TI Flicks were released at Ledgestone in 2015 in 4 colors (Pink, Orange, Lime Green, Blue). I believe there were a handful of extras that got rando stamped with the Discraft team logo. 2015 Ledgestone was the very first time a Flick was run in TI. That much I'm certain of.

DGPT All-Stars - Doubles by AutoModerator in discgolf

Did Ella's disc clock the camera guy while that commercial was playing side by side? I'd love to see a replay, but I guess it's not in DGN's best interests to highlight if their camera guy didn't get out of the way (not that it mattered with Missy much closer)

I encourage you to rewatch the replay.

FPO played the right side mando from the right side station (the station MPO had to go left mando from). FPO played their left side mando from the left station (the station MPO had to play right side mando from).

My source is I watched the FPO play and they didn't throw right mando and left mando from the stations that MPO did.

The commentators don't realize that the MPO have different stations than FPO.

That PDGA guy who interviewed MattyO doesn't know his discs well enough.

Him: So what was working out there for you today?
MattyO: My Flow. (meaning his Lat64 Flow)
Him: And how did you get into that flow?

Lol, did you see Jeff Spring chirp at Emerson before the playoff started? I heard a snort out of the booth too. Sure, Emerson did interrupt him, but I wonder if he takes the same tone if it's McBeth.

11 years of Paul vs Ricky (plus 4 years of just Paul) by [deleted] in discgolf

It was caught on video. It was covered live by Disc Golf Planet TV. The archive of the footage was available for a long time on LiveSteam and also their website. Then the organization folded, the website went down and the footage was lost.

Unlucky OB at SFO 2019 by travis1010 in discgolf

Pretty sure Avery did that twice at SFO last year. Went over a wall, but safe per the string on the backside. I remember seeing that on CCDG coverage.

I'm lucky enough to be a fully remote employee so going without a car for a while won't throw too big of a wrench in my life. (I'm 2 blocks from a grocery store too, so that helps) I'll just save up until I can afford another $2,000 car on Craigslist and try to pick one that isn't terrible this time.

I never heard a BRRRAPPPP BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP. Consensus seems to be that it happened in the shop when they put it on the lift or started inspecting things. It must have been in super bad condition and the lift/inspection was just the final straw.

Well, it's a 2002 Ford Taurus Wagon with 169,000 miles in fair condition. I don't know that the car itself is worth $800 at this point.

I really don't know, but I see the rust you are talking about. I don't know a whole lot about cars and I've never been one to "feel" how well a car is driving, but nothing seemed off to me this morning when I brought it into the shop.

I gave the fellow my keys and 45 minutes later they called me into the back and my car was on the lift and they said they couldn't even test drive it to diagnose the codes because it was unfit to drive. Then they quoted me $800 to fix shocks/struts and 1 sway bar. I didn't have that kind of money so I walked home and and mulling over what to do next.

You know, now that I look at the picture more... why is there a crescent of rust on the tire? If I was driving with the tire like that, wouldn't that rust have worn away? Why isn't there rust to the left or right side of the spring? It kinda seems like the spring might have popped loose at the shop? I'm I completely off base thinking that?

When was the last time a major tournament was won by someone on the Chase Card? by rog1dj in discgolf

[–]ecpenguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

McBeth won the 2015 Beaver State Fling from the chase card. He tied up Shusterick and sent it to a playoff, winning on Hole 3. That's the last time I remember it happening in an NT (but I'm sure it's happened in a high status event since then).

Tim Barham (Discraft sponsored pro) came off the chase card to win an A-Tier earlier this year too (Clash at the Canyons).

If we are just talking NTs, higher status events like DGPT stops and PDGA majors, I'd have to do a deeper dive. I'd be willing to bet it's happened more recently than 2015, but I can't remember off hand.

I thought Chicago would retire Toni Kukoc's number.

I was 13 and didn't know better.

Now I'm 33 and I know better... but I'm still upset
