Team discraft

[RonTheWhip]

Its official!

Discraft will be sponsoring me for the 2009 season. I'd like to thank them publicly for their support of disc golf and its dedicated players.

On that note, I have lots of Innova I'd love to trade for sweet Discraft plastic for anyone who is interested. I will be updating my inventory in the next week or so, I encourage anyone else to do the same so that we can quickly scan through to find what we want!

Thanks,
Dion

[Sean Phillips]

Congrats :cheers:

Congrats Dion. Discraft made a great decision. I have no doubt you will represent them well... both on and off the course.

[Nate Sexton]

:yay: Congratulations KING Ron :trophy:

Nice WORK, you've been practicing HARD and the sponsors are taking notice. Of course this does mean we can't RIDE together to events anymore, and I will have to raise my TRASH TALKING by an order of magnitude post PDGA BEATDOWN!

hay man i have a Z Xtreme (used) and a XL (ESP, Elite Z) used if that's any help

[citizens arrest]

Great job GQ:) remember the rose city open you were throwing from the grass strip next to the the turn around at pier, I had you throw my 167 flex surge and with your 360 run up you put it within 10ft of basket #2 your longest throw of all your other discs. I have alot of discraft that they stopped making pm me and I'll let you know what I have. Jesse has been using the 360 run up and putting it out there between 5 to 600 ft. thanks for showing him the move. good luck and remember it's not always the tool it's the carpenter:biggrin2:

Congratulations Whip! You're going to make some noise for Discraft in the PNW!

This thread kind of begs the question though: what are they sponsoring you with if you have to scrounge around for Discraft discs? I thought that was one of the benefits.

[Dr. Zaius]

pop that collar bro!

:laughing: and tilt that hat.

congratulations dion.

[RonTheWhip]

I will be getting some free discs here soon, but the Xtreme and Storm are dis-conitnued, so finding those will have to happen on my dime.

Ha!

Congrats!

How does that work. Is it an all you can eat kind of thing, or do you get so many per year? Do all of the Discraft pros get the same package?

Sorry, Scott - I can't devulge that information pubicly...seriously, I can't.

[Scott]

Sorry, Scott - I can't devulge that information pubicly...seriously, I can't.

I understand. I was just curious.

I guess if I want to find out I'll just have to become a Discraft pro myself.

(Funniest post you will read all day). :laughing:

[snap7times]

didn't think my popped collar post would be so popped collar popular... ;) RON you got PM

Whoa, you mean to say he was born with a popped collar? dannnggggg... :laughing:

[Nate Sexton]

Whoa, you mean to say he was born with a popped collar? dannnggggg... :laughing:

I believe the medical term is "permapopped", but yes, that is what I mean to say

[snap7times]

we learn something interesting everyday heh..

[RonTheWhip]

wow, thanks for the good laughs Nate...and Nate.

[Flash]

wow, thanks for the good laughs Nate...and Nate.

Popped collars are so 2008, with the recession the roll-over is now in effect, so roll those collars over like a funnel and watch the money blow through.

Hey Dion, If you are not still throwing that comet, I want it back!!! If you are still throwing it then convince the maker to make more!

[RonTheWhip]

Yeah, I'm not throwing it. You can have it back :)

[JMan]

Well Dion, if they send you any sub 170 Forces, and you find them too light let me know. And again congrats on making Team Discraft! It's nice to see the big D looking out West! Represent!

[papatart]

Heck yeah! It's awesome to have another NW golfer on Team Discraft. Even better, there's nothing like having rookies around to beat on and with a name like Dion "the whipping boy" he is just perfect for the task.

As for this.....

"Whenever you throw a bad shot you will always be able to blame the sub standard plastic...(hahaha)....."

The best part is he won't be making ANY bad shots anymore. All previous bad shots were to be blamed on other plastic because if it ain't Discraft, it's just plastic. If he does make any bad shots he will be under team review and subject to suspension. It ain't easy being a sponsored pro......heeheehee

Later dudes!

Oops,

Forgot to say what I really logged in for. Dion, obviously if you need some old stuff or new stuff, let me know and I will see what I can get down to you. E-mail me at spapa@centurytel.net so that we can talk and so I can get your e-mail addy.

Later,
Papa
