HUCK IT

Don't know who still reads this blog, but whatheheck right. haha.

Exams are still ongoing for most, ending this week probably. There won't be pick up at Monash during the summer holidays probably, but you are welcome to any pick up's around KL!

Kolej Bandar Utama, Saturdays at 9.00am are a wonderful place to start, since there are a lot of seniors, and you can probably sharpen your throws and learn more about the game. Don't be discouraged if you've just started, and think you might not be good enough, because people there are really friendly, and newcomers are always welcome!

If you don't know the way, head towards One Utama, and down the road in between the new wing and the old wing, keep heading straight, passing a sorta masjid on your right, a couple of traffic lights and schools, and Centerpoint on your left. You will reach another traffic light besides McDonald's, take the right turn, and ta-da you're there!

We usually play a good 2 solid hours, play usually only starts at 9.30 / 10 or so.

Other pick ups include ISKL in Ampang on Sundays, contact David Lai for more info, and in Shah Alam, one of the fields in front of the huge masjid on Fridays i believe, not too sure. haha. Contact the UiTM Lions.

here's a video showing pick up in University Malaya a couple of years ago,

Still Competing at Ultimate Frisbee’s Birthplace

An interesting articles if you want to know which college started ultimate.

Here is an interesting quote

FORGET college guides, U.S. News & World Report rankings, average SAT scores. The best gauge of an institution’s ex cellence may actually be … its ultimate Frisbee team. At least that’s the theory of Dr. Michael J. Norden, a Univer sity of Washington professor of psychiatry.

In his new study, Dr. Michael J. Norden explains the correlation between academic excellence and ultimate; Why Smart Guys Play Frisbee

• Students not known for athletic prowess “can show up at college having never played” and be good at it by year’s end.

• The game calls for “spatial aptitude” (“to ‘read’ the projected path of the disc”) and “quick, accurate decision-making” (“a new play must be improvised every 10 seconds”).

• “It is readily compatible with a heavy academic load.”

happy merdeka

fellow monash-ians ;)

see you at pick up tuesdays and thursdays :)

Okay

so we didn't play in the blistering rain and insane stormy winds last thursday!

It was too insane. Rain isn't that bad, but coupled with wind, it just makes it almost impossible to play!

a 175 gram disc sways veryy easily in the wind.

anyway, we hope to see you guys next week!





This is a video from Sports@SG, a singaporean tv show about sports (NO DUH) that featured the Singapore Ultimate Open, in which some Malaysian clubs took part in!

Now, why doesn't Malaysia support Ultimate like them?
