Wicked Sky Rider Pro - 125g High Performance Flying Disc

Who does like a frisbee

What more do you want

So, if you read the review, you'd be mistaken for thinking this is come kind of premium product, specially hand-crafted for pro-flyers.Bah, totally poppycock (to use an old english expression). This is a cheap plastic disc, which is the same as the one I had when I was a kid in the 1970s. The frizbee hasn't changed much in decades, and except for the aerobie rings and triangles, you can't improve on something that just works. But more on that later....Since it's a tried-and-tested shape, the disk flies very well, and generally goes where you want it to. It's pretty heavy, so doesn't get TOO buffetted by the wind in light breezes, but as with all these plastic ones does suffer from being 'tipped over' by a lateral breeze, so can zoom off at funny angles sometimes. The edges are midly more weighted than the middle which does help a tad, especially helps to keep the spin going.As a frisbee, it delivers on the promise. One word of caution though... because it's so heavy, I wouldn't recommend it to be used with young ones. They'll throw it quite hard, and even striking an arm or a leg can hurt. Hitting another youngster on the side of the head would be painful! So, older kids / adults only! No 5yo's or younger!I'm sure the manufacturers will bamboozle you with "pro plastic construction" and "easy grip surfaces", but to be honest, it's a large plate of plastic with an easy-grip curved edge (just like every other frisbee), so that textured upper surface barely gets a use.The feel of the plastic and the smell of it take me back to when I was a kid, so I'll hesitate to guess it's pretty much the same. Even the little plastic strings that come off it when it strikes stonework, and you peel them off like tiny pieces of cheese string are identical to how they used to be.Given that plastic is, like £5 per tonne, the actual price of this frisbee to produce must be in the pence-range, yet is being charged at £5-£10. Someone is making a fortune off it! Don't get this thinking you're getting some kind of pro-evo super-disc. It doesn't even come in a box, just a part-covering card sleeve.Nice as a stocking filler for an 8 yo or older, and good for taking to the beach with your dog, or maybe fun for camping with. Very sturdy!

This frisbee is great. We’ve always had a frisbee in the car for days out for the kids ( grown ups) to play with. Unfortunately it took a wrong turn and was lost so I needed to replace it. This one is the same size and not as expensive as some. It works exactly the same and floats really well. I initially thought it was expensive but it seems frisbees in general are no longer cheap. This was therefore a competitive price. During play it was trodden on, hit a few trees and remained intact and un- damaged. . We didn’t encounter any issues with it and I’m sure it will entertain us for years to come. No regrets in buying this.

I bought this on the strength of the reviews re: finger callouses. I've used it at the local park and am happy to report that it does exactly what a good frisbee player expects from it and without the pain that I usually get with my middle finger. No injuries here and my daughter and I had a blast trying it out.

Flies well for a light Frisbee (it is 115gram, not 125g as stated) The rim is well weighted and very well balanced. Great first frisbee for kids. Maybe not quite as accurate for long throws. Will probably buy the 180g too.

This Wicked Skyrider Pro Flying Disc makes me feel inadequate. I've thrown a regular frisbee and seen it arc in awkward directions before eventually (after a good number of attempts) gliding smoothly. Trying this one didn't really yield any notable benefits in terms of accuracy of throw or distance covered so I'm not as wowed as other reviewers. I've also been tainted by watching YouTube videos in the past (god knows how I ended up watching videos of people throwing frisbees but that's YouTube for you) and the expectation that any frisbee with the word Pro in it should be able to travel for miles with a flicka-da-wrist. Nope. I suspect there are more expensive versions of a frisbee but I haven't fallen into that realm and don't plan to. The amount I paid was just enough for me thank-you-very-much and it's a decent enough product but don't expect it to make you a Pro.

I’ve tried this item and feel like it is good for beginners. But not the best as the material is quite heavy so I don’t feel like it floats in the air long enough.Also, due to the thickness of the frisbee it doesn’t give a good grip
