The Matrix Catch

This is from the 23rd of May, at Macatawa Beach in Michigan. Ross is attempting the infinitely impressive Matrix catch. For this you must stand square to the disc as it approaches you and then lean as far back as possible, limbo/matrix style, which reaching up behind the disc and grabbing it as it passes inches above your nose. The completion of such an idyllic catch creates ample ooooohhhss and ahhhhs from stunned crowds as the catcher straightens up, twists his neck as an Agent would, and continues to play.
