West Coast Thunder…
I spent the last weekend and a few days preceding it in Vancouver running around in gorges, leaping from boulder to boulder, falling into rivers, and in general messing around as much as possible.
During my time I was able to get a bit of throwing in and also got a chance to watch Traffic and Furious practice on Sunday morning.

CUC 2010 Day 4 Pictures by Jon Hines
Elite athletes are well and good but fans out number them 10 to 1. I once had the opportunity to play for fans, and I have to say, I was jealous of the players on the field in the stadium on day 4 of the 2010 Canadian Ultimate Championships. It took me a while to negotiate a little strip of gravel at the end of one endzone to shoot the athletes from but while I worked at getting field access, I took a look at the crowds and grew an appreciation for their enthusiasm and their joy at the event. I’ve included a few shots of the non-players in this gallery because I think they deserve some coverage. Continue Reading →

CUC 2010 Day 3 Pictures by Jon Hines
Day 3 was my first and last morning to have a working shower at Nationals. It was a nice shower while it lasted if a little small. Day 3 was the day my computer died so that I was unable to post pictures from the tournament, sigh.
I spent a lot of the day dodging a group of local photographers who were selling pictures at disc central. I was told that I had to stop taking pictures 5 times throughout the day by either the local pros (in the morning) or the event organizers (in the afternoon). At first I was fairly upset at first as I’ve never been told that I have to stop taking pictures of ultimate so that someone else can sell pictures similar to the ones that I would have given away for free. After I moved from the higher interest games (masters semi-finals and juniors final) I got some pictures I was happy with and had time to appreciate that Ultimate has risen to the level that a group of photographers would find a (theoretically) workable business model selling the pictures. I did manage to get some of the semi finals and finals in between getting kicked off fields, some of which are shown below :).
[from Tushar] Day three photos contain a wide cross-section of teams involved in some tough matches. Due to multiple photographers some photos (like #3) are available in other galleries on this site.
The following pictures were taken by Jon Hines throughout the third day of CUC 2010 in Sherbrooke, QB.
Enjoy!

CUC 2010 Day 2 Pictures by Jon Hines
I had not planned to go to the Canadian Ultimate Championships this year since I wasn’t on a team and in 2009 when I was a player (Karma, Open) I wasn’t able to shoot the games I wanted to (ex. Finals) due to field restrictions. My plans changed suddenly when Tushar offered to give me IAmUltimate credentials for the tournament. After some scrambling I arranged to drive through the night on Thursday night (the tournament runs Thursday through Sunday) with two of my ultimate buddies in order to get to Sherbrooke, QB by game start time on Friday.
