Larry Imperiale is one of the most influential competitors of freestyle Frisbee, if not the most influential, who, incidentally, just added the 2001 World Masters Championship to his scroll of world titles this June in Boulder, making it seven Masters (over the age of thirty-five) World titles rather than six.
