A little bit about Tom and Steve
Tom Styles
Tom has been making videos and taking photographs of Ultimate since 2001, when as part of Block Stack and Two Smoking Hammers he produced a series of Ultimate videos covering events around the UK.
In 2004 Tom teamed up with Steve Giguere launching LookflyNews and led a team of reporters to Turku Finland where they covered the big games and provided instant news coverage from WUGC 2004.
Tom's reputation as 'The Voice of UK Ultimate' has led him into jobs commentating on the EUC 2007 DVD 'Flat Out', The Paganello 2008 DVD and also at the Nivea Sun Yellowave Beach Ultimate Event in Brighton for Sky Sports.
Tom is also an avid DJ. If you were rockin the final party in Turku or even at EUC 2007 in Southampton, he was the man rockin you.
Tom also enjoys all things computer and tech, writing about himself in the third person, music, and occasionally Golf.
Steve Giguere
Back in 2001 Steve Giguere started a small UK based Ultimate Company called Fly Ultimate selling hooded tops and value for money quick dry tops for teams in the UK while employed as an engineer for Motorola.
In 2002 he teamed up with Allison Baron to create the now thriving Ultimate Gear company Lookfly Ltd.
In 2004, with the invaluable help of 'The Voice of UK Ultimate' Tom Styles, he began a project to launch a news website for Ultimate Frisbee. As chief editor this website successfully covered the WUGC in Turku Finland, WCBU in Portugal and the 2005 Paganello before a disaster with his server meant a loss of the database and as a result the website. That year he also did the writing on the Paganello newsletter 'The Roar of the Talking Fish' with Tony Leonardo the author of the Ultimate History Book and the recently released book 'Ultimate - The Greatest Sport Ever Invented by Man'.
Steve represented Great Britain at the European Ultimate Championship in Southampton 2007, where he won Gold as part of the Masters Division
