same as my record
in feets
I'm flat out 30-40 lol
Why in the fuck would you not show the shot
so what your saying is I could go somewhere with 100+ mile wind and it would count
Who's the chick second from the right you should have put their names up
This guy is built like me why can’t I throw 263 meters xd
I struggle throwing 100m..
What is the world record at no wind assistance?
Oof like 500 feet past mine and 500 feet is still bigger than any of mine
Just figured out it was an add
And where is the film of it? 😂😂😂
That throw was so gay
What about the Aerobie throw of 1,333 ft in 2013. Why is this a record?
Now do it with the Franklin Albatross
Nice try! We all know that the record is held by Louis Sebastian!

Anyone watching this in 2021? It's so awesome to hear Simon talk English when he still had some of that German accent.
Well same
Honestly I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but i can hardly throw it 200 ft. I just began and don't quite understand why it doesn't fly farther when I throw these golfing discs. I have good discs, but maybe technique or something I'm missing? idk it's frustrating cause I can not throw it accurate at all either I suck bad.
The world record is like 5 football fields so like 1,200 feet
And i can only throw 300 😂, well i been playing for like 4 months so igs its ok
Just started playing frolf and obviously this the record but what considered a long throw for your average player
Just 500 more ft. to go for me !……so close !
now its aroun 1,500
287 yards…almost 3 football fields!nearly 66 percent of a quarter mile track…over one furlong.
do you feel "dirty" that the new record is in 42mph wind?
Are y’all sure this is the record because I literally picked up a frisbee yesterday for the first and I threw it a lil over 700 n I still have lots of room to grow.. Let Aaron rodgers get ahold of one of them things n it’s outta here
But great job that’s sick
Lol seriously the gayest thing ever. Always thought the baskets were deer feeders and the strollers were dad's pushing their babies.
Pshhh
Am I mad or did we not even actually get the chance to see the throw
bs
using the wind isn't the thrower, it's just nature's randomness.
Why is any wind allowed? Why not just throw it into a tornado….
863 feet honestly doesn't seem that far. Especially wind-aided. I'm not an expert, but I'm just saying. 2.9 football fields? (yawn)
I thought I can throw far until I saw this
Is using tornado cheating?

Dangggggggggg!
They seriously didn't show the throw?
WIND……PPPPPFFFFF……
I wonder if the wind was above 50 mph, you could throw backwards and upwards into the wind and then that would carry it super far forwards
