Football Freestyle stars Billy Wingrove & Jeremy Lynch for Fifa Ballon D'or

In fact, there are a lot of people who would do much more freestyle moves and, in my opinion, more entertaining performance.
And, for example if I was a freestyler who would train freestyle only to performances etc, I would try to make my lp perfect, which means that I would do my best to entertain people. Let's be honest, they don't have any drops, smile every time, make duo performances, but if someone who's a real freestyler now,  would treat freestyle as a job, his performance could be greater than their ones.
I respect them, because they did a lot to promote our sport, but now should be a small change, because freestyle is developing very fast, I can compare it to computer's developement :P
And last, but not least - promotion. They have a great manager for sure and he does his job very well, if they perform in such event like this.
Guys, let's find managers and everything would be much easier! Anyway finding somebody good is really hard, but it's another, complicated topic.

1. at least in my case, I aint hatting or trippin... i totaly have respect for them cause it takes guts to get up there and have such cold blood to pull of a perfectly clean LP in u such an event

2. this doesn't mean though that just because they have such experience they can't respect what freestyle has become (at least for what male regards cause we girls can't say much). If i was a guys i would feel a bit offended cause after years they've been in the game and knowing they are big faces, they could at least get a bit more involved to give abeter idea of wht freestyle is.

3.corporate and magament playa big role, but if you know you have the managemnt that makes you a figure of the sport take the entire responsability and put togethr what corporate whant but also stay up to the game other wise you showing something that is not the whole thing.

ur freakin living out of freestyle doing nothing else you aint got excuse. you got all the time and resources to keep up and do things always better and not hide behind such appetizing curriculum.


sorry but with all do respect i think they should step it up

Luki, I agree on some part with your comment, but there are too many "ifs" in there. Indeed, if more freestylers did make the effort these two made into making their act a show and not just random tricks, then maybe Billy and Jeremy wouldn't be the ones on the stage and I already mentioned this in my post. But the sad truth is, there are barely a few who can do so at the moment and that's one of the main reasons Billy & Jeremy got the gig.

@Laura: You know when they'll step it up? When they start losing jobs because there are better acts out there, but until then, I don't see a reason for making dramatic changes. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I agree with Luki... I think there needs to be a better platform for finding freestylers for LPs.  We need agents/managers/promoters or just a platform where event planners can find freestylers to hire.

Think about it, everyone will reach the age of 18 or 20.  When you get this old, you need to make money.  I think this is where freestylers are loosing interest.  When you are in school, it's all good.  You don't need the money and you got the time.  When you get older, you have responsibilities and the only way you'll stay with it is if you can make money.  Some might still freestyle for fun, but come one... most will need to make money somehow.  You either make a decent amount of money from it or you're gonna lose interest soon enough.

I think having more money in the game would also bring in more new freestylers.  How nice would it be if you made a few hundred extra bucks a month freestyling when you are 15-16?

Anyways, all I'm trying to say is that there needs to be a better platform to get a paid gig.  Benbow and I were discussing this and wanted to make BF the first public platoform for freestylers to find these gigs.  I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do it.  We were thinking about doing just a freestyle team but that's not good enough.  That will still only limit the platform to those who are part of the BF team.  The team mwould also be restricted to a specific area.  What I ultimately want to do is create a map on BF which shows the locations of each freestyler that's good and interested in LPs.  Then the event planner can click on the location where they ned a freestyler and can watch videos and get contact info for that specific freestyler. 

Work in progress...

i still dont think theres many freestylers capable of putting on a better synchronized show for an event like that..
plus no offence to anyone but they dont want ugly weird lookin or lanky dudes.. billy and jeremy have a very PRO appearance and its clean-cut and marketable.. people just arent gonna replace them anytime soon for these corporate events planned by cunts

I think dantheman and lucaso etc have done much more for the sport than these two. billy and jeremy do stuff for themselves not freestylers, you can tell by the look on their face. i dont want to hear they did somthing for freestyle (not directly atleast). They want fame for themslves, so lets just give credit to the right guys and not turn these 2 into santas after all these years.
