If you were anywhere near the east Green Lake Park fields this weekend, you probably saw (or, at least, heard) the 2010 Freestyle Disc World Championships. While the final competitions wrapped up yesterday, you can still catch “open jams” today (Monday, August 9, 2010) until 7:30 p.m. Photographer Scott Holter captured some great shots of the action: Thank you, Scott Holter!
