[misiacQ]

What is song on 4.30 minute? :))

[AericWinter]

@misiacQ "Bombs over Baghdad" by Outkast. Awesome tune, isn't it?

[muffinsmans]

that disc is tight.

[Rockton23]

nice..btw can you throw lefthand???

[AericWinter]

Yeah, but not nearly as well as with my right.

[faceflip]

hehe...super style :-)

[Surmavari]

btw its not a best place to playing frisbee...

maye some better field

but bretty cool :P

[AericWinter]

It's right across the street. I'm lazy. LoL

[impeterator]

echt stylisch,das will ich hier mal sagen.

[AericWinter]

Merci beacoup.

[elpirk]

honestly, nothing to brag about^

[fizster]

cool du lebst in aachen! werde da naechstes jahr studieren, ab september! zeig mal mehr vdos around aachen!

[AericWinter]

Ich habe noch eines, das "Wlog" heißt. Falls es noch online ist, kannst Du es hier finden. Aachen kann ich jedenfalls nur wärmstens empfehlen. Habe ich mich dort stets wohl gefühlt.

Was wirst Du denn studieren?

[fizster]

ich werde Maschinenbau studieren. ein lehrer von mir hat aachen empfohlen~ (vlt weil er aus aachen kommt...hmm...)

[AericWinter]

Nicht unbedingt. Aachen genießt einen sehr guten Ruf, was das Maschinenbaustudium angeht.

Den kann ich in Teilen bestätigen, und zum Teil widersprechen. Auf jeden Fall ist es nicht langweilig.

Viel Erfolg!

[bottomless666]

hm vielleicht isses skilled aber dennoch langweilig :D

[Skizzere]

wie tennis.!

[AericWinter]

Tja, da gehen die Geschmäcker auseinander. Einige Menschen zahlen zig hundert Euro für eine Karte in Wimbledon. Andere können darüber nur den Kopf schütteln.

Naja, jedem Tierchen sein Pläsierchen...

[bottomless666]

hm da hast du recht^^

ich hoppse halt auf nem brett mit rollen durch die gegend und freue mich und andere schauen sich 22 leute an die versuchen nen ball in einen kasten zu bekommen^^ (mein lieblingsbeispiel ;D)

aber biken so macht sicher fun^^ anschauen hab ich keinen nerv für.. =)

[bottomless666]

:D aufs völlig falsche video gepostet :D

[speedyconkiwi]

was soll denn die schlechte bewertung? weiß auch kein schwein mehr zu schätzen, wenn man mal seinen arsch vom schreibtisch wegbewegt um ein educational outside video zu machen.

tztztztz.

skillz :D

[AericWinter]

Ach ja, damals waren ein paar Bewertungshasser unterwegs, die mit verschiedenen Accounts die Bewertungen meiner Videos und die einiger meiner Freunde (Paperlilies, endlessjoe, u.a.) runtergezogen haben.

Ich weiß nicht genau, warum... aber irgendwann haben sie aufgegeben weil ich wohl nicht richtig reagiert habe.

Ich meine... whatever! (c;

[KEshkar]

cooles video! spielst du auch ultimate frisbee?

vielleicht zeigste acuh mal den überkopfwurf, oder ne schöne vorhand zwischen den beinen durch :D

[AericWinter]

In England hatte war ich Mitglied in einer Mannschaft, aber ich habe sehr wenig Ultimate gespielt seit ich wieder hier bin.

Klaro, Überkopfwurf und Vorhand zwischen die Beine durch kann ich auch mal demonstrieren. ^^

[theAbstruseJuice]

Hey, I'd just like to thank you for the instruction on the forehand throw, thanks to you I am now able to throw a perfect forehand.

No one had ever advised me to point my index finger towards the center of the disk for a more stable release, previously my throws were diving off to the left. But no more!

Thanks for the tips Aeric.

[AericWinter]

Well, I'm glad I could help.

If you ever start making your own videos, let's see a forehand sometime. (c;

[celestialsam]

This one too! This was actually the very first AericWinter video I ever watched. I believe Kris made a video response to it and that is how I found it. Regardless, it's fabulous!:)

[AericWinter]

I love hearing little stories like that. ^^

You're right, I should totally adopt it to my top seven. But it's kinda long, don't you think?

[celestialsam]

If something's good, chances are you never want it to end. I do believe the same logic can be applied to this AWESOME video;)

[AericWinter]

Good thinking, Yin.

And I'll try not to ask what other things you were thinking of... (c;

[celestialsam]

Ah, I think of eating white chocolate peanutbutter straight from the jar. Mmmm....and when it's gone....well, that's just very sad:(

[AericWinter]

White chocolate peanut butter?

Wow, that sounds... illegal. LoL

[celestialsam]

Oh, it very well should be. It's sinfully delicious! :P

[AericWinter]

Well, you certainly make it sound that way.

[funkmastero]

hey man sweet as! what frisbee are you using? i wnat one but i dont know wich one to get, what one is the best? disccrafts, ultrastar???

[AericWinter]

I use 175g disccrafts from the discshoppe, but don't really have a certain brand preference.

[sherryhumikowski]

I JUST saw this for the first time! I tried to watch it when it was first posted and couldn't but I'm glad I revisited it because WOW! What skills you have! I suck at frisbee...but I do love to play...*hugs* Sherry

[AericWinter]

Love is the main element. Skill just comes with practice. i'm glad you came back after YouTube wouldn't let you see it the first time. (=

[RealDeadOne]

I want a frisbee now.

[KittyWhisperer]

This is such a fun video - I really enjoyed watching you guys. I'm catching up on your vids and just watched your 'Rememberance' vid. Wouldn't it be nice if the citizens of the world world dwell on all of the things we have in common - even things as simple as a frizbee. Maybe there would be less inhumanity, terrorism and war....as John Lennon said a long time ago...Imagine

[AericWinter]

Yes, it would be nice. Call me deluded, but I still hope we can get there. Imagine that. (-:

[KrisShred]

erstmal.. cool, dass du auch frisbee spielst ;)

zweitmal.. die musik nach und vor deinem reden ist (meiner meinung nach) zu laut.

drittmal.. ich muss mal schauen, ob ich mal auf die neckarwiese gehe und auch n bissl meine frisbee-leute filme ;)

greetz

[AericWinter]

Cool, bist Du auch ein Chucker?

Hmmm, ich habs mir nochmal angehört, und es ist eher der Dialog der zu leise ist. Ist alles relativ, schätze ich. Und ein Video von Neckar-Chuckern fänd ich voll cool.

[KrisShred]

ja. ich spiel zwar kein ultimate (was es in HD auch gibt im uni-sport), aber weit- und genau-werfen, das mach ich wohl sehr gerne. vor- und rückhandwurf und overhead (also verkehrt herum) werf ich. und dann noch diesen, hm... weiss gar nicht wie man den nennt oder wie ich's beschreiben soll.. rechter arm im ca. 160grad winkel nach rechts oben auf schulterhöhe und dann gerade abwerfen...

vielleicht kommst du ja mal nach HD, dann zocken wir ne runde, ja? ;)

[AericWinter]

Nach dem was ich gerade in Deinem Video gesehen habe, würde ich sagen auf jeden Fall!

Mensch, die Neckarwiese sieht ja klasse aus!

[KrisShred]

Spielst du auch im Winter, [Herr Aeric Winter ;)] ?

Also ich nicht *grml* Mag das Wetter nicht.

Anywayzz.... Uni geht bald wieder los...

[AericWinter]

Nee, im Winter nur indoor. Was das angeht, bin ich aus Zucker. (c;

[KrisShred]

Huch, nach 8 Monaten ne Antwort - bin inzwischen ein ganz anderer Mensch ;o))

[AericWinter]

Naja. Besser spät als nie, oder? (c;

Aber Du hast recht, in den letzten acht Monaten hat sich viel verändert. Mensch, wie die Zeit vergeht...

[dove95]

I never thought a frisbee vid could be so fun! Makes me wish I knew how to play :) I'm only fairly good a bowling.

[AericWinter]

High time for a dove95 bowling skillz video then, I'd say. (c;

[dove95]

I knew you were going to say that ;) I'll see what I can do! Maybe I'll do a billiards one too!

[metalmonkey666]

hey um, this is`nt that good of a video. Um I play friss bee like that. But your better that most people. I would like to my "tamahawk" throw up one day thay. It a back hand slice its tight, ive knocked out 2 people with it.

[AericWinter]

Knocked out two people with it, huh? The rules of frisbee golf certainly have changed since I last had a look.

Hey, if you don't think this was that good of a video, why don't you go ahead and make a better one? I'd love to see it. Put your upload where your mouth is, bro. (c;

[shebitch]

SKILLZ SKILLZ! Impressive!!! Seriously, frisbee is harder than it seems, I had a frisbee career of 5 minutes once.

[AericWinter]

Ah, those five minute careers are the best. You can still look back proudly on that moment in life when you are ninety.

I vaguely remember you having skillz, too. Hmmm, weren't you a real good tennis player or something? *g*

[kobashii]

Holy crap. That was a long throw and all of those throws we're smooth. I wish I was still amazingly good at a sport (basketball in my case).

[AericWinter]

What happened? An injury ended your budding pro basketball career?

[kobashii]

No, a long story with many factors. However, I regret my decision to 'quit'.

[consensusSapientium]

you guys play disc golf over there?

[roderick123]

holy shit u guys are good, i wanna join the ultimate frisbee team!

[AericWinter]

Well, every university of any respectable size nowdays has one. Now there's something to look forward to when you start studying. (=

[roderick123]

kewl~

[onceyougoatee]

You continue to amaze me AericWinter. Although I guess that's pretty easy. Is there anything Germans don't have mad skillz at? (dood)

[AericWinter]

Hmmmm, telling knock knock jokes isn't a strong point of ours. That hilarious bit by Barats and Bereta... that wouldn't go down here in the fatherland. LoL

[korndolly666]

We are also getting the nice weather in Scotland

[DAKlives]

ahhh makes me miss frisbee

(sadly canes and frisbee don't really mix lol)

the formerly dead,

DAK

[Lobsterman2005]

Mannnnnnn,this so brought back some great memories for me,I always had a frizzbe near at hand , just in case anyone wanted to throw some.Great camara work by Liv.Good tunes.You do have "Skillz".

[hadrians]

Nice, I'll have to try that forehand throw next time I play frisbee :D

[JunkmanJim]

Lol, you are a total geek. I love you more for it and your skillz are excellent. Does Liv have any frisbee skillz? Or is this strictly for he-man geeks?

[AericWinter]

Oh no. In fact, the teams are usually mixed.

Liv certainly knows her way around the disc. But someone needed to do the filming. I'm glad, it turned out much better than I'd thought.

[r3av]

Those are some impressive frisbee skills, Aeric! I wish I was better at it, but anytime I play my partner better be prepared for a "Becker-Rolle" to catch it, haha!

[AericWinter]

There is actually a frisbee term for that, and it's called a 'layout'. Dood, we should totally chuck the disc nexttime I'm in your area. It's good to see you here. Where *have* you been?

[mikavera]

Bomfunk MC's kinda made it worse. :P I tried to learn the forehand throw last summer but the frisbee pretty much always ended up in the ground like 2 meters in front of me. And then I got frustrated.

[AericWinter]

Don't give up. You are a man, while it is just a piece of plastic.

I'd say you accidentally tilted the disk. It must be parallel to the ground when thrown. Try deliberately tilting it down when hauling back to compensate for that. Also, a quick spin is the essence of its flight's stability. The more spin, the better.

Now another go at it. Right now. Go on!

Good luck.

[dncnnanci5]

Haha, "non-geek skillz". Cool?

[SeeVeeBee]

I haven't played with a frisbee in years.. you just gave me the urge to go buy one!

Oh yes, and at the risk of inflating your ego..YOU DO HAVE SKILLS!! :)

[AericWinter]

That is so awesome. Did you know that we sometimes call a disk the D (or dee) in ultimate? You could dub yours the "SeeVeeBeeDee". (c;

[LizaJane77]

this so makes me want to go play frisbee..ever done frisby golf? :)

[LizaJane77]

guess I should read all your comments first..sigh

[AericWinter]

Haha, that's alright, LJ. I don't read through every comment before I post my own on someone else's video, either. It makes me look like a fool at times, but hey, nobody's perfect, right?

And go outside, play frisbee. Life is wonderful. Though frisbee is better when played with friends, imho.

[jonwedd]

MAD SKILZZZ YO! Seriously, I love Frisbee - used to rock it all the time on Daytona Beach. Called it "Crazy Catch" cuz we would just come up with the craziest catches we could. It was sweet. Also, lovin the soundtrack!

[AericWinter]

So what stopped you?

[jonwedd]

Just don't know anyone out here in KS that also likes to play. Good news is I will be in Huntington Beach, California this weekend with one of my old college buddies, and there will definitely be some Crazy Catch going on in the OC!

[AericWinter]

Awesome.

Hey, maybe you could record some disc footage yourself..?

[fourtwenty420]

That looked like a lot of fun! Though when it comes to frisbees I prefer playing frisbee golf. Oh, and I think you should embrace your geekiness knowing that we all know that there is soo much more to you than just that, and that is why we think you are great AW! Seeing your rockin' skills was neat though. =)

[AericWinter]

420squared, since I like you so much and we go way back, I shall ignore that part about

*shivers to say it*

frisbee golf.

*brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

(c;

[fourtwenty420]

I like you very much as well AW and as you said we go way back so I feel that I have to ask.. what ever is it about frisbee golf that makes you shiver so?? ;)

[OC5]

You got ultimate skillz, no doubt, but I am unsure whether one might call them "non-geek skillz."

All the folks I ever played ultimate with were geeks. You don't see jocks (American football players, etc.) playing the game.

Oh and sweet looking disk, incidentally.

All your disk belong to us!

[dooglus]

I agree. Frisbee is definitely associated with geeks in my mind.

[AericWinter]

Heh, that's true. Dan Brown says they even play it at CERN, or as I like to call it, Geek Central.

[captainpeppito]

mr winter...you continue to amaze your audience. good skills man!!

[AericWinter]

Merci, mon capitain. Of course my tightest skills diminish in the face of the sheer awesomeness of your dancing moves, brutha.

[captainpeppito]

lol!! you are too kind brother winter!

[thewinekone]

You're soooo good with your hands. *raises eyebrows* (Oh god, what am I saying?!)

[AericWinter]

*raises eyebrows*

I dunno, dood. What *are* you saying?

[ulanbat0r]

nette musikauswahl :)

[Emmalene]

I don't play ultimate frisbee cause frisbees have a thing for whacking me in the forehead

[AericWinter]

Yeah, those disks can be perfidious little bitches. Always gotta keep your eye one them.

[Urgelt]

A nice outing, Aeric, kudos to Liv for photography. I didn't see you doing any floaters... that's where you try to waft it very high and have it settle down in the hands of your sidekick. We used to do a lot of those in college. Tough challenge. :-)

[AericWinter]

You're right, I kept the floaters out of it. We aimed mainly to keep it quick and low, because the webcam overcompensates if you point it at the sky and turns everything dark. /c:

[Urgelt]

Ah, I should have known. You're a very accurate person; if you say "expert" you mean "expert." :-)

[cynterslave]

I wish we had parks like that around Baltimore! The only semi-safe area would be the Mall in DC.

[XVulcanRavenX]

Sunny days are the best. Hahahaha. Outdoor action. Gotta love it. Nice choice of musics. Nice editing too. An instructional video? Even awesomer. And in translation mode, man, this is better than reading a book. :) Thanks, dude. No wonder I'm a subscriber, YOU ROCK!!!!  Romedawg

[AericWinter]

Thanks, homie. I aim to be better than books. Don't always achieve that, though. (c;

[Latinlabel]

Got dizzy after watching, however nice skillz dude. I learned something new-the forehand throw. Do you boomerang 2? Good choice in music. Aeric, do0d that long throw was WOW!

[AericWinter]

Gracias, Quique. Anyone can manage the forehand with a little practice, it's all in the flick of the wrist. I do have a boomerang but I've not used it yet.

If you you're a master of the B, why not show us a video of your skillz?

[Latinlabel]

Not not a master of the B, but I'm fascinated by it. I watched a couple of vids on YT. Nothing special though. So I thought maybe you were an expert B throw/catcher.

[ellecallia]

Hallo!!! Sehr Spaβ! Ich wunsche, daβ ich spiellen können!

[hannahruth0]

Mad skillz do0d! ;-)

[fightmyeyes]

I have only played Ultimate once, but it was awesome. I was not awesome...because Ultimate is a sport. :) Still super fun, though.

By the way, your friend Ingo has the best name ever. For a frisbee sidekick.

[AericWinter]

Ah, Übung macht den Meister (practice makes perfect).

It's a fun game, you should totally try it again.

[moe29]

More of LIV, less of buff frisbee dudes : )

[AericWinter]

No way, Liv totally pwns us at ultimate. I can't be made to look bad on my own channel, now can I? (c;

[Gigolo8]

Sometimes it sounded like you were calling Ingo 'Igor' LOL. Love the new effects! Fun vid and great camera handling by Liv!

[AericWinter]

I know, Liv's shooting was awesome. We didn't have to film a single sequence twice. And keep in mind that this is a notebook webcam designed for business people to hold quick conference chats when they're on the move. I don't think it was designed for frisbee filming.

[ilvsockmonkeys]

That's pretty impressive thinking about it.. :)

[morbidangel]

OMG! you guys rock!
