Back in the early '70s at Berkely, Guts Frisbee was popular. There was a guy with an incredible index of 1.04 (when most people are a 1). You did not want to be across from him when he was throwing.

I was one of the people who understood the aerodynamics of the darned thing, so was usually first picked for frisbee sports - I could "bend it like Beckham" (even though that movie came out much later)...
