OK so what about Frankfurt in Germany? Very central in Europe, should be good weather, good city.. lots of freestylers will come for sure, and its got cheap ryanair flights there unlike Amsterdam..
also its a change from the usual meeting in Amsterdam which is a great city but me and some of the other guys who've been there twice are bored of..
This hostel looks great: http://www.frankfurt-hostel.com/ (http://www.frankfurt-hostel.com/)
only 20 euro per person per night, right in the city centre....
let me know ur opinions guys, or if anyone has any other suggestions, find a good hostel/campsite and post it here!
or do people still prefer Amsterdam? vote in the poll.. ONLY VOTE IF U INTEND TO COME TO THE MEETING
btw we wud have the meeting sometime in the middle of July.. gonna be dope!
-
is it closer to the end of July or more in the middle?
i may get a German visa and stop in Frankfurt on the way to Moscow
will you plz write the exact dates before april - so i have time to start working on the visa
-
Frankfurth sounds good!
-
Please keep it in Amsterdam.
My mum is from Holland so that's the reason she's letting me go (She's going also, Obvisously not staying in the Campsite though) :celebrate:
-
I found this hostel in Barcelona near the beach and city center... i think it looks nice and from what the second web page says shouln't be expensive.!!!
fancy better a sunny place were we could also go to th beach !!!

Why can't we vote more than twice? :wtf:
-
I will go to Frankfurt because it's not that far away!^^
And it's a beautiful town with nice locations! ;)
-
I think Frankfurt is a good alternative but voted amsterdam in the poll because of the following reasons :
- wanna see greason crying when meeting Abellah
- dutch people speak better english , ( i know from my own experience , so please dont try to convince me im wrong)
- amsterdam in general is easier to get around then any other city. Thats because its a capital , but tiny at the same time.
- Why change something that works fine

It should be in America. Since I live there everyone can come stay at my house! Except I live in a small house... So we can camp out on the lawn!
-
there was literally no point to that comment.. plz dont bother talkin shit on this topic coz im trying to figure out a serious issue of which city people who will actually come to the meeting prefer

If you want honesty I'd prefer Germany over Amsterdam, since it is has a shit ton of cheaper flights, the hostel is decent, and since people have been to amsterdam twice before a change of location would be nice for them. I voted for germany.
-
I am definately in for Amsterdam again. The campsite is perfect and I loved it last year. Gotta agree with iwontpostanymore. Why change something that works? Btw, I think its gonna be real big this year. Perhaps even bigger than last year.
-
Amsterdam qould be a very easy picks ince we already know it, it's a cool city, and the other reasons that make it close to freestyle scnene.
Change would be great because most people that already went to amsterdam will think twice before going again there.
the place should be fair enough but also an attractive location other wise peps loose interest in going cause boring.
I gave an alternative...
-
can i add a completely different idea...
LONDON!
london heathrow is the world's busiest airport, it is easy for absolutely everyone to get to. there are cheap hostels around the south bank (dan you stayed in one right?)
surprise surprise...the people speak really good english! in terms of pricing for food etc its about the same as amsterdam and for travel i remember in amsterdam i payed about 10 euros per day for the tram, in london u pay 8 pounds and can travel as much as u want.
as welll as this...in early july a freestyle tournament is being held with £2000 prize money.
the city is easy to get around and the night life is great.

great idea ! London is the cheapest also to fly to....ryanair ole ole !

If its in London, i am there!! LONDON!!!!!!!

For me this would be a great location and going to camp nou to :Woot_Emoticon:
I found this hostel in Barcelona near the beach and city center... i think it looks nice and from what the second web page says shouln't be expensive.!!!

I wouldn't be able to go to somewhere like Amsterdam as i can't afford it and i'm not good enough to consider it. But London would be great for me, i could deffinately travel down for a few days.
-
ethan london is sick in the summer but i dont think its a good city for a meet... i like how amsterdam is small
im still leaning towards amsterdam guys...
we already know the campsite, it has good cabins and its a nice location.
its such a good place to chill too..
fuckin hell this is such a hard decision i wish someone else wud just decide hahaha
-
If it was in Barcelona it would be stupid to have it there.
In July it's the hottest time of the year there so it would be 35 degrees + and if there was a heat wave it could be 40-45 degrees, You couldn't freestyle in that....
Also that time of year it would be awful expensive becuase of the tourist attractions.
Seriously I think it should be in Amsterdam, Why change it if it's working perfectly, I also don't agree with Laura if it were to be in Amsterdam again we wouldn't loose ''peeps''...$Freestyle has developed hugely since last Summer so more people will go and after all the video's of lasts years meeting i'm sure that would encourage more people to go..
...But that's just my opinion...

fuckin hell this is such a hard decision i wish someone else wud just decide hahaha
but we wouldnt have to move out of that southbank area? so in that sense it would be just as easy as amsterdam without even having to take public transport to the freestyle spots, we could just go to that park.
i haven't gone a'dam both years, just last years but i wont go again this year tbh if its there, would be kinda boring i think.
-
just gonna add one more thing...
16th july there is a freestyle competition in london with £2000 prize money.
-
I'd go to Frankfurt or London, both sound great. Seriously why are people always afraid of change? If you always stick to your habits, you're never going to experience new things? Of course we know Amsterdam by now, which is great, but wouldn't it be much more exciting to experience a whole new city? And seriously, once we say it would be Frankfurt, people will come, maybe not exactly the same people that would go to Amsterdam, but therefore other people would be there, maybe even more people from Poland?
-
I´m 100 % up for London !!:D its a very nice city
Barcelona could be great too..
but we should live at a campsite, its much better than hostel and hotels !
-
ye ethan london i would be well up for!
-
Ethan has a point we could take advantage of the competition being held in London...would make it much more intense and real cause eveyone could participate and would be real sick.
ryanair flie sthere to standsted with cheap rates, there are plenty of places were to freestyle too...
only q....weather.!
sven is also right if we never change.!!!
get crazy people!
i'm up for a change my vote is London or Barcelona, more london for the competition more barcelona for the crazines
-
now all the small uk fsers are like "yeah london!!!!" lol...
ethan i definetaly think london wud be sick.. only thing is i go there often and easily so i guess id like to visit somewhere new like frankfurt.. fuck it guys, shall we just say frankfurt?
-

nope, London
-
I think we should have it in London.
(no i don't live in London)
-
dan you know me i dont care about travelling (i went to every international meeting last year apart from SA) and i am saying genuinely that i feel ldn is a damn sick city for a fs meet. im not saying it cos its easy for me, i remember u mentioned it when u were here.
entirely up to u guys, bf is too limited...not enough people use it, lets take it over to facebook me thinks, seems like final decision is between london and frankfurt.
-
i'll come to meeting wherever it is, one of my wishes is to visit London, and this would be sick to have meeting in London, but how's weather there? I heard its really weird, like it changes in one day between rainy and sunny couple of times. But ofc you guys from England know better about it, it'll be shitty that weather destroys meeting thats happening once a year. :great:
-
Sven has a great point if you organize the meeting in germany more people from poland will come. I also dont like the fact that there is a competition in london. We allready have a competitive meeting in prague we should leave this summer meeting a fun meeting. Barcelona is also a bad idea since there is almost no freestyle scene in spain.
-
I won't come if it's in Amsterdam again, partly because I can't pretend to my mum that it's a completely different meeting and a new experience for me and she can't reply "Oh, but you went last year!" and also because of what everyone else has said about going to the same place again.
The UK has a big freestyle scene, although I can't compare it to any others, there's the park where the London meets happen which we could use and if that's not quite big enough there'll be loads of other places. To be fair, there weather is really inconsistent in the UK but there'll be indoor venues around I imagine.
Spain, as Max said, has no freestyle scene and I think the climate, especially in the Summer, will be too hot for freestyle.
I'm for London.
-
fuck it then lets do it in ITALY:!!!! mafia is here what else you want.! :97: :72:
-
i wouldn't mind going to amsterdam again, i think it's perfect and it works really well
on the other hand, from all the other places people mentioned, frankfurt seems to be the best option, since it's in the heart of europe and more eastern european freestylers afford to come, poland, romania, ukraine, russia etc
i voted for amsterdam though
-
Make it in London, that could be sick ! :great:
-
ok i am deciding amsterdam again after much deliberation!
i love it and theres weed there.. and its a cool city anyway, the campsite is sick and so is the freestyle spot in the city
plus theres abdullah and graeson meeting LOL
thats just me, if enough people want to have a meeting in London then u guys can organize it...
about more polish guys coming if its in Frankfurt.. who cares?
they will just stay together and speak in polish making their great jokes! :D
the whole point of the amsterdam meeting is for fun to come above the freestyle...
hope to see u all there again!
for now lets say the dates are... 14-18 July... mark it in your diaries niggaz!
-
I gotta say i don't really understand where this decision is coming from.
Judging from the discussion in this topic, and looking away from the poll -- i see a lot of good arguments for trying something new. Escpecially with the comp in England. Also the point of meeting maybe different freestylers.
Dan - i think you should elaborate a little more on this decision. I especially don't like this statement:
"ethan i definetaly think london wud be sick.. only thing is i go there often and easily so i guess id like to visit somewhere new like frankfurt"
1. The bold marked words isn't a good enough argument for going against London. This is a decision that affects all freestyler. Not just you :D
2. Italic: What happened to "somewhere new" (;
I'd just like to hear a little elaboration. I mean, theres weed everywhere.. not just amsterdam. And freestyle is gonna be fun anywhere! So how come we didn't choose a new place..
I haven't been to amsterdam, and i bet its been a fucking good two yrs, and thats why so many people want to go back -- and of course i understand that. So don't judge me because i haven't been there. Unfortunately i can't come this yr again due to the dates. Oh well..
Nevertheless, i bet it'll be a great meeting once again (:
-
From what I've read on facebook Linde already booked his tickets to Amsterdam(?)
Is there still an Amsterdam regardless of this?
-

If you want weed some much then plan a little trip and come in Greece..
-
Isn't the dates a little bit too early? Don't most people still have school around this time? What about doing the Amsterdam later, like last year? Maybe after the competition in London?
-
yes... i know that in germany school in bavaria goes untill the end of july... prague goes from the 10th until the 13th of augst... perhaps making it immediately before that date or at the beginning of august?
just an idea... let's make a date which fits best to most of the freestylers... it's just an personal opinion ;)
dan will make it happen the best anyway so no worries :great:

you could say that about all places.. just that amsterdam has the best and cheapest weed and it's legal. Plus lots of stuff to see like the red light district for example. Was really keen on going to amsterdam with some friends this summer but since i got busted a while back i doubt i could go. My hope would be to combine it with the fs meet then I might be aloud.
i'm quite a responsible person so obviously I would go to fs too, not for the weed. :great:

I'm very up for coming regardless of where it'll be. I wasn't in Amsterdam last year and neither the year before that. However, I do think that the people who went both years kind of "deserve" to go to a new place, if they want to. By deserve I mean that they've been loyal to freestyle by attending the meets and thus making the experience more enjoyable. But that's just my view on the case, I'll try to go regardless.
-
There is no point commenting new places, It's Amsterdam now, People have booked it so It's not gonna be changing. :great:
-
Dan, what are the dates? You said something different on Facebook
-
11th-15th
-
London was a terrible idea, barely any places to freestyle there lets be honest. We only have meets there cause its the capital and everyone can get a train there..
-
Dan, can you please create an event for this on beyondfootball.com? Log in and click under Applications -> Events. It lets you create events similar to Facebook. I really want to get a lot of these meetings on there. People can RSVP and discuss on there as well.
-

to be fair, in Amsterdam, we only used the square and the campsite so I don't think you need many places to freestyle. In London, there's the graffiti place or the usual one, other places near the London Eye, etc..

yeah which were right next to shops/restuarants which is ideal, London sucks for freestyle I don't really like training there.

i'm gonna come just for the comedy value macca, you know me me mate, bollocks to the freestyle! i'm there to laugh at anything and everything! :grin:

I think Frankfurt is a good alternative but voted amsterdam in the poll because of the following reasons :
- wanna see greason crying when meeting Abellah
- dutch people speak better english , ( i know from my own experience , so please dont try to convince me im wrong)
- amsterdam in general is easier to get around then any other city. Thats because its a capital , but tiny at the same time.
- Why change something that works fine
I agree with Daniel
-
anyone arriving on the 10th, too? Anyone leaving later than the 15th? THE DATES ARE 100% SAFE, RIGHT? :-)
Gotta book my flights asap, that's why I'm asking. Thanks! :great:
-
dates are 100% safe, its amsterdam 11-15th July Linde and Lasse and Reynoldz already booked and im bookin real soon.. ill probably arrive 11th then leave on the 15th to London for the comp thats on the 16th there
-
yayyy linde is going! please make some aweaweawesome videos. someone should capture the whole meet, not just the freestyle. all we get to see is mostly the combos. maybe if videos show the whole atmosphere more people will be tempted to come each time
-
fuck it then lets do it in ITALY:!!!! mafia is here what else you want.! :97: :72:
Footwork power!! :great:
-
I come from Germany Cologne! But good weather isn´t in Germany (Frankfurt)! And Frankfurt is very expensive... (Hotels, Eating...&&&) and Ryanair is cheap but Frankfurt Airport is very far from the City!
Better City is:
Barcelona :great: (Cheap Flying - Ryanair / good Hotels & Hostels / good weather / Beach.. &&&
Italy (good weather)
Warsaw-Poland (a lot of Freestyler)
-
:great: :great: :great: :great: :great: :great: :great: :great: :great:
Barcelona

sorry man its already decided, amsterdam again! :D

Ok! :great: Barcelona for the 2012 ;)
