We started playing disc golf a little over 10 years ago. It was a family gathering just in the backyard. you know, we've seen our cousins out there throwing some discs and they were new at the time as well, but they were, you know, they're throwing a, you know, couple hundred feet. So, we gave it a shot and I always thought it was very fascinating seeing how, you know, the different shapes of the discs and how it, you know, affects the aerodynamics and flight. So, we kind of were hooked from there. During our summers, just about every summer, we worked at our father's molding company, running assembly lines, running presses, operating grinders, and sorting parts. So, we just had a good idea of how the plastics industry worked. One day we were out playing and I just happened to have a rubber band in my pocket and for whatever reason, I just took that rubber band, I stretched it around the outside perimeter of a disc and just kind of seeing that was kind of cool to have a rubber outside edge. So the idea was to have like a grippy rubber surface that would you grab the chains for more performance advantage. We kind of showed our dad saying, "Hey, this is kind of a cool idea. We're wondering if this is something that could be made and uh he kind of was very for it and uh encouraged us to give it a shot." So he helped us get started. You know, he backed the the funding for the first mold and with the agreement that, you know, if we did started selling them, we pay back the mold and go from there. People really like these. They're they're a little bit more underststable than our current ones, but uh this is something when we first started it was a mold that we you know started doing gyro technology with and we took steps from there to improve upon it. It took about 3 years from the first mold to actually getting a finished product. So it was a lot of learning curves, you know, but it was very challenging and very rewarding at the same time. With the disc golf market being as strong as it was, things started selling and uh things just took off from there. What sets our discs apart...
