Discmania presents: The Flying Circus with Simon Lizotte

The Concept

Introducing The Discmania Flying Circus – A demo/clinic tour that travels along the lines of Simon Lizotte‘s 2015 US Tour. Find the event near you and see the true wunderkind in action!

There will be several events in several different locations, each one consisting of two “station activities” and the main distance event:

1. Radar Gun Challenge

The participants get to measure their arm speed with a radar gun and each participant who can match Simon’s 81 MpH warm-up throw will win FREE Discmania discs courtesy of Discmania Store. You can also measure your arm speed before and after Simon’s distance clinic. The Radar Gun Challenge will typically run from the start of the event until Simon’s distance showcase, so you’ll have plenty of time to test (and improve) your results 🙂

2. Small group clinic & disc demo

Those taking part in small group clinic will get hands-on advice from the World Distance Record holder Simon Lizotte on adding distance to their game. Simon will also teach proper driver selection based on player’s form and power. Each participant of the small group clinics receive a Discmania swag pack. We like to keep the group size small to allow best possible guidance, so there will be multiple small group clinics at each event.

3. Then Main Event – Simon Lizotte Distance Showcase

Watch Simon throw a putter further than most people can throw their driver and after that watch him grab his drivers and bolt them out of sight. You’ll have to see it to believe how far this kid can throw!

It is still unconfirmed whether these events will have Flying Circus events or promos of a different nature.

Registration & payments

Participation to the Flying Circus events is free, but there’s a small charge for radar gun challenge & small group clinics, if you choose to take part in those. The Distance showcase is open for all, free of charge. The events don’t require pre-registration, but we highly encourage all attendees to join their local Flying Circus facebook event, to give us an idea on how many attendees will show up. The FB-events can be found from the Discmania FB-page and we’ll update the links to each event also on this page.
