A lot of people have a different opinion on what "style" actually is.

1) The cleanness, smoothness, speed, whether you make it look easy or not, if you struggle to keep the combo going etc.
For me, good examples for good style would be Rocco, Linder, Lindroth, Artes, Zegan, Kamalio, etc.

2) The other "kind" of style is what kind of freestyle you do, or what characterizes you. For example, "freestyleforlife" names Séan. This would mean he likes Séan's "show, performance-orientated" style? Or another example is what Andrew mentioned: That he does cross-ahtatw nt very high, or that he moves around a lot. This is more a thing of opinion, some people like Séan's style, which includes a little of dance, others like other kind of styles.

For me these are two different types of style, and some people always confuse this.

i totally agree with you sven

Matte linder. A lot of freestylers have sick styles, but Matte just got a magic touch lol

Sven's spot on.  I'm kinda weird about style and sometimes I actually appreciate the more robotic style.  It's not to see someone pull off moves super clean, well balanced, etc.

OK, then the choice again:
1)Smoothness, cleanness: Rocco, Skora
2)Kind of freestyle: Artes, Sven.

Andrew's style is completely OK imo.

My favorites are Rocco, FX, Palle & and anybody else who have great control, good technique and executes all tricks clean

Who said otherwise?

Wtf is so good about Henderson's and Artes' style? Every time I see a comment about it I assume people are just being encouraging but after going through this thread, it seems that I'm completely wrong about this. I'd give both 6.5/10 at most.
Big and high/hard touches look bad and Artes just has the typical Russian style but has managed to do it in a relaxed manner. What am I not seeing?

Agreed, too many people misuse some words/phrases, another one is "clean" or more often "unclean". Some tricks can't be unclean, they can only be badly or not properly executed.

I would like to add another "definition" of style though. Apart from style as trick execution (1) and style as trick style (2) which Sven already mentioned, there's also style as in flava/charisma/personality/SWAG!.
