How does MichRyc not win most comps?

[Zarzi]

Firstly, I totally agree with Adi on the first post. If he entered I'm sure he would reach the final in almost every competition, including RBSS. Just too bad that he decided not to enter RBSS. I think you are right, Jrk, that he wants to hide his level for the World Tour, but I don't understand why he didn't enter/win last year's polish RBSS?? Anybody know anything about that?
Actually, det same for Luki (or not the same, not at all actually), but why doesn't he enter RBSS? Ofc it's hard to win the Polish championships, but as far as I know he didn't even compete? Btw, imo, if Luki got consistent on all of his tricks, he would be seriously good, one of the best, if not THE best.

Elimination RBSS this year in Poland was a bit different. MichRyc didn't start as a rest for the time being and perhaps mainly focuses on the F3 World Tour. On the issue of Luki, then he couldn't go to Żerków because he had an important exam at the university. Mikołaj while was on vacation.

Returning to the MichRyc topic. In my opinion the best presents now, he should fight for RBSS and other tournaments. However, it's his decision. And that shows yet again what he can do.

Just look at the ratings, especially in more individual sports like boxing or even basketball where less players are involved.  Miami Heat, Lakers, Boston, Mayweather, and Mike Tyson all drew the best ratings of all time because of their superior level and domination.  People love the story of the underdog and the ratings show exactly that. What you prefer personally is your opinion, but the numbers don't lie when it comes to my comment.

One major problem with this, all of those sports you mentioned there is a clear objective, and it makes it obvious whom is better. No one fights Mayweather, and just a judge, I like his style better. No, Mayweather wins by KO, TKO, or UD every  single time, because it's obvious he outboxes his opponent. In freestyle, it's different.

If there has been a top dog in recent times, it's been Andrew Henderson. He's been the most consistent performer in freestyle competitions in recent times. He's won several majors as well. I'd actually say he's the most equipped to be dominant, but even he cannot  win everything. He's extremely well rounded, has many super difficult tricks, has a great flow, and he brings personality to his performances. There however are more than a few guys capable of beating AH on a given day, and that's why he isn't completely dominant. The same would go for Michryc or any other top freestyler.

I think I've read somewhere the price of winning the f3 tour is really big, while winning Prague is mostly about gaining respect. I guess that's the reason why Michryc wanted to save his stuff for later rounds of the tour

Yes, I think you're right.. for every step of the tour there is a smaller prize (think it was like 15.000 (not dollars, euros or pounds, but some arab money I think) in Dubai), and then there is a pretty big prize for the winner of the whole tour, of course including the smaller ones, which means that MichRyc will actually earn quite a lot of money by winning this tour when he has already won the first 2 comps.. not saying MichRyc does this for money, cause I don't think that is the case, I just think he's saving his energy for the tour because he already has this big chance to win it and because it includes (almost) all the best freestylers in the world, meaning he would also earn respect + popularity + title of World Champion.

I didn't know that! It's just too bad, cause Luki is one of my favourite freestylers!!

I feel like a prick for saying this, but Andrew isn't one of the best 3 for me.  Yeah, he does hard tricks, but he always looks like he's chasing the ball and his style is too rigid... no fluidity.  I'm under the belief that the best freestylers look smooth when they freestyle.  The best make the hardest stuff look easy and stylish.  Andrew is always stretching.  Yeah, his moves are hard as hell but his freestyle doesn't look all that great.

I can actually see what you are saying there, but I'd disagree with him not really being top 3. He keeps winning competitions for a reason. I think part of the reason he looks like this is his energy is always so high. It's very difficult to be a high energy freestyler and always be in control 100% of the time. Look at someone like Sean or Szymo as well. They are always pushing their own limitations in their styles which causes them to occasionally be out of control and even drop in competitions. Then you  got people like Michryc that are smooth, calm, and controlled. Some would argue that he doesn't push his own limitations enough. I am not one of them. I just think he has his own style. I personally think there is about a top 10 that is interchangeable. There are just far too many different styles to choose from to pick 1 absolute best freestyler for me. It's just too difficult to really judge.
