2023 Preserve Distance Invitational

[@SkyoteFPV]

I did the drone chase on this event. Thanks for all the love in the comments!

[@doncampbell9356]

Awesome!

[@cupbowlspoonforkknif]

It is so cool seeing a hyper flip from a drone!

[@chrishahn2937]

Nice flying!

[@SquirtHoliday]

​@@cupbowlspoonforkknifit's spelled HYZER, gosh. I bet you can't throw a berg 400 ft even

[@Chris.Davies]

We have a Drone racing League right next to a DGC of mine, and they get some freaky-deaky footage of the boys trying for Eagle on #4. It adds a whole new meaning to the "birds eye view". My only wish is that drone propellers become toroidal, and silent!

[@rfwhyte]

The drone follow shots really made this video exceptional. Haven't really seen a view like that flying behind a disc and holy smokes was it cool to see!

[@Worldwar3TV]

@Skyote is a badass!

[@jgray2718]

I'm consistently impressed with Hammes' distance. He doesn't seem like a "distance guy" and he doesn't have the arm speed of the other guys, but he's always up there in these contests.

[@larsgravdal4872]

He seems to always get the distance lines right

[@xzacto3100]

He’s really good at spinning the disc, kinda like eagles sidearm

[@rfinnegan7106]

He seems to read the wind well and uses the flight tendencies to get safe distance shots.

[@brickchains1]

He's my #1 underrated player, I predict the next season he will be at the top of competitive play.

[@juhokoo]

​@@brickchains1He's just not very consistent. Definitely can win any tournament but could also be among the last ones.

[@silvianosanchez8430]

This was so much fun to watch.

[@supdawg_27]

Holy shit, now that is smoothness.

[@benso87]

I wish they would have stayed in that slow-mo shot for just a bit longer because of that.

[@djbme83]

Shout out to the drone pilot. Amazing shots.

[@TommyGunz3]

The fact that AB is closing in on 90mph is absolutely insane. Kid's a freak

[@joeydupont7664]

He’s throwing a Z-Lite NukeOS, probably in the 156 gram range, but 87 is still 87💀

[@ZachBoyce_DG]

Simon can hit 100+

[@octogintillion]

​@@ZachBoyce_DGLol no

[@ZachBoyce_DG]

@@octogintillion There’s literally video proof lmao yes he can do it so maybe make sure you right before commenting

[@obhmusic]

@@ZachBoyce_DG I found a video of him throwing into a net. that throw was 92 mph, and he claims he threw one earlier at 98 mph. still not 100, and if the net wasn't there the disc would've cut rolled at 40 ft.

[@Eyedbythetiger]

This was a great lineup. Love seeing KJUSA & Simon.

[@darktators9198]

Digging the music. Electronic and disc golf goes together so well

[@DoobieFerguson]

I love how Albert just walks up and throws normally. Dude is insane

[@BryceRogers_]

[@crunchywolf]

I just want to shout out and say the drone work on this video is naaasssty. Nice job!

[@BeaEmBee]

I'm impressed with the drone operators ability to follow the disk

[@chadbuxton2063]

I never thought I'd see geisinger and Wiggins throwing against each other again! What a classic bomber matchup.

[@davycrocket4858]

Geisinger has kinda awkward looking form. It's surprising that it comes out with so much speed and distance

[@Landoniousiii]

That was some amazing drone flying!

[@Bobicek18]

[@joehagen8821]

[@RipperStudio]

Thank you for this content! I have always wanted more distance comps and skill comps to be covered.

[@JoeyLucier0]

WOW need more of this next year!!

[@brandonralston25]

Please do more of these! Few things better than watching the best in the game go full send on a disc!

[@jekogl]

Wow, that drone follow shot is next level!

[@hydropotamis]

I like the format and stuff. Good show.

[@JustinFernDesign]

Awesome stuff! I'll never understand OB in distance competitions. Especially with this kind of wind. ( i get mowing & all that stuff but still)

[@davycrocket4858]

Same reason they have it in shotput to javelin etc. I suppose. So competitors are accountable for throwing in a general direction where it can be spotted and marked by spotters

[@seattle2memphis]

@SkyoteFPV Is amazing at drone footage of discs. Have you ever accidently crashed into a disc in flight?

[@SkyoteFPV]

I have a couple times. Never during a competition. I try to stay back a bit to avoid that during these events.

[@coreyman-xr3io]

That drone coverage was awesome!! and the distance those guys are throwing is incredible

[@stephenbertram1]

The Ezra hat catch is arguably the most impressive part of his throwing here 😅

[@zachott7174]

just as good a matt. o catching his shades every throw lmao

[@EzraAderholdDG]

Hahahaha sad but true 🥲😂

[@trailnscaleRC]

awesome!! great drone shots too

[@MajesticMasiakasaurus]

600 feet into a ripping headwind is actually insane

[@revolutionofordinaries]

Pretty sure Wiggins was OB on that winning throw. Pause at 51:29 and the disc hits the OB rope...you can see the OB rope push right before the disc hits the ground.

[@KillRoy117]

Awesome event! The wind makes this competition much more challenging, and taking advantage of it requires much more skill than without. Game is hard! And the Minnesota wind at this area is rarely consistent.

[@clint_davis]

A++++ Drone team!!

[@ericparker308]

The drone footage was awesome!!

[@dh910]

the drone following the discs is awesome

[@82tonypr]

This event is sweet, and very well done! Discs absolutely being BOMBED! The amount of turnover they're getting these massive high speed OS discs... Holy Crap! I wasn't expecting a Rosemount, MN Shout out! HOLY CRAP!! I didn't realize the whole thing was in MN! I have to go next year!

[@R_J_G]

Drone follow is sick!

[@jacobie4521]

There is something really wholesome about Garrett smiling and recording ab as he throws in a competition

[@Lampfaho]

Thanks for including meters

[@discfan6829]

I love this video! Hopefully this will be a recurring event! Thanks to all involved in making this.

[@JeffreyGoddin]

And here comes the off-season content! Thanks Jomez!

[@dcconstruction676]

How are there not more spectators? I have been waiting for this!!!@ distance competion that has a good structure to its filming and its commentary. I feel that has been absent since its dawn.

[@jeremybjork5206]

In this particular case it was kind of expensive, it was on a weds night (before the pro tour event started on Friday), and Clearwater is 1 hour+ from the twin cities. I may have considered it if it wasn't league night! If it were me running it I would try and book a separate venue within the cities just for this competition.

[@feelthepayne88]

Sick, love the chase drone!

[@davycrocket4858]

The drone thing is cool and all but it would be nice to see one replay of the full flight of the disc on each throw from the crowd's POV

[@aklevin]

At least the winning throw

[@davycrocket4858]

@@aklevin at the very least. It's just a confusing perspective from the drone and watching a disc fly is a big part of why DG is fun to play/watch. You can't really tell the direction the disc is flying or how far it's going from a bird's eye view that's moving

[@qstar710]

This was great to watch

[@Sir_Leelord]

I wish they gave AB and simon 10 throws, I could watch them throw all day

[@jeffledbetter29]

The drone camera is epic!

[@JomezPro]

Shout out @SkyoteFPV!

[@Chubbydippin]

This is so fun to watch. Thanks for releasing this. Wish they would include what each disc(mold, plastic type, weight..) is before all of the player's throws. I'm sure there has to be a reason why they mark the throw where it first touches the ground as opposed to where it ends up. Anybody know why? In round play, the distance of a throw is measured or "guesstimated" from where it finally ends up right?

[@coach_chris_taylor]

Rollers

[@InspireBlue226]

Jerm is a great announcer. Excellent hype man skillz.

[@jeremyringulet5787]

I went 512’ one time with perfect wind…. I don’t even understand! These guys are MONSTERS!!!

[@Infernox-yi3vx]

Shame it was a heavy head wind. Would have like to see the actual distance these guys have. Cool video regardless!

[@murphyd8205]

It being way downhill sorta balanced it out, about what they would throw on calm flat ground

[@octogintillion]

​Maybe, but the wind did make it a lot harder for them to hit the right angle for a distance flight.

[@isCarsonMiller]

I wonder why they didn't just go to the other side of the field.

[@vincentstubblefield4837]

​@isCarsonMiller that is the 3000 iq move...

[@jeremytompkins9889]

It is not downhill. It’s a flat field where they threw

[@wvwIceMan13wvw]

I don’t care for disc golf but I like this even more than golf’s long drive event . I don’t care for regular golf either, this is better than cornhole lol

[@joshmeadows4814]

Love the distance comp no matter what but I just wish they could go somewhere where if there’s a head wind they can just go to the other side of the field and have tail wind, I wanna see 700ft throws 😂

[@oftankoftan]

"we're gonna throw on the other side of the field, and Josh Meadows here is going to move the tents, the flags, the benches and the PA system"

[@sliceofsparta8985]

David has that 360 distance shot MASTERED. Fun to watch, but it's also incredible to see the golf guys take normal run-ups and go over 500 into a headwind. Ridiculous. Seemed like a smaller field this year, missed guys like Ricky and Goose!

The drone followinf the disc was sweet to watch 😍

[@Qwarzz]

Indeed. I need to do this more. I've had one change to follow distance throws and had trouble slowing down with the disk. The pilot here was that really well.

[@alyjos9103]

I know I don't have a podium or a place to stand here, but I feel like distance comps should always take place in neutral or tail wind conditions. I feel like throwing into head wind is frustrating and can situationally mess you up with gusts turning an otherwise good flex shot into a turn over. Plus, seeing them fight over how deep they can get into 600 is more fun than the best throwers having difficulty breaking 550. I know I may be completely wrong and everyone had more fun throwing into a headwind for all I know.

[@InfiniteZombies777]

I was there 🔥

[@daveslocum5625]

so glad to see geisinger back in here. lot of people dont know how fricken far he throws, hasnt done any comps or toured for 3 years and still comes in 2nd

[@isCarsonMiller]

Record NHL slap shot is 108MPH so not quite there yet but still.. the fellas are throwing heat.

[@MrKonkerable598]

Not even comparable... hockey sticks bend on the ice and slingshot the puck forward so there is a mechanical advantage to hitting a fast slap shot with a hockey stick. Throwing a disc is purely using force generated through your body. A hockey shot is much closer to a golf swing and the golf record is almost 240mph so you should be saying hockey isnt quite there yet.

[@chrisvanescobar]

@@MrKonkerable598 Bro could you imagine someone in hockey doing a full-ass golf swing?! He'd get charged for manslaughter....

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

@@chrisvanescobar That might not work. Hockey stick is so stiff that it doesn't flex like that. It needs quite a lot of pressure against ice to flex.

[@shrapnel77]

@@ultrainstinctdiscgolf007 Not questioning eagle's distance, but Wiggins in a contest will beat him. McMahon the much better golfer, of course.

[@jacobskovsbllknudsen5908]

@@ultrainstinctdiscgolf007 I think you're right in that Eagle potentially matches Wiggins' distance and could certainly beat him in competition. But, the reason Wiggins would still win "overall" is consistency in throwing distance lines, he practices distance. Whereas Eagle probably only practices placement and putting now-a-days, as he has no need for extra distance. Even the bad shots Wiggins get off have phenomenal nose angle control and speed...
