Ultimate before I was born

Here’s a video of the World Championships of Ultimate in 1975. Awesome. Some of the layouts are great, although the throws (and the shorts) leave something to be desired. Very cool to see though, if you care at all about Ultimate.

To compare, here’s a video of the 2008 World Championships that were held in Vancouver last summer.

    Heehee! Amazing!
    What’s up with the points? Do you know when the rules changed from three – five point to one point end zone catches?

    Awesome. Very garage league. Did you see the throw between the defender’s legs for the score? Also: remarkable lack of flicks!

    it’s all about the thumber baby. i think it’s the combination of the short shorts, headbands, glasses and beards. Lots of bbq backhands. . .
    the editing on the WFDF 2008 video is really good. the timing of the layouts and the beat is cool.
