I was able to check out the 24 hole course just outside of Frankfurt, Germany on my recent trip overseas. I met Patrick, a great guy, who showed me around the course while I showed him so good ole American sarcasm. :D We had a great time and I hope you enjoy the video.

I had limited space in my luggage, so I tossed out some underwear and brought 6 discs with me. After my trip to London last year, I thought I would be smarter with my selection this time. I had to balance reliable discs with the possibility of losing them... So all of them are expendable except the Tennis Ball. (Which I then managed to leave on the last hole messing around... Patrick is going to mail it back to me.)
- MVP Relitivity Driver (Tennis Ball) because it is my workhorse dependable flip up long thrower. I told myself I better not lose this one. Yeah right!
- Halo Boss for overstable long throws and a utility disc at slower speeds.
- Thunderbird for a good all around stable/overstable 9 speed
- MVP glow reactor - semi overstable mid range that I could work forehands if needed... plus I have several so I wouldn't be crushed if I lost one.
- MVP Uplink - I love this understable midrange and I have a back-up
(I found out that I would have been in better shape to bring a single straight mid versus the two opposite mids.)
- Berg X - (Fireberg) I would have preferred a regular berg, but to fill the approach side... I wanted just a touch more stability, and I can adjust my putting to compensate. (Just took me a little time on the course.)

I could have played that course with my Relativity, my Vector (If I brought it), and my Berg for most of the holes, but you live and learn.

I ended up giving away my Berg x, Uplink, and Reactor to some guys in Moldova to help grow the sport. I had to remind myself... it is just plastic... :D

Thanks for watching!

    Hey Pete, the video came out great. It was as blast showing you our home course and meeting you. Hope you will be in Germany again one day to show you our toughest layout at our Ostpark course or even play our Waldschwimmbad course which is one of my favorite courses in my area. It is only 5min. away from Ostpark.

    Nice Video as usual Pete... make sure you head on to the South where you will find Germany's original and oldest course in Germany outside of Munich in Weilheim
