I'm gonna need a follow flight on that from Jomez

[tronable]

Yeah, dont show the whole shot or anything

[jame]

Well it's 200 meters more than my record.

You would think Innova could afford to film this with more than just an iPhone.

Anyone watching this in 2021? It's so awesome to hear Simon talk English when he still had some of that German accent.

We used to chase down an aerobie with quads in the 90's. The air coming off the front of the machine could push the aerobie to nearly a half mile. Terribly dangerous(rollovers)...but so much fun

Why not just wait for a hurricane and let one rip right up in the sky?

[Infinitediscs]

Congratulations Simon Lizotte!  If we can put together three drives that equal that distance, we're feeling satisfied with ourselves!

[MrJSpicoli]

Long jumps and sprints are DQ'ed from world record status if the wind is involved. Why not here? I'd be much more interested in who can throw the furthest with no wind.

[oliverqueen]

Am I mad or did we not even actually get the chance to see the throw

[Juz]

I knew he would beat the record when he got the chance to do so. Good job Simon. Hope you get a big bonus to keep the tour going on.

[dabeachman]

do you feel "dirty" that the new record is in 42mph wind?

[CharlesKuske]

John Kirkland was there. So this really happened. Cool.

[RockChlk]

Congratulations... but now let's see what the world record would be without the wind...

[bb]

Lets hold these comps. in realistic conditions. Sea level with what ever winds are available.

[jonahswanson]

You are such a beast Simon and my brother has a signed disc from you

[dyvel]

What is the world record at no wind assistance?

[m-m]

Let's see them throw an aerobie pro

[liveextreme]

Imagine if Pitchers threw with 20+ wind... this is dumb
