USA- Angelo :017: No offense to Angelo, but we didn't have qualifiers so I'm not sure what happened...

Australia- L_I_S

Angelo was just chosen by Red Bull to represent the USA, because he won the previous RBSS. Red Bull USA does not see RBSS as a worthwhile promotion. That's why the 2 previous tournaments were half assed as well. Red Bull USA's opinion probably won't change anytime soon unless freestyle can become more marketable in the US. This is highly unlikely since soccer isn't that big in the US.
No one should be criticizing Angelo for getting this opportunity. It's somewhat unfair that there wasn't a competition for the other guys, but Angelo had nothing to do with that. He will most likely do better than most American freestylers. He's a fairly good performer and will show to the crowd. This should help him some.

Its a mixture of popularity of soccer and the need to promote the brand. RB india needs good promotion. RB USA doesnt, not atleast through freestyle.

Football is worse in India based on how good our national teams are, but is it less popular? I know cricket is the main sport in India, but I'm guessing that you don't have as many sports over football like in the USA. What are the top 3 most popular sports in India. In America, it's American football, basketball, and baseball. Some people claim ice hockey is more popular as well, but this isn't true. We also still have ignorant assholes that openly criticize football claiming it's boring or a soft sport. For the most part, freestyle is successful in the countries where football is most popular. It's got a long way to improve in both of our countries, but I do think it's more popular in India than the USA.

top 3 sports in India
1. cricket
2. cricket
3. cricket
people here have stpped thinking beyond cricket football is popular but NOT PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL no one knows the club names or anything... even junior level cricket is more famous than football... people don't even respect those kids or guys who play football they are like " man football is waste of time it's not gonna help you in any ways play cricket" :p
the boards and athourities are so stupid that they don't even invest in it
and the MOST STUPIDEST THING OF THEM ALL IS THAT HOCKEY IS STILL THE NATIONAL SPORT EVEN THOUGH NO MATCHES EVER HAPPEN :P :lol_hitting: :lol_hitting:
fucking dumbass stupid idiots :p
but i'm happy that freestyle is better than football in India... i guess the same for US as well..

Freestyle is well below football in the US. There are very few people in America that know what freestyle is. Most of them would just say you are playing soccer. Pretty much only the freestyle community and some footballers that like freestyle know what it is.
I guess what it is actually happening is Red Bull believes it's other promotions in the US are more worthwhile that RBSS. They sponsor just about every extreme sports event in the US. They also hold events like soap box derbies and the Red Bull Flug Tag. RBSS just comes behind all of these, and it sells the least tickets of all of them.
Both of our countries are just in the same boat kind of as far as football's popularity goes. We have improved alot, because we have so many immigrants coming to the country. We still many people that are against it, and they say things like it's not a real sport or it's a waste of time too.

Germany - Dominik Kaiser. When a freestyler told me this, I couldn't believe it. Today I saw the second last picture:
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/daily-news-sports-photos-day-clint-dempsey-scores-goal-totthenham-europa-league-article-1.1164266 (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/daily-news-sports-photos-day-clint-dempsey-scores-goal-totthenham-europa-league-article-1.1164266)
That's just sad.
We hadn't RBSS in Germany this year, it looks like the agency with most money can send their freestyler to Italy.
So please don't think Germany can't present better freestyler!
Anyway, good luck Kaiser, you're really cool in person.
