Re: [RBW] Flying discs

[Robert Tilley]

Aerobies are the best. We got really good at them and used to play on a football field. 100 yard throws perfectly accurate.  The only time they suck is when you throw one off target because you'll be chasing it a good long way. I learned about Aerobies at a football game at San Diego stadium. They demonstrated them by throwing them from the field up and over the top of the stadium. I did buy the metal filter Riv sold for the Aeropress. It's nice not dealing with the paper filters.

The Aerobie is in a totally different league and hugely more fun, very highly recommended! The Aerobie is probably much less tolerant of dog chewing though, so there is that. Cheers, -Jack K.

Which Rivelo (but not Rivendell) sold. Or tried to sell - I don't think that was a successful product for them. Mike M On Thursday, April 16, 2020 at 11:01:01 PM UTC-7, Robert Tilley wrote: Nice! I don't remember Riv selling those. I love Aerobies and if Riv offered up a branded one of those I'd buy some. Not much room on an Aerobie for a logo though...

Combined with cycling, it makes for a healthy substitute for PE. My oldish RBW flying disc has found a couple dog teeth over the years, but still flies true. Would be wonderful if RBW brought these back. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
