Irish Freestyle Crew would kick ass at the olympics, we got Tiernan muthafuckazzzz
we could probably finish in the top 7 or 8 if it was teams by country

George Chakour, old school. Was in Cero 1.

Search him on the youtube. And a competition with teams sounds fucking cool, outside of the olympics. Like a eurobac, but with teams.

Not too sound negative but there are soo many sports that would enter the olympics before freestyle.....skateboarding....futsal....cricket...indoor cricket....and sooo many more that are way more popular than freestyle and still dont make it...freestyle isnt one of those type of sports.........just like juggling or hackysack to be honest i dont think it belongs there......but then again i dont think the horse trotting belongs there either...

Maybe your right, freestyle in the Olympics is not so realistic, cause i dont think it ever will be in the Olympics. Isnt there other ways freestyle could get more known and like an international competition?

ok now that we are on this topic it brings me to the question of
"fs in the olympics or any major competition such as the big O, would it necessary be a good thing ornot"

please leave feel free to express ur views and comments.

i personally can see it being a bad thing, and being too commercial..and ending up being like one of the commercial fsers.
or maybe taking away something special such as the individuality about  the "sport /hobbie" but i dont know.

u?

well there you have a point nedved. if it becomes too famous, it looses it's indivuality. now many of us are the only persons in a big area that can do certain things with a ball. and concurrention is never good. also, when it's becoming too commercial you'll get that people want to become pro as fast as possible, and you end up with unstylish freestylers. and you get even more spam on youtube and tournaments as BF and NAS become unclear because so ridiculously many people want to join?

would freestyle have to be an official sport with a governing body (like FIFA) and offical rules first?

i reckon us to do like every 2 years a competition in a certain countrey dat freestylers can come and have battles like da polish freestylers choose a number of freestylers vs. da english freestylers(da english have to do da same thing) and etc. but we'll do da comp. in like an underground tunnel or somethin so we lk like gangstas, every team should have a certain shirt worn by da whole team!! and the winner of da comp. will be like da best nationality of freestyle till da next comp. comes, it's like da soccer worldcup but for  freestyle and without fans and stuff!!! da judges could be like palle, FX, was, farnworth etc.... i mean like da professional freestylers!!! i promise it would be fun, like almost 100 team, 5 or etc. in each team havin freestyle battles wid professionals judging!! tell me wt u think bout it :cheers:
