Gift Tip 104: Frisbees

During these summer days, why not hit the park and throw a frisbee with a friend? This old school activity is as much for your buds, as it is for your favorite furry friends. Dogs enjoy catching these discs, as much as anyone. Here are a few examples:

Innova Disc Golf DX 3-Disc Set, Dick's Sporting Goods



Freestyle Frisbee Sport Disc, Frisbeedisc.com

Frisbee Malibu, wham-o.com

Take these to your next cookout or family reunion..it will compliment the other outdoor games and hot dogs well!

Fun facts

• The name Frisbee pays homage to the Frisbee Baking Company, whose pie tins were tossed around by college students in the 1920’s.
• Toy company Wam-O first manufactured the Frisbee flying disc in 1957.
• In 2002 in California, Christian Sandstrom, threw a disc about 820 feet—or a little longer than two football fields—to set the record for the world’s longest throw.

Bzzzz: According to national Ultimate Frisbee competitor Gregg Shapiro, “throwing a disc is a lot like hitting a backhand Ping-Pong ball. But at the end, flick your wrist to add some spin.”
