I WAS CHALLENGED TO A DISTANCE CONTEST!! Vlogmas Day 13

[@Shivs1989]

Simon is the king of good sportsmanship. and chill energy

[@colonelJ77]

Hes a bit conceded...

[@kevinm6885]

@@colonelJ77 I was thinking the same thing. If you're driving 700+ feet, be a little bit humbler or just lay into the ego thing. I'd respect the humbleness and I'd think being overly-egotistical would be hilarious. Being somewhere in-between isn't a good look as he seems like he's fighting to urge to shit on the guy.

[@Scrumdawgrizzillionaire]

@@colonelJ77 I mean it’s okay to have a bit of pride around being extremely good at something nothing wrong with a little bit of that energy especially when he matches it with being very humble at other times. I mean he gave his trophy from the glitch tournament to the kid who tied him for first even though he won the tiebreaker. Pretty cool move if you ask me.

[@brandonstevens1832]

@@Scrumdawgrizzillionaire It's okay to have pride but bro was legit "you throw far, but I'm like way further" and "No one throws further than me". I like Simon a lot, but he's definitely chilled since his earlier videos. I'd agree with Kevin. Lay into being the heel ( for humor) or be a bit more humbler. This was pretty cringe to watch and bordered on autofellatio.. and again, I love Simon. The tournament disc thing.. I mean. What adult would tie a child, beat him, and keep the disc? Good move by Simon. I think most viewers would've lost respect had he not done something given the stature he has over a random kid wanting to live his dream. Simon showed a lot of maturity. But again.. people will hate on him because he made it a public thing on social media - that doesn't bother me at all. It's not like he's going around doing "giving money to homeless people + bragging about it on video". He's a class act these days.

[@antiwhatever5391]

Questions I never have to ask when I’m playing “is that over 200m” haha

[@mitchellphillips4691]

Except when referring to the basket 😂

[@mikejones8866]

I can't even throw a distance driver 300 feet and Simon does it with a putter. Good grief.

[@liiiinder]

@@mikejones8866 Then you shouldnt throw anything over speed 7 (if you dont throw it for the extra fade)

[@Nick-tx2fl]

I’m still working on 100m

[@jamesstables6636]

I think meters because of his German background

[@sethusk]

Simon: "All the good ones start young." Me who started playing at 40: "Well, heck."

[@FuckGoogle2]

I started young, then I stopped, started again, stopped and back at it again, still trash.

[@brownster4865]

Started at 46 :(..

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

Same here and after 3 year into game i average 330 ft with golf shot never tried on field can i go much further.

[@brokenrecord3523]

57 - 275

[@pbgamble]

He's more talking about the mechanics and flight characteristics. If you start young you've found your stroke and it can look effortless throwing. It's the same for older throwers, you just gotta put in the field work. I started at 39, this May will be 3 years. I've not measured field shots recently but I can park 350' holes with a Leo3 on a shot like they're throwing here. And a few days ago parked a 450' hole with a Flippy Boss on a hyzer flip to turnover shot that they're throwing. You can do it👍

[@JewsyJew]

Well if anyone ever questioned whether Simon still had it or not you best bet he still does. I cant even imagine throwing anything this far let alone max weight discs

[@zachwilson7061]

I like how on tour he's been taking it easy yet still out drives most just know it's there still

[@gkincborafjs4202]

it really makes sense now seeing this how he could get some wind assisted blizzard plastic up over 1000 feet

[@remmer3380]

Max weight and un thrown???

[@jacksonpalmer8955]

I broke 600’ once… downhill with a tailwind and a huge road skip 😂 dude threw 106’ further than me and only got stopped because he ran out of flat 😭

[@sturock2000]

While also sailing the disc 100ft in the air. Seeing him and Eagle throw in person is just different. Their release breaks the sound barrier.

[@tristansmith2683]

Simons 2 shots line up perfectly with 2 time stamps 6:44 644’ & 7:08 708’ mind blown 🤯

[@HaikesXO]

That’s insane

[@glaabaglooba]

Aliens

[@tommydouglas3911]

I don't know what's more impressive - The clever easter egg of editing that made that so, or the fact that you noticed it...

[@johnmaynard3463]

Too bad he didn't throw another a couple minutes later...

[@crimsontide1980]

Sp you're saying maybe the Earth IS flat?

[@SpencerDonahue]

"560...thats weak" Almost died after that legendary line. :)

[@ogkennedy1787]

me to damn

[@brandonstevens1832]

I'll be honest, if you're throwing 400-ish ft into these "somewhat normal" conditions, you'll probably push close to 475. I also believe Nick has thrown over 600ft without wind aid. So not hitting 600 with a perfect wind was disappointing. He could've pushed 700ft but didn't hit the right angle.

[@xcaliber6002]

I love that he still has it after a few years of not throwing distance.

[@jacobteglgaardjakobsen3653]

This year, you’ve really smashed vlogmas. And you are even winning everything. Can’t wait for tomorrow 🤓👍

[@meb212]

He didn't win the putting league though.

[@ablinkontime9890]

There's nothing to win right now. You smashed that comment.

[@krypticoctopus6892]

He also lost his own trivia 😂 Still gotta love Simon!

[@TheAndreps]

and he didn't ace but we like you anyway :)

[@jimib81]

Still a pretty epic vlogmas so far.

[@bmo7377]

That was fun to watch, I would love to see some more distance contests between pros, and props to Nick for hanging in there with the final boss of distance.

[@char1ie965]

They don’t really matter due to some of the reasons Simon mentioned. Tiny wind changes can effect the distance 100 feet. Too much is out of the players hands really

[@emtblife8944]

Can't help but smile when I watch Simon's videos.

[@marks9444]

Simon has the perfect combination of honest confidence and humility

[@mediabrds05]

Incredible sportsmanship. Still reminds me of a championship up and comer calling out a great mma fighter or boxer. It really shows the different levels to this

[@rext0r670]

When simons warmup with a putter is my max.. feelsbadman

[@Nick-tx2fl]

I thought the same. “300 feet with a putter!” I’m like dude, I barely stretch out to 300 feet with my sidewinder, which is my farthest flying disc. 350 is an absolute crush for me haha

[@MiguelG209]

Simon is incredible. Never ceases to amaze me. I wish I could throw half as far lol

[@Hisa1shi]

*ceases

[@AndyLundeen]

I think I'm almost to halfway xD

[@jhski182]

Dying to see a distance duel between you and eagle !

[@norwayflippers5886]

Simons form is just so insanely nice to watch! You can just feel the power from that sling shot effect

[@mmyers252]

One of the best things about this guy ....he uses his platform to not only showcase his talent but always gives others a place to be seen . TOP NOTCH DUDE!!!

[@mmyers252]

I would have no clue who Casey was without Simon

[@whiskeypixels]

When you mail a letter do you just tape it to a disc and SEND IT?

[@Bongobananjuice]

It’s insane how far Simon throws, considering his elbow injury

[@rimrockcollective9543]

Agreed...I think down the road, Simon's injury could be a positive. He's learned so much more about his arm, his exertion and his game by having to understand when to push and when to cut back.

[@zulou2315]

Maybe it is now a bionic elbow 😏

[@wireycoyote3544]

Its insane how confidently you posted that comment, considering it makes no sense.

Awesome. Since there’s only five throws the advantage would go to the seasoned pro. That’s good you gave him the extra throws to hit his line.

[@chrislight4325]

That was awesome! Way to put it on the line Simon. Hail to the King of Mass. 😂 That guy was a crusher though for sure!

[@Peilla]

That fella throwing with you is no joke!

[@cpbiggers]

One of my favorite memories was watching Nick Eco throw 600 ft + bombs off the top of the hill at BDF after the distance competition. There was a line of people just handing him discs to throw. Great video!

[@captain34g]

This has been such an awesome vlogmas and still tons to come. Really been enjoying the content and keep that elbow safe!

[@timolonnberg3205]

I gotta thank you for the role model you are for the kids (and for the older kids ;) especially my 15yrs son. He switched sports from ice hockey to discgolf this year and I was not so happy, he was doing alright and hockey is my life long sport of choice. But ofcourse I support him whatever the hobby is and that in mind I started to dig into discgolf and especially the active youtube community. Thats how I found out about you and your vlogs and videos. After watching propably 30 of your videos I am so happy that my son choose discgolf as his hobby. Your example is SO positive, so healthy and good for growing kids. Thanks man and all the best from Finland (and p.s. I bought my first disc P2-putter and I just wait for the weather to get better to play.)

[@vaarsuviusprime]

The extra angles really made this video, thanks for putting such care into capturing. Separate note, local yokels always think the person they've witnessed directly must be better than the person they see on coverage.

[@joonak8435]

I love that you are using more music in these videos this vlogmas! The best December content getting even better!

[@jameslminix6428]

Ok, first things first, congratulations Simon, you're character and easy going nature are unmatched. Now Nick, congrats and my applause to you as well, you're quite impressive and no one to thumb a nose at. Dude, you are most impressive yourself. It was a pleasure to watch both of these gentlemen...and I hope to see more from "both" in the future. Great Vlogmas content!

[@mikejones8866]

That was incredible. Also, I love the music for this vid. Happy Vlogmas Simon!!!

[@derekhubbard8918]

The legend grows! LOL Simon won't walk away from a challenge and handles losing pretty well when it does happen!

[@andynovakYT]

I started when I was 13 and almost 3 years later I am getting around 400 feet. I used to throw 200, then I changed my grip and added a run up and did 350. After some time nailing it down I can get over 400 feet sometimes. You can always improve no matter where you are.

[@deadcobras1]

708Ft which is 215m.. seriously Simon ? makes my 450ft max drives feel so weak.. Great vlog as always. cheers from NZ. 🇳🇿

[@shadecassidy4275]

shit i was happy just to get a 350 ft ace which maxed out everything i had to get there

[@tjmcgough5333]

I went to his flying circus event in 2016 the dude threw across the whole disc golf course not just a hole, he threw it from hole 4 to hole 12, he used the light weight blizzard disc but still he was hitting 800 feet easy

[@olympics1234567]

Good job, throwing 450' ! That takes some skills.

[@Nick-tx2fl]

@@shadecassidy4275 450 is still a crush. There are guys on tour who can barely throw that far. Simon is just on another level for distance

[@Steventhrowsbirds]

I’m hitting 350 in under a year of playing. I’ll be around 400 eventually lol

[@stevensicari500]

You can tell simon is so giddy about being able to throw for distance again :) stay safe! Glad the elbow held up! This has been a great vlogmas so far!

[@shadowscorpiongaming8627]

Watching simons form I’ve learned a backhand form so much better. I went from not hitting 320+ to today parking a 450 hole and have been throwing great backhand to match the forehand.

[@officialdavidhuffman]

You're killing this vlogmas! I remember last year which was amazing. This year is a different level.

[@Chris-qq2cu]

This is insane. First year watching blog mad and loving every bit. Literally speechless watching this

[@rowan1043]

Simon's form is just so so much cleaner than the other guys. The other guy has more potential I would say (biomechanically) but Simon's form is just so clean and efficient. Great video!

[@sethusk]

Great video Simon. I don't think I'll ever understand how that distance is even possible...

[@smit5422]

You are always a good sport and represent everything great about the sport! It was great that you let him have some extra throws to find his line to break 600'! You are always super humble around your guests. I mean you are competitive and jab at folks a bit but a true sportsman! Keep up the great content Simon!! BTW I am loving Vlogmas!!

[@T.J.S.]

Hope to see some tier rankings later this vlogmas..Great content so far

[@hoodglasses8237]

Simon is pretty modest for a guy who parked a 726' drive on camera.

[@ALLENNEWLIN1979]

Loved this one! I think I’m so cool when I get 290ft haha! After playing for a few years and at 42 years old I’m not sure how much distance I will max out at but it’s safe to say I will NOT be challenging Simon! 😜

[@ronjones-6977]

I'm 58 and I'll accidentally rip one close to 335 in perfect conditions. Most of the time 280. When I was 33, I threw a 7-speed Cyclone 426 in a distance competition. I miss those days.

[@afterburn2600]

A few months shy of 40 here and I just got into disc golf this year. Farthest drive was 305ft with a dx destroyer xD. My hand and wrist hurt so bad after that drive too...I try to avoid those bombs until my skill improves. Simon is amazing and fantastic to watch.

[@kurukururin]

im 44, way too heavy and super out of shape and have been playing casually for 15 years or so. but this year i took the time to learn more proper form and i managed to get a few out there to a new record for me, at just over 400 ft :D its never too late, and form is more important than age or what shape youre in. if i keep at it and lose a few kilos i bet i can hit 500 ft in a year or two ;)

[@meb212]

I'm 31 and only about 4 months into learning this sport and I've only hit one 300 5 times. But I'm definitely looking forward to the day I can hit about 60 percent of Simon's longest throw there at least somewhat consistently.

[@ALLENNEWLIN1979]

@@kurukururin that is awesome! I should do more field work myself so I can play bigger courses. I play a very short course here in Laporte CO so I don’t get much bomb practice. Our longest hole is only about 260 or so haha.
