Shane’s Flying Disc Show

You may have been re-directed to my photography page if you were looking for Shane’s Flying Disc Show.  Dream Weaver just blew me away.  I could only get so much help from Go Daddy before they refused to help me get through the hard parts of web pages, like connecting FTP sites with Dreamweaver and Go Daddy.

I am utilizing Facebook, FlickR, Youtube, Vimeo and WordPress to bring you Shane’s Flying Disc Show and Shane K. Smith Photography.  I have been a photographer and Flying Disc Thrower since elementary School.  I made my first money with a camera in High School and my first money with a Frisbee in 1978. I also made money by teaching Tennis since I was 13.  I am writing this in 2020.

I am going to set my menus up on my web pages so that Shane’s Flying Disc Show comes up first.  Then all my other stories will fill in alphabetically.

Thanks for showing up in here!

Please make time to click on follow and fill out the email alert part near the bottom of the page. Share on Facebook or other sites. I put some tunes at the bottom of each page. Please come back often. I get motivated knowing someone is out there!

As of 20200514, I temporarily deactivated Facebook so I could concentrate on this project. I’ll be back on Facebook soon. I am shooting for a return to Facebook by June 12, 2020.

To get to the best of Shane’s Flying Disc Show please find me in the menu above.

Harvey Brandt World Champion

Harvey Brandt

Harvey took me to see this man in Pennsylvania. He was probably one of the very first of the avid Disc collector’s on the planet. Last heard from a book was in the works from Jim Palmeri. Jim has been seen hanging out with Daniel Roddick handing him keys to a Mazda at the 50 K tournament!

Shane K Smith

Top Secret info. If any of us can get Harvey into his attic and dig through his boxes of history, besides Karl Cook he may have one of the greatest photo collections of disc history. Harvey also had a motor drive!

Shane K Smith

Inside information! Harvey survived on Peanut Butter and Yogurt while I survived on Cheeseburgers. I became a deconditioned athlete and Harvey won more World Titles! However, I am determined to live longer!

Jim Palmeri would probably LOVE these photos! I do! Thank You Karl Cook!

The photos below came from photographers I don’t know yet.

I still have this Macro Mini Harvey gave me.

DISCALENDAR By Harvey!

They will know! Three South alumni and I took the shot with a Polaroid.

Air/liquid cooled. That is what threw me! I am never too old to learn. I wonder if there is still time for me to become a certified mechanic! I learned a few things along the way. Don’t pretend you know the answer to something even if it hurts.

“Main Specs

  • Engine: 1254 cc Air/liquid-cooled 4-stroke flat twin engine. BMW R GSA 1250
  • Power: 136 HP.
  • Torque: 105 lbs-ft.
  • Wet Weight: 549 lbs (249 kg)
  • Seat Height: 33.5 in (850 mm) **Other options available.”
  • “
  • Are BMW motorcycles liquid cooled?
  • From 2013 (R1200GS), some BMW bikes have water-cooled heads, but (like the oilheads), the new engines still use air-cooling for the cylinders. Approximately 34% of the cooling is attributed to the water-cooling which is concentrated in the highest heat-generating areas such as around the exhaust-valve seats, etc.”

At one point the adventure bikes were oil cooled.

Judith, I got the price all wrong.

Motorcycles: Bullies Bar & Grill for Bike Night 20240418

20240418 By Shane K Smith

Bullies

Service options: Has live music · Has karaoke · Good for watching sports

Address: 4695 S Main St, Winston-Salem, NC 27127

Phone: (336) 293-4127

Congratulations to Bullies Bar & Grill. They brought Ted’s Kickin’ Chicken back to life. I talked to several people today that mentioned they haven’t been back since Ted’s closed. The new owner Robinson-Cooper, along with the staff and crew brought the place back to life. The Bike Night featured good tunes, pool and awesome food. They had Chicken Wings, Burgers and Rib Eye steak sandwiches. These guys in the kitchen can cook too.

I like the Bar Tenders reflection in the mirror!

I often post blocks of photos separately. I made these downloadable. You can click on each photo individually and download them one by one. If you make any money off of one split it with me! For these photos for bike night 20240418 I made each photo downloadable or you can load them all at once. Viewing this page may require a fast internet speed. The gallery photos are reduced in resolution for mass uploading but I will create a link and mark it if you want the full resolution shots. I’ll probably put those links at the bottom of each gallery or the bottom of the story.

I met this cool dude with his side car and his group and their dog before Ted’s closed. They are back. The photos you are viewing are reduced in resolution. You can find a different presentation and a way to download the photos here: But come on back. https://adobe.ly/3W7L5HI

https://adobe.ly/3W7L5HI

The photos of the side car and group from 2019 aren’t co-operating. If you need them I can get them to you.

You can download the entire group of photos or just the one you like except for the ones from 2019. Adobe isn’t playing nice with 2023.

The above fun group came to Ted’s for one of the last parties. Downloading those photos will be a little different. Plus that was the same day I met Carly and her old man.

Now I need to take my ass-whooping because I deserve it. A way cool lady biker asked me to take a shot of her group. I got one shot with the front row all in focus and one shot with the back row in focus. I took a half dozen shots to get it right. But I f’d it up. I hope you give me another chance! And I will double check it next time. It is called depth of field and I didn’t set it right.

I want to get this right so flag me down next time we all meet up.

The downloads are here. https://adobe.ly/3W7L5HI. How to download is just above. Did I mention I cut a friend out of the photo. I have to get better as I go!

OK let’s Rock! This next gallery is reduced for web. You can view them and download them as a slide show at the adobe link posted below the set.

If I can find this drone footage I’ll post it.

Downloadable photos at the adobe link:

Motorcycles: Carly Dukes

Carly has been planning and promoting Judy’s and Bullies Bar & Grill.

The very second I laid eyes on her I knew she was special. She will take this bar and Judy too to new heights. You will be able to come to a safe club with a touch of old entertainment. Talent thrives in her family.

This is a test page for Carly. This zip file includes my photography of Carly and Carly’s own work. I like to flip her selfies. You can download those files all at once. I will prepare another way to download the photos all at once or one at a time. I will release these with Carly’s approval. I wish I had taken all of Carly’s selfies.

Carly-ArchiveDownload

I will rig this adobe link with the same photos you see here but you can download all of them at once or one at a time.

Or consider that they are the same photos with different possibilities. Every photo app has it’s own way of presenting the photos.


South Video Idea from Shane

Half of our class was in the band. Attempting something like this with our classmates may take a couple of years out of my life but I can see it as plain as day!

Dude even has 50 in glitter on his shirt. But this isn’t about the 50. The Fitty!

I’ll be standing in the corner singing kumbaya.

Subscribe to Playing for change on youtube. You’ll get my idea.

I don’t know if I had this idea before playing for change or not! I know I “coined” Change your Balance!

Above video has a clip out of Venice Beach near where I learned to play Frisbee!

Our South group has to help. I can see 20 musicians from our group deciding on a song to send me. They all play the same song and I cut it. Visiting 20 people would be a great idea too. But time is running short. They make this look easy running around the world and piecing together a perfect song with different musicians.

Get it yet?

Change your balance or Balance your change! It is up to you!

I’m not one to post things on Facebook that deal with personal life.
On Monday I got some very horrible news. One very important person in my life passed away. Been trying to wrap my head around it. My Brothers and Sister down south lost their mom. Who I considered my Step mom/Mom #2. She raised my older brother Derrick younger brothers Nic Bowlin Daniel Bowlin and my younger Michelle Bowlin to be very genuine people and kind. Teresa Eller Bowlin was such a kind and wonderful women and she is loved and missed by so many people.

Today I got the worst phone call anyone could ever get. My mom calling my phone from the room next to me saying she couldn’t breathe. Today I lost the greatest person anyone could ever ask for. She did absolutely anything and everything she could for us and whoever needed a hand. Mom, I just want you to know, you were amazing and I love you and I’ll miss you forever and always. Can’t wait to see your smile again. Fly high Mom Fly high
