LOL i wont give you any flak for the groove suggest.
Great thing about a Groove? You can find 12,824 of them for $5 at your local PIAS.

SP Tsunami is what I use for a hard skip fade cut when I don't have the ceiling to high hyzer or turn flick something slower. Very Firebird'ish.
For skip approaches, the Drone works pretty good.
Trident is a great utility disc that can skip with the best of them. It also has a roller-friendly rim.
My buddy's Spider and Valks skip on him a bunch, too.

Ok asking a disc to skip because the edge is bevaled and allowes the skip is different. learning to put the disc at an angle to allow the skip is skill. You can skip a viper all day long. just have to have the disc at the right angly and it will skip.
Granted i am learning how to skip vibram. that is the trick. very hard to do. the rubber truly does stick to the ground. all plastic should skip in short grass.

If you want more action on your disc just mind your landing angle and put more spin on the disc. More spin = more action.
Right, because there is at least a bit of technique needed to get consistent skips. For a driver it is a lot easier to under power it and have it hit the ground low and at a hyzer angle. You have to be more precise with mid to have it hold that angle to impact.

The two champion Gator's i've thrown are skip machines. Very similar to a flat firebird when they're new, but obviously shorter .
I would use the word "Hog" to describe their flight pattern, just violently overstable.

It's a Champ Spider he's had for years. I've seen it punish his approaches onto hard pack quite a few times. With higher hyzer approaches it stays put, and it's still his go to midrange. He's also the only person I've ever seen throw one, so maybe he just has skippy form.
This is a good point. Mids won't skip the same way drivers will. Learning skips is about the angle and speed of the hyzer-side edge as it hits the ground. Flares are more consistent with a more beveled edge like drivers have.
That said, if you want a slightly slower firebird-like flight for skips the Discmania FD2 exactly fits the bill.
interesting. wish i had mine currently at my apt. i had a dx one. great utility disc. talking about it always makes me wish i still bagged it.

What exactly are you looking to get out of the skip that you have in mind?

P-Line pop top DD2. I got it to try for a main driver but didn't like it. Now it will never leave the bag because the thing skips like a motha. Nothing I have ever thrown skips like this disc. I use it for skipping around trees and it has come through time and again.

FD2 or gator
I'd go with a gator, "This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me."

I use a FLICK for this, but it is a fast driver disc, but its SOOOO overstable that it cuts early anyway, super skippy. That's what I use.
