Just received the E.D.G.E. video to give to my younger cousin to help him get going in the game. GREAT video guys and gals!!
My favorite part is when KC throws straight at a camera to demonstrate the snap and sound of the disc as it travels through the air.......Ken then makes a CLASSIC pose...hand in pocket and a huge grin on his face......I laughed super hard. You need to take a still shot of this Kenny and put it on your site :D

Thanks for the compliment, Bizzle. That IS a great shot and the sound is amazing if you turn it way up. Just like a rocket going overhead.

How useful is this video to somebody who has been playing? Is this basic information? I'm looking for some sort of instruction to improve my playing, but am past beginner.

Yes, it is basic information, but consider this:
Do you have a pure backhand drive technique like Ken Climo?
Can you throw a forehand as efficiently as Dave Dunipace?
Are your putting fundamentals as good as Des or Jay Readings?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then this probably won't help you. You could, however, buy one and donate it to your local school's PE program, with a hint for them to get involved with EDGE as a curriculum element.
Could you (or anyone else) benefit from watching, in real time and slow motion, the best players in our sport execute these skills?
If the answer to this question is yes, then go to the EDGE Website (http://www.edgediscgolf.org) and pick up one of these DVD's. In fact, get two or more and donate the others to your local schools.
