Ultimate Frisbee Cutting Patterns

Mambo’s upline cut

  • plant hard with right-foot
  • footwork around into inside lane
  • sprint straight.

AJ’s 7 cut

  • swing disc to centre
  • make (fake) hard clearing cut for the disc back onto the open side
  • when throwing lane is optimal, run around defender, and run the length of the 7 shape to be thrown an inside flick break.

Serenity Prayer

Reinhold Niebuhr

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Bus Stop Poems

Mare

Giovanni Pascoli 1855-1912

M’affaccio alla finestra, e vedo il mare:
vanno le stelle, tremolano l’onde.
Vedo stelle passare, onde passare:
un guizzo chiama, un palpito risponde.

Ecco sospira l’acqua, alita il vento:
sul mare è apparso un bel ponte d’argento.

Ponte gettato sui laghi sereni,
per chi dunque sei fatto e dove meni?


I look out the window, and I see the sea:
the stars drift by, the waves shimmer.
I see stars passing, waves passing:
a flicker calls, a throb replies.

Now the water sighs, the wind exhales:
on the sea a silver bridge appears.

Bridge thrown over silent lakes,
for whom are you made, and where do you lead?
