webcam entry Feb
9, 2006 |
Found some old footage today of the very first Frisbee Board
Break. (That 1.1.88 in the corner, is one of those camera battery
things..) This must have been more like in
1998 or 1999. By the way.. this video was prior to making one for the
Late Show. The bags had to be
moved over to protect the mirror to the right! It was almost broken on
a couple attempts.

See the video of this first time event. |

Tuesday Moto2 with 46 year old knees that need to be whipped into shape. "Use it or lose it," is the cry of the HOE Dude! |

Jhoon
Rhee |
Friday A (70+) SUPERMOTO! 10th degree Tae Kwon Do Grandmaster Pretty sure that Jhoon Rhee does 1,000 push ups a day, and 5,000 sit ups a day. Even if he is sick. And there's us, getting excited about 60 push ups and 160 sit ups a day at 46-50 years old! Part of his philosophy is to get a full 100 years of wisdom, in the body of a 21 year young. (T-minus 55 days until the next Motodom.com School Assembly, on April 10th, 2006) |

Saturday TWO Weeks after .. complete replacement hip surgery, the motos went out to one of their favorite current pads, and practiced the first segment of the school assembly program. Without a hitch. Even tho Mote1 was in form, he didn't want to do any "toes" today. Too painful. Maybe that will change with time, but it wouldn't be a real great loss in the program, even if it has to be cut out on the one end. Reminder, (an early MOTOism philosophy) "If one moto can't, the other one usually can!" |
Saturday Accuracy, as usual, was pretty key. Neither Mote could afford to move much more than one step. Which is, like, (What can they say?) They're not good because they're freaks. They're good because they're just too old to catch anything else!" :-) Just kidding, they can take maybe at least ONE step!....:-) T-Minus 41 days (and counting until next scheduled school assembly, on April 10th, 2006) |
Saturday
Nice! Getting the solar system (Sun) into the jam! (Good form too!) |
|
Tuesday
2 weeks after, (T-Minus 38 days - April
10:)
The
goal, is to eventually be in "better"
health after surgey, than before. And have better mobility, with NO pain. Pain
-all gone! (but that's not today)
Walking up a step "in good form,"with a new hip, pushes the limits of one's pain, but it must be done! (But I mean, hasn't this poor leg already been through enough trauma?) (now I'm speaking for the leg....) |

Sunday A glimpse of one of the top five Bag tags (#4) :-) Only the top five are in the coveted red/orange color! Moto2 the proud owner, but how long can he hold on to it!?? Challengers are hot on his trail. |
|
Sunday Challenger ...#8..... rears its gray head. The game is afoot! |
|
Sunday One must watch out for "widowmakers" at the hollow. This is one that came down right where we walk between hole #1 and hole #2. |
|
Sunday Last shot on hole 18... Moto2 retains #4 bag tag |

Monday Some old footage from 1993. As a fourth degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Moto1 was raising money for Diabetes Foundation and broke 5000 boards, all by himself, in a board break-a-thon. Notice the swollen hands! He later described it as an event of self-inflicted torture. Today, as a (wiser) fifth degree black belt, he will leave this feat for others. However, says he may be talked into gracefully throwing half of the 3000 Frisbee disc throws, at the World Trade Center, in remembrance of all the innocent lives lost on 9/11/01 -and as a signal for the masses of others around the world who would like to share a sign of solidarity to live in peace. |
But he was still healing, and soon after this day, he began to have no pain. And no pain, was something that he hadn't felt for the last 6 years! See more of his stories below, within months afterhaving total hip replacement surgery. |
Monday APRIL 10TH Back in the saddle today. Flawlessly, Moto1 was able to perform as if he hadn't even had surgery. No change. |
BTW on the Diamond X Disc Golf Course last year, Moto2 Walked into a den of rattlesnakes early in the morning one day while practicing. They love to lay out in the early morning sunshine.. to warm up..then they go underground until night time. |
Wed. Scoping out new holes at Diamond X. Billings Montana Here we are rangefinding & notetaking the airfairways for perfect shots in future tournaments. The tournaments here are often in 100 degree temperatures, combined with dangerous cliffs, climbing, and shot making. Numbers of people quit. Moto1 completed two rounds in a tournament here 9 weeks after hip surgery. YES! AND he claims to feel no more pain. At least no more pain than any normal athletic man has. |
Friday
Unusually good media attention at one of the smalltown malls in Washington. What will it be like in Reading, PA? |
|
Friday On the evening road again, heading to another city a few hours away. To plant and fertilize yet another field of great Frisbee disc throwing kids, with another school assembly. Moto1 is in great shape. Apparently he could now go on forever. So the goal: See how we can keep doing this for 40 more years. |
Sunday M.O.H.O. ! (More Of Heaven On.) |

Sunday Bag tag round. Bi-Moto Putt set-up. |
