I have some friends who think its cool, but others are VERY skeptical and frankly jealous, and they just say retarded things about it.. not that i take notice of them :biggrin:
what about u guys? do people at school know about your FS etc? coz TF told me nobody at his school knows about his freestyle which is crazy :dontknow:
-
Yeah man, my friends always tell me the same old lame fuckin thing which is U CANT DO THAT IN A MATCH
And when i wanna do sits or somethin, they start tell in me "you think your M.A.D?"
And when i do uppers they keep o tellin me your tricks arent good even your vids( as if i have one :S) then i tell them i think im good for my level then all of them are like, let me bring M.A.D to show you what really freestyle is, and i tell them as if he's the best freestyler in the world and igonre them :down:
All the kids in school know about my freestyle and make fun of me
PS they cant juggle more than 10 times :saywhat:
-
At first people thought it was stupid and like tried to take the mick cause thats all I did and stuff. But now I have been on TV and stuff they have all shut up. Sometimes people say Oli Hayes Football Freestyler and shit like that but in a good way and I just laugh at them. But everyone in my school knows I do it and now I have the fittest girl in the school aswell so they can be jelous all they want haha yeah boi!
-
Ahhh... yeh same problem dude...
My family are really encouraging especially my dad.. theyve got no problem...
All of the lads are really cool with it... however some of the girls are different...
but like the last time i fsed in skool was like when i could only do 1 atw... maybe the reaction would be much differnt nowadays...
Oh.. and my best mate. (whos a girl) she faincies john farnworth so...
-
Yeah guys my family also encourage me a lot and regarding my friends they are totally jealous while some aren't !! At school i guess everybody knows am a freestyler and whenever i get the chance i do some tricks and get fame+fans :biggrin:
-
My Mum dosen't get it at all. I show her some tricks like atw and that and she's just asks why.
My close mates don't like it because we all play football quite seriously and we all compete to be better than each other so now that I can totally show them up with fs is good. One of my mates, when I first showed him atw he was like yeah I can do that, then he tried and was no where near it.
-
oh moreorless the same here!!
mum doesent seem to have much intereest and I she doesent mind....my dad goes crazy with creative things such as stuff sean can do and I do the same and he really loves it!!!but If i show him a tatw-amatw nt....or a 10 move combo then he doesent seem to like it tht much
And I have lots of friends who love soccer...and those are one of my best friends...and they say its really cool what I do, some of them have a basic knowledge of freestyle.....and I dont suck at match at all!!im in a provintial soccer youth team, so I dont have the problem of my friends saying:cool but I wanna see u on pitch....because they know tht I can play well soccer!!
But then u have those ignorants who never saw me playing soccer and say: I BET U SUCK AT PITCH!! and I just dont give a fuck and if I have a chance I kick their ass till they must go to the hospital
:cheers:

I don't know about any who dislikes fs except my former coach (who sucks). When i did tatw he said: "let me show you something" to embarras my skill and tried to demonstrate that tatw is worthless in a game by shooting at the goal from long distanse but he missed :rolleyes: . Every one else think it's cool.

hahahahaha what a retard
-
my parent´s don´t say that much about it...
most of my friends like it and deny me bcus i earn money with football :cheers:
-
after reading the posts i guess its the same for most of us. when people see me freestyling i normally get two responses. they either completely ignore it like i'm doing nothing special at all or they think that its the most incredible thing they've ever seen. i have had a few people who question if i'm any good at playing actual football, but there are only like 2 or 3 people at my school who play at the same level of players as i.
-
A few friends try to be cocky about it and I just play the money card showing I can earn more per hour than their mom and dad together. Most have only been cocky once then after playing that card I've never heard anything again. Anyway most friends think it's really cool of course but most are probably bored cus most often they've only see me do lower. But they deffinately like it, most of them.
-
Really good actually.
My friends are very good with it, i even got one started on an non serious basis, can do htw,cross and atw.
My fam is also good with it. so there are no problems for me.
-
well i got some problems with freestyle with m yfamily like they are discouraging me my prantes
saying all time quit it so now i freestyle without they know and they force me to do martial arts which i hate
they don't understand me :dontknow:
also some of my friend sthinks it's cool just few ones and the rest say why even freestyle stupid one day they will know why
and when they say u wont do that in match i say why even play a match xD
these problems that i hav ein freestyle sucks espicially family ones coz i can't get good fast or practise when i feel want to
-
my friends like it and support me, so does my family. :)
when friends ask me how i've learned this I say to them that: practise is everything and everybody can learn it, so start with it ;),.. they say it's bullshit and claims i have a gift from God . :biggrin:
i've heard about a guy in a school in my town that was cocky about doing neckstall and atw, my friends showed him a vid of mine and after 30 seconds he walked away and didn't show up again that day :biggrin:
-
my family loves it and only a few close friends know about it
-
Oli how you make so much money?
-
Oli how you make so much money?
I've had some LP that payed that much :dontknow: it's not like I was talking about monthly wage but hour wage
+ What I earn is bum wage compared to what some freestylers take for a performance

and just do annoying things like come round while im training and kick the ball away
also i passionatly HATE people who like watch one of my vids and say "stop showing off"
at school the next day
family are awesome they love it and are very supportive in respect to gettin me to LP's and stuff

Personally I dont think you should have to keep them seperate, like if they dont respect you then its their problem, but if it works for you cool man.
And lol
-
meh... my friends are blown away by freestyle, they're not retarded peeps who say you can't do that in a match etc... they love it and support fs. all my family encourage me to fs except for my mom. she says it's impressive and everything but I should concentrate on having a "successful" future. :rolleyes:
I don't blame her, but I'll keep practicing to be the best I can be at fs :thumbsup:
-
a friend dat doesnt respect wat u love isnt a friend. so that only leaves the ppl that i call my friends with good attitude.
family thought it was pointless crap 4 a wile. untill i got an LP wich gave me a heap of shit nd cash. since then they tell ppl check out my channel :biggrin:
anyway, i FS 4 me not 4 others. after seeing wat i have acheived i feel happy. idc if ppl dont feel happy. so fuk u cunts who dont repect wat i love doing
-
Most of my mates are cool with it and support me, my family love it and they love to see my videos :biggrin:
a few people at school say thats its pointless and they think its stupiid that i practice everyday but they arent my mates so idc
-
my friends like it and support me, so does my family. :)

When my dad was younger, he had juggling as a hobby and performed at night clubs and such so he thinks it's fun that I'm also doing something that's a bit simular. My mum doesn't know what I'm doing and doesn't really care.
My friends don't know at all, freestyle is my way out of school and friends so I can relax and do what I like.
-
idk, everytime i show my skill, in school, or somewhere they ask me the like it, except some kids that are jealous but i don't give a fuck...
-
My family has more like a "whatever" attitude but most of my friends support me with freestyle.
-
My mother hates when I juggle inside the house, which I do all the time. She sends me on my room to juggle instead.
My friends which play normal soccer says exactly the same to me as many others in here writes. "You can't use that in a match" they say. Probably jealous :biggrin: When I juggle at school many pupils says that I'm trying to be cool, but I just do a thing I love..Freestyle. I'm freestyling with a friend too btw..
-
Most of my friends think its amazing and couldn't believe that I could do any of it!I didnt really tell/show anyone outsde my close friends/family till my first video in April(which is hilariously shit looking back on it!).
family love all the video and think it great. But thats mostly because i show pretty much anything cool looking in my travelling/freestyle around the world videos.if it was just freestyle they wouldnt like it as much.
My bro was amazed to see RBSS on the tv and emailed me misprononcing every fsers name!
when i used to busk back home or when making videos i got the odd person saying "youre shit" but some watch and applaud or jokingly throw money at me.

do you get to keep the money?
-
Many of my friends think it's cool, but they dont really said it much. They just make fun of me and stuff. When they see me they are like: "Yoo, whats up freestyler, can you do the "aokwr"?" (They make fun of the tricks like atw and stuff, they think it sounds stupid)
I dont really care, they can think what they ´think. They always say that i cant use it on the pitch, and i dont even play soccer anymore. I try to explain what fs are, and there is a huge different between fs and soccer. They dont get it, they just makes fun of me. I just say that this is my thing, why can't you accept that? I want to make money on it, and if i one day get really good, i can make more money than you do on something you hate doing. And i love fs, so for me it's the best job ever. I get all the fun. There are just like: "tssch, but we dont have to do something over and over again, doing the same thing". Then i say: "Just like your mom, eh?" And then they stop saying these kind of things:P
My parents think it's cool but they dont see a future in it, cus they dont really know what it is. And they dont think you can make lots of money on it, and they think that it's just a hoppy for me, and soon i'll get another one.

yes i do!

im with TF on this one... i never fs when im with friends, i think thats just too obsessed... i freestyle on my own when im bored (or at meets), but the rest of my life has to be social or fun in other ways...
as much as i love freestyle its just a hobby, not my life =)
-
my mom doesnt care if i freestyle as long as its not inside(which she catches me doing uppers in my room and she gets pissed) my dad didnt get it at first, and was like u cant do that in a game y practice, but after the redbull comp and my friend going to brazil for the red bull comp he is like OH this shits for real, so he doesnt encourage but he doesnt say stupid shit ither
my friedn got into it but hes a lazy arse and sucks, and never practice so he still sucks, but meh. i chill with freestylers so obvi they support it. the only thing is i wanna join a freestyle team but my rents are all sceptical about siging a contract and shit but i'm 19 and they said i coudl do watever so i'm going to :rockit:
ne ways nice thread this is a pretty big topic for most,, (
ANIMO i feal bad for u, good luck witht that..
-
My Friends Support Me All The Way And Mostly Everyone In The School Knows Who I Am And What I Do :rockit:
-
Macca is true about the friends thing. I think FS is my life though, I always think about it and even when my girlfriends round I have youtube on with the latest FS video... But friends also in my world appreciate and respect my passion for what I do but I am different around them than I used to be before freestyle. My confidence has built up and for people who have met me I am mentaller now than even and when I am with friends its a different league also. I don't drink either and most of my friends do so when I am parties I have to be extra mentaller to make people mental with me. Cause I am cool....
-

Nuff said. Its the same for me. I freestyle cuz its fun and to better myself, so why the hell should I care what retarded people who can't juggle think?
-
frnds r impressed but not supportive, umm....
-
my little brother can do an atw out from footstall, he's 10 :P
-
i don't really talk so much about my fs'ing with my friends, only when they ask about it of course and mostly they got no problem with it, just think it's a cool unusually hobby or smth. even some friends supports me to get better and start earning big money (H) :biggrin:
-
they like it and think im really good at what i do, but they dont realize where it can lead you to
-
Many of you guys are really lucky, having your friends pay attention to your freestyle, and your parents to support you. I am, on the other hand, not so. The other thing my parents tell me about FS is that :" Don't do that more than 45 min -1 h each day because you gotta do good at school" although I've never do bad at school in my whole schooling career.
When you are performing and people go watch you, that's a great thing. But people here in Washington don't really gives a sh!t about it. When I went to Seattle to perform and did several lps there, nobody even care to watch. Even sole juggles and a half minute upper combo couldn't impress them.
In several words: You guys are better compared to me in terms of support.

Same. I've only shown freestyle to my close friends, but it'd be like a 20 second show off without my headband, meaning - they weren't impressed. xD
-
my friends says 'why are yoy doing that when u aren´t good at the pitch', then i say 'lets play 1 vs 1 (in a little street pitch)' then they say okay and i always beat them 5-0 with alot of pannas and tricks, and everyone are just like 'WTF', but they still think i suck to football, lol..

same here maaca :thumbsup:
-
since im taking a year off after finishin high school i can do w. e . i want so i freestyle often. my parents are tellng me to go to skool and quit that shit, even though im taking a YEAR off. i freestyle on a bussy intersection so when ppl see me the usual questions are "do u play for a club" , or " do u know this guys at kennedy & eglinton" meaning avalos who lives close to me and freestyles even closer. friends dont really mind 1 or another might say that i belong in a circus, or im still beter than u at regular soccer. im like ok :thumbsup: u do that
-
my mum doesnt encourage me atall and i dont have many mates that fs maybe one
but i have the dedication so i will keep going (Y)
-
Some of my friends like it but others see it as pointless and sometimes mock it as a sport, etc. :cursing:
My Family generally like it although my dad does not take much interest unless its something very creative
-
My dad at first said it was a waste of time and said i was wasting time and energy.
it wasnt until i came out on tv and had my first lp that he came around
now hes cool with it, although it took a while
my friends say im the master and could do everything, wich i can cuz the consider everything gay little flick ups and simple stuff, they dont know about difficult stuff like nts and shit
-
my friends support me and always tell to me good things because they know that freestyle is seperated from footbal, .My parents dont care much, someties dad asks"how it goes"and I dont got problems with random football maniacs, beacuse I always play alone, ahmmm sometimes random old good granny say"ooooo its cold better go back to home" but its not connected with freestyle, though.
-
My parents are cool with it..
About friends, I agree with TF.

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: Poor you, I have quite good support, but I quite suck at freestyle, I'm just lucky
-
They just think I like practicing tricks I see on the internet soemtimes. And they have no problem with that. I guess if I did it everyday, they would have other thoughts about it ... Unless I earned money on it or something. Sad how almost everything's about money nowadays (not that I'm used to times when there wasn't).
-
My parents and friends support me, but acquaintances and teammates-not so much. Strangers love it, but are only really impressed when I do like a CO 360 or an Matw or Tatw. I told one of my teammates that I had a Youtube account with my freestyle on it, and he's like, "Bull shit!" :argue: :cursing: I still have yet to show him my channel, he's going to be really surprised! :thumbsup:
-
my parents are pretty supportive i suppose
they don't understand it that much
but they get really impressed with my vids
my mates think is a waste of time but i don't give a shit
they say i am obsessed
lol its prob true but oh well
fs is my lyf
these guys at school are lyk why wud u do that
but its just cos they are jealous
so i just laugh
:)
