Mirko the mirkin

[L_I_S]

So after seeing his insane video, I was wondering if there was any footage of him before he became incredibly hardcore. The first time I actually heard of him was in that video with kevin. It's like he just appeared into the freestyle world out of thin air.
Any back story to this guy?

i remember seeing ages ago videos from that kitchen place he films in.. ill see if i can find it again

  edit: was just the first video on his yt channel i think.. and according to the description thats his first video

just go on to his account and watch his older videos....what you will see is he used to only be strong in matw nt, then he heavily trained his weak leg.

Yea but I want to know where he was before he was only good at matw nt
I don't remember seeing him at any meets or anything like that.

I started freestyle in the beginning of the summer 2007... but was only an hobby, just ronaldinho tricks and shit like that And I didnt want to make videos because I thought it wouldnt be serious ahahah in summer 2008 i went to the RBSS and was my first meet with others freestylers and i was like:  DomyBD and Gunther really shocked me... so i decide to training way more harder to become one of the bests... and one year later i made my first video but was nothing special i think but was good...

Haha..cool story man. I hope to meet you some day

I guess I have my answer from the man himself. This thread can be locked if the mods want to lock it.
Thanks!

Oh, there was one more thing I wanted to ask. You seem to have a lot of energy to keep freestyling for hours. Did you do another sport before freestyle that has helped you with stamina?

I played soccer for five years at good levels but my physical skills were not great I was just technically good and i think that helped me a lot in the begininng in freestyle. With training i improved so much my stamina, strenght and speed...

NOOOO!!!Dont watch that video!!! xD

[L_I_S]

All from freestyle
Well done.

I watched the video :P ..it was good to see that you've come such a long way.
