Freestyle Frisbee - Ken Westerfield

Note: Had some technical difficulties with the original Freestyle Frisbee post.
It was one of my current faves, so I'm very happy to now re post it and share it again. 
Huge thanks to Ken for his patience and assistance against the dark side of the Internet.

I also found this great short clip from the late 1970's narrated by Barbara Feldon
(Agent 99 - Get Smart), showcasing the talent and rise of Frisbee as a sport.




And a more recent (2009) short clip of two guys playing Freestyle Frisbee on the streets of Paris.
These guys are awesome!
