Best Ultimate Frisbee Plays of 2008
Спорт
Same footage as the other 2008 highlight video I put together with new music, I think it looks better. New footage from Ultivillage, featuring UPA Club Nationals and WUGC, or Worlds, tournaments. Check it out and enjoy.

I get chills everytime I watch this video, Ultimate is a SPORT and is one of the best easily, if not the best.
The music in this vid rocks way more than the first vid. With this music I can't freaking stop watching this clip.
The Callahan, by John Chandler of Surly, was done in a man-to-man defense, not zone. But the stall count was starting to get high thanks to the excellent shut down D on the handlers. Frisbeejim, you're still fundamentally correct: great D creates big turnovers.
my youth pastor introduced the sport to me and now i just want to play it all the time!!! its awsome!!!
You make a good point. Unfortunately, when Ultimate gets to a competitive level, people forget about Spirit and only argue for their call. I would love to see Ultimate in the Olympics, even if Spirit is at cost. Rules and referees would be better for the sport, simply because most players nowadays cannot be trusted.
I love the music and of cos all the cool frisbee blocks, throws n catches
this video is awesome. Great POV, great players, and good music. Ultimate is SO MUCH FUN
I get chills at the end everytime i watch this
Great video by the way, last time I saw ultimate recorded was on CSN. I wish they'd broadcast more matches.
good music fit, just wonderful footage! Thanks!
Great video, man. Looking forward to the 2010 version!
never knew frisbee could get this good :D
Ultimate Frisbee really does go hard.
I can't believe people are trying to argue that this isnt' a sport or a competitive sport or isn't as competitive as any other sport. Maybe their video cards weren't working or they didn't scroll up, I mean, just watch these guys. Ultimate is not only about speed and raw leg strength, but agility and HUGE amounts of finesse. I don't even play and I'm not even that good with a disc but I know it takes a lot more than most people have to put the disc exactly where it needs to go.
killer video man
Ultimate frisbee has to be the best god damn game ever
Man this looks fun to play
nice. You should definitely keep making these.
we now play this at school, i fucking love it.
i just watched this for the firts time...AMAZING such sick video
@Happytaco1236 Happy, I'm 23 years old and I've played competitive sports for my entire life. I won numerous high school awards (including being voted best athlete in my class by my peers) and was a 3 sport varsity athlete (baseball, soccer, and basketball). I tried out for the Wake Forest University men's baseball team but they did not take me so I began playing Ultimate. That said, I can personally attest to the validity of Ultimate as a sport. You have yet to offer a sound argument...
USA ultimate is trying it's best to make it as well known as possible. It's only a matter of time before more rules are added. It's a developing sport.
Music in the previous version was much better. I used to listen to it before tge games... Happy that I was clever enough to save the old one!
I played this for 5 weeks for fun at the rugby club and then there was a big competition on and i played for a proper team that were short players, and ohh myyy god it was FAST!!!! I looove it though.
I've never seen this gamestyle but it looks fun to do! It would feel great to make a nice far throw with a lot effect and that someone catches it in a duel.. I can totally imagine that this sport is loved by you people.. unfortunately it's not that popular..
0:21 What a awesome move!
The catches are cool and all... but those throws are freakin amazing
this is sick
@Necrosis123 if the defensive player deflects the frisbee pass and it hits the ground before either side can catch it, the defense gets it. Basically, if the offense(A) doesn't successfully pass the disc, it goes to the defense(B). The benefit of an interception instead of an deflection and recover is B gets extra time before A gets themselves back to defend and there is also no chance for A team to catch it.
@Happytaco1236 A sport is defined as "an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc." which is exactly what ultimate is. Soccer requires less running, as when you play at a competitive level at disc you are required to run through a whole tournament (lasting from 6-10 hours), not just one game. The same thing goes for track and cross country.
dude at 1:55!!!! Sick as bid and great awareness!!
@jduff025 hilarious to see your reaction, that was exactly the spot I watched like five times, to figure out how he seemed to pass right through the other guy as he caught the disc.
i love the way they have to look u for the frisbee then run into each other all the time e.g. 0:39 and 1:44 and 1:52
its just a mashup two artists look it up on youtube theres a link, fk the music, that was some sick footage, nice post, Montana ultimate represent
@0r1ginalgb You also play tournaments in soccer. With at least 3 games in one day, and about 9 games over the span of a weekend. Which amounts to about 12 hours of running and athletic competition. In frisbee's case, your do not run through a whole tournament, based on the fact that you are required by the rules to stop when you have the frisbee.
@mrgansta but yet i love how you just randomly stumbled upon this video...
Playing frisbee is fucking fun in gym class when people are actually trying and interested. Hate it when people try to act cool by not trying and thinking that people take it too seriously if they actually want to win, good thing that shit's only in middle school and the lower classes in high school.
damn i play on a college team and love ultimate but this stuff is AMAZING
Great stuff. Note the Callahan at 1:58; not as spectacular-looking as the great hucks, but shows a great zone defense at work.
my favorite sport to play pretty fun to watch too XD
I actively play high level ultimate and soccer and I say ultimate involves more running than soccer, however there are more subsitutions so you are not playing the whole time, but when you are you need to be running hard the whole time, whereas soccer you run when the ball is in your position. Soccer takes more coordination and "Skill" but ultimate takes more intense physical exertion. It is also a million times as much of a sport as curling, golf, luge etc.
Just great...
Very Nice Video.
Frisbee is a lifestyle. That is all.
some of these guys a ninjas... no joke
Pretty badass
Omg this is a sick track I gotta get it
Honestly all of those who criticize ultimate as a sport have no clue in what they are talking about. Yes it is defintely true that NBA basketball players are some of the best athletes in the world, but as a person who has played both in his life i would say there is a lot more conditioning in ultimate then people could imagine. It is a constant fast pace game very much like soccer, and to be a good ultiamte player you must be peak in your athletism, so for all of you that think ultimate looks
sick song!
yeaaaaah shuggie! thats so sick!
3:15 was a hammer throw.
So many examples of "if you can hit it then catch it instead" on D.
@77Chengz Bob's daughter had bruises on the right side of her face. Atticus asks Bob to write his name. Bob writes his name. With his LEFT hand. It is much more likely that a left handed person would inflict wounds on the right side of a girls face (or anybody's face, for that matter). This goes against Tom. Who's left hand was badly scarred and ripped up after an accident with a cotten gin. Bob was cross examined. So anything he says about Tom beating his daughter means "nothing."
the song is actually "bittersweet dirt off your shoulder" by the verve and jay-z
@exeterdisc You're right, i've never played competitive frisbee. But, in my defense (kind of), i was in marching band all 4 years of high school (yeah, laugh it up. It helps with college). The kids in the band played ultimate frisbee everyday and from what i saw, it was not a sport (though they obviously weren't the most athletic people i knew). From those experiences in marching band. I developed my opinion about ultimate frisbee and i will stick to it unless you viamently prove otherwise.
the song is, Dirt Off Your Shoulders - Jay - Z featuring The Verve.
Ultimate - the ultimate sport
1:32 AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as badass as hockey (y) that is a peek of awesomeness
@Happytaco1236 I do play Ultimate, and i do think of it as a sport. I just spent my evening reading this entire arguement. I have to give some support to happytaco here for sticking with it for this long. I hold you in the highest respect for fighting for our country and its freedom, and its quite an accomplishment to graduate West Point. I disagree with the sport controversy, but I agree with everything else you've said. I have an opinion, and so do you. so lets agree to disagree like you said
yeah and it was in slow motion. cant get any better than that
It needs to be popular in multiple countries at a high level. I'm not say Major League Ultimate or anything, but a sport at many colleges and in many countries. I'd say US could make it a summer sport at their next olympics at just have the other countries put together teams (like curling in Vancouver), but they would probably chose lacrosse.
Callahan @ 1:57 is amazing
dawm !!! 0:36 nice defense
Best Sport ever!!!
@Gright wow......that's why we're watching this so we knew that too
0:22-0:27 is amazing
its a mash up of bittersweet symphony vs. dirt off your shoulders you can find it on youtube
I love ultimate.
Dives = Awesome
@TheWeedMan14x I still remember my first high level match. Now I'm better than the average bear, but these guys were insane. If you left that frisbee hanging in the air for a good 5 seconds, you can expect 7 people going for it.
@Happytaco1236 Hi. I'm currently a junior and the co-captain of a Division 1 track team. I've played soccer, basketball, was a 2 year starter at corner-back, and captain of my track team in high school. A sport demands athletic ability and a scoring system. Ultimate has both. Ultimate is very athletically demanding. A good player must be very fast, agile, able to accelerate, able to jump high, and have the ability to read the flight pattern of the disc and also the skills to throw. SHUT ME DOWN!
0:54 I had a bid like that at my HS states tournament (VA)... Except i burned my defender my like 20 yards. Its the best feeling in the world.
yeah i fall all the time when i play at no joke i just love
@Brydncyff yes, Sweden has been the world champions and had organized some worlds also. Is one of the countries with more level
1:55... awesome...
@77Chengz Which is why i say things about Ultimate frisbee. Because "you don't need experience to use it in comparison."
The spikes hurt....
@dadirtysoufbowss frisbee is a trademarked name for a flying disc made by wham-o so the game is officially just called 'ultimate" not ultimate frisbee to avoid legal issues. plus most people don't actually use "frisbees".
Ultimate is one of the greatest sports ever created. Bitter Sweet Symphony is one of the greatest songs ever created. WHAT THE FUCK is that train wreck that got dubbed over it?
@exeterdisc haha. Yeah. It's nice to have a civil conversation with somebody. As opposed to having to call names and use insults (though i believe Irondog started that). You didn't resort to blind insults and comments so i didn't. I'm usually not one to start that. I respect your opinion and the fact you didn't force it on me like the kids who constantly keep watch over the comments page and wait for someone to pounce on. So thank you also.
still the best ultimate reel in 2011.... come out wit another?
Basketball is more competitive and the players are better at their sport. Pro basketball players devote their entire lives too basketball, coached by people who spend their entire lives analysing the game. Pro ultimate players can't because they dont get very muchh (if any) money for playing preofessionally. They need to have jobs an go to school etc. I play ultimate myself and I have faith that it will expand, hopefully to the olympics. Great video.
Damn I wish i could play ultimate like that...
@armatey007 I think we may be talking about two completely different ultimate frisbees.
agreed mate!!!
not gonna lie the song grew on me
dude i just got into frisbee.. its so fuken fun like honestly.. sounds lame but its fuken amzingly fun.. especially when u know how to throw one.
@awall930 "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing." -Vince Lombardi.
@AngieAndBoo You can probably just overlay both songs on to the video. He might have also fiddled with some of the tempo of one to make it fit better.
@Happytaco1236 yah those guys made it to the special olympics team. Which I'm sure you know intimately.
i fucking love that theirs no rules
@exeterdisc First of all, no. I haven't played ultimate frisbee except for when i was forced to in Phisical Education in High School. Plus, there's spirit in every sport out there, and they all have officiating crews. And does spirit of the game win games or competitions, no. Talent and strategy wins competitions (or cheating in baseball's case.) So in the end, spirit of the game doesn't matter as much as getting the right call (as opposed to biased calls) and being good at what you do.
LnowClater, you say it sounds lame, and that's because of ultimate's unfortunate reputation. People hear ultimate and think, "lol hippies," when instead they should be thinking, "physical endurance, ridiculous skill, intense competition, and unparalleled spectator entertainment."
dudes about to spike the shit out of it @1:41 hahaha
@dgub your not old school...you just have good spirit. the spirit is dead in america
@CrashedMC713 Beacause alot of those catches and throws were pretty damn impressive
@77Chengz Nevermind, i was like that too in 8th grade.
@Penguinlordb AGREEEEED. the best sport
@lolmanlolzz and soccer, soccer is prolly the most demanding sport out there, but yeah, Ultimate definitely beats almost every other sport, though you cant really say baseball players will die, because they are pretty athletic. Though about the rest i would say yes, ultimate is a lot harder then most people say. (I play in school as well as leagues)
