When you grow up in southern California, you play frisbee, that's about all there is too it. I have no idea when I started throwing a frisbee around but by high school I could do all the basic tricks. Once I got to college, I played even more. There's something relaxing about just tossing a frisbee back and forth. Once you have the basic skills down, it's so easy to experiment with fun tosses; boomeranging; cutting around corners; bouncing it - anything that strikes your fancy.

Of course my friends and I had to come up with new games; it's sort of what we do. You'll find several of these games over on the Cloud Kingdom Games web site.

In case you were wondering, we have no connection to Whamo, the makers of the real (trademarked) Frisbee. We're using it in the generic term (even though they do make the best general purposes ones). You can see their selection here.

What kind of disc should you get? For general purpose throwing around, look for something in the 165g to 175g range. They're heavy enough that the wind doesn't just catch them and toss them all over the place; light enough that they're easy to both throw and catch. If playing with littler kids though, drop the weight down or use any of the small generic knock-offs around.

Now to the games. Click on a link to the left based on what sort of game you're wanting to play then -- have fun!
