The Slauerhoffbrug is a fully automatic bascule bridge in the city of Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. It uses two arms to swing a section of road in and out of place within the road itself. It is also known as the “Slauerhoffbrug ‘Flying’ Drawbridge”.

The city lived in a sort of everyday present. It ha no need to believe in itself as a London, or an Athens, or even a signifier of the New World, like a Sydney, or a Los Angeles. No, the city couldn’t care less about where it stood. He had seen a t-shirt once that said: NEW YORK FUCKIN’ CITY. As if it were the only place that ever existed and the only one that ever would.

I used to play Ultimate, college team and a city parks league. Definitely some impressive tosses here, but of course we don’t see how many attempts were made before the successful ones that made it into the edited video. The excited reactions to many of them suggest that they aren’t routine to the guys involved.

I play ultimate. If you know how to throw well, 90% of these shots aren’t hard at all. That one up the stairs was cool though.
