Sometimes you don’t want someone to go behind your back. Mike Beacham is going to go behind my back more than 37 times in one minute. In fact, he’s going to throw more frisbees behind my back in one minute than have ever been thrown before. If I can snag more than 37 of them we’ll break my first 2-person Guinness World Record.
If you want to come watch the attempt will take place at 5:20 PM at the HP Soccer/Ultimate Fields on Thursday, May 10th at the end of the last Centennial Ultimate practice.

I have plenty of experience catching stuff as a juggler… in fact, I make more catches in a single juggling practice than a serious ultimate player would have in a year. The problem is I’m not an expert disc thrower. Mike is. It’s a match made in heaven… or maybe our backyards. He’s a competitive ultimate player traveling all over the region to compete. He was also part of a team that set a world record for longest game of ultimate a few years back.
This record has been previously held by YouTube star and Frisbee trick shot expert Brodie Smith. He got 31, the current record is 37.
I have had several bruised and bloodied fingers practicing for this attempt but I can’t blame that on Mike. We’re feeling pretty good about our chances on Thursday even if we have to fight 15+ MPH winds.
