Rick we love you. Your playing at such a high level right now, keep doing these videos it's proven to work for you. Course record after course record. "Only way your going to fail is if you have a chance to win. You're not going to have a chance to fail if you don't have a chance to win. " 🏆
That's one thing I like about this guy, he doesn't ponder or let things bring him down jus rises above and moves along. Great run at European open Rick!
Feel like I’ve always been more of a Paul fan. But watching Ricky this year, how hard he fights, how seriously he takes his craft. I’m truly a ricky fan too now
Ricky! I used to love to hate you, you're just too good, but you have made it impossible.. Your enthusiasm and personality, along with your kindness and hospitality to the next generation make you so much fun to root for! best of luck for the rest of your european swing!
Love seeing Rick carrying his own bag, just a regular dumpy dd bag absolutely rammed full of discs (check that putter pocket 😂). So pure. So much genuine enthusiasm and love for the game.
Who would have guessed Ricki would be the disc golf sage we all needed. Thank you for these high level commentaries. This is much better than anything Disc Golf Network can give, detailing how a world champion really thinks playing championship level disc golf.
Hey Ricky, I cannot even tell you how much my family and I enjoy watching these... Remember The Mamba Mentality (or Raptor Mentality) simply means trying to be the best version of yourself. That's what the mentality means. Everyday you're trying to become better." - Kobe Bryant
Greatly appreciate the “teach as you go” approach to these practice rounds. Extremely beneficial in my quest to improve my game, rather than to simply be entertained.
Your videos are a really solid introduction to the course before a tournament. I feel like I know the course pretty well after watching them. I like how you discuss your strategy too. Great work on these.
I flew out to Estonia with my wife to watch the tournament. Great memories coming up seeing this practice round. The Estonians are PASSIONATE about discgolf. Goosebumps when Kristin Tattar came out for the first time and everyone was going crazy. Getting your autograph when you were picking out the Estonia shirt. Watching the action wile drinking some fine beers. Getting to congratulate Missy when her partner was getting kebabs after her round 😂. You and Conrad being on our plane out of Tallinn… Good times.
I will not miss a single one of these practice run videos. They are too good. Also looks like this must be filmed a day before Aderhold and Gossage did theirs because the mando on hole 6 doesnt have the green cloth liner installed over that scaffolding structure the mando sign is attached to and the drop zone sign on hole 9 is still intact. Gossage snapped the drop zone sign in half with his drive on accident lol.
Wow! I really enjoyed this practice round and just watched the highlights from round one! It really shows that thoughtful practice produces results! Congrats on that record setting round 1 Sockibomb! Keep ripping!!
These videos you have been putting out are so beneficial. Super awesome man. Your doing work on that course right now, congrats on the -16 down. That is incredible. Rock on Ricky!!!
You’re the man Rick and you just keep showing it, keep showing up and showing out the way you always have and it seems like you’re in a great mental space right now, love these breakdowns thanks for all the perspective and thoughts you’re awesome
Best Videos ever produced. Makes you want to follow all these courses! The instant feedback of what your thougts are helps to learn about gameplanning.
Ricky-- I'm super inspired by you in so many ways. I hope you know that I find these videos ridiculously cool as a way of seeing how a disc golf genius thinks about some of the toughest courses on the planet. Also, thank you for your absolutely incredible push/battle at Euros. You're awesome, man. Wishing you all the best in this tournament, as always.
this is an awesome course preview. really excellent combination of showing your thoughts on the course and some great tips for practice/preparation that us randos can use. more and more of these please!
Hey Rick! We came to Nokia to watch the final round last week. What a performance you put up man!! Despite the results, you played your heart out man and it was extremely inspiring to watch you in the zone!
Ricky, I really like this format where you play out your shots and thus explain how you'd deal with different situations you encounter during the round. I think it's both entertaining and educational. Ps, I met you once during European open 2022 on a local school yard course in Tampere. You were super nice and I've been rooting for you ever since!
I genuinely think this is the best disc golf training material available right now, with maybe the exception of Power DGA. There's just SO MANY tips and ideas that only a pro could share. Especially this pro! Just watching the last few has helped my game a ton.
great video as usual. it is great how you do a practice round and a disc golf clinic at the same time. sure is a lot of throwing for the arm. best of luck in this event!
Rickys Innova -era really taught me a lot about him. Before that I wasn't a fan, but with Innova he was somehow more relaxed and approachable. Now I wish him the best.
I really dig watching your practice rounds. I'll watch every one you'll make. I like how you talk about what you're thinking for each shot. Thanks for making these. ❤
The level of play in that final round at the European Open with Ricky battling Gannon was absolutely insane, no doubt the greatest battle since the epic 2003 USDGC battle when Barry defeated Climo after a 10-hole playoff. I've been playing the game since 1996, I own all of Stokely's instructional VHS videos, as well as having watched hundreds of TH-cam instructional videos, and by far Ricky's course preview videos are the best! Ricky is obviously in top form and I can't wait to see his dominance at the upcoming World's in VIrginia!
Enjoyed all these for both the beauty up there and your top tier analysis of dg. Kids taking up the game seriously should bookmark them for repeated viewing.
Its so extreme how well i he can controll his throws he always gets the shot he wants within a couple of throws and the putting is top-top level, ricky is just too good rn
On the technical side of things… nobody does a better walk through of these courses as Ricky… NOBODY 😤👏… thanks Ricky! Always love watching grind it out on your!
Glad to have you back in Estonia Ricky. Hope you get time to enjoy the little capital. Please don't bomb the statue, he's important to the venue and our people. 😊
Hey Rick. Insane final round at European open. Really wanted you to win, but ill come watch you win worlds at Tampere next year. I was in the crowds at the beast, and i want you to know that most of us were cheering for your win. Keep up the awesome practice round vids and the great level of play

Glad to see you having fun!

Love these practice rounds. Not sure how anyone could wish you bad, love the genuine positive vibe that you live with. Go get em!

Thanks so much for sharing all your swing thoughts...makes this type of video so helpful to so many. Bless you!!
Yea man that’s what it’s all about. Course walkthrough and an educational experience all in one!
You commentate your game and explain way better than any coverage channel.
Absolutely a great mindset in playing and with preparation in disc golf. True champion
I like how you explain your thought process for every shot.... it really helps a lot so thanks for doing it. Connor O'Reilly did the same too.
Thank you for your tips. The way you explain them is the best I have ever seen.
amazing video once again! thank you so much Ricky!
Thank you Rick, super fun to watch! I love your dedication to your craft and your mindset!

this is an awesome course preview. really excellent combination of showing your thoughts on the course and some great tips for practice/preparation that us randos can use. more and more of these please!
I feel like I’m watching a crash course on how to be a pro disc golfer. This would have been the perfect thing to hear as a beginner.
Love seeing these uploads Rick! I have so much respect for you and your game. Good luck!
Hey Rick! We came to Nokia to watch the final round last week. What a performance you put up man!! Despite the results, you played your heart out man and it was extremely inspiring to watch you in the zone!
Another great one Ricky. Love the hole break downs and the strategies you are thinking about as you make your way around the course.
Ricky, I really like this format where you play out your shots and thus explain how you'd deal with different situations you encounter during the round. I think it's both entertaining and educational.

Really great content! Love the energy. Really appreciative you calling down your own technic and timing.
Thanks from Finland, Ricky! You're a true champion and a gentleman 🏆
You played amazing last week Ricky! I was really rooting for you to pull off that win.
I love the way unintended lines can still work out to give good results.
I like watching these. Love the enthusiasm after those 3 putts on 5 from c2
Enjoyed all these for both the beauty up there and your top tier analysis of dg. Kids taking up the game seriously should bookmark them for repeated viewing.
You are the best Ricky and this year you'll be PDGA Player of the Year and win at least 2 more majors!☺
It was amazing to see you play live in European Open. Me and my friends we were cheering for you! Amazing tournament! Also great content!
These practice videos are really interesting 👍🏻 keep them coming 💪🏻
I admire your attitude. On to the next one, it was an amazing battle to watch
You’re so good explaining your decision. Love these videos 🙌✌️
Rick, your practice rounds are the most informative for me. Well-done!
Its so extreme how well i he can controll his throws he always gets the shot he wants within a couple of throws and the putting is top-top level, ricky is just too good rn
You casually talking about your throws teaches me a lot about the game so thank you Ricky, good luck!
Hey thanks again for making this, I’m learning so much from these :)
Always appreciate that beneath that disc golf exterior is a committed educator!
Best disc golf player best putting all times
Cool starting hole. Keep up the great playing

Please don't bomb the statue, he's important to the venue and our people. 😊
Rooting for you and Matty!
Others have already said it but I really like hearing you talk about the mental aspect of the game. Super helpful and interesting.

Love these practice rounds !!!!!
Hey Rick.
Insane final round at European open. Really wanted you to win, but ill come watch you win worlds at Tampere next year.

Just casually dunk 3 circle 2 putts in a row. You’re on fire lately dude!
Keep it up Ricky
Hey Rick, love these videos. Could you take a look at the first link in the description to your Squarespace shop? link says website expired. Thanks !!
Here we go Rick!
That jersey is sick 🤙
10:34 looks like the car had already been hit🤣
Lets gooooo new Ricky video
Dang Gossage broke the car window too
Let's go rick🎉🎉🎉
Wow Rick keep up the hot streak bro, so proud of you, just don’t forget who taught you how to putt,lol doink!
Crazy part Ricky is that shot on 18 would have been in but it hit the banner.
Since my fav Nikke wasn’t able to challenge you guys anymore in EO, I rooted for you until the bitter end 💪💪. Good luck in Tallin!!
I commend the pros for their mental toughness. I take losses pretty hard. They do too but they bounce back so well
Let’s go !
Bagging a pioneer now i see, when did that thing get added?
Nice
Rick... Where the heck can I buy that shirt???!!!!???
Sick shirt!
The putting in this video vs the putting in Ezra's and Aaron's practice rounds. :)
I always saw you as the opponent, someone that Paul Mcbeth would hopefully beat. Now I'm just a fan.
