What is the history of the Frisbee?
Frisbie Pie Tins at Yale
A baker named William Russel Frisbie, of Warren, Connecticut, and later of Bridgeport, came up with a clever marketing idea back in the 1870s. He put the family name in relief on the bottom of the light tin pans in which his company's homemade pies were sold. The pans were reusable, but every time a housewife started to bake a pie in one, she would see the name Frisbie and, it was hoped, think, "How much easier to buy one". Eventually Mr. Frisbie's pies were sold throughout much of Connecticut, including New Haven.
There, sometime in the 1940s, Yale students began sailing the pie tins through the air and catching them. A decade later, out in California, a flying-saucer enthusiast named Walter Frederick Morrison designed a saucer-like disk for playing catch. It was produced by a company named Wham-O. On a promotional tour of college campuses, the president of Wham-O encountered the pie-plate-tossing craze at Yale. And so the flying saucer from California was renamed after the pie plate from Connecticut. Of course the name was changed from Frisbie to Frisbee to avoid any legal problems.
What was the inspiration for the frisbee?
The story is that some kids were tossing around a pie tin around and the idea was kicked off into the frisbee we know today
Yes, unless you push down on the disc, then it just stays wherever you pushed it.
What is the best light up Frisbee?
In my opinion, the FLashflight is the best light up frisbee.
I LOVE my Flashflight! It uses LED's to illuminate fiber optics, which make it bright, but not obnoxiously bright like competing products. And, it's not cheesy disposable junk because first, it's made of durable plastic, and second, it's powered with replaceable batteries. I'm not an avid Ultimate junky, but my friends who are constantly ramble on and on about how perfectly this disc flies - even with it weighing 10 grams more than a regulation Ultimate disc. I really appreciate the way the Flashflight is water resistant and floats, seeing as I've tossed it into several bodies of water. Just make sure to take the battery cap off to let the insides dry out after getting it wet. I hope this helps you - I never leave my house without it because tossing a disc is a great way to spend an extra few minutes!
What were the 2 names for Frisbee before the name frisbee?
Pluto Platter, Mars Platter and Flying Saucer

a stack is when the offense or defense line up vertically or horizontally and then break off in separate directions in order to catch or block the disc

Disc sports (Frisbee) 1970's
There were a few guts and distance tournaments before 1970, but the sport of Frisbee (disc sports) really began in the 1970's, gut's, ultimate, freestyle, disc golf, distance, accuracy, MTA, SCF, discathon and DDC, became disc sports first events.
There are certain people/players and events that stand out when acknowledging who laid the ground work for the transition of playing with the Frisbee as a toy to disc sports. The Healy family (guts), Joel Silver and Jared Kass (ultimate ), Tom Kennedy and Irv Kalb, (ultimate, Ultimate Players Association) Ken Westerfield (utimate, freestyle, touring Frisbee shows and the Canadian Open Frisbee Championships), Jim Kenner (Discraft, freestyle and the Canadian Open Frisbee Championships), Dave Marinni (Freestyle Players Association), Jim Palmeri (AFDO, American Flying Disc Open, disc golf, DDC), Tom Schot (Santa Cruz Tournaments), Tom Monroe (Frisbee South show tours, tournaments, disc golf) Dan Roddick ( IFA, WFC and WFDF), Ed Headrick (Whamo, IFA, WFC, disc golf). These are people that not only excelled with the Frisbee when it was still considered a toy, but help create the formats and concepts through their own tournaments and or organizations that produced the events and organization of disc sports we see today
International Frisbee Tournament (IFT), Marquette, MI, the Canadian Open Frisbee Championships, Toronto Canada, American Flying Disc Open (AFDO), Rochester, NY, Octad, New Jersey, Santa Cruz Flying Disc Championships, Santa Cruz, California, and the World Frisbee Championships (WFC), held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, were the most progressive and trend setting tournaments of that time.
