Each issue there are also numerous contributors that provide articles, illustrations and pictures.
     
 

The magazine is not put out by a massive publishing conglomerate which sees ultimate frisbee as another market. We who work on the magazine and contribute are just people who play ultimate, and see an opportunity to become more involved in our beloved sport.

We're the people you play against at tournaments; we win games and lose them; we laugh; we cry; ultimate has become a part of us.
If you figure that you want play a part in the constantly evolving entity that is Chasing Plastic Magazine, just let us know.

 
     
And what's the story behind it?  
       
 

Fat Tony in Fernie, BC

It started with Eric and GWAC abandoning snowsliding photography on the powder-covered hills of Lake Louise in order to pursue some ultimate in Winnipeg with Doc Rob. While immersing deeply into the touring scene, the idea began to take shape. Late in the fall of 2000, after mentally and physically recovering from an especially busy season, relaxation finally faded into ultimate jonesing. Opportunities very opportunely presented themselves, gainful employment was terminated, and the formidable helm of Publisher was donned. Leaning on experience and contacts from snowboarding photojournalism, as well as much research, time, and investment, along with several very able-bodied assistants, plus the helping hands and support of friends, family, and ulti crews everywhere, Chasing Plastic Magazine was launched, and pushed down the inevitable road to world domination…er, I mean down the path to becoming a staple for the knowledge-hungry ultimate frisbee masses.

So now you know the story, and can impress team mates with this entirely inconsequential bit of trivia.
