RIP Elite Z Glow MRV @ White River

[olydiscgolf]

Lost at White River on Sunday, one of my beloved Elite Z Glow MRV's. I'm pretty sure it went in the river, but on the chance that it's in a tree or under a leaf, Ill spread the word here.

[General Scales]

That is a terrible loss, hopefully you get it back.

[Mr. Anderson]

I bet some tears were shed. I'm jealous that you had one to lose. I still want one.

[matt]

tossing one of those into the river hurts

[General Scales]

Tossing a mold that was a very limited production into the river really hurts.

[olydiscgolf]

Yeah, no fun at all. I tried to hold it together for my group, but there were definetely a few tears shed. Good thing I have 6 reserves...

PS. Im always looking for more.

You have 6 more Glo's in reserve? Who do I have to kill to get 1? Name it.

The good news.... I know where there are more. The bad news... I'm not talking. I'm trying to work out a fair trade to pick up a couple more.


I am curious what you know about them, as its really rare to find anybody that has even heard of them.

From what I've been told, they are exceptionally rare. Most of them seem to have been made between 2003-2004. I've heard there were as little 200 made and as many as 1000. I can't confirm how many were actually produced but I know the numbers are quite low.

They were originally made as a fundraiser (I believe) and are in that super tasty old school glow Z which seems to last forever. I also know that they are more overstable then the Z MRV's I currently huck. Really, I want to pick some of the older Discraft Pro's brains (Scott Papa where are you) to see if they have any more information on them that can be confirmed. I guess I could write Discraft and see if they will give me any credible information.

So once again, who do I have to kill to get one?

[olydiscgolf]

I think you are in the ballpark there.... From what I understand, there were about 1000 of them made, but, because of the low flashpoint of the glow plastic, only 1 out of 3 didn't get "burned" by the mold. So that leaves 366 of them stamped and sold. 266 of them have the "howliewood" stamp on them (these are the ones that I have) the other 100 have the Doctor Disc Bandaid stamp on them.

I attached a pic, its kind of hard to see, but one of these is really dark compared to the others.

If you do get a chance, these are THE best glow disc's ever made.

I was there monday morning @ 8am, seen nothing ;-( I will keep my eyes open and spread the word to the locals ;-)

[Mikk]

Im at wr now, i see your disc in the river behind 14 tpad, water too cold :-(

How far off the bank is it? Any chance of retrieval?

Yeah I just had an Office Space 'Oh Face' moment looking at that picture. Everyone I know that has ever had one won't come off them. Even though they don't throw them and never will. I throw a lot of MRV's (just got two brand new max weight Z's in the mail) and I've been looking for these forever!

[Mikk]

easy enough, about 25 feet out, water is moving fast and 34 deg.

Go to blue 14 t-pad, follow trail down to the river, at the waters edege travel right about 30 feet and stop. About 25 feet out you can see your disc plain as day, also 2 orange discs and 1 blue disc can bee seen, farther out into the river.

I did go into the river 1x couple of years back. I alomst got hypothermia. I had a 5 min drive to home, gf had towels in the dryer for me, I was mostly purple in the lower body parts.

OK. First let me say that YOU SUCK!!:shooting:

The fact that you have 4 Howliewood 3D Glo Z MRVs to even TAKE that pic is disgusting.

And second let me say YOU SUCK!!!!:shooting::shooting:

WTF are you doing on here telling the world about this disc?!?! Are you TRYING to make the price of these discs rise through the roof? If I had any I would part with, this little thread would add $100 to the price of each disc if I were selling them to you.

And third let me say YOU SUCK!!!!!!:shooting::shooting::shooting:

YOU THREW ONE IN THE RIVER!?!?! ARE YOU MAD?!?!?:headbang:

:pirate:

I approve this message. Although I did throw a Z Ringer in the water at Corbin Park once. Never got that one back. I think there was fewer of those made then even the MRV's :slapface::jumpspin::waaah:

Quite the mouthful there Jordan! Let me just start at the top...
1) yeah yeah yeah
1b) I actually have 6, but yeah yeah yeah.
2) yeah yeah yeah.
2b) So you still have some? What about the other 6 deadly sins? $?$?$?$?$?
3) yeah yeah yeah.
3b) Yeah, a little too much flip... I'm thinking about putting on the wetsuit and going for a swim.

[matt]

.. I'm thinking about putting on the wetsuit and going for a swim.

i will give you $2 ea. for the other discs
(if there is no ink of course, other wise they should go to their rightful owner)

[Mikk]

one of the orange discs is a z nuke os, belongs to a local named rick.
The blue disc is a star wraith, belongs to a local tony dequatro.
or atleast those are the 2 discs I personaly seen go into the river, now if its them they do have names and numbers...
If you do go into the river, I lost a goldline Bolt in the same spot....I can make it worth your time for disc recovery ;-)

[tallpat]

I saw those discs this morning... They're all located in about the same area where I saw some paramedics, apparently pulling a body from the water (http://www.thenewstribune.com/2013/01/20/2442330/auburn-missing-mans-body-found.html), on Friday.

Now that's funny
(Unless of course you are serious)

[tallpat]

Unfortunately, no joke. The ambulance had it's lights going and was parked just across the river from said tee pad. I was wondering what was going on because the responders didn't appear to be acting in any urgent manner. Found out this morning when a buddy mentioned that he'd heard it on the news.

Also, no joke; the discs are still out in the water.

[tallpat]

And to clarify, I didn't personally see them pulling the body out, I just saw them there doing stuff.

I wonder if he was going in after my disc.
