SUMMER MEETING 2012?

[Ricke]

I clearly stated freestyling around the football areas as only a part of the meet. I said you could do your own thing but having something around a big crowd could be cool. Maybe a one day thing.

Also, freestyle soccer is not comparable to breakdancing or bikes. Those are different things. Comparing freestyle basketball to soccer is a fair comparison. To freestyle with a football or basketball you probably come from a soccer or basketball background and that will continue to be a trend simply because you need some ability with the ball to get started. Tell me how many freestylers never played footy? I bet nobody. Breakdancing and diving are ridiculous comparisons for too many reasons to list.

I disagree with the growth strategy around freestyle football. I'm not saying you have to go to football to grow, but what I am saying is that going AWAY from it completely as most you want want, is a recipe for negative growth. You're being too proud and ignorant if you think you're too good for the football audience. You should be using all sources to help growth.

I might not freestyle anymore but don't think I haven't been around this for long enough. I'm not a fool and know my business. the biggest problem for freestyle is the young, imature audience who doesn't know business and how to grow the sport.

Me. I've never played football in a team I wouldn't say I'm an amazing freestyler but I am somewhat decent.

and honestly i know, the purpose of your post = get more members= forum becomes popular=your website does well =business/fame.
its not for freestyle. am i right or am i right?

the purpose of my post has nothing to do with my fame.  I don't expect to be known for anything to be honest.  I just want this site to do well.  I'm not looking to bank off it.  I would have ads all over this place if that was my goal.  Even when the site was really active, we never had ads bugging you.

If this wasn't for freestyle, I wouldn't have put my pride aside.  I've done whatever I could to make freestyle grow within this community.  Freestyle used to be a small part of Soccer Grip, then I ditched all of the soccer focus for freestyle.  Everything is pretty much gone from our website/forum besides the small soccer board.  I want to help freestyle grow and that's why I put tons of time into this site.  I don't like hearing a bunch of shit from you guys about my love for football.  Of course I love football, but it has nothing to do with my interest in freestyle.  I love both in different ways, and that's all it is.  I simply have a different idea on how freestyle growth can be helped.  I've been the most active member on this forum for a while now and I don't even have time to be on here to be honest.  I'm doing it for the well-being of the site, not profits or anything else.

Maybe one day you guys will stop thinking I only care about football and money.  Fucking pathetic.

He wants his site to do well..who the hell would make a website and count on it to fail or at least not do their best to make it succeed. And I hope he does make money, I'm sure that if he did he would put even more time and effort into BF making it as good as possible.
You always have a smart ass comment but never a smart ass response.

This.

Tbh adi is doing a good job, the forum could go better but adi has always tried to help the community out.
it must be frustrating as hell for him to see people having an opinion like tbc when he never has made any profit out of this website, he has never asked for our help to do anything neither has he been after fame.

He even let oli advertise his dvd on the front page.
I don't agree with the football thing but whatever, that may be your opinion.

i just like to express my thoughts, not get involved in drama, there fore i dont respond lol. Maybe what i said about Adi's intentions was oversimple and sounded harsh. Sorry man. Thinking from an admin's POV maybe you are right. Just increase your freestyle knowledge. Will make you the awesomest ever!
