I saw you posted on a video a few months ago that 'the video was great but it missed one thing..girls'. And i believe azun responded with an argument i entirely agree with. Why should you girls get more respect for achieving quite mediocre combos just because you are girls?
It's the same reason the EPL, NBA, etc are never mixed genders. Males have better body types to suit these sort of things. Of course both genders can do any thing they like/want but when it comes to the physical aspects, it's clear that males have the advantage. Hence why it would be unfair to put WNBA players in the NBA and why a mediocre combo would be a good achievement for females.

But one thing, the female average level is WAYYY lower than it could be due to them doing LPs and not 'needing' to push themselves. Like Billy Wingrove.

To answer the OP question, obviously it's more/smarter training. For example; When warming up, make sure you have your warm up goals. For me it's 10 htws before I move onto 10 hatws before I move onto 16 move combo etc. This will keep your average higher and when you want to try harder, you'll always do better than your average meaning you'll improve indeffinate.

No, no, no. I meant like when a guy does a gig, his 3 atws isn't his technical part of the show, where as for female performers, it is there technical part of the show.
(My theory) Even though females can do much better, they don't because they get the same result from freestylers(main motivation for most). A male posts a video of 3 nt combos, 15+ move combos etc will get little recognition but when a female posts very low level stuff(for female standard), they still get the recognition. It's actually male freestylers keeping the level of female freestylers below what they can achieve by encouraging little improvement.

Off topic:All people are equal in my opinion. I'm not prejudice! :039:

yeh girls seem to break combos a lot more... its not good.. also i think they dont have as much a freestyle knowledge as most guys.. ie. knowing all freestylers, trick names, history and culture and i think that makes a difference... but Indi can do beck ltatw and i think patw so if u guys train hard enough u will make it :D

:D thanks all..
@L_I_S i take back what i said then about LPs!
@ DTM: true we need to improve our knowledge... lets say that for this at least in my case i haven't had the possibility to dedicate to it but slowly girls are knowing more....

unfortunately only a few now really understand what freestyle is and this is why trying to make things change for what female concernes...

there will always be a difference males body are made for strength activities wich does influence the capabilities of a female as we don't have the same amount of strength... tecnically yes we can reach the same tecnical skill but the power will be a difference.

but i am glad there are no steryotpes..and that you support us!
just keep helping our motivation in fair way according to what you say so everytime more girls can understand freestyle and get the right thinking to reach results.!

Good job! (woohoo recognition!  :Woot_Emoticon:)

Yeah girls break combos lot and upper/sits style isn't very good either but to break both of these habits you need practice and more interaction on here to understand freestyle.

I don't know why, but honestly - I don't find women doing the same tricks as men do. I mean - women should do tricks hmm... related with an art, beauty(don't ask if tatw amatw isn't a beauty too). Perhaps it sounds stupid, but really - I'd rather women did sth like this. Why? If for example men did artistic choreography - it would like kinda gay. If women did this - it would look beautiful.  You should create something new, not to tend to men's way.
Sorry for english
