The toy that changed many lives and is forever linked to the college recreational scene turns 60 today.
Chasing the piece of plastic has led me around the country and the world, created many lifelong friendships and even introduced me to my wife. Happy birthday, old friend!

As seen on the bottom of the disc:

Play catch
Invent games
To fly flip away backhanded
Flat flip flies straight
Tilted flip curves
Experiment

That's great!

As he ages you probably shouldn't throw him air shots. Its hard on the joints. I throw my dogs rollers instead. They get the great exercise without stressing out their bodies by jumping and tourquing.

Your dog has serious ups and great catching ability.

Would he be interested in playing football for South Carolina?

I once was told that it's impossible to look cool while picking up a frisbee. Truer words have never been spoken.

Yeah I'm worried he's gonna tear an ACL or something because of how aggressive he gets. He just turned 2 so it think it's okay for him

Um, pretty sure Marty McFly invented it back in the 1800s making it way older than 60.

False.

It was invented in 1885.
