I've seen Jeff Cruckshank throw them that far. Over me. To
the guy I was supposed to be guarding. It sucks.

Yup, that's pretty much the standard answer to the, "who was
it that one time threw this [insert crazy-sick throw here],
that made the crowd go, 'holy f*&k'". -- Jeff Cruikshank

"Did you just throw that [xxx]?" ... Jeff: "Well, I just
caught it in that grip and that throw just sort of
happened."

Had a college teammate that could drop his scoober 40yrds
consistently. We always joked that he could throw it and his
thumber farther(further?) than his hammer.

Saw Mike Grant throw a 60 yard no look scoober for a score
in the finals of Potlatch (2002?). Didn't have my camera yet
so no video.

--not sure how the entire ultimate community was tricked into calling
it a scoober...since that's a totally different throw that what most
'call' a scoober.

i prefer a nice low release inside out airbounce leading hiawatha to
the break as a teammate cuts across the field to the endzone for a
goal.
that's just me tho....

Say what??? You obviously missed Logic 101 in school...

If you're right, better stop the disinformation and get to
editing Wikipedia pronto:

In the 2001 finals, Idris Nolan of Jam threw a few 60+
yarders. I had never seen anyone do that before. As
someone else on the thread mentioned, the crowd was
definitely saying "holy fvck!" I think all of his attempts
were complete.

What is the advantage of an upside down backhand?

Unrelated: So one dude calls something else a scoober vs
everyone else calling a throw a scoober and everyone else is
wrong? Mike you are starting to sound like Frank.

Trolling, like history, apparently repeats itself once as

It was about time for this discussion again:

scoober = corker = wheel of death

wikipedia scoober = hiawatha = flipper

There might be a generational divide here with younger
players calling them different throws. I know them as the
wheel of death and the (wiki) scoober, and I know many other
young players call them the same.

--unrelated...but in your mind, on your lips and in your heart...uh
huh.
one guy called his weird throw a scoober back in 90...before i had
ever heard of a "scoober" as that from the chest upside down flick.
scoober as, what we around here always called a 'hiawatha' didn't
arrive until much more recently.

yes, everyone else is wrong.

check.

Holy crap Rob, I remember that exact scoober from Mike Grant
at Potlatch 2002. That was the first ultimate tournament I
ever saw.
