Are you located in Bangladesh? I'm not really sure if we can help you here. There are plenty of Brazilian channels that broadcast Brazilian league matches. Goltv in the USA still has the broadcast rights.

Freestyle Chat / Re: North American Freestyle Championships Announced
« on: Oct 19, 2013, 09:43: AM »Canada and US.
Canada, USA, and Mexico make up the main 3 countries of North America. However, many people extend the definition of North America to those 3 countries plus Central America and the Carribbean.
Like I said, I'd just use CONCACAF from football as the model, but it's up to Steve. I haven't heard back from him about it.

I'd imagine anyone from North and Central America could enter. I will have to clarify with Steve to be sure. However, it might be easiest to just use the same system as FIFA, but just call it a different name. If they are a CONCACAF nation in FIFA, they should be considered a North American participant as far as this competition goes.

Freestyle Chat / North American Freestyle Championships Announced
« on: Oct 12, 2013, 03:34: AM »
Steve Elias has just announced there will be a North American Championship held in Kitchener, Ontario this December. It will be an F3 sanctioned competition, and he said that the winner will most likely be added to the F3 World Tour next year. All talk, discussion, and questions about this event should be made here. Details are few and far between at the moment, but this is what I got. Steve told me he would be giving me more information as they get more things finalized.
Who is interested in competing? Any potential favorites to win?

Freestyle Chat / Re: How does MichRyc not win most comps?
« on: Oct 01, 2013, 06:09: AM »I feel like a prick for saying this, but Andrew isn't one of the best 3 for me. Yeah, he does hard tricks, but he always looks like he's chasing the ball and his style is too rigid... no fluidity. I'm under the belief that the best freestylers look smooth when they freestyle. The best make the hardest stuff look easy and stylish. Andrew is always stretching. Yeah, his moves are hard as hell but his freestyle doesn't look all that great.
I can actually see what you are saying there, but I'd disagree with him not really being top 3. He keeps winning competitions for a reason. I think part of the reason he looks like this is his energy is always so high. It's very difficult to be a high energy freestyler and always be in control 100% of the time. Look at someone like Sean or Szymo as well. They are always pushing their own limitations in their styles which causes them to occasionally be out of control and even drop in competitions. Then you got people like Michryc that are smooth, calm, and controlled. Some would argue that he doesn't push his own limitations enough. I am not one of them. I just think he has his own style. I personally think there is about a top 10 that is interchangeable. There are just far too many different styles to choose from to pick 1 absolute best freestyler for me. It's just too difficult to really judge.

« on: Sep 25, 2013, 02:22: AM »Just look at the ratings, especially in more individual sports like boxing or even basketball where less players are involved. Miami Heat, Lakers, Boston, Mayweather, and Mike Tyson all drew the best ratings of all time because of their superior level and domination. People love the story of the underdog and the ratings show exactly that. What you prefer personally is your opinion, but the numbers don't lie when it comes to my comment.
One major problem with this, all of those sports you mentioned there is a clear objective, and it makes it obvious whom is better. No one fights Mayweather, and just a judge, I like his style better. No, Mayweather wins by KO, TKO, or UD every single time, because it's obvious he outboxes his opponent. In freestyle, it's different.
If there has been a top dog in recent times, it's been Andrew Henderson. He's been the most consistent performer in freestyle competitions in recent times. He's won several majors as well. I'd actually say he's the most equipped to be dominant, but even he cannot win everything. He's extremely well rounded, has many super difficult tricks, has a great flow, and he brings personality to his performances. There however are more than a few guys capable of beating AH on a given day, and that's why he isn't completely dominant. The same would go for Michryc or any other top freestyler.

Here's why. There are so many phenomenal freestylers out there at the moment. Who is to say that Michryc is better than Andrew Henderson, Szymo, Luki, Tokura, etc. outright? The fact is, you might like him better, but he's not outright better than any of them. There currently is a top 10 or so that is almost interchangeable, and they are all fucking amazing. The other reason is judging whom is the best freestyler is based purely out of opinion. This isn't football where one team will score more goals than the other. It's judged based on opinions. You think Michryc is the best. Maybe I think Szymo is the best or someone else. Neither of us are necessarily right or wrong.
