October 1st 2006 - Joe & John On BBC 1's Question Of Sport

On Friday 22nd September, Joe and John appeared in front of millions on UK national television channel BBC 1. They appeared in popular sports entertainment quiz show 'A Question Of Sport'; a program that has been running for over 35 years, during which time many of the world's biggest sporting personalities have taken part. The format of the show involves two rival teams, each consisting of three sportspeople, competing via a series of interactive rounds and varying styles of questions.



One of the quiz's most-loved segments, entitled 'Mystery Guest',  has the teams trying to work out the identity of a top sporting star, who appears in a video clip, participating in an activity unrelated to their own sport. In Friday's episode, this segment involved cricketing legend Sir Viv Richards trying his hand at Freestyle Frisbee! The clip first featured John and Joe demonstrating a plethora of freestyle Co-Ops and moves. Then Sir Viv strolls into the clip, and, courtesy of Joe and John, is taught some of the basics of freestyle (with a spinjammer, mind)!

20th February 2006 - Panto AfterShow Party Demonstration Video

Johninho & Joe 'The Flow' recently performed a freestyle demonstration at the aftershow party of a local pantomime (traditional British comedic play). John had done the sound & lighting for this play while both he and Joe had family members staring in it. The Demo was performed at about midnight and was a done as a bit of a 'skit' on one of the dance routines from the play (this explains some rather strange antics at beginning of the demo).

6th September 2005 - PRO DISC FREESTYLE WRISTBANDS! NOW AVAILABLE!

 

Fairly recently we have had some limited edition 'Pro Disc Freestyle' wristbands made! The bands are a combination of red, blue and white! They say 'Pro Disc Freestyle' on one side and 'Share The Spin' on the other (we apologise for the lack of clearness in the picture)!

The wirstbands are worn by many top freestylers around the globe including Tom Leitner, Dave Lewis and Arthur Coddington!!

Only 60 of these bands were ever made so stocks are very limited! We are now making them available for purchase online! In a few days you will find a link here to the online auction website, ebay! The bands will be sold here for a 'Buy It Now' price of £2.50 (about $4.60). Any bids lower than £2.50 will not be accepted so please do not bother! Shipping will cost £1 worldwide (about $1.84). We apologise about the price of the bands as they are fairly expensive. This is due to high production costs of over £2 for each band. The small profit made will go towards helping team ukDiscstyle to 'Share The Spin' in the UK. It will help us with the upkeep and maintenance of this site and will help when arranging demonstrations like the recent one we did at Walmer Bridge Fete (see below for video!).

Please keep checking this space as the link to ebay will be up very shortly!!!

2nd September 2005 - WALMER BRIDGE SUMMER FETE FREESTYLE DEMONSTRATION!
