My friend's backyard is right next to a train track. To date nobody has gotten a disc through an open freight car.
That day will come.

I have thought about throwing over a somewhat busy street, but I'm always worried about a miscue and causing an accident. I don't mind things that could get me in "trouble" with the law, but having a chance to hurt somebody is where i draw the line. But, if you do have other ideas you can't post, you should PM them to me. I'm very interested.
Oh, and do you mean a moving semi or just one at a stand-still?

Through a moving one? I'm jealous I'm not around there to give it a shot, would definitely be fun.
Yup. Through a moving train. I wonder how many discs have traveled across country failing to hit the gap.
Now that would be cool. Also a shot right across the front of the Locomotive would be very cool

hahaa, I feel like just a super-fast anhyzer would be the only way for it work if the train was moving from your left to right, that would give it that extra split second since it would be going the same way.
Be sure you set the camera in a safe place inside the disc hits the train and comes back at full speed.
How about bouncing off a rail car into the basket?
By far the funnest DG video I have watched yet...awesome...and yeah fist pumping fool!
I have a few dream shots:
with a van or a hatchback through the open back door/hatch and out the window to a basket....even cooler would from the side doors of a tractor trailer and out the back..some big banana hyzer shot.
any shot over an olympic sized pool would be a pretty treat
tree to tree would be cool...squirell golf put the basket in one tree and dangle from another
skip shot under a closing garage door ala han solo
always wanted to see if anyone could simply roll a disc along a wall...not neccesarily make a shot but just see how far someone could roll a disc on a huge wall
from land throw to a basket at the end of a dock over a lake

That's what I'm talking about! I can definitely use some of these ideas, I'll start working on some of them as soon as possible, but what exactly do you mean by "rolling" a disc along a wall?

I've been using a magic for a couple years now, but I'm in the middle of trying out a soft magnet which has been working pretty well for me.

Just depends on the shot, the river ones I made on my first attempts, as well as a couple of the shorter shots and stair shots. obviously, the one sitting up in the tree took a bunch as you can see a bunch of the discs laying around. usually within 10 if it's a difficult one.
Great job, and I really like that fist pump too.
It's almost time to start using the blindfold.
Find a cheerleading practice and ask the cheerleaders to form a row and do handstands and then putt through their legs into a basket.
Do this and you win.
Extra points if they open and close their legs randomly like an Indiana Jones obstacle.

All of them were pretty sweet. I like the shots where you leave the camera and shoot from different areas like the one on the rocks surrounded by water. What kind of camera and editing software are you using?

I have a pretty cheap setup (which is the way I like it with how often it gets knocked over/hit):
Aiptek HD-1 with a very lightweight tripod. I just use Windows Movie Maker right now for editing. I've used some a couple other programs, but unless I need something special, WMM does the job.

Looks like a fist-pumping good time!
