Ace or Not

At my local course their is a steep icey hill. Is it legal to lid your disc down the hill, like give it a little toss upside down and have it land on its face about 3 feet down the hill to get some speed goin and slid it all the way to the bottom of the hill. is that legal. also if their were to say ohh a little ramp that was built infront of the basket would it count as an ace if it went in. the ramp would 5-6 feet from the basket. i just thought it would be really **** funny to do this. would it be legal, everybody can use it if they feel like it or would this be considered cheating??

[dannyreeves]

are you joking?

Kinda!! it would be **** funny to see their expressions on their faces during league play. Would it actually count!!

[rhett]

A roller that hits a tree root and goes in is an ace, so sure it would count.

If you were to see this would you not laugh your head off at it. IN that case i might go build me a little snow ramp tommorrow.

[dannyreeves]

the odds of you actually getting a roller to hit the ramp just right and go in is so low that you might as well just throw air shots at the basket.

[rhett]

he's throwing "sliders" down the hill at it. I'm sure that's because air shots will skip a hundred miles away off the slidey ice.

Just don't build the ramp in the middle of the money round. :) Do it before.

does it go through a windmill before it gets to the ramp :D

I ma sliding it down the hill. it would go about 50-60 feet passed if i threw it. ill build it tommorrow before the money round have it concaved to so if it doesnt hit it perfct its got a good shoot to go in,
P.S. ( the forgiven one) their is a windmill and a big ape that opens and closes his mouth!!! :)

the slide sounds perfectly legal, but wouldnt the ramp building be altering the course? that would be like going to a course b4 you play and removing anything that might be in your way. maybe its totally legal b4 the two minute warning. but wouldnt that then be giving everybody else an advantage?

there is actually a hole at Cass Benton, #15 that goes straight down.....i think i might go do it for shitz and giggles.

i love that hole jen... dude you gotta get this on camera i gotta see an ace like that, im laughing just thinking about. take a camcorder and practice it untill you get it, and throw a video up on the web so we can see this

That's kind like when the ponds are frozen in Paw-Paw...

They're not OB! Just try putting off of slick ice, absolutely no footing...it's all arm

You think just putting on ice is bad, imagine if your target is something unorthodox, like a canoe (http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/lsteffen/fruit2003/18putt2.jpg)! Of course, the real trick is getting the disc to stop close enough to have a "putt". ;) Here's the tee view (http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/lsteffen/fruit2003/18drive.jpg).

holy shiznit man :eek: i like play discgolf but not as much as you guys do. :confused:i used to like snow till i had to shovel it off the driveway at 3:00am :mad:,skiing is the only enjoyment i get from snow now :D

You really need to sweep and smooth the ice on that hole. All that snow slows the disc down.

Discurling!

Oh, what are you now, Gary, a curling expert? Bet you get to do a lot of that in Plano, huh?

Come to think of it, considering your physique, I guess you are a curling expert, but more of the 12 oz. wrist curl variety /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Now get back to work, or go out to Shawnee and throw some for me :D


Martyr, if you're readin this, I haven't stopped thinkin bout'cha. Hope yer doin OK and I look forward to seein ya at Lwsville, if only to try and figure out what you look like this time!

I swear, that guy that came up to me in November out there was NOT YOU!!!

The hair thing I could deal with, but the skirt thing really thru me! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I was thinking, maybe a Zamboni to clear the ice and a hockey goal to slide or skip the disc into. :cool:
