Next Adventure is stocked up

[Scott]

Talked to a guy at Next Adventure yesterday as he was bringing out more discs. He said they just got about 2000 more discs in this week. They've added more rack space to accomodate the growth.

Sweet!! I'm thinking of heading there in the next couple of weeks.

Actually when Jeff Mittl and I spoke with Bryan last week he said that he was adding new lines of plastic from Millenium, Gateway and maybe Latitude 64.

He is also adding additional lines of plastic and models from Innova and Discraft.

I wonder if Next Adventure has "buy sell trade" disc recycling? Because I have several discs that are over 170g which I don't use it anymore, and I would like to trade or sell to Next Adventure for lighter discs. Also, I wonder if they take discs that have name/email/phone numbers on it? I am going to Next Adventure tomorrow to cash my BSF certificate at last!

They do buy and/or trade discs (as well as other equipment), and ink on the back is OK. The main reason I go there as often as I do (2-3 times a week) is to check out the used stock.

Eric and I just took in a bag full of discs we're not throwing anymore yesterday. We do this a couple of times a year and end up with about $60 in store credit. I normally cross out our phone numbers, but forgot about it yesterday. They just throw them in the bin, marked and all.

I did notice that they have a larger slection now, but if I'm being completely honest, I was a little disappointed in their 150 weight section. A whole bunch of Teebirds, and very little else in the way of drivers. They did have a handful of new R-Pro Bosses in the light weight class, but I imagine they'll go fast.

It comes and goes. I've seen a pretty good selection of 150 class there, but they do seem a little low now.

I was hoping to get some 150g discs especially Champion Valkyire but I hope to find several discs that are between 160 to 165g.

At the Stumptown meeting on Tuesday Brian reminded us that Next Adventure Scrip has an expiration date. So if you've got it . . . Use it or lose it!

That is why I am going tomorrow since I live in Rockaway Beach as I need to do some errands in Portland so I want to use my scrip before the expiration date!

What's the home course for Roc-away?

My BSF script has a July 24th expiration date. Thanks though because I might not have checked it had I not seen this post. Guess I will have to get down there soon too.

I have a 150g Champ Valk I'd be willing to part with. It's in barely worn condition. Anything you want to trade for it?

Good luck. In my experience, those are the hardest to find at NA.

DiscGolfCenter.com usually has a good selection, though -- and free shipping.

My wife would like to see more 150 discs available as well. My recommendation is to let NA know what you are looking for and they will bring it in. NA is Oregon Disc Golf's biggest fan and anything we can do to partner with them and support them would be a very smart move. You can also talk to Jay at Huk and he may be able to bring in the types of plastic to NA that you are looking for. NA is the hand that feeds us, lets not bite it. Not trying to pick a fight, just reminding the community to support our biggest fan.

If you can't find good champ/star orcs there at around 170 it's cause I stopped in the other day and poached the best ones.

[Susie Sunshine]

I certainly didn't mean my remark as a slight against NA at all... I appreciate everything they do - for our Chick Flick tourneys in particular. It was just an observation on my part, that with adding 2,000 discs to the inventory, the 150 section seemed weak. I've been there in the past when this was not the case, so I'm hoping that they're planning on ordering more.

I purchase from NA and from online dealers, and every once in a while from DGD on the rare occasion that I am out in that part of town. I don't think it's a slight against Next Adventure to shop elsewhere as well. Especially if NA doesn't always have what people are looking for. In their defense, they have come a lot closer over the years to having the kind of selection I'd like to choose from and their customer service in the disc department has gone from terrible a few years ago to generally helpful at the present time.

Also... If you're looking for something specific, say 150 class for example, ask an employee what else they can dig up for you out of the basement. Not all the stock is on the shelves.

I'll say first that I love Next Adventure, I've purchased snowboards and outdoor equipment there for my whole life, but if you're looking for the best selection of things like 150g discs or off brands I'd go out to Disc Golf Depot, I know he has 20-30 different 150g molds.

OR... you could go to Next Adventure and support a vendor interested in growing the sport and ask them to order what you are looking for. I am positive that they will.
