Ultimate Frisbee Disappointment

[Talkiet]

And ecstasy...

I was going through my photos from the 2008 World Champs in Vancouver and was trying to get some inspiration for some more emotive, less action type images.

As it turns out, I think the major thing killing me at the moment is that in New Zealand there really isn't the same passion at the events - that is, we're all friends really - and there's no massive pressure most of the time.

At world however, it's another story...

These 3 images were taken just after Canada beat the USA for the Open final in 2008.

There are thousands.

I'm also going to be at Prague for the World Club Champs in July this year and am starting to get myself psyched up for it.

I'd love to see what others have done with the non-action side of Ultimate.

Ill be honest with you...

I didnt know Ultimate Frisbee was a serious sport. I like the third shot you posted though.

Ultimate frisbee can get intense! We have a club at my school and it's mostly soccer and cross country/track kids, and it's a freaking good workout. It gets me in better shape than cross country practice does. And yeah, it can get physical.
