About

In early 2009 I (Tushar) attended Paganello and tweeted the finals from my Twitter account. While I gained a great many followers I also spammed my friends on Twitter and Facebook with updates on the final games. Given the choice between sharing my love of Ultimate or losing my only non-Ultimate playing friends I took the low road and created a new Twitter feed: @iamultimate.

While Twitter was being put to good use the thought of having a blog was never far from my mind and so iamultimate.com was born.  The first post was a recap of a set of Tweets from the GLOATUS vs Team Canada game in Toronto ahead of World Games.  It was the second post that provided insight as to the goal of the site:  To share in my travels and love of Ultimate.

While mostly still my thoughts and experiences, others have started to contribute and my hope is that over time a range of thoughts are expressed from multiple contributors.  If you have an interest in submitting content then please contact:  editor@iamultimate.com.

Contributors

Tushar – Editor

Travels for Ultimate and not much else.  Right-handed and rail thin.  Plays mostly Open from time to time picks up on Mixed teams and is desperately trying to make a Womens team but for some unknown reason they won’t let him join; he suspects it’s politics and his handsomeness.

Hilco (IAmHilco)

Based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I love the sport and have been lucky enough to play at many tournaments in Europe and beyond. The sense of community in ultimate worldwide is very important to me and I hope to spread the awesomeness by contributing to IAmUltimate.

An experienced ultimate player that currently plays with Tundra in Toronto and has played with Roy, GT, Monster’s Fall Squad and went to the 2006 Club Championships with BMF in Australia, where they placed eighth. When he’s not playing ultimate you can find him with a camera in his hand and you can see is photos on his (almost) daily photoblog and his analog photoblog.
