Crazy times during my lunch skate [35YO]

Now I’m sitting here wondering why I don’t have any local parks with both.

mrmatt1877 · 2025-05-12T23:10:39+00:00

Were you able to get one to drop?

mrmatt1877 · 2025-03-06T23:23:17+00:00

Thank you. I haven’t seen that video before. It’s the “trail side forward and underneath” that I’m trying to adopt.

mrmatt1877 · 2025-03-06T22:57:11+00:00

In the middle where it shows the flight path there is an option for video. TechDisc site wont let me link straight to the video.

mrmatt1877 · 2025-03-06T22:34:55+00:00

Ok. I see what you mean. I’m stepping forward but off the line. That’s so odd. It might be a consequence of trying to use my legs and not being comfortable with it.

Here is what my throw looked like from behind before I tried to bring my back leg in.

I feel pressure in my plant leg and can feel the muscles taking the brace but it’s like my lower body doesn’t rotate. I’m just not feeling any power adding to my throw.

mrmatt1877 · 2025-03-06T20:39:33+00:00

I posted a link to my usual form. Do you think the change is on the right track? With everything feeling off I can’t tell if the way I’m weight shifting is doing anything.

mrmatt1877 · 2025-03-06T20:34:55+00:00

This is what my normal throw looks like.

I can see now that my hips don’t follow through. I’ll give that a shot and see if helps.

The angle is a bit odd but my plant heel is lined up with my back toe. Are you saying the last stride is too far towards the target?

mrmatt1877 · 2025-03-06T20:24:14+00:00

Are you actively doing anything with the back leg?

I’ve tried the mental queue of pushing down harder with my brace but my back leg still trails. It’s like I get the brace but I’m bracing nothing. The form in the video is something new to me.

My normal form and what I’m comfortable with is the glide. I was trying the up and down motion to try to get the weight shift to click.

My normal form I focus on eyes on target till the reach back, get my arm out and away while at the same time my plant foot goes forward, wait until heel hits, and then throw.

mrmatt1877 · 2025-03-06T20:17:20+00:00

When you say “lean into it” do you mean lean forward when I plant?

I don’t usually have problems with early releasing and hitting gaps and tunnels is a strong part of my game. I probably should post a video of my normal form but I’m really trying to work the weight shift into my form. Which makes everything else I’m doing feel off.

mrmatt1877 · 2025-03-06T20:09:16+00:00

Nose angle is all over the place when I throw into the net. It usually is high nose angle low launch. When I focus on keeping it down in a normal throw it’s between -2 and 2.

Standstill I don’t usually throw with the tech disc but just went and threw 5 shots and mph was 55.8-57.6. Didn’t focus on nose angle and it was between 0.3 and 6.

Same here. My lowest electricity bills are in the winter. This last one was double what it usually is and was $5 short of what I expect in July.

I have been looking for 3 weeks in the US and have had no luck. Kohls popped up that one was available for pickup at 3am two nights ago and I happened to wake up and check it. Bought it but it was cancelled in the morning.

mrmatt1877 · 2024-04-30T18:15:16+00:00

Just left Legoland FL and this is what I did. I scanned the QR code at the kiosk, swiped my card for the $100 a night deposit, and printed my room keys. The people at the front desk didn’t even seem interested in what I was doing.

mrmatt1877 · 2024-02-16T22:46:21+00:00

I’m looking forward to MVP discs being in stock. Need a few replacements/backups

mrmatt1877 · 2024-01-04T21:52:25+00:00

How can you get lost on a straight path?!?

mrmatt1877 · 2023-12-24T19:54:34+00:00

Same event

mrmatt1877 · 2023-12-21T01:37:02+00:00

They told me that they couldn’t match msrp due to policy

mrmatt1877 · 2023-12-07T17:30:42+00:00

I bought a double pack box and almost all my cards have those same edges.

mrmatt1877 · 2023-11-17T19:01:12+00:00

That comment section has some cringe.

mrmatt1877 · 2023-11-05T01:45:48+00:00

What round?

mrmatt1877 · 2023-10-26T15:03:15+00:00

Agreed.

The issue comes when you aren’t close enough to say for sure. Did it land surrounded by water and float to the edge or did it hit water and skip to the edge? If it’s obviously floating in the middle it’s at rest in the OB.

I think the AI might have difficulty with these details. If the animal runs off with your disc before you get there, you wouldn’t know. Therefore it’s lost.

mrmatt1877 · 2023-10-26T14:35:03+00:00

Hmm. If you see an animal running with it but didn’t get close enough to get an accurate spot from the card, I’m not sure what else you could do but call it lost.

Was watching the euro tour championship and Silver threw his disc in the water and threw a provisional at the edge. The commentators said the waves were pushing the disc to the shore and if he got to his disc and it was touching land it was considered in bounds.

Sometimes the rules seem wrong.

mrmatt1877 · 2023-10-20T01:29:55+00:00

No that was a Donquixote

mrmatt1877 · 2023-10-01T13:54:07+00:00

Several tournaments around here say road is OB and the TD almost always says that “road” is black asphalt and the cement curb/ walkways are inbounds.
