Welcome to Eduardo, one of the hottest players on the scene! The young Edo started playing with his Dad and a Daffy Duck Disc. At 17, he saw Andrea Festi playing at a music festival and his Freestyle journey began in Rovereto along with Mattia Colombaria, & Fillipo Bortot. All sorts of amazing connections came as a result. The four horsemen of Rovereto began playing inside during the winter, and their game hit another level. It was at the 2017 Worlds in Udine, Italy where they all earned a place in the finals, that Eduardo was truly inspired to deepen his game. And deepen it he did!

Four years and counting!  Thanks to all of our Patrons and donors for supporting our efforts!

We start the journey with Su Strait and where it all began in Central Park. Dance was her passion but not her people. Frisbee allowed that passion for dance to continue through her love of freestyle and the people who were part of it. Su tells us about the beginnings of her partnership with Jane Englehart – arranged marriage? She talks about van life and the journey to the Rose Bowl plus much more.

Below is the link to download Fabio Sanna’s and Rick Moody’s drawing of the iconic photo of Su Strait’s bad attitude catch.
