Ice Ice, Baby

I always tell my ultimate friends, "It's not a successful tournament if you don't limp home!" If you can relate, you probably also had to wait until you got to your fridge to start icing those injuries.

None of the other bags we've used over the years did anything to handle those post-tournament aches and pains, or to keep us cool between points, so when we designed the Greatest Bag we knew we had to come up with something totally new.

Introducing the Greatest Bag's Ice Bag and Cooler Compartment!

The Cooler Compartment is insulated and water resistant, and designed to hold not only the Ice Bag - included at no extra charge with every Greatest Ultimate Bag! - but also any other cold drinks or snacks that you want to keep chilly.

Because even if you're not as injury prone as we are, you still gotta stay cool and hydrated, right?

Ice Ice, baby too cold...

Darren Wu Wants to Teach You to Fly

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
Malaysia: July 30th-31st, 8am - 11am at Sunway University
Singapore (Ultysports): Aug 3rd-4th (may not be a second day), 7pm - 10pm (time may change) at Nanyang Polytechnic
Singapore (Freakshow): Aug 9th, 9am - 12pm at West Coast Park
Bring your friends who wants to learn, or maybe has never played before!

Safe travels, Darren, and we hope to see you back this way soon!

AFTER PRACTICE STANK? CALL AN ISO

Yeah we do.

Yeah we do.

If you're training hard your gear's gonna get sweaty, but what do you do with that sweaty gear on the ride home?

Toss it in your backpack? Mmm... B.O.-laced nalgene... not to mention grossed out friends. (4-legged and otherwise)

Seal it up in a plastic bag? Your friends are protected, but your gear will stay wetter longer, and you'll pay the price when you get home.

Now there's a third option. Throw that sweaty gear in your Greatest Ultimate Bag's Iso ventilated compartment - seal it up when you're in close quarters, and unleash the beast while you're walking around.

Finally you can air out your gear, without grossing out your neighbors.

Spot thanks you.
