The 420B replacing the Force? Well I guess that is alright, but that would mean the NukeOS might stay in the bag. Hmm, this is all getting confusing to me. I am still very excited to get my hands one of these bad boys.

Is your Force really overstable? Most of the reports from testers that I have read and heard about on the R420B are that it is comparable to a Stiletto/Nuke OS. These two discs are much more overstable than a Force.

I have thrown a number of Forces, and R420B is WAAAAAAAAY more overstable than a Force. They're not even in the same ball park. I think he either has a freak r420b or a freak Force.
Now that we have actual test discs out and people have provided input on what they fly like, how about we start the name speculation for these 2 new discs?

Anybody send in their reviews yet?
I called the "descent" for R420B and R419B could be the "stream" or maybe the "range". Sounds cool to me!

R420 should be the "Time Stalker"
R419B should be the "Stalker of Time"

Ion is going in!
I sent a list of names to Steve Dodge awhile ago and both of these names were on there! I think they fit perfectly. However, Steve and the Vibram team always seem to come up with something else that is just as cool so I'm looking forward to hearing them.

Keep practicin'.
I think "Descent" would be even better for the MOFWY when it comes out. You would have the Ascent and then it's massively overstable compliment the Descent. I do like all three names you came up with though.

I'm starting to think the descent would be a better understable disc name, think about it, throwing downhill that's what I usually reach for.
A side note from the names....I have been throwing my Ridges (both 175g Firms) more and more in my rounds. I hadn't been throwing them as much because I throw my Summits a lot off the tee for just about anything but the Ridge is like the putter version of the Firebird - predictable. I know exactly where the Ridge is going every throw. I love chucking them off of the tee for anything up to 350'.
Mmmm yeah I suppose you have a point sir. I guess the UFWY would work too for it when Vibram comes out with one! I wouldn't mind either the MOFWY or the aforementioned UFWY being named Descent. I think it's pretty cool.

The ridge is by far my most used disc and the obex has been new best friend off the tee. Often times I'll look at a sign, check the distance if it's in the obex's distance gap and outside the ridge, the obex is getting hucked.

How far do you usually throw your ridge?

This sounds pretty cool for R420:
Headwall: The upper section of a mountain where the terrain is set off from that below by being more steep.

Around 300-320 depending on which one I throw, the broken in ones flip and glide more, new ones just go straight unless I anny release on a flat pull. Still they don't glide enough to get much further than that.
I really liked the suggestion of the Tread for R420B. Traction and Boot would work well too.
For R419 I like Pass.
Oh the joys of another naming session.

420 and 419 names
I long time ago the name Crux was mentioned. I believe the 420 will be the "crux" of dependability and the pinnacle "<----also good name" of their overstable driver slot.
For the 419.... Traverse. The disc itself can make some pretty unique lines if needed so why not a name like Traverse.
