I had to watch as soon as I recognized the song title! Great combos, but I think you get a bit greedy with some of them ;)

General Chat / Re: Joe Rogan Questions Everything
« on: Aug 07, 2013, 04:29: AM »Easiest way to find out would be to watch.They're over 40 minutes long, you can't expect us to watch a 40 minute video just to see what you're posting.
However, a brief summary of the shows subject matter is Joe researches different myths and conspiracy theories to see if there is any truth in the matter. The 2 posted are on whether or not Bigfoot exists and whether the military can control the weather to use as a weapon.
Anyway, why is Joe Rogan doing this though? What has he got to do with this? Surely there's an abundance of US celebrities that would be better suited for this sort of show.

At least post a rebuttal to why you think the exact opposite of me. I took the time and wrote it out so it would be easy to reply to as well.
Forgot to add I wish everyone the best with their freestyle and hopefully see you in Prague next week. Peace!Well that wasn't very courteous. I replied right now because I saw that you were on..it 3am over here but I thought it would be rude not to reply to your post.

I don't know how else to explain my self. But because I like you, I will repeat what I said and answer you as well.
I'll put in it order of your post.
1. It's not meant to be an attack on you, only your values on how you see freestyle and where/how it should grow and all that. Just because I like some things about you doesn't mean I can't talk about my values and how they're completely opposite to yours and why I think my way is the best way.
2. The problem was the division. What's better, 1 forum with 50 posts a day or two with 25 posts a day? Anyone who comes to a forum and sees the latter will feel that there's no one around and then they drop off causing the number to drop.
I don't mind freestyle growing, I just don't want to see freestyle as a whole cater to non-freestyles first just because they're the lowest common denominator. I also don't want freestylers to be associated with casuals, which is what your videos are actually catered too, not people who actually want to learn, it's just the flava of the month to them. If I recall correctly you listen to rap music, right? What if you said I like rap music and the first thing to jump into my head was 'Oh, he's into guys like lil Wayne'. He caters to the lowest common denominator too and for that most people may think lil Wayne when you think rap. Same with freestyle and how skill will be seen. I don't think I worded that last part correctly but I think my message still comes across.
As I mentioned in the beginning of this post, it's not meant to be personal attack. Surely you've had people disagree with your opinion/values etc before? This is just an extreme case.
I just finished watching the second video that you claim is for both freestylers and non freestylers. Bullshit. Not saying I didn't enjoy it, but that's definitely not catering to freestylers just because you showed the difficult or best parts of a battle. Eurobac battles, Skora's poorly edited videos, 20 second videos involving 1 move with super slow mo, Come my lady, come come, my lady..those are videos for freestylers by freestylers without even giving a shit about non-freestylers. To say this is a hybrid complete crap. Short cut offs are for those that don't have the attention span to watch a 20 second clip without being distracted or bored, and I'm pretty sure there weren't any 20+ second clips, because that would make people bored. A FREESTYLE clip for 30 seconds is too boring for people.
You didn't even consider putting the final video in, right? That would've made the casuals bored and freestylers know where to find the vids if they wanted.

I am just trying to bridge the gap between 'us and them', times are changing and I don't see why you wouldn't want new people to discover freestyle. Even if they get bored of it after 2 weeks.3. I had to quote this part as this is my biggest problem. The gap between us and them should always be there. To be associated with the people who don't have any form of will power and dedicated to what they love yet they get to call themselves freestylers? I don't understand how any freestyler could be happy with this. Times only changing because it's being fueled to change.

Freestyle Chat / Re: New BF comp?!
« on: Aug 06, 2013, 04:50: PM »Hm, I seriously doubt that's a good format. The best format is still qualification -> top 8/16/whatever depending on the number of competitors battles -> final battle. Can't beat that hahahaThis doesn't work unless there are enough people that already want to be in a competition and will definitely make a video..which we know is probably not going to happen.
The comp has to stay open so it allows people to drop out(which, lets face it, is inevitable). Make it just one video. Then judges vote out of all of them which they think deserves to win. This way nothing can go wrong unless only 3 people make videos then it'll still work out, but it won't really mean much to defeat 2 people.
