Media exposure: A big photo in an article about Frisbee in a big Israel newspaper (sports section).

Appearances: PassOver - Israel First Ultimate Championships. Israel's 57th Independence day - A local celebration in Savion, on the main stage.

Mentor(s): Zvika Shacham, Dori Yaniv, Arnon Avitzur, Barak Lifshitz, Tom Leitner, John Titcomb, Steve (the Beast), Paul Kenny, Pipo Lopez, Gregory Lo-a-sjoe, Fabio Sanna and all the players I met on Paganello's great beaches... (sorry if I forgot someone)

Started playing: 2004

How I started playing: Played a bit throw & catch in high school, and then found http://www.frisbee.co.il I contacted Dori Yaniv and he showed me the world of Freestyle.

Favorite move: Big air Gitis, rolls combos, "double riple leg over", "against" manipulations... The Oliver pull is awsome (personally I can't do it..not yet at least.. :P)

Other fun: LIFE IS FUN! Brush a disc into a nice cool breeze on the beach, make a few perouettes and land gently on your shoulders after that huge Gitis, roll over, get up and do it again!!

Partners past & present: Eilam Raz, John Titcomb & Dan "Lusti" Lustiger (Paga 04) Yinon Werner (IFC 04).


Age 10 had my first Guitar.
Age 13 I loved going to the beach, climbing up those sand dunes, to place a piece of wood on the top, so that a rough enough surface is created for jumping off the edge, that was the first time I realized that the human body has more to offer than just walking...

Age 14 I started practicing Capoeira, 3 years later I began teaching.
Age 16 tried Skateboarding.

Age 17 Paganello - first real tournament, WOW!!! that's what I wanna be when I grow up...
Age 18 First Israeli Championships, it's happening!!

Somewhere here I began Juggling, I love it!

Age 19 - I'm convinced that Freestyle Frisbee is the best thing there is.
