Hi! I am ready now for the instructional class. I am doing a little bit of freestyle tricks, the trickery of the sport. (Music playing)
Of course, the foundation of any trick is knowing how to catch the disk and knowing how to throw it. Those are the best tricks of all. That is what everything else is sort of based on. It is walking before you can run, before you can dance, before you can do anything. (Music playing)
Next, we learn the Nail Delay. The nail delay is allowing the spin of a disk to maintain a stable balance, keeping your finger in the center. Conceptually, it is the same as balancing a disk this way or balancing a broom stick or any thing else, where if the disk starts to fall, I fall with it, find its center, balance it and bring it back. The only difference between this and what you do with the freestyle disk is the disk keep spinning. So as you fall, you fall with the spin until you can gain center and the balance.
It does not take a lot of spin. It just takes staying in that center. That feels so good.

From there, we learned to work. Now that we are on the center of the disk, we can learn to work with the outside or rim of the disk and the inside. With that, we will take a disk and sweep it around. That is working with the spin. There is a natural fall of the disk. The disk can actually fall in circle. From there, we can do a sweep find the back.

Or, we can do a pullout. That is a rim delay or a rim pullout. There is that infamous pick-up catch. So we can sweep it under our leg and pull it out. (Music Playing)
