| − | I actually live near an attractive park and, each day, I see teams of people enjoying themselves with what has become a favored recreation here in my neighborhood -- the frisbee. Their fascination has guided me to do my own, personal kind of research into this [http://www.loveultimatefrisbee.com/ Frisbee] craze. It's really quite interesting.

| − | The frisbee, as we all know, is the most popular name for those soaring discs or traveling saucers. They are usually made of plastic and they are about 20 to 25 centimeters of 8 to 10 inches in diameter. These frisbees are meant to fly aerodynamically when someone throws them in the air with rotation and they could be caught by hand. Playing with a frisbee is like playing catch with a rubber ball, although frisbees are much more fun.

| − | There are many types of frisbees available in the supermarkets and other commercial venues. There are disc golf discs, which are smaller but denser than your typical frisbee, plus they are made to follow a particular flight profile that can increase or decrease their distance and stability. Once people realized that dogs just love chasing those flying frisbees down, they designed special discs made up of more pliable material that are more resistant to the bite of a dog and which can prevent injuries to the dog that are often associated with more rigid materials. After that, naturally the next [http://www.loveultimatefrisbee.com/ Ultimate Frisbee] craze was in the form of disc dog competitions which tested the disc-catching skills of dogs. There are also now ring-like discs that are similar to Saturn's rings and these are known as Aerobies and they normally fly farther than the regular frisbee. The latest frisbee incarnation takes the form a lit flying disc which is growing more and more popular for night and evening time play. It's called a flashflight disc and players can enjoy playing with them even when the sun goes down.
