It’s #FrisbeeVaultFriday where I’ll be digging in to my #DiscGolfCollection, giving you a little background story on a special disc and why it’s a highly sought after collectible. . This particular Bright Pink First Run Blizzard Champion Boss was actually once the furthest thrown disc on the planet! It was initially in my personal Disc Golf Collection but now it’s carefully kept by it’s rightful owner and former World Distance Champion, Simon Lizotte! . It’s not a super limited run of discs being that there was an entire first run of these Blizzard Champion Bosses as indicated by the air bubbles located throughout the top flight plate of the disc. The only other First Run Blizzard Champion Discs were Destroyers, Katanas and Wraiths that had these bubble top flight plates which focused on having much of the disc’s weight distributed to the outer rim enhancing it’s overall distance potential. . Simon borrowed a stack of 10 of these bright blue and bright pink Blizzard Champion Bosses for the 2014 Big D in the Desert Distance Contest in Primm, NV on a mission to do something special. . Simon Lizotte set the World Distance Record for the longest throw of a golf disc at 863.5 ft (263.2 m) on October 25, 2014 with this actual disc! . Fun Fact: This throw beat David Wiggins Jr.'s previous record of 836 ft set in 2012. Lizotte broke his own record on March 27, 2016 with a throw of 903.9 ft (275.5 m), a record that stood for two days until Wiggins Jr. threw for 1,108.9 ft (338 m). Lizotte then set a personal record throw of 1030 ft. . This is a true piece of Disc Golf Distance History making this disc one of my personal favorites in my Disc Golf Collection! . Do you think that the World Distance Record will ever be broken again? . #Boss #BlizzardBoss #ChampionBoss #WorldRecord #WorldDistanceRecord #SimonLizotte #DiscGolfCollection (at Rancho Cucamonga, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BprleqUHiWb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vk8ng4vniqq6
