Re: Frisbee Pickup: Right Side Up or Upside Down?

Your best bet is to chuck some discs at a wall and see how many actually flip. In our brief exploration into this we found that discs tended to stay upright.

The discs are slippery, so while they may loose forward momentum by hitting a wall, they generally stay spinning when they hit the floor. Check out some frisbee trick-shot videos, especially ones where discs are bounced off of multiple surfaces and maintain stability.
