Flimsee has popped up in a lot of cities lately, but I think our favorite place to see people playing is Cincinnati. Disc sports are not something people are used to in a backyard, so introducing Flimsee at Bone’s Buckeye tailgate last fall ended up being a great time.
Cincinnati is the home of Cornhole and to these folks, yard games are no joke. They have a very competitive nature when it comes to games and in my personal experience have quite some talent down there. We have now had Flimsee out at some Bengals games, Reds games, and plenty of backyard barbeques, but I think our favorite time was the Phish concert when we dropped down the Flimsee Box.
We got some pretty good amateur video at each of these parties and we hope you enjoy the action.
Also, next time you are in Cincinnati, be sure to check out some of their great disc golf courses that are popping up around town.

One family reunion at a time

Once we finalized the Flimsee® Classic Set, the first thing we had to do was take it on a tour around Ohio and see how it ‘fit in’ among other outdoor yard games. What we found was that Flimsee is an instant hit. It really takes some players that have pretty good experience tossing a disc around, but for the most part it is fun for all skill levels. Flimsee® Cups is the game of choice for weening people away from cornhole bags and back to tossing the classic flying saucer. This fresh new way to play is a hit at parties and always stirs up great reactions.
Outdoor games at family reunion’s are a great tradition in my family and Flimsee did an exceptional job at bringing everyone together for some good ole fashioned backyard fun.
Special thanks to the Eberly Family Reunion for these great action shots.
Cheers to having fun and playing Flimsee® often.
