It takes a little while to get going, but this is the trailer for the Worlds DVD from Perth. Mostly D's to start, then some really big catches.

about Ultimate being a "serious" sport!) There are couple of shots of Chilly (though none of me), found at 1:21, 2:14, 2:52, 3:06, and 3:32.

The guy who caught it, Lee Baker, is one of my closest friends on Chilly; here's a photo of us following Nationals.
Basically, for those of you that are wondering what it is that I do with all my time, here it is. :) We had a viewing party of the DVD following Nationals, and while it doesn't change the overall result from Perth (and yes, we are still bitter about losing a very win-able semifinal), it was nonetheless pretty damn cool to watch all the same...last post about frisbee for a while, I promise!
I've booked my flight to Singapore in July, and it looks like I'll be able to stop in Bali for a few days on my way back, where I will be catching up with my good friend Eileen. From there, I'll be heading straight to Brisbane for a(nother!) frisbee tournament; by the end of this year, it's likely I will have traveled to all of the capital cities of Australia (save Darwin, capital of Northern Territory), in the name of chasing plastic...
