Is ultimate frisbee a lame sport?

[egokiller]

Yes or no?

[Prometheus]

Nah it's fun as shit.

[Meticode]

No.

[egokiller]

I can see how it

On defense, you're still running and catching...

From what I saw in the game I watched, someone would catch the bee and then a guy would flail his arms trying to prevent a pass which never worked due to simple fakes. The defenders looked helpless and each team was scoring with ease.

Ok but that's just the one dude defending the rock. Everyone else plays db

All I saw was completed passes and whomever was closest to the guy who caught it, flailing their arms looking helpless as more passes were completed. The process kept repeating. Maybe I need to watch more games, but from what I saw, the defense on both sides looked helpless based on the rule set of the game.

I honestly thought everyone with even a semblance of a social life had played the game at least once. No offense.

I've never played it nor have I overheard anyone talking about playing it within my vast social circles. Never once heard it mentioned while balling or waiting on the side lines for the next game. Maybe it's a regional thing like curling?

Has anyone else ever played this? ISH?

I need to find out where in Ohio this shit is going down at so that I can play it.

[Prometheus]

You know what, it probably is a regional thing, and I bet it goes in and out of style too. When I was in high school in Bucks County, that shit was extremely popular. Wouldn't be surprised if it phased out a few years after, or was never big in your hometown.

[egokiller]

Probably. Kind of like Bocce Ball and Croquet. :lol They sound lame as shit but are actually fun to play. Never having played ultimate frisbee I can say I would still prefer that over those other 2 options.

[Prometheus]

bocce ball is fun, and cornhole. fun games that are easy enough that you can do them with a girl

[Kblaze8855]

No.

In fact I

Ya, one offensive player surrounded by 4 defensive players and catching the rock each time and scoring. :lol

The most popular tech YouTuber MKBHD (Marques Brownlee) plays pro ultimate Frisbee. Dude is pretty athletic. I've played it, it's pretty fun and challenging.

I played on a club team for 4 years while in college, in upstate NY.

Very fun and challenging sport.

As far as the OP saying defense looked boring/pointless. I could see that being the case in perfect weather conditions with professional level players. As they say, good offense trumps good defense.

But factor in bad weather/the wind and you will have teams turning the frisbee over constantly. So defense is becoming offense in a split second.

The "layout D" is also one the most impressive moves that can be performed on the field. The is where you dive (layout) while blocking/catching the opponents pass. Then you can hop right up and chuck it down field for your own score.

:pimp:

What about frisbee golf?

:roll:

I've played frisbee golf about a dozen times... well... back in my 20s anyways... and I've never seen a more alcohol friendly and stoner friendly "sport." Rednecks down here were literally rolling around ice chests full of beer from hole to hole.

I still remember my introduction to this sport and the fact that it wasn't on a real course. We were at some get together in a condo development and the residents there would play using actual objects found in the era. Like hole 1, you had to hit this mailbox. Then the 2nd hole was a tree, 3rd hole was the back side of an electrical box... etc. Some were par 2, some par 3, and they even had a few par 4.

So here you have huge groups of people walking all around this complex playing frisbee golf like hitting shit with these bees like it was the norm. :lol Not gonna lie, it was fun as hell.
