208 DISCS

Hello all, I have finally recovered from this last week and was able to gather up all the pictures taken to make one big post together for everyone to see.

Last weekend, we hosted a Celebration of Life for Jason Oxsen. The support and turnout was an immensely beautiful thing to witness. We had 150+ people stop through during the day, many staying for the full 6 hours we were there. The weather cleared up for a beautiful day overall. We had good food for everyone, We had people putting and throwing all day, we had memories shared, laughs had, and tears shed.

We had a massive Raffle that helped raise money to go towards expenses for the family related to Jason's passing. Jason always wanted "the biggest raffles" for any event he was a part of, and let me tell you, this was the raffle of all raffles. It was truly awesome to witness.

As it got to dark, we had a solid 30+ people together for a candle light vigil, and let me tell you all, that was one of the most beautiful things I have ever had the honor of witnessing. We cried, we took turns sharing memories, and we extinguished our candles with Jason watching over us all.

Thank you to everyone that helped to make this go so smoothly and enjoyable for everyone attending.

ZÜCA, Inc. for donating 2 carts to the raffle, and everyone else that contributed to prizes for the raffle,

Joe Plehal for hooking us up with tables and chairs, and JR J Harrell for bringing them out,

Andrew Whorton for the BBQ's, cooking food, and JR as well on the cooking.

Linda Solari for getting the beautiful picture of Jason made into a poster board, and for coming down and grabbing most of these pictures.

Chris Smith for bringing his PA system down.

Mark, Brendan and Amber for making the trip here to witness this community, and helping all morning to set up.

And for anyone else who brought food, helped set up or clean up, or was just present, we appreciate each and every one of you.

Thank you everyone once again, much love to all.

Update, you can park in the parking lot near the parks building/shelter. Permit parking is only monday-friday. See you all soon!

Celebration of Life update!

Here's the post with all information regarding Jason's Celebration of Life, this Saturday the 15th.

We are going to be getting the band shell/gazebo over by the greenbelt/river behind 7s teepad at Ann Morrison. Attached is a picture showing where it is. It is called the "old timers shelter". Please note the parking lot next to it is considered "permit only" I suggest parking along royal blvd and walking over.

We will start setting up around 11am/noon. There are bench tables at the shelter, and we will be getting some more tables and chairs courtesy of Joe Plehal with Tates. If you prefer to bring your own chair, you are more than welcome to!

We expect to be ready and have everyone start showing up around 2 or 3PM. If you would like to show up early and assist with setting up, that would be awesome!

The day will start off with some food, we plan to have a couple of BBQ's there (courtesy of Andrew W.) and I'll be getting some grill able foods for everyone to enjoy, we do ask, if anyone is able to bring side foods (salads, pastas, chips, ect.) Please do so. As well as any sodas or drinks you may want.

After the food, anyone who wishes to play a round of golf can, I will have some prizes for the winners, and a putting challenge near the shelter for those who don't want to play a full round with prizes for that too.

Once the round is over, we will have the opportunity to share stories, or speak about, and reminisce on our dear friend Jason. During this, we will also be doing a raffle, with tickets being sold all day, and all money raised will go towards expenses and the family. ZÜCA, Inc. is sending a package for the raffle, and I'll be throwing some things in as well. If you have anything you'd like to donate, bring it!

Hopefully, after all of that, we should be around dark/sun down, and we will do a nice candlelight vigil with a moment of silence to finish off the night.

We will be attempting to live stream most of this for those who cannot attend.

We hope you will join us on this day of celebration of the life and accomplishments of Jason Oxsen .

Hello again everyone,

This week has been a rough one, however we have sorted through some details and wanted to keep everyone posted.

Below is the gofundme, it will help the family to cover any expenses related to the cremation, insurance deductibles, rent for the shop so we can sort things out, legal fees, and any fees related to the Celebration of Life we have planned, as well as the Yearly memorial tournament we have planned in a few months.

The Celebration of Life will be on April 15th, at Ann Morrison Park in Boise Idaho. Start Time is TBD. We will have food, a Candle Light vigil, golf, and of course reminisce on the memories and thoughts of Jason.

We hope to see you there, and appreciate any help in getting through these rough times.

Thank you everyone.

Jason Oxsen, a Legend in the Disc golf scene., organized by Alexander Owens Hello all, My name is Alex as most of you already know. Jason was a… Alexander Owens needs your support for Jason Oxsen, a Legend in the Disc golf scene.

Also, as a side note;

Anyone who has a lost and found, purchased disc/item on hold, or purchased disc/item waiting to be shipped out, please get ahold of the page and I will make sure those get to you.

Thank you again everyone.

Hello everyone, Alex here.

Most of you know already, but I figured I would make a post here for those of you who haven't heard. It is with heavy hearts to inform everyone that Jason Oxsen is no longer with us, He passed away yesterday. I will not share the full details at this time.

Jason and I have been best friends for close to 14 years, the kindness I witnessed this man put out into the world is unmatched. He helped anyone and everyone he could without expecting a single thing in return. He helped me many times when I went through rough patches. His love for the disc golf community had no limits, and he wanted nothing more than to put smiles on people's faces, and . He went above and beyond at his own expense to make sure people were taken care of, and his presence in the scene will never be replaced.

I have helped Jason at the shop for the last few years, many of you have dealt with myself when getting your next favorite disc or accessory. With that, I will do everything in my power to keep 208 Discs alive and carry on the legacy. As for now 208 Discs will be closed for the unforeseeable future.

I will be setting up a gofundme to help cover funeral costs in the next week after I hear back from his family. I will also be working hard to get a yearly memorial tournament going.

I will keep everyone updated on services, the fundraiser, the tournament, and the future of 208 discs as information becomes available to me.

We appreciate everyone's condolences, prayers, and love being sent this way.

Thank you all,
-Alex Owens

Check out those Sai Ananda dyemax BEARS/HARPS, and this soft justices are something we all love.

Comment below if you have any interest, and we will let ya know when they show! We have small quantities on all so they will move fast.

Thanks for looking!!

TOURNAMENT-X BURST BEAR SAI ANANDA
The Bear is here to control the fairways. The Bear has a neutral to slightly understable flight for the advanced player. Think of it as the big brother of the Stag. It is controllable, predictable, and has a touch more fade and torque resistance than its little brother. The Bear is strong enough to handle any arm speed.

Speed: 8 Glide: 6 Turn: -0.5 Fade: 2.5

A portion of every sale goes directly to supporting Sai Ananda on tour.
——————————————————————————

CLASSIC SOFT JUSTICE MACIE VELEDIAZ
Strong winds will make the most experienced player look like a novice. They have forced us back into the laboratory to solve the midrange question. Our tests have led us here. The Justice is served. The Justice by Dynamic Discs is going to become your new utility disc. It will not turn over. Throw the Justice one time and you will not need to reach for anything else for a short distance, overstable answer.

Speed: 5 Glide: 1 Turn: 0.5 Fade: 4

A portion of every sale goes directly to supporting Macie Velediaz on tour.
——————————————————————————-

CLASSIC SUPREME RAPTOR EYE SOCKIBOMB SLAMMER
The Sockibomb Slammer is the first new mold in 2x Ricky Wysocki's Sockibomb lineup.

The Sockibomb Slammer is an all new mold based on the grip of the original Dynamic Discs Slammer and the consistency Ricky Wysocki loves in the Westside Discs Harp. The dependability of the Sockibomb Slammer is a must have for players of all skill levels and arm speeds. It is a super overstable throwing putter that can be thrown both backhand and forehand with a predictable finish every time, even into a strong headwind. It was created in collaboration with 2x World Champion Ricky Wysocki and is here to improve your approach game.

Speed: 3 Glide: 1 Turn: 0.5 Fade: 4
——————————————————————————

SAI ANANDA DYEMAX DISCS
Congratulations to Sai Ananda for winning her first DGPT event, the 2023 Texas State Championships! This is a huge accomplishment and a testament to her hard work and dedication to the sport of disc golf. It takes a lot of skill, focus, and mental toughness to come out on top in a tournament like this, and Sai has certainly proven that she has what it takes with her stellar putting and resilience.

To celebrate Sai's victory and support her future endeavors on the tour, we are offering a special commemorative disc for sale. By purchasing this disc, you can directly contribute to Sai's tour and help her continue to pursue her passion for disc golf.

A portion of every sale goes directly to supporting Sai Ananda on tour.

Did you know BSU has a disc golf team?

That’s right!!

This is one of many new things for the community to support in efforts to grow disc golf in the 208

GSDGC has assisted with this by sponsoring the permit as well as insurance for the event as a way to maximize fundraising efforts. We are stoked for this new venture, and wish this team the best.

Registration opens tomorrow at 5pm, and can be found at the link below.

We encourage you to take part in this event whether as a player, spectator, or by donation.

(Donation boxes are available via the reg page for non players who care to help the cause)

We are down to the last 12 TVC metal
Flake toros for this years event.

Holler if you still need one before they sell out

We thank you greatly for grabbing one

$24.99

Ordered, and ON THE WAY!

Barsby Halo Chargers (heavy)

We got 10 pink (because that’s the new thing lol)
We got 5 purple

Comment below to reserve one, and we will help you once they show based on quantities

Thanks!

The 2023 Gregg Barsby Tour Series Halo Star Charger features bright flight plates with contrasting chartreuse, purple, pink, or black rims. This high-speed distance driver is perfect for those who crave a more overstable Shryke-type flight or would like a slightly less aggressive Destroyer or Boss. Gregg states that he loves the Charger's extra speed and appreciates how he can throw it with power for extra-long flights.

The Charger is a straight-finishing, 13-speed driver that can be thrown at full power. For players looking for the consistency of the Destroyer with less fade, try the Charger. For those looking for the big distance of the Shryke, but in a disc that can better handle the wind, try the Charger.

A substantial portion of each sale will benefit Gregg Barsby and his touring efforts.

One last reminder

Team Series …
Grace
Ballista Pro
Fuse
Sapphires I’m 160-9g this time!!!

ROYAL GRAND ORBIT GRACE KRISTIN TATTAR TEAM SERIES
Grace is all about smooth distance. It has the control of a fairway driver, and the distance of a high speed driver. That combined with a neutral flight and great glide makes the Grace a versatile distance driver for the masses. Throw with Grace!

Speed: 11 Glide: 6 Turn: -1 Fade: 2
——————————————————————————

GOLD ORBIT BALLISTA PRO JAKUB SEMERAD TEAM SERIES
Ballista Pro is the big brother to the Ballista, with added stability for experienced players. It is the perfect solution if you are looking for a distance driver that can navigate tight fairways. With a great combination of speed, stability, and glide it is the go-to disc for all kinds of distance shots.

Speed: 14 Glide: 4 Turn: 0 Fade: 3
——————————————————————————-

GOLD ORBIT FUSE JOHNE MCCRAY TEAM SERIES
FUSE is the most versatile midrange driver we have ever made. Period. Co-designed with our pro Jesper Lundmark, it has a stable and predictable flight path up to 300ft, and will hold long anhyzer curves with minimal fade at the end.

Speed: 5 Glide: 6 Turn: -1 Fade: 0
——————————————————————————-

OPTO SAPPHIRE KEITI TATTE TEAM SERIES
Are distance drivers only for the pros? Nope. Say hello to our first distance driver in the Easy-to-Use Line. It's light, it's fast, yet still easy to grip and control. The Sapphire is designed to be the perfect partner to the Diamond, our most popular Easy-to-Use fairway driver. With the Sapphire you will get that extra speed and stability in your disc arsenal. It has a slim profile for smooth releases, and it is easy to get a good grip, especially for those of you with smaller hands.

Speed: 10 Glide: 6 Turn: -2 Fade: 1.5

Stay tuned for more info as we gear up to run another year of this great event.

This years pack is looking like one of the best yet!

The shop will be open 11-3:30ish

I’ll be heading up at 3:30 to help host the GSDGC winter series awards dinner

It’s a great day to golf, and a great day to treat yourself as well so come on up, and see me.

Thanks so much

It’s like I try not to post multiple times a day, but the goods just keep coming...

Ordered these this am, and will be here next week.

Holler if you have interest. Not sure why more people aren’t checking out the Hawkeye, but maybe the halos will draw you peeps out!

We have the following ON THE WAY

6 teal
4 black
Likely to be heavy weight

Hailey King Halo Hawkeyes
7/5/-1/1

If you seek predictability and accuracy in a fairway driver, look for the Innova Hawkeye. "This is a disc for staying on the fairway," says Innova disc designer and co-founder Dave Dunipace. At faster speeds it flies straight with glide that carries exceptionally far. For players with less power, it has a consistent, mellow fade. All of this adds up to accuracy... the hallmark of the Hawkeye.

A substantial portion of each sale will benefit Hailey and her touring efforts.

Just got in these Lore controller D line flex 2 P2’s

That was a lot to say 😉.

What ya see is what we have.

Thanks for looking!

Btw rainmakers came in this box, and although we cannot sell yet they sure look/feel amazing

Attention locals.

This morning I delivered a basket sleeve to Nampa Parks for Orah Brandt.

Unfortunately we have already had some incidents out there that are affecting the course.

Hole 6 (hot dog hole) has been affected.

This amazing skinny fairway was meant to be a challenge as it uses the sidewalk, and road as ob’s. Eventually this hole will be seeing trees along it, but as it stands now it’s open.

When we tested the layout we only had 1 player get wild on it, and go over the fencing into the subdivision across the road. Notes were taken there, but this wasn’t expected to be a frequent thing.

Since then players have not only been doing that, but jumping the fence into a neighbors yard. Said neighbor isn’t pleased, but was cool about it until his ring camera caught numerous people jumping into his backyard.

This is why we do test events, and also why I always recommend delaying tee pads for a bit while the course works it’s kinks out.

Moving forward we have unfortunately had to cut this hole in half, and the deep position will be for tourneys only with supervision.

Please please consider the things you may affect with your behaviors on local courses. I understand the desire to reach that pin off the tee. I get it. The jumping of peoples fences however is never ever ok.

Thanks to anyone who can help prevent these issues in the future. We will move forward with the shorter hole, and all is well. Just a bit disappointed I guess that this had to happen.

I’m back!!

Kinda.

Gonna take it super super easy today at the shop, but I’m gonna open up regular hours, and do my best.

Thanks for all the well wishes btw it was a great support system that is appreciated.

Today we have the Lat64 Savior dropping, and also ordered the reinvented MD1 this am from Discmania.

These release April 6th, and I didn’t go super hard, but did get a stack.

As always let me know by commenting below if you have any interest in an amazing DM midrange with a 6 glide.

Thanks for looking, and thanks for being awesome.

Have a great day
