it is nice to hear the tactics and discs he employs to do his dirty work. i hope he dominates for a long time. now, i just wonder what he uses on his hair.

Store owner: Hello?
Caller: Do you have Nikko in the bag?
Store owner: why yes we do
Caller: Well you better let him out!

 

[BucketBonanza]

that would have to be a big bag to fit all that hair in

 

[Spatula Cornroll]

Put a plastic bag over his head.

They have hairbags that big on the islands.

Nice that he doesn't have to have 100% Gateway discs in the bag. I'm alot like Nikko. I don't throw forehand either.

 

[shinypickle]

he shure does like his wizards.

 

[cfair]

would anyone be willing to make a list of everything he said he carries in his bag? Sounds like a whole lot of discs. Also there was a lot of innova in there (1 discraft?).

I saw Nikko at the USDGC this year.
Despite the fact that he gave away the USDGC on the 14th hole, he never kicked his bag or got emotional.
Handled it like a pro.
Shook Will's hand (before anyone else) at Hole 18's basket, like a pro.
I'm not saying he's never acted like an a**, or never will again.
From what I saw, I 'm not hatin' Nikko anymore.

With Gateway to sponsor you, you just have to use their putters. Hence a lot of Wizards.

And he did make sure to mention a prototype that Gateway is working on.

Yea but before USDGC he was showing us is "new" throw. A 300+ lefty back hand. And he was accurate!

I think it's Nikkos uncle or someone related to him that started/owns Gateway an thats why hes sponsored by them - at least I believe I read that somewhere - that would be pretty sweet to be related to someone at Innova/Discraft/Lat64/Gateway etc. Anyone on here got a relative in the DG bizzz? C'mon people, who got da hookup?

 

[U_NICED_ME]

No relations but good friends with Innova and DC sponsorships, so can usually get some good deals!

I was reading someone's thread about Nikko's putt http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19708 and the OP said Nikko used a Magic to putt with.

I can't hear the vid, is it a Magic or Wizard?

 

[Stetz1010]

Yeah - Here's the interview he did where he mentions that Dave McCormack (Owner of Gateway DG) is his uncle, an that's who he learned to play from -

[Mr.Scary]

Great video, seems like he's mellowed out a bit and you can tell he's living, breathing, loving the game as he describes shots he uses certain discs for. Plus the look of love for certain discs when he looks down at them and caresses them.

Apparently, he's putting with Wizards now. he used to use Magics, I believe.

Oh good, this isn't about that one video where he calls them frisbees, that one made me mad
