If you've seen an ultimate highlight video in the past couple of years, you've probably seen Darren Wu, #11 of the Vancouver Riptide. You'll recognize him as the guy laying out for a catch or massive D, or taking a group of defenders to sky city
For example, here's Darren bringing home Gold for Canada U19 with this amazing universe score on at the 2014 World Junior Ultimate Championships:
And a massive AUDL catch against the San Jose Spiders (commentary by Evan Lepler):
Darren was named one of 2014's Breakout Players by the AUDL, and Roldy had the chance to meet him in Hong Kong a few days ago to talk about Ultimate and the Greatest Bag!
If you're trying to up your game to Darren's level and happen to be in Asia, you're in luck! He's holding free ultimate clinics in the cities mentioned below. This is also your chance to check out his Greatest Bag. If you sky him, maybe he'll even let you take it home. ;)
“On July 2nd I will begin my trip through Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore! While I am there, I will be running some Ultimate Frisbee clinics opened to all that wants to come. Super stoked about it all and it took some planning, but it is finally gonna happen!
Clinics:
Taiwan: July 16th-17th, 8:30am - 5:00 pm at 逢甲大學
