Sorry, i meant Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, confused the author with another book on my desk by accident, How to win Friends and Influence people by Dale Carnegie, both are great reads in self development

Interesting opinions
I mean to cause no offence to anyone by this, this isn't an attack from a bitter ex freestyler, i still love and admire the sport and i usually try my best to posses and optimistic and progressive opinion on everything
I've been a keen fan and participant in the sport for over 5 years now, however i personally believe to compare the scene now to the scene a few years back would be ludacris, I really feel as if Freestyle is now a Stagnating sport
If we look at the UK game, i've never seen such a prosperous scene, filled with people who had a genuine passion and intrinsic motivation, crumble in the fashion it did
I don't think it is a quality that's the problem, in this country, there are remarkable people like Ethan, Andrew, TF and Budz who have achieved staggering heights in the sport, however in terms of quantity the entire scene is depleated
There was once a time where 2 new freestylers was taking up the sport every month, whereas now, 2 seem to be leaving every month
I don't think UK is the only one this can be applied too, i do have a rather ethnocentric knowledge, however, from what i do know, all the scenes (Except russia) seem to be stagnating, there seems to be more and more freestylers leaving the scene, and fewer and fewer joining the scene
Can I just point out by saying before concluding, i love everyone in the scene and the genius freestyle is, however I don't see Freestyle being anything like Parkour, Skateboarding or Break dance, I think these are thing's that have a genuine long lasting life span, however the Freestyle Scene seems to be more of a "Fad", i'm not saying it will be non-existent in a few years time, however i do believe freestyle is more of a craze, than an actual rooted sport
I think personally, Freestyle has had it's peak and it is slowly a sinking ship
I know i will get attacked by people for saying this, however im not saying this from a "Fixed mindset" point of view, i believe im just being a realist and a rationalist
PS, I genuinely hope im proved wrong, i really hope I do live to regret this post and see it at the X-Games and/or Olympics

Adi, can you set this up as a weekly feature? 'Guess the queer' could rival Beyond Football TV one day

Freestyle Chat / Freestyle's future?
« on: Dec 09, 2011, 09:25: AM »
Just wondering where do you see freestyle in 10 years time? huge? More commercial? Still underground? Smaller? Bigger? Or even dead or non-existent maybe?
Would love too see where you see yourselves going with it also? what are you're long term goals? do you want it as a full time profession or aiming to win any competitions? have any of yous set some retirement dates or plan on doing this as long as you can think?
Interested in all you're opinions
