The character of this man is insane. I love that he doesn't just drop dismania immediately. Any company that gets Simon is getting an incredibly valuable asset.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen anyone leave a team or sponsor with as much grace and class as Simon Lizotte. No matter where he goes, I will always be a fan.
My impression of Casey is that is the ombodyment of a good heart. He and Simon deserve each other. I hope Casey knows the support he gets for his insanely lovely character. The same for Simon, but his vlog is so big that I think he knows from the comments, and hopefully they both take it in. Also some realyl solid putting in this vid, Casey.
Honestly it was a super genuine move. You can really tell how broken apart Simon is right now, just a great video from start to finish. Genuine emotion, and two people who really love the sport, and I'm sure will continue making videos together and supporting each other.
Have a new level of respect for Casey for grabbing that PD for you. Seems such a small gesture but given the current circumstances, that was great to see. Can't wait to hear and see what the future holds for you! We love you Simon!
And the fact that he aced and didn’t make a huge deal about it let’s you know he cares about Simon enough not to take the spotlight or make it at all about him. Good dude!
It's obvious that this move isn't a decision you made lightly. I'm very impressed with how you've handled the transition. Promoting Discmania right til the end and not mentioning the new sponsor is a class move. I can't wait to see what comes next. All the love.
It's mindbending picturing Simon not throwing that first run PD, Anna & Elsa, P1x's, Doombirds in the wind, and throwing Eagle's face into water repeatedly. Truly fascinating times and it'll be a fun ride!
@@Rob-in-hood maybe you just aren’t comfortable enough with yourself to be sharing what you’re feeling. But their comment was meaningful and yours was pointless :)
That was a real tear up kind of moment! I've never felt this way about any body in the discgolf world! You can truly feel and see how emotionally connected he was with discmania and he's a true role model in my eyes the best disc golfer on the planet best of luck to your future Simon and a happy family! A lizotte fan for life!!!
WOW! No better way to end the journey with discmania than with Casey. So many video’s over the years with you both throwing Discmania plastic. What a friend to get that PD back like he did. Very emotional video for sure. Waiting now for the next chapter.
This video perfectly encapsulates why I, and so many others, love you, Simon. You ALWAYS wear your heart on your sleeve; the mix of emotions come through the camera more effortlessly than the seemingly endless streak of ace runs you take (and more often than not, make). I’ve never had the good fortune of meeting you in person, and yet I feel like I know you so well. I’m so excited to see the next chapter in your career!!
Casey is the man. I hope he rises up to carry that Discmania torch with Kyle and really breakthrough. What a great dude. This video is surreal and honestly I think you captured it best...there are no words for the moment but it's exciting to see what is to come.
Simon, you definitely finished in style! These last two videos were the most authentic I ever saw on UA-cam! Your emotions and thoughts were transferred in every respect. Even technical aspects as camera work and lightning matched perfect. I'm absolutely sure you will succeed whatever your next step will be! 🖖
Im not crying, you're crying! the pure emotion on Simon this whole video proves that he is as humble of a human as anyone can be! Best of Luck on the next venture!
All I can say is that whatever's next must be a helluva big deal to get you to leave a company you still love. Can't wait to see the joy you've got waiting to reveal to balance out the sadness of leaving being really real.
Got me emotional with that last bit. Love that you played this round with Casey too! He really came in clutch with that disc retrieval. Hope someone gets that P1 Ace for you too.
I don't even know how to express what I about to try to say.. Watching this video and having been following Simon for 2+ years now, you can't help but see some of his pian for leaving this company. Like when he threw his p1x on the frozen lake. You can tell he definitely wanted to at least keep that disc and add it to his memory collection (I kind of cracked a tear or two for him). Discmania was a huge part of his life. And then, just the way he carries himself, his character, his humility, his kindness, his approach to the game, his approach to life. Simon, I have never had the pleasure to meet you but, I love you man. I know you bring joy to many, you have been very professional and honest with everyone. I thank you for bringing disc golf content to the world, and I feel like you do it with the best intentions and the biggest heart. Just know that I'm sending you BIG HUGS and BEST OF WISHES on your new journey ahead. Also, I hope you crush it this year!!! P.S. See what I mean? I was all over the place. *sigh*
I teared up a bit as he went to get his last putt and Casey zoomed in on the Discmania logo on Simon's back. Great ride Simon. Wishing you all the best with a new brand. You deserve it.
You and Casey playing your last Discmania round together was a great finish! He`s a good friend, super fun blogger guest and just an all-around likable guy who`s light enough to retrieve your beloved PD.
Wow - that ending hit hard. Great final Discmania vlog - you have a great friend with Casey - sacrificing himself to the ice like that! ❤ wishing you all the best on your future endeavours Simon, what a class act you are.
incredible way to turn out the light and put the Discmania story to a halt, this is not the end of things. this is Simon in his 30s grown up and on the run to new exiting stories. I'll follow.
Great final video Simon. We understand your mix emotions. It almost brings tears to my eyes even though I don't throw Discmania. I just have always been a fan of yours. I will still be with your move to the other company. Looking forward to seeing who that is next time. God bless your family.
You guys are the best. Both Simon and Casey you have inspired me, watching the Channel and following the tour over the past couple years. Thanks for taking us along, and best of luck in the future! Looking forward to what happens next with Simon's big career move! Cheers, Disc Golf Lovers! Everywhere!
What a ride. You are far beyond most humans in terms of authenticity. So many people ask "why do you care where they go or what brand they throw?" It's because you care so much, you emanate positivity and genuine thoughtfulness. How can we not care?
So classy. He shows so much respect and deserves so much respect. This man literally shows how to bow out gracefully yet keep the excitement of what’s to come. Good stuff wish you all the luck in the world. Just sooooo classy
I've only been playing since July and I'm glad I've discovered you! You're an amazing person, plus you play disc golf! I'm glad I was able to get a mind bender and sky god iv, but I'm really glad I get to see you try something new!
Been watching Simon's channel since the start,have never meet him,don't know him but his last 2 videos made me cry,can't wait to see what's next for him.such a great human being.
Big Shoutout to Casey. What a friend, what a man of character. Watching this last video making me a little bit sad, but I'm excited to see what the future will bring to you and us. Wish you all the best from Germany. 🙋🏼♂
can't wait for the announcement and see what new molds you throw. Transition is never easy especially when you leave something you love. Change is always inevitable and if taken as a journey you come out stronger in the end!!! Simon you are a great story teller. looking forward to your next chapter!!!
This video really hits on all the emotions. But excited to see where Simon goes and how many new disc I’m gonna have to order lol. Best of luck Simon, you are the man!!!!
Honestly had me almost tearing up man. I have so much love and respect for you dawg just know this new journey will be worth it. The footprint you left on dismania will live on forever. Truly will be known as a legend in the disc golf community. Keep doing your thing man, and don't forget... always listen to your heart ❤️
I can’t wait to see where you go from here! You are the only one that I have seen pay so much respect to a company. And for DM to make a thank you video show how much they loved having you on there team! I’ll always be on team SL!!
Holy crap! Very powerful video! Actually, I got emotionally involved in this video! Felt your trepidation and vibe! No matter what you have decided to do for yourself and your family, I'm anxiously waiting for the next video to drop!
Definitely has to be pretty crazy to say goodbye to all those discs you know so well, it's like throwing your whole bag in a lake trying to clear it. However the fresh start and fresh outlook will be worth it in the end.
Goose bumps. I’ve only been playing a mear 2 1/2 years but it feels like a lifetime of watching Simon vlogs. This is an exciting new season but with a lot of emotion. One thing I know in life is that we are never the same people year after year. You have to learn who you are constantly and you’ll be surprised by your life. Change is good. Painful at times. But it’s good.
Simon, you wear your heart on your sleeve. The vulnerability you display in your content is why you have the following you do. This was a very bittersweet vlog, and the way you capture everything in it, emotionally, just shows how much compassion you have for everything about disc golf. We all support you as you close this door and walk through the next door. Godspeed brother.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a new video uploaded by Simon... There is so much that I want to say, but I can't find the right words to express myself. You have brilliantly captured and shared with the world your growth as a disc golfer and your growth as a person. Your story is incredible and you are amazing! I'd be willing to bet that there will be documentaries, books, and maybe even movies made about you and your journey through life. Thank you for all that you do!
Such sentimental music. Although you didn’t get an ace, you parked darn near everything. And Casey was on fire! Excellent ace by him. He was happy to be at Maple Hill for your final round. Of course, your thoughts were confused. You lived a breathed Discmania for 10 years. And you didn’t leave because of resentment or pain. You left on good terms and there is still part of you that’s going, “And why am I leaving again?” But then you remind yourself that’s okay to evolve and change. Excellent things are in front of you. I wish you all the best.
I may have never thrown Disc Mania, but you have always been my favorite disc golfer to watch. Looking forward to continue watching you on your next chapter.
It's been a pleasure following your career in disc golf all these years, and I'm excited to see what the next chapter has in store for you. If my 40 years of life have taught me anything, it is that change is inevitable, but if faced willingly and with a sense of openness can bring about growth and satisfaction like almost nothing else can. Seems like you are doing just that. Congratulations, Simon - we all look forward to seeing what the 2023 season has in store for you!
Wow! Such an emotional round. Simon, you are an amazing personality. No one is more universally loved in the sport. The eyes of the entire disc golf world are upon you this year. Your legion of fans sit on the edge of our seats. We all wish you all the best!!!
Way to put yourself out there man! So many up and comers won’t know the feeling of a 10 year run coming to an end! Your showing pure emotion! Wish you all the luck brother and just know we’ll follow you wherever you go!
Thank you Simon for showing us your raw self. You are appreciated and supported, respected and your humility is exemplary. Looking forward to your next volume.
This was so great to watch. You could almost feel the emotions Simon was feeling while throwing all his discs that he intimately knows. Seeing the sheer pain he felt when he thought he lost his disc killed me.
I know first handedly the emotion of a door closing for the final time all too well, and a new door opening for you and your family is absolutely beautiful! Trust in God and your heart and you have nothing to ever worry! From small town Ohio we love you Simon !!!! You are truly a class act number one individual 💕
You're a real gem Simon. It was a pleasure to meet you. A new chapter lies before you. Thank you for bringing us on your journey. I just happened to think Emmitt will need a new nickname, not baby crush anymore.
I believe you're making the right move. Good luck on the learning curve with the new plastic. I have no doubt you will succeed. Keep us in the loop on your progress.
The level of class shown, and the deep respect for the opportunity granted to him by Discmania is superbly professional. This man is a role model in and out of the game.
These videos have really been hitting me in the feels. Sad to see you leaving Discmania but in turn excited for you and your family for everything coming in the future. I will be supporting you no matter what plastic you throw, and thank you for everything you've done for the game!
Simon, you are one of a kind. You have built something no other disc golfer ever has with your fans and I'm so excited to support your new journey. Let's GO!
The community will follow you wherever you end up Simon, your humility and class are why you are the true ambassador for this sport. Thank you so much for always being a great human and role model. Your very heartfelt video trending on UA-cam yesterday let the world see not just how amazing you are but potentially introduced this sport to a wider audience than any other content I could possibly think of. I will forever be a fan.
Nice disc you have there @17:02 👀👀👀 Seriously so happy for you and the family and excited to see an invigorated Simon in 2023 with some new (overmolded) plastic
I love you Simon. Your heart and passion on and off the course is truly amazing. I can’t wait to get your new signature discs. God bless you brother. As one chapter ends, another one always begins. I’ll be praying for you. 😇❤️👼
I always enjoy watching your vlogs. The level of respect, and loyalty cannot be said with words. The actions in this video displayed it to the fullest. It's sad, yet exciting to see what the new family will bring forth. Keep doing what you are doing, and you'll have supporters for life!
Casey got that ace from all of that good karma for crawling out on the ice and saving those discs. Loved the video. Super excited to hear the upcoming news. It’s bittersweet now, but the excitement will come like a wave once you get to announce everything and start playing with all that new plastic.
So einen Freund wie Casey braucht jeder. Daumen hoch für die Rettungsaktion. Bin gespannt wie es mit Simon weiter geht. Vater sein, neues Team, neue Scheiben. Es wird sicherlich nicht langweilig. Das wird super.
Simon, the way you have handled this change is incredibly classy and shows others how to do it the right way. Looking forward to the upcoming season, and the amazing things you will do with whomever is lucky enough to have you throwing their discs. You are an absolute class act
The character of this man is insane. I love that he doesn't just drop dismania immediately. Any company that gets Simon is getting an incredibly valuable asset.
And you are the best disc golf content creator ever
Words
Gyro!
Mvp!
MVP for a million a year 😊
I'm not sure if I've ever seen anyone leave a team or sponsor with as much grace and class as Simon Lizotte. No matter where he goes, I will always be a fan.
True!
@@tinymadness22 They already announced their team. Probably not
@@justinhence2105 fair, rumours talking about mvp, but im hoping for either discraft or latitude
The new Saudi League! Ten mil a tournament!
@@gprang no thanks, don't need the blood money, there's plenty to go around already.
Casey is a legend. Total support for the move. “You’re not gonna bag it anymore” and then to get the PD. That dude is solid
I wish Casey was MY BFF, but then he wouldn't be Simon's BFF so NO CASEY!!!! STAY AWAY. .............................ily
pretty sure they could get the other disc with a bit of effort. a piece of rope and a couple of sticks and ten minutes of faffing about
Without Simon,Casey will be my favorite personality in Discmania.
My impression of Casey is that is the ombodyment of a good heart. He and Simon deserve each other. I hope Casey knows the support he gets for his insanely lovely character. The same for Simon, but his vlog is so big that I think he knows from the comments, and hopefully they both take it in.
Also some realyl solid putting in this vid, Casey.
Honestly it was a super genuine move. You can really tell how broken apart Simon is right now, just a great video from start to finish. Genuine emotion, and two people who really love the sport, and I'm sure will continue making videos together and supporting each other.
I’ve never cried because of someone retrieving a disc before. We all need a friend like Casey.
Dude I literally teared up when he went to retrieve it. He knows how much that disc means to Simon so like a good friend he got it back for him.
I got something in my eye oh wait that's just tears
Wow you guys cried.. stay soft kids
@@mobigsly9595 it’s 2023 we’re over fake masculinity, think about what that PD has done. Extremely meaningful to have a friend like that.
A friend indeed😭
The sadness in Simon's eyes after the p1 ace hits the ice kinda hurt.
100% chance that gets retrieved and given back to him
Wonder how thick the ice is. I imagine its thick enough to go walk out there, just have to be brave enough to know that the ice may break beneath you.
@@jimmymccolpinify Just need an rc car. Not worth risking anyone's life over, especially as a new dad.
@@jimmymccolpinify I'm from MN, Judging by the other shots of the water, no chance I would go out there. Not for 100k.
I hope someone can get out there and get his disc back for him. Might not throw it again but I'm sure Simon would like to have it back
Why am I crying over disc golf at 10AM on a Monday. Probably because Simon is the #1 ambassador of the sport we love
Have a new level of respect for Casey for grabbing that PD for you. Seems such a small gesture but given the current circumstances, that was great to see. Can't wait to hear and see what the future holds for you! We love you Simon!
Agreed. Casey is a true bro:)
That's funny. He weighs the same as me. I would have loved to do that for Simon.
Someone should go scoop the P1 off the pond with a retriever or something. Those blue babies are legends now!
My first thought were; There will be people buying diving gear or a big water pump to get that disc back to Simon np.
And the fact that he aced and didn’t make a huge deal about it let’s you know he cares about Simon enough not to take the spotlight or make it at all about him. Good dude!
Never stop releasing these casual rounds with friends and family. They're the most relatable and personal disc golf videos to watch.
13:23 - Casey is a true friend.
It's obvious that this move isn't a decision you made lightly. I'm very impressed with how you've handled the transition. Promoting Discmania right til the end and not mentioning the new sponsor is a class move. I can't wait to see what comes next.
All the love.
Class move indeed.
Casey's loyalty to Simon....endearing.
Simon basically brought Casey up and got him a sponsorship
Man, that last shot hanging up the gear... Heart wrenching
No matter what plastic you throw you’re still an amazing human Simon!
True fans and real people knows that it doesnt matter if he changes team. People who gets mad arent real fans and are literally crybabies
We will follow❤
@@Finduski whos mad lmao
@The Cracked Lenses I suspect they could match it but by that point the winds of change had set in.
One might even say he's such an amazing human, that he's a MVP of being human....
Final shot... Discmania disc into a MVP basket. The handoff was subtle, but fitting.
I was thinking the same thing. I wondered if anyone else noticed.
It's mindbending picturing Simon not throwing that first run PD, Anna & Elsa, P1x's, Doombirds in the wind, and throwing Eagle's face into water repeatedly. Truly fascinating times and it'll be a fun ride!
Cringy comment
@@Rob-in-hood your comment is cringe yes
@@Rob-in-hood maybe you just aren’t comfortable enough with yourself to be sharing what you’re feeling. But their comment was meaningful and yours was pointless :)
12:33 sad piano again! #16!!
😢😢😢
I feel like I can speak for everyone in the comments by saying we love you Simon. What a great ambassador for the sport.
That was a real tear up kind of moment! I've never felt this way about any body in the discgolf world! You can truly feel and see how emotionally connected he was with discmania and he's a true role model in my eyes the best disc golfer on the planet best of luck to your future Simon and a happy family! A lizotte fan for life!!!
WOW! No better way to end the journey with discmania than with Casey. So many video’s over the years with you both throwing Discmania plastic. What a friend to get that PD back like he did. Very emotional video for sure. Waiting now for the next chapter.
Playing at Maple Hill with Casey is 100% the most perfect sendoff video, he really nailed it
Casey played so well this round. Amazing what you all can do and make it look so easy
This video perfectly encapsulates why I, and so many others, love you, Simon. You ALWAYS wear your heart on your sleeve; the mix of emotions come through the camera more effortlessly than the seemingly endless streak of ace runs you take (and more often than not, make). I’ve never had the good fortune of meeting you in person, and yet I feel like I know you so well.

Even technical aspects as camera work and lightning matched perfect. I'm absolutely sure you will succeed whatever your next step will be! 🖖

Im not crying, you're crying! the pure emotion on Simon this whole video proves that he is as humble of a human as anyone can be! Best of Luck on the next venture!
All I can say is that whatever's next must be a helluva big deal to get you to leave a company you still love. Can't wait to see the joy you've got waiting to reveal to balance out the sadness of leaving being really real.
Got me emotional with that last bit. Love that you played this round with Casey too! He really came in clutch with that disc retrieval. Hope someone gets that P1 Ace for you too.

Just know that I'm sending you BIG HUGS and BEST OF WISHES on your new journey ahead. Also, I hope you crush it this year!!!
P.S. See what I mean? I was all over the place. *sigh*
I teared up a bit as he went to get his last putt and Casey zoomed in on the Discmania logo on Simon's back. Great ride Simon. Wishing you all the best with a new brand. You deserve it.
They were also zooming in on his sponsor to be and doing it with class.
You and Casey playing your last Discmania round together was a great finish! He`s a good friend, super fun blogger guest and just an all-around likable guy who`s light enough to retrieve your beloved PD.
Wow - that ending hit hard. Great final Discmania vlog - you have a great friend with Casey - sacrificing himself to the ice like that!
❤ wishing you all the best on your future endeavours Simon, what a class act you are.
Casey grew up in Massachusetts; he knew what was doing, but still dangerous. 😮🥶
What a great friend. I think that proves that those doubts about leaving your family behind are not valid. Family is forever.
Simon is my favorite pro, his passion, skill and determination are next level. Looking forward to watching you grow with the new sponsor. Best wishes.
The way that MVP basket stayed in frame after the last putt makes me think MVP is his future sponsor.
The amount of emotion in this is heart-wrenching. Can't imagine what going through something like this would be like.
incredible way to turn out the light and put the Discmania story to a halt, this is not the end of things. this is Simon in his 30s grown up and on the run to new exiting stories. I'll follow.
Great final video Simon. We understand your mix emotions. It almost brings tears to my eyes even though I don't throw Discmania. I just have always been a fan of yours. I will still be with your move to the other company. Looking forward to seeing who that is next time. God bless your family.
You guys are the best. Both Simon and Casey you have inspired me, watching the Channel and following the tour over the past couple years. Thanks for taking us along, and best of luck in the future! Looking forward to what happens next with Simon's big career move! Cheers, Disc Golf Lovers! Everywhere!
What a ride. You are far beyond most humans in terms of authenticity. So many people ask "why do you care where they go or what brand they throw?" It's because you care so much, you emanate positivity and genuine thoughtfulness. How can we not care?
You have a lot of support out there Simon. I’m still going to like Discmania but can’t wait to see where you land. Cheers man and good luck this year.
Wow 10 years thank you for the awesome contact. Thank you for showing us awesome tricks and continue at discraft. I love you.
Casey is a real one!! Nothing but support and love!
and a hell of a golfer too.
So classy. He shows so much respect and deserves so much respect. This man literally shows how to bow out gracefully yet keep the excitement of what’s to come. Good stuff wish you all the luck in the world. Just sooooo classy
I've only been playing since July and I'm glad I've discovered you! You're an amazing person, plus you play disc golf! I'm glad I was able to get a mind bender and sky god iv, but I'm really glad I get to see you try something new!
Been watching Simon's channel since the start,have never meet him,don't know him but his last 2 videos made me cry,can't wait to see what's next for him.such a great human being.
I can't even imagine the overwhelming feelings you must be going through. Excited to see what you do in this upcoming season!
Holy heck I can feel them from here.
Big Shoutout to Casey. What a friend, what a man of character. Watching this last video making me a little bit sad, but I'm excited to see what the future will bring to you and us. Wish you all the best from Germany. 🙋🏼♂
can't wait for the announcement and see what new molds you throw. Transition is never easy especially when you leave something you love. Change is always inevitable and if taken as a journey you come out stronger in the end!!! Simon you are a great story teller. looking forward to your next chapter!!!
This video really hits on all the emotions. But excited to see where Simon goes and how many new disc I’m gonna have to order lol. Best of luck Simon, you are the man!!!!

I'm not crying.. you are! Good luck Simon! Everyone is here to support you.
Your journey has been an inspiration to more people than you'll ever know. Bless you and your family on this next phase.
Thanks Simon. You're the YT character that got me into watching disc golf videos. And one of the few people worth following. Keep it up!
Definitely has to be pretty crazy to say goodbye to all those discs you know so well, it's like throwing your whole bag in a lake trying to clear it. However the fresh start and fresh outlook will be worth it in the end.
Goose bumps. I’ve only been playing a mear 2 1/2 years but it feels like a lifetime of watching Simon vlogs. This is an exciting new season but with a lot of emotion.
One thing I know in life is that we are never the same people year after year. You have to learn who you are constantly and you’ll be surprised by your life. Change is good. Painful at times. But it’s good.
It’s going to be insane see you build a new bag. The amount of touch you have with your current discs is crazy. Best of luck!

Way to put yourself out there man! So many up and comers won’t know the feeling of a 10 year run coming to an end! Your showing pure emotion! Wish you all the luck brother and just know we’ll follow you wherever you go!
Thank you Simon for showing us your raw self. You are appreciated and supported, respected and your humility is exemplary. Looking forward to your next volume.
The number of near aces from Simon in this video is mind blowing
This was so great to watch. You could almost feel the emotions Simon was feeling while throwing all his discs that he intimately knows. Seeing the sheer pain he felt when he thought he lost his disc killed me.
I know first handedly the emotion of a door closing for the final time all too well, and a new door opening for you and your family is absolutely beautiful! Trust in God and your heart and you have nothing to ever worry! From small town Ohio we love you Simon !!!! You are truly a class act number one individual 💕
You're a real gem Simon. It was a pleasure to meet you. A new chapter lies before you. Thank you for bringing us on your journey. I just happened to think Emmitt will need a new nickname, not baby crush anymore.
I believe you're making the right move. Good luck on the learning curve with the new plastic. I have no doubt you will succeed. Keep us in the loop on your progress.
The level of class shown, and the deep respect for the opportunity granted to him by Discmania is superbly professional. This man is a role model in and out of the game.
These videos have really been hitting me in the feels. Sad to see you leaving Discmania but in turn excited for you and your family for everything coming in the future. I will be supporting you no matter what plastic you throw, and thank you for everything you've done for the game!
Legit started crying when the pd kicked looked like it was lost forever - glad you got it back - still crying tho - go get em Simon!!
Simon, you are one of a kind. You have built something no other disc golfer ever has with your fans and I'm so excited to support your new journey. Let's GO!
I felt so emotional from this video.
Best luck for new journey, Simon. We love you!
The community will follow you wherever you end up Simon, your humility and class are why you are the true ambassador for this sport. Thank you so much for always being a great human and role model. Your very heartfelt video trending on UA-cam yesterday let the world see not just how amazing you are but potentially introduced this sport to a wider audience than any other content I could possibly think of. I will forever be a fan.
Definitely an exciting final DM round. Casey's also a hero (be safe).
Nice disc you have there @17:02 👀👀👀
Seriously so happy for you and the family and excited to see an invigorated Simon in 2023 with some new (overmolded) plastic
What are the odds that is the one Etsy custom dye disc that pops up when you google that particular prototype mold…
@@jasperavelis9678 he posted on insta that it's an FD3 😭
@@JacobPorterLadder aww
It's been incredible. What a great journey and what a great way to cap it off. Good luck on your next journey, I can't wait to see where it takes you.
I will miss the P1 Aces, but I will never stop watching the VLOG. You're a great human being. Excited to see what you do this coming season.
Guessing a few people are driving frantically to Maple Hill right now in hopes of getting that P1 Ace
I love you Simon. Your heart and passion on and off the course is truly amazing. I can’t wait to get your new signature discs. God bless you brother. As one chapter ends, another one always begins. I’ll be praying for you. 😇❤️👼
Casey says (about the doom bird 4) "It's hard to see with the black rim..." Not-so-subtle dig at Simon joining Team MVP me thinks
it's the reason I never tried them
@@subspaceanomaly go for Axiom discs then if it's just for the rim color 🙂
You’re a real MVP of the disc golf community Simon!
Well played
Can't wait to see where you go and what you do. I'll be here for every minute of it. Go get it on this new and fun roller coaster.
Best of luck with the new brand 😊👊
I always enjoy watching your vlogs. The level of respect, and loyalty cannot be said with words. The actions in this video displayed it to the fullest. It's sad, yet exciting to see what the new family will bring forth. Keep doing what you are doing, and you'll have supporters for life!
I recognize that thousand yard stare and the overwhelming feeling of change and letting go. You got this Simon ❤️
Casey got that ace from all of that good karma for crawling out on the ice and saving those discs. Loved the video. Super excited to hear the upcoming news. It’s bittersweet now, but the excitement will come like a wave once you get to announce everything and start playing with all that new plastic.
This man is the greatest role model. This is the kind of Father most of us strive to be. Can't say enough about the character of Simon. Simon 4 Life!
So einen Freund wie Casey braucht jeder. Daumen hoch für die Rettungsaktion. Bin gespannt wie es mit Simon weiter geht. Vater sein, neues Team, neue Scheiben. Es wird sicherlich nicht langweilig. Das wird super.
Was that a mvp prototype 2.0 eclipse envy in his trunk at the end?
Simon, the way you have handled this change is incredibly classy and shows others how to do it the right way. Looking forward to the upcoming season, and the amazing things you will do with whomever is lucky enough to have you throwing their discs. You are an absolute class act
Good luck Simon! We will follow you wherever you go!🫡
I really hope you pass the torch to Casey by letting him throw the PD he crawled on the ice to save next year!
