A few weeks ago I wrote a tutorial blog post for all those interested in learning the sport of Ultimate Frisbee. Photographs from games at Chelsea Ballfields illustrated the classic techniques of the game so that you, with a little practice and know-how, could be crowned Champion.

I got back out on the sidelines recently to photograph a few games of Friday Ultimate in Chelsea and, to my astonishment, the teams were showing off new moves that, though less than traditional, just may be the outrageous positions that can also help you cross that line from player to champ.

#1 Cyborg Eyes

Sparkling eyes help with night vision now that the days are shorter, as well as auditioning for the next installment of Terminator.

#2 Passing Out

Is he sleeping? Making turf angels? Ending a yoga session? All good guesses. Only the most serious athletes, such as our sprawled player, know the secret to the psyche out.

#3 Wrong Sport

What is a better way to confuse your opponent than to wear shorts that advertise the wrong sport? The other team will underestimate your skills, assuming you’re a better swimmer than frisbee-er.

#4 Do Something Else

Yeah, you could play the game, but that’s how everybody else thinks you’re supposed to win. Take it from Matt, get off the field, strap on a camera that will most certainly give the on-site photog camera-envy (compensate, much?), and take pictures. You could intercept plays and run around and get all sweaty. Or you could blind the other team with your flash.
