I have been meaning to try to fit the Ghost into my bag, but I throw primarily base plastic Rocs since premium plastic takes forever to beat in here in the midwest. I heard that Legacy has been trying to re-work their base plastic blend to make it more durable which is why they don't have Ghosts out in Protege plastic yet. Any word on when those may become available?

Hey Steve -

A few questions for the brothers Rico:

On Legacy: 
- What was the initial impetus for starting Legacy Discs?
- At the outset of the company, what types of discs/plastics were not on the market that you felt/feel the need to manufacture?  In other words, what has been missing from the market that your company is now filling?
- How do your discs differ from others on the market?
- Players love the first runs of discs, as a manufacturer please explain the thought process behind tweaks that are made to discs from first run to second run to third run to... (discs are undeniably different from run to run)
- Without naming names, what has been the feedback on the discs from players sponsored by other companies?
- Will you be expanding the Legacy team?  When? 
- What's on the horizon for Legacy, disc-wise?  Equipment-wise (bags, stools, etc.?)
- Talk a little about Ace Run events (including discs, players' packs, etc.).

On other companies: 
- Thoughts on DD's newly released line of discs?
- Thoughts on Prodigy and their business model?

On the PDGA/disc golf in general:
- What do you think of the PDGA's continued strategy of a grassroots effort to grow the sport?
- What efforts need to be made to grow disc golf/"reach the next level"?

These questions are for MurderMike.

How did your video editing and creative skills get so Nasty?

Where do you think you would be if you never discovered disc golf?

If you were banished to an island like Napoleon, and allowed to bring one type of beer, 1 disc, and 1 flavor doja, what would they be?

Comment to the Rico bro's - thank you for the decades of hard work and continued envelope pushing of technique, talent and technology, true gentlemen and scholars of the game! bless!
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
