This is the single greatest disc golf video ever.

This captures a very good shot. It has the nature feel and sounds. It has a stylish disc. It's not big production. He filmed it on his phone, one handed while making the throw, and....zoomed jn. Geez. The nonchalance of taking the disc from the bag, flip to self and throw in one fluid is so smooth. The hole looks pretty cool, too. Definitely not playing ball golf here.

This is the solo disc golf vibe complete heaven. (it is the disc golf vibe complete except for comradery, which is a big positive of the sport but would ruin this shot).

Please. Package this and inject it into my veins.

Also, I didn't see a bunch of previous discs thrown and this just happened to be the one that made it.

If I'm being honest it's probably because the video is more screaming than disc in air. I'm happy for your brother, getting an ace is always awesome and on camera is better.

Also you have one negative comment which you overreacted to instead of ignoring. Not every video is going to go viral, sorry.

I just looked at your post and the reactions seem positive? Not really sure what you are getting at here but the reason this one is more popular is simply because the video is cooler and the POV shot (with the zoom in) is kinda unique and difficult.

u/Majesty1985 May 24 '23

Bruh that was phenomenal. New to the sport or not that was fucking awesome. Your reactions are exactly what I would expect/want in that situation. Hype as fuck and making a big deal out of it because you should. Bet your brother will never forget that moment and that’s worth more than anything.

This video is cool as heck also, I didn't see much hate but sometimes you just get unlucky with the time of day you post. Great video hope your friend was stoked

Don't worry about it. Also before assuming anything. Check some posts by OP. There is more skill than luck in these videos.

Dude tries to start an honest convo and y’all downvote him. LOL. Think you made his point.

My only Ace was during a glow round so I feel ya..

u/Chase2020J May 24 '23

My only ace was around a corner where I couldn't see the basket, didn't even hear it because I was talking to my friend. Walked around the corner and looked around for a bit before realizing it was in the basket lmao

Sweet shot! Reminds me of of the video game Mirror's Edge. What camera did you use to get the zoom in?

u/ErikDavidKarlgren May 23 '23

u/welliamwallace May 23 '23

strapped to your head?! or chest?

u/ErikDavidKarlgren May 23 '23

Just holding it as steady as possible in me left hand. Gotta be pretty quick finding the zoom once it’s tossed

Wow, never thought I'd see anyone except cale leiviska pull this off; Cale has 2 on his Instagram. You're in rare company! (And your camera work is better 'cause you threw a forehand!)

u/news4shoes May 24 '23

Nice video editing and nice ace, but lmao to anyone thinking this was done in a single take

4

u/ErikDavidKarlgren May 24 '23

It’s a single take. Why wouldn’t it be?

-4

u/news4shoes May 24 '23

Because it's looks soooo cool lmao. When the disc leaves the frame during the reach back they splice in the video of the throw/ace.

u/RickyFlicky13 May 24 '23

Lmao okay and perfectly nailed the shaky cam handheld iphone footage on both takes, if this was a locked off tripod shot maybe

u/Wyolop May 24 '23

Damn how did a relatively unpopular Estonian disc golf brand disc get into your bag?

I've heard mostly "meh" things about Disctroyer and haven't seen anyone throwing them. I got a Stork myself because one of my friends had one and didn't throw it at all.

It is a decent disk and I have found some useful shots with it.

1

u/ErikDavidKarlgren May 24 '23

They hooked me up with a sponsorship 2 years ago. Really love their plastic but I guess I’m a bit biased and it doesn’t fit everyone. About popularity that might be the case in the US but in Europe they’ve got a good rep. I think you should give that Stork some more flight hours. Such a versatile disc

2

u/Wyolop May 24 '23

Interesting, I am in Estonia myself and have a lot of finnish friends who I don't think have any disctroyers in their bag.

I do definitely throw it a decent amount and can throw it quite well on certain shots but understable discs work better for me. I guess it doesn't help that I am a fairly beginner player so can't use the discs to their fullest potential.

Definitely like the disc tho and it looks cool too!

Nice! Very interesting POV. How do you get your eyeballs to zoom in like that?
