I watched this over and over with my team mates on the bus going to my very first tournament. These guys became my idols. Ultimate is a tiny sport in Denmark and yet I was able to eventually play both with and against a few of the legends shown in this video, and I was watching the Sockeye game live with Flemings insane catch. Such good memories!

Seriously, Fleming's catch gives me chills...everytime

This highlight reel is not strictly a "Best Highlight" reel, but a combination of my best highlights and an opportunity to showcase the players who have made the biggest impact in the major tournaments that I have covered. This is my attempt to tell the story of UltiVillage in a way that will captivate the attention of ultimate fans and anyone who can appreciate the athleticism this sport requires to play at the elite level. Stay tuned for the women's version coming soon. Rob

Este fue el vídeo que más me impacto hace 12 años cuando estaba empezando a jugar, gracias a él hoy día continuo jugando y enseñando este deporte.

one of the best greatests i have ever seen.

Sick! Totally awesome!

3:34, probably the sickest layout catch I've seen

Sport: An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment

The weather always looks good in these videos, they should try playing outdoors in UK! Sick video.

This looks way too fun!

At 3:33 The dude ages like 20 years in a split second. lmao

It's really fun to play this sport :D

That's why you catch the D. Great video :D

it's unbelievable, he is such a boss

i played in college before sunset.........damn! its more exciting than studying my lessons....

Very VERY well done video. Good job

this video is awesome!!!

My favorite sport. Ultimate Frisbee mas que un deporte un estilo de vida!

3:17 is the best one. That guy is a good two feet above the others!

1:46...Fleming's trailing edge grab...unreal.

when the hat came off at 3:39, that guy went from looking about 15 to 50 hahaha

That awesomeness is called a greatest. If can jump from inbounds and throw the disc back in (before you land OB) and if someone catches it, its a point.

I heard about Ultimate Frisbee. Don't know really much about it...but it looks ok. I may have to actually watch one of my friend's games.

I'm already on board!

Still the best video

Congratulations from spain ( ultimate video editor) Where i find this song and more of this group? Thanks! Great video! good job!

Freaking awesome

epic vid, but im not too familiar w/ the game. i know that the goal is to pass the firsbee through the end zone. i was wondering why in the video sometimes the player would catch the disc and instead of stopping because i think youre not allowed to take anymore steps, they run n jump around or just toss the disc up like at 1:22 and they kinda celebrate? is that the end of the game? i thought points are only received when you pass the end zone. sorry if this is a dumb question

2:15 look at the lady holding the white umbrella! :o

this sport looks hella cool, do colleges have UF teams?

Actually that really depends on who is running the tournament. Some organizations do have refs and some don't. But that aside, Ultimate players spirit for the game is huge

Man I wish we had tournaments around here

what song is this? :o

@MemphisT56 which greatest play?? Worlds 2010 Andrew Flemming´s catch do you mean? Is the last one if you couldn´t saw it. Ultivillage is awesome!!!. Greetings from Colombia=)

Every one of these guys should play a CB in football or WR cuz they catch crazy lay-outs

@Zillamp3z Several of the clips are from the World Championships and the World Club Championships. So, yes.

2:47 looks like a strip to me Awesome video

just played ultimate Frisbee for the 1st time tonight, fucking LOVED it.

There's a difference between cheering, and telling your opponent, "Nice catch," or "nice throw." There is no shame in that. Clapping =/= Cheering. Cheering = "WHOO YEAAAH!" Clapping = "Well done."

Ultimate

2:36 is the such an unreal catch

So what's the actual rule about contact when going for a disc? If two players jump for the same disc and smack into each other in the air, is that a foul or what?

Yeah, i meant to say that and said it in my follow up comment, but you're correct.

@CinnamonBunz55 since when did a game being on tv make it a sport??

@UKHOGGY Yeah there really are a tonne of teams

@UKHOGGY where are you based? There is a tournament this weekend (4th/5th June) in London (Richardson Evans Memorial Playing Fields). Come and watch!

one of the other things is that you have the right to the space above you which means if contact is made your space above you its a foul...it really does still come down to how the involved players feel though

@jagcag123 not at all. I would consider that a bobble for sure. There is no way you can say that he had possession of that disc.

i want to be one of these guys one day

@SurfinHollister when you catch the disc in the end zone that you're attacking

Song anyone

# 6 who did the layout block, look at his reaction at 0:24. lol

The first catch in this is SO much better than Andrew Felmings big one in Worlds in 2010!

holy shit mike caldwell threw that back in to a teammate? can someone tell me what happened there? 1:36

@deejaysmoothblend to point i to catch it in the endzone. They only jump up and celebrate after they score.

@jhimm It's not a foul: The principle of verticality does NOT state that entering someone's airspace is necessarily a foul. At 0:47, there is no contact preventing a blue player from catching the disc; rather, they don't catch it because Beau (#50 in red) gets there first and highest. Any subsequent contact is irrelevant.

i wish my body slide that much when i played ultimate in the beggining of the vid

That ending though.

yes

bald spot or no bald spot, that was on ESPN

In the endzone, obviously.

no dylan freechild?

can someone explain the rules to me? sorry but i ifnd this awesome but i have no idea whats going on :L

what is it with them and bald patches..

@UKHOGGY there are tons of ultimate teams in the UK dude. every university team has one

@shtayve COOL ARGUMENT, BRO. YOU MADE SO MANY GREAT POINTS.

2:47 = Awesome.

I saw Fleming's catch live... this camera angle doesn't give him credit. It looked totally impossibly to catch. They were practically both halfway, and he ran it halfway down the field, a disc that looked like it was getting away from him the whole time. It was INSANE.

is this a sport people play internationaly?

@P8ballK0 how is that unsportmanly? that's like saying Tiger Woods' famous fist pump isn't good sportsmanship.... it's a product of performing a great feat/play and being overcome with emotion. I do that type of stuff in every sport i play because of precisely that.

Really. Josh Zipperstien. What an awesome name. HAHAHA.

never gonna get the disc if you are too slow to get open anyway :/

I don't think I've seen a better play, let alone catch, in any other sport, than Fleming's catch

S O C K E Y E ! !

this sport looks dangerous nty

@crazyhillbillies Yeah, college teams are what really started the sport.

@jhimm Incidental contact is contact defined as contact that has no effect on the play. The player who did not jump, for example, wasn't going to get the disc and therefore any contact with him is irrelevant and incidental. Also, denying someone their vertical space by moving them sideways is also irrelevant to the principle of verticality (though a reasonable normal foul).

@jagcag123 its only an illegal play if "mike grant" intentionally tipped the disc to himself to gain more yards but since they were both going for it and the disc got tip unintentionally the play would still stand.

2:37 is unreal

HEll yee!!

2:35 hey der! ;)

man...it always seems to be windless...

@shtayve ok i respect that

i don't know about the rest of you... but i'm not a huge fan of people slamming the disk after a good play. Ultimate has a reputation for good sportsmanship guys... lets keep it that way

we cant, too cold >_< !

it was actually on tv today, and theres kind of a pro league but it kinda sucks. itll happen though

@Mookmod A Hammer

I love Caldwells Greatest!

Thats landing in the grass.

gah i wish i was that good...

I think you misunderstood, I think not having a ref is great, spirit of the game is what make ultimate the great sport it is, I know world disc gamers that have fessed up to game winning catches that didn't quite make it-spirit of the game

@shtayve yea actually it is a sport

oh andrew flemming had hair this catch

3:15 how's your head

This is before his time. These were from 2009 mostly.

@ponsinator lol thats probably why they wear hats :P

The ridiculous mac grab at 2:01 is Angus Keenan (Thong vs Buzz Bullets 2006 WUCC open final). Freak!

you mean like hockey?

seattle ftw

Mike Grant: best player ever
