to thank all of my Excellent Sponsors throughout the year that have made it possible for me to continue to do what I do for a Living…traveling the World, playing and spreading the word of Disc Golf!!

     

    So there has been a lot of sponsorship speculations throughout the off season, with lots of Players taking on other avenues in the Sport and moving on with other Disc Companies. With that being said, I will remain loyal and continue to throw for Innova Champion Discs and DiscMania Discs as they have supported my career for past 12+ years!!

     

    As I still believe that they have the Biggest Influence and Promotion of all Disc Companies, greatly increasing the exposure rate of Disc Golf throughout the World!!

     

    I’m also currently looking forward to…  READ MORE

    The Gods of Disc – Epic Trick Shot Battle 3 

     

    I hope many of you have already watched “The Gods of Disc — Epic Trick Shot Battle 3? on YouTube. It features ultimate superstar Brodie Smith and myself performing outrageous throws into basketball hoops and disc golf baskets. If you haven’t, you need to watch this video before reading how it all came about.

    This started last fall after I read a Twitter post from a good friend of mine, Jarrod Job, comparing Brodie Smith and myself in regard to our relevance in our respective sports. I responded, showing my appreciation for Smith’s Frisbee skills, but I questioned what he had for throwing distance shots — in hopes of eliciting a response from Smith.

    Twitter Post
    Twitter Post by Jarrod Job
    For those who don’t know Smith, he’s a world-class ultimate player from Gainsville, Florida. He played for the two-time National Champion Florida Gators and is well-known for his outrageously entertaining Frisbee trick-shot videos on YouTube.I’ve watched many of his trick-shot videos and I was thoroughly impressed by his never-ending energy and his amazing Frisbee skills. He also does a great job making these videos entertaining by calling out shots before making them and making funny comments to add to the entertainment value.

    I remember the first time I watched one of Smith’s videos last year where he attempted — and completed — about 25 different throws into a plastic trash can from various heights and distances. He took multiple lines and made it all look very easy!

    Being we are both extremely active on social networks, we communicated for several months and talked about the possibility of doing a trick-shot video together as I’m pretty good with a Frisbee, considering I have been throwing one since I was a kid. I also played ultimate at the University of Oregon for two years. Being we are both at the pinnacle of our respective sports, we knew we needed to make this happen, but he was in Florida and I was training in Santa Cruz for the winter. That made it difficult to make the connection. We decided to wait for a more convenient time so we could possibly meet up during the summer tour.

    A few weeks later, he sent me his most recent video — a speed-boat trick shot he performed in Sydney, Australia. Smith threw a distance forehand shot off a bridge as a speedboat raced down the river. On the boat was an ultimate player, who did a full-extension dive, making the catch before landing in the water. I saw it on the first day it was released and it had about 250 views, so I made sure to post it all over Facebook in the hopes of getting him more views.
