"I watched the DVD with my most hard core Ultimate playing friends here on Maui and we all loved it - In fact, we are planning a party in part to show off the footage and to promote the book! I would certainly recommend this DVD to one and all. The evolution of our sport over the decades is creatively captured. The decade by decade presentation demonstrates how the basics of the sport in the early decades transitioned to increasing athleticism and focus on strategy in the later decades. Reflecting on our 25th Anniversary through the images from the 2004 Nationals celebration is a fitting initiation for the Alumni Hall of Fame and helps pave the way for the decades to come. A must see DVD that brings our book to life! BRAVO!"

"I was fortunate enough to get a preview of the DVD that will come with the book. It includes very interesting interviews, truly historical footage, and some of the best documentary pieces ever made about Ultimate. There are pieces in the DVD that only a handful of people have seen before. I'm sure that all viewers will come away with a better appreciation for the state of Ultimate through the decades."

"Early black-and-white film footage of Ultimate that I never knew existed. Interviews of how Ultimate got started by the founders themselves. Video of Ultimate in the 80's with voiceovers and comments that are great. In a sentence: Important audio-visual documentation of our game's history. I really enjoyed watching the preview of the DVD. Worthy stuff!"
