At first I thought writing this blog would make me despise Ultimate to be honest. Sometimes dissecting the great things makes them less special (you never want to see the inner workings of a Disneyland ride).
This semester I decided I would stop playing Ultimate after I graduate after my last summer. :(
It's just weird, I want to get serious. Get a job. Do that stuff.
But I love Ultimate. I love everything about it. I like how ambiguous some calls are. I get to be a referee or coach or player, whatever I want to be on my team. The roles are endless. I could simply spearhead cheering if i really wanted to... Up to you, it really is.
So...since that is settled. And the fact that I probably wont be able to leave Ultimate...means a little more Ultimate blog in the future.
Today I actually wanted to talk about shorts. SHORTS. ShoRTS. Ultimate shorts, why are they so awesome?
So these are the lime tiger shorts. You know that tiger print's got some sass. And don't think your handler will even have a chance to miss you making your cut down field in that blaring neon yellow.
Ultimate shorts are so light and easy to move in. WHAT? **Science Air Alert **
Five Ultimate says "The important stuff: Made from 88% polyester, 12% elastane. " I'll tell you why this is important. Stretch the shorts from your knees to your toes. these shorts are SUPER stretchy-->comfortable, light, barely there. CAN I GET A DRUM ROLL... My personal favorite shorts.
Even though my team is not related to any kind of cattle...I NEED THESE. They are so so smooth.
Shorts are your personality in Ultimate. Black shorts dude is that guy that trains for Ultimate in his spare time as a busy heart surgeon. Bright neon blue shorts dude is that guy who thinks he's all that, and he might possibly be that haha. Money bills shorts dude is just there to have fun and huck some frisbees. I don't know what strawberry cow shorts dude is (haha), but all I know is that they are just a fun pair of shorts.
$29 bucks is a bit steep for a pair of shorts, but common look how awesome they are. PLUS they have a secret little pocket to hold you mp3 player.
So anyways, now that you know what I'll be wearing for the next year or so it's time to say farewell. I had fun doing this blog, I got to prod into what makes Ultimate and Ultimate players tick...Women! Just kidding haha, it's really a diverse community and Ultimate serves a bunch of purposes for each individual. Cardio, leadership training, being more vocal, speed and strength training, practice being a coach...Have a great time playing Ultimate and if you see someone throwing a disc, just say hello.
Ultimate people at the very least are friendly and happy to teach and share.
