The correct answer includes both points of view expressed above. Namely, you can ride your bike without your hands due to the fact that when moving, your bike has a vertical position as it's most stable equilibrium. This is both due to the fact that fast spinning wheels have rotational inertia - meaning that they would much rather stay spinning in the same plane than tilt, and due to the fact that bikes usually have a front wheel 'fork' designed in such a way as to reinforce this vertical equilibrium. Discs get lift and stabilization from Bernoulli's principle the wing of a disc acts the same as a jets.
Excellent explanation.
during your no-OAT throws, you can clearly watch the plane of the disc change significantly, yet the disc does not flutter. Anyone else notice this?
It's possible to take the disc out of the plane of the release at some point in your motion, and still have it stable in that plane on release.

Haha. Explation. Great video though. This happens to me a lot with midranges as it can be hard to get a knack for releasing them correctly.
