Freestyle & Trick Shot "Frizbee" Workshops:

 

What many people don't know about Tippy is his sporty side and his arch-Frizbee skills. He regularly holds Frizbee workshops at festivals and special events.

 

Tippy generously acknowledges the help and support of Mountain Equipment Co-op, who donate to him a provision of a stock of Flying Discs he uses for his workshops, wherever they may be.

 

In 2008, Tippy did his first Festival Frizbee Workshops at the Motion Notion, Shambhala, and the new Astral Harvest festivals. The workshops were received with critical acclaim of the participants! Utilizing the music of the performing DJ's and performers in the background, (as part of the workshop's flow), Tippy introduced "Frizbee Yoga", (warm-ups), and "Frizbee Philosophy", accenting the free-style Frizbee toss collective!

 

In 2010, Tippy expanded his offerings, dedicating his Workshops to the late great frizbee inventor, Walter Frederick Morrison, who passed away at 90, (February 2010). Come check out the workshop and various Frizbee games and his unique approach to Frizbee and music .  Since 2010 Tippy has held public Fribee workshops annually all over the map. Beaches, fields, and Frizbees forever!
