FLX Drones...schweeeeeeet!

Can we get a premium plastic Venom next?

my_hero · Feb 08 2008, 01:43 PM

A little birdie just told me that the limited edition stock stamped FLX Drones shipped today with the rest of the Z-Boaz supertour hot stamped discs.

That may be the best thumber disc on the planet if they made it!
I am ready to see an ESP challenger and magnet as well.

My Hero,

In assembling an all-FLX bag, I have felt something was missing (stability-wise) between the Predator and Surge. The release of the FLX Avenger might fit the bill. However, I have avoided the Avenger since the rim configuration is awkward in my hand. Any ideas how much of the current Discraft line is going to be produced in FLX? Specifically, I'd love to see a FLX Crush; if it flew Z-Crush type lines with the FLX grippy-ness, it would be sooooo sweet!

poisonelf · Feb 08 2008, 02:56 PM

Personally I would love to have an FLX magnet...my softies just break in way to quick

Hopefully so. I too would like to see the Crush and the Flash get FLXed. Visit the website, send them emails, make some requests!

Where did you get that quote? Nice creative editing there MR Miles. Read the real quote a few posts up.

Incidentally, they only ran 2000 limited edition FLX Drones. Don't be scared!

warlocks00 · Feb 08 2008, 05:13 PM

I was looking at an online retailer and they are showing that the Z-wasp is being discontinued. Please tell me this is a mistake?

my_hero · Feb 08 2008, 05:16 PM

I think they meant X-Wasp. Most of the X line is on the chopping block.

crgadyk · Feb 08 2008, 05:49 PM

I got a stack of X Wasps in the basement

I also have a limited edition speckle blue X Wasp that I have held on to for a couple years.

Pogis · Feb 08 2008, 08:23 PM

This from a PM the HERO sent me today!

Silly me for writing it like that. Didn't mean to throw tricks at you.

Creative editing huh? I am sure you can edit circles around me!

YES!!! FLX Crush would be far better than an Avenger. Too bad Doss doesn't throw Crushes!

thetruthxl · Feb 09 2008, 12:34 PM

I've been throwing the flx avenger since BG in april...cool disc...alot like a beefy TL after a year of abuse.

I dont understand why you avoid the Avenger if you like the Pred.......Same exact mold the Avenger just has a flatter wing to make it less stable!!! It goes Pred Tsunami Avenger Avenger SS all the same mold the wing is just slighty flatter all the way down so that the disc becomes less stable.

Just thought I would throw that out there.

dgdave · Feb 12 2008, 02:44 PM

So, did the flx drones ship as planned?

my_hero · Feb 12 2008, 03:05 PM

Yes, UPS is dropping a lot of them off at my house on Wed!!!!! I hope my neighbors like honey bees!

lien83 · Feb 12 2008, 04:12 PM

just curious about the web-site and when it will ever get updated? I have heard like ten rumors that this disc is coming out and these new players are sponsored for the last 6 months and I have yet to see anything on their site...

any word on why? Do they need a part-time web-developer

my_hero · Feb 12 2008, 05:06 PM

I believe Brian Sullivan does the website stuff. Some of our personal team pages were updated over the weekend with new pics, tips, finishes, fav courses and equipment: http://www.discraft.com/team_maiuro.html

The "around the tour" on the home page is updated weekly. I'm sure we'll see the new teammates personal pages soon.

gokayaksteven · Feb 12 2008, 07:04 PM

who can we petition to have 150 z-preds made?

Pogis · Feb 12 2008, 08:07 PM

LOL.I love your throwing pic onyour page Hero.

my_hero · Feb 12 2008, 08:39 PM

LOL. I've noticed that i'm either bitting my lip or doing the old closed eye huck and pray....or sometimes both.

Somebody give this man a beer! I'm going to the 2008 Japan Open and would love to have a few 150 Z preds.

my_hero · Feb 13 2008, 02:40 PM

They're here........

Wow, the wait was worth it. They look awesome and feel GREAT in the hand!

PM me to get yours NOW!

dgdave · Feb 13 2008, 05:54 PM

When will the people who pm'd you last week hear back?

what colors and weights are available?

my_hero · Feb 13 2008, 06:49 PM

I'm currently PMing everyone.

dgdave · Feb 13 2008, 06:57 PM

Word, Hero. Word.

Pogis · Feb 13 2008, 08:38 PM

Let me be the first to say, THESE THINGS ARE SWEET!!!! They are more high speed stable then the Ds and fly further! Plus they bend BACK after hitting a tree!

High five for Discraft on making these. We need to see these in regular production!

gokayaksteven · Feb 13 2008, 08:56 PM
