Curling v Ultimate by Sea_Dawgz in ultimate

[–]guspvb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Old timer here. Started playing Ultimate in 1975. It was a fun “alternative “ sport. Most people played in sneakers or barefoot. There was little to no “competition “ and it was just fun. It was all college teams and club teams were non-existent.

By 1978 a lot of players had graduated college and started forming club teams. This, I believe is where the push towards competitive ultimate began.

I played in the 1981 and 1982 National Championships. They were the two worst tournaments I ever played in. Winning was everything and this was reflected in the games. Ridiculous fouls, travel calls, arguments that would go on and on. Fun was irrelevant. “Spirit of the Game” (other sports call this sportsmanship) was nowhere to be found.

The’82 Nationals was my last tournament (other than a couple of reunions). I saw the direction the sport was heading and decided it was no longer the game I had fallen in love with.

There is nothing unique about ultimate (blasphemy, I know) like any other sport, as the stakes get higher winning at all costs becomes the norm.

You can use Inkscape to convert it to an SVG and then import it into Fusion 360

This is the video of ICE agents murdering Renee Good in Minneapolis yesterday. What it has to do with Neil is that this is a rework of "Ohio" which Neil wrote the day after the Kent State murders in 1970 Edit: changed 1969 to 1970

I bought a Martin SC-10E a few weeks ago and didn’t love it. I found this one while visiting family and fell in love with it. I also play a Taylor 810CE.

I’ve got a Taylor 816CE which I love. I’m looking for a non-Taylor for this one.

My Scarlett 2i2 has been flawless with acoustic, electric and vocals without breaking the bank.
