How to Make a Kan-Jam-like Frisbee Game, One Project Closercan jam frisbee game, and Bingkan Jam Original Disc Game are some of the topics covered by the Disc Golf Nerd.
I enjoyed playing ultimate frisbee when I was in my prime.I played the game as much as possible.I had a blast traveling to other universities and competing in tournaments while I was a co-captain of the team.I didn't find many pick-up games after college.I didn't have time to play.
If you enjoy frisbee golf as much as I do, but can't find the time to play, I have the game for you.
Kan Jam is a lot of fun.The basic idea of the game is that two teams compete to throw frisbees into cylinders separated by 50 feet.One person from each team is standing.A teammate stands at the other side of the field trying to direct the frisbee without actually grabbing it.Kan Jam has a marketing graphic on their website.
I made a set of cylinders for myself because I liked Kan Jam so much.You can get the game online for $50, or you can find it at a local store for $25.The materials I used for this job cost about $50, but the cylinders I constructed are stronger than the original Kan Jam kit's.
One of the reasons for shelling out the extra money was to share this project with you.If you don't have the time to build your own, the original Kan Jam is a great buy.It is great for partying and having a good time.
I did not have a plan for this project before I went to the store.I wanted a sheet of plastic that I could bend into a cylinder and attach the two sides of it.They couldn't see the vision, so they chatted with Lowe's employees.I began walking in the aisles.Clear, flexible sheets of plastic that people normally use on storm doors, garage windows and things like that were found in the "Windows & Doors" section.The perfect dimensions for my Kan Jam look-alike were purchased by me.I fastened the sides with rivets and a metal plate because I couldn't find a good latch.
I bought this plastic.This is not the best choice for materials.The thicker plastic tends to crack while the thinner plastic is better for absorbing hits from the frisbee.
There is a picture of a riveter.We didn't have a riveter in our shop, so I thought this one would be useful for future jobs.
I grabbed a drill, bit set, circular saw and rasp after taking everything back home.I started by marking holes.You should use a smaller marker than my giant one.
I used two metal plates for each can.I put a metal plate on the inside of the goal and a smooth rivet on its outside.
The "instant win" slot was cut.I cut a 16′′ x 3′′ hole from the top and bottom of the plastic to make the official Kan Jam measurement.That is small enough to be a real challenge.
The saw I used was from Ridgid.If you don't have a twin blade, many saws can achieve this cut.
It can be difficult to bend the plastic and add the rivets on your own.I left the protective plastic on until I was done putting everything in place.
If you are following along, you can use your rasp to smooth out the edges of your slot.
The goals need a name.I decided to call them BAHA.I don't have a good answer when you ask why.It sounded good.
The answer is no, and you may be wondering if this is cost effective.It is not.If you already own a riveter, here is the cost breakdown.
You built your own!I wouldn't expect anything different.Thanks for the tip.With three kids in their 20's and a large back yard, I am always looking for outside games to play when they are home.This looks like a lot of fun.
Corn Hole is a must have, but we also found a frisbee game called Polish Horseshoes that you need to check out.
Polish Horseshes is like my kind of game.Maybe I should forget about Kan Jam.
The game is called the fresbees version of bags/cornhole.The name and color of the goals could be very creative.
You all keep talking about this hole.This is the first time I have heard of this game.
I play pickup games occasionally.Those look great!A friend of mine is going to school in Norway and I will suggest them to him.Modification of the design would make them easy to breakdown and store almost completely flat.
What a great game.I will have to tell our son about it.I can't throw a Frisbee because my life depends on it.They always wind up to my right or almost behind me.Hmm...If I could make a point, would I stand sideways?Do you think?I searched for Cornhole because I didn't know what it was.Their association is their own!Who knew?There is a corn hole.
My husband's family would love this game.I have never heard of Corn Hole, but one of my BILs made his own ladderball sets.The boys make their own rules to challenge each other.
I used two plastic trash cans to make my own set.The 3′′x16′′ hole in the side of each is cut out by cutting the bottom out.
