Product Description

Product Description

 

Some say that Ultimate is the most misunderstood team flying disc field running sport on the planet. Most people think it’s Frisbee football played barefoot and without boundaries. Those people are wrong. Ultimate is a sport played by 824,000 people a year in North America—more than korfball, lawn darts, lacrosse, and curling combined. Ultimate is so popular that it even has rules that are sometimes followed.

This book will provide you with complete and total knowledge of the Ultimate game.

THIS BOOK INCLUDES:

-- The Eight Ultimate Player Types

-- The 42 Most Common Nicknames

-- 28 Near-Useless Throws on the Field

-- How to Name Your Ultimate Team

-- Where to Play Ultimate Without Being Mocked

-- How to Score at an Ultimate Party

-- Useful Playing Tips from Experts of the Game

 
PLUS: HOW TO PLAY ULTIMATE IN EIGHT EASY STEPS – AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE

-- Can I play Ultimate with a mustache?

-- Where do Ultimate babies come from?

-- How can I become an Ultimate champion without practicing?

-- What is “throwing Fire”?

-- How can I survive a shark attack?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Book Ever on the Sport of Ultimate, May 6 2008
By James C. Fleming "Jim Fleming" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ultimate: The Greatest Sport Ever Invented by Man (Paperback)
I bought this book expecting some explanation of the game and maybe some humor, but what I found is one of the funniest non-fiction books I've ever read. Anyone who's ever at least dipped their toe into strange athletic cult that is organized ultimate should have this on their coffee table. The parts about the "8 types of ultimate player" are hilariously right on the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humorous Take on Ultimate Culture, Dec 6 2010
By Jason G - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ultimate: The Greatest Sport Ever Invented by Man (Paperback)
A great read. Very funny. Great illustrations and its written with an insiders perspective (and authorial voice) that will resonate with anyone who has been on the inside of Ultimate culture. (And its a great expose of it for the non-initiated outsider who's curious what it's all about).
