Is that the 2nd downhiller with the road on the right?

Crazy could throw a Roc over 450 feet and it never got above 10 feet off the ground.From a 100 feet away his aviar putt was the most accurate I`ve ever seen.The man refused to lay-up.

It must have been something special to watch. I hear stories from some of the locals in Lincoln, NE around Roper that he and Laron Haris were the only few people to park #21(666 ft. down hill) at Roper West with an air shot!!

Yes. The basket was at the base of the steps which then go up to #15.

Here's the hole http://www.playdg.com/courses/?s=ks&c=rosedale&h=14

It was in the blue 321' placement. Looking at it now it doesn't seem like that unusual of a shot for a big arm, still flashy though. But in 94 when I had just started playing competitively it was mighty impressive. The crowd sure thought so at the time.

the first sanctioned tourney I played featured Crazy showing off throughout the final 9.Ponca City Okla 1991?John Heaton 3rd Ice man ?2nd . .An incredible display of skill and showmanship.Crazy is and has always been awesome.
By the way, the "hot " disc at that time was the Cobra! I switched to Scorpions later and then the Viper (FEAR NO WIND).Discraft took a while to build a good stable of discs,but no one around at the time argues that the Cyclone was the breakthrough disc of it`s generation.Needless to say, it`s the indian , not the arrow that determines the skill.

That question wasn`t meant for people born during the Reagan administration.

Well Friz, I don't remember those and I was born during the Nixon administration......

Yep! I`ve still got a few factored discs ,Whippet and Viper . Real quick oldshool toys.At that time Vipers held the world distance record.As an overstable ,the DGA was selling (shaved) "factored " discs which were less stable and faster than normal.The factor refered to the amout of disc removed.1`s ,2`s ,and 3`s were available if I remember correctly.We also called it "DGA`d".This goes back to the sets you could purchase .Stingrays in varying stability#`s 1-5 in purple and pro model Sharks #`s 1-3 Orange. DGA`D discs!
