Freestyle Chat / Re: Freestyle's future?

I'm 40, I'm not going to start football freestyle although I can just about pull off an atw.  If people outside of 'the community' weren't interested none of you would ever do an LP. 

I get a lot of people talking to me about my son being signed to a team, I don't hear 'no use on the pitch' so much.  I tell them it's a different discipline, that you wouldn't expect a sprinter to run a marathon (or vice versa) just because they use the same equipment. Some people understand and some don't.

Really good question.

I think the mainstream will chew it up and spit it out, adverts, Christiano Ronaldo iPad games etc. the way it does with these things, and the hardcore will carry on pushing it forward regardless.  It'll drift in and out of fashion, like for instance skateboarding, but it'll always be there to the people that matter.

Also, as you scoop it up you need to bend your knee a little.  That straight leg that you do looks unbalanced (like you may fall over) and ugly.  I don't freestyle so you can count me in the 98%, and if any of the actual freestylers think this advice is incorrect then say so, it's just my opinion.  I just watch a lot of freestyle.

I'll tell you what though; it won't help you on the pitch!
