    Its what any soaring pilot would call a thermic day. Look at those flat bottom clouds and listen to the descriptions of the variable wind. Thermals add lift and sink and lots of variability to the overall wind field. None of those in anyones control. Tough.

    I just don't see the additional benefit of doing a 360, you can see that the disc is more or less stationary when Wiggins starts the throwing motion, meaning that all angular momentum has left it.

    I throw further with a good concrete pad and a touch of headwind. My form sux. I max out at 415 forehand and backhand
