One day, during my junior year of high school in the late 70's, a friend of mine had started to try to self-teach himself the forehand Frisbee PITCH. For one day, I became determined to try to learn it before him.
Lo and behold, it never came that day, nor in the next month. For someone to self-teach themselves the Frisbee forehand, it takes a lot of persistence.
However, I enlisted all my good friends to help me by becoming catching partners. Still with no good luck. Then in the summer of that year, I resorted to something very extreme. I began to practice in my apartment, by attempting to throw a forehand completely through the length of the apartment. Which entailed me standing at the entryway door, and attempting to fly the disc through the living room, on through a very narrow hallway, and still through a bedroom doorway to finally hit the wall at the other end of the bedroom. Then, I'd walk all the way to the end of the apartment and attempt it going the other way. Back and forth until victory.
Eventually, I amazed myself by mastering the Frisbee forehand so that, on call, I could "flick" the shot straight and level, moving in a gravity-defying-way completely through the apartment, without ever hitting a wall or doorway. Probably a total of 60 feet. From then on, I found it translated into more amazing feats of skill and accuracy outdoors.
In the process, I recruited my best friend, Doug, who is now also a Frisbee Professional. Together we began to push the envelope more and more with everything Frisbee. .."color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
Fast forward about 20 years, when Doug and I were practicing what was to become our Frisbee school assembly routine, and I came up with the idea that the forehand was still too elusive for any new player to accomplish without a ton of trials and errors.. As a result, I proposed we should develop some sort of basic instructions to reveal the Do's and Don'ts behind doing a "gravity-defying forehand." Doug added that we could teach a couple other throws and make it into a classic video, and BAM, we were on our way.
Doug had a contact high-up in Montana PBS Corporation, and one day we walked in without an appointment and made the pitch to him. He loved the idea from the beginning and as a result, we produced the acclaimed DVD " Heave H.O.E. " (Heaven On Earth) Basic instructions for all flying disc students.
Nowadays the DVD is being used by hundreds of PE teachers across the country who are interested in instantly starting up a smart consciousness in youngsters. The miracle (and thrill) of throwing a Frisbee with precision. Indeed, just one viewing of this DVD, changes any viewer's Frisbee skills for life. And that translates into HUGE fun for a lifetime!
No more weak "tosses," because Heave H.O.E changes flying disc students into highly accurate Frisbee pitchers and catchers -much to the delight of everyone!

And oh yeah, we suggest to kids to use the Heave H.O.E. style of throwing as a sign of peace and friendship in this world, and to get busy spreading these instructions to others.

Below is an exerpt from 12/05 radio show on KGLT-FM 91.9 in Bozeman MT -broadcasting across Montana:"Tonight.. as your Mystery DJ, Motodom.com, I'd like to take you on a mental journey, using a simple toy, such as a Frisbee disc, as the object behind a potential Nobel Prize for peace. And who knows, perhaps legitimate team of "Johnny Appleseeds" for the flying DISC now-a-days, could end up winning one Nobel Prize someday!"CLICK HERE TO HEAR THE (Real Audio) REAL TIME STREAMING AUDIO ofree Format Radio: KGLT FM

Besides Frisbee Exhibitions and disc golf.. raising my two teenage boys.Here is a glimpse of the city park we are creating, from the ground up, for the community!

A recent article about our Frisbee school assembly.

In case you want some history on all this, around 2001 we (founders of motodom.com,) co-founded the Course of DISCovery Education (C.O.D.E.) as a non-profit org with the Gallatin Foundation 501c3, for benefit to the people throughout Gallatin County.

We were then given 21 acres of flat land in the middle of Bozeman, to turn into a city park that is totally dedicated to the flying disc.
Our designs were to include a series of predesigned berms, sculpted out of 10,000+ truckloads of fill dirt and topsoil, donated over 5 years! (IT may be the one and only DISC golf community course in the country that has been built from blueprints -like a typical golf course.) To the delight of the community players.

After we designed it, we approached contractors for the donations of construction and material. When that started to roll in, we submitted a grant application to the City, and they awarded us $75,000 cash for the project in 2002! We then submitted another grant application to FWP, and they awarded us another $75,000 cash in 2003! Everything else from the land, to the construction, has come in from some large individual donations (totalling $2,600,000)! By the way, in case you were wondering, we don't take a penny of it. All cash goes to construction and materials -when we can't get it (or part) through in-kind donations.

The pics are always coming in for recent activity. This Fall '07, everything should be wrapped up. Watch for some more dynamic pics in the coming months.

Then, as all of you already know, we will continue with our follow-up C.O.D.E. programs for the schools here. Giving the PE teachers great tools to use in classes, including our exciting Frisbee school assembly, and Frisbee lesson plans, and Heave H.O.E. throwing instructions on DVD. These educational tools, combined with a free city disc golf park, will hopefully promote... "better health and social responsibility in youth with flying disc sports," over a lifetime! Something I think the U.S. populace could really use right now.

FYI

------------------------------
Total Park project= $2,750,000 !
-------------------------------
Land 21 acres = $2,000,000 and growing
Berms = $600,000 in construction and material
Park Fixtures = $150,000 for disc golf course:
baskets and tee pads, picnic benches, parking lot, wells, irrigation, 150 trees and bushes, seed, trails.

Enjoy the pics!

I'd like to meet:

All the top 100 Disc golfers and Ball golfers - men and women.

AND all the PE teachers of Myspace.com!

Music:

I am actually an alumni (DJ) of the nationally regarded radio station KGLT. Nationally regarded because of a couple reasons. One, is that it's of the very few stations in the U.S. to play a changing format every 3 hours. It's called free format which includes rock, hip hop, blues, blue grass, country, reggae etc etc. 91.9 KGLT

Movies:

"Ground Hog's Day," and a close second would be "What the Bleep Do We Know?"

Television:

OK, I'll even admit it here. I became hooked on watching the Apprentice, because I come from a business management background. I love to watch for any brilliant "ah ha!" moments from thinking outside the box that helps contestants win a task, which are few and far between! And I like to watch it for the absolute Bozo's they get who think they are hot stuff, but keep trippingover themselves, again, few and far between, but there seems to be one on every season.Last of all, I love to watch anything about Poker, UFC, and anything on the Science and Discovery Channels.

Books:

Any books about science, space and astronomy. Plus books about positive thinking.. which can lead one to more beauty and joy.

Heroes:

All Icebowl contestants.

My parents. My good friend Doug Quam who was like a big brother as I was growing up.. ( and heck, I'm still growing up!) And Cary Silberman, who is one of the top disc golf pros in Montana, who's demeanor I admire on and off the disc golf course.
