If the disc is still in the air, but out of bounds, can I jump out (feet leave the ground will still in-bounds) catch the disc and throw it back in, while in mid-air, but land outside after the throw?

Someone said this isn't legal.

What's the verdict?

Hey ppgear,

You most definitely can do what you described, and it has a name:

Rarely seen, but always amazing.

Nice!

Is it true that when my feet leave the ground, they must leave from in-bounds? Or can I already be completely out of bounds and still save it?

Yes, your feet have to both be in-bounds when you jump to save it.
