it isn't the same (about video)... it's like we (you) can give judging to 'simple' people ( who don't freestyle) and they will decide who's the best... in lps we can see perform trix (mostly) and hardcore freestyle (from Skora, for example) and how will we compare it? skatw to some stalls? o.O and what will win? it's be different becoz of different views on freestyle by freestyles...
so, my opinion, we should do top ranking by Lps and by videos too :) 2 lists  :rolleyes:

Wouldn't it be best to work it out this way...

Make a list of: Top 10-20 uppers freestylers
                     Top 10-20 Air move/combo freestylers
                     Top 10-20 Sitdown freestylers
                     Top 10-20 grounds freestylers

And maybe could possibly add Top 10-20 performers. I think if there is a list of all these then you can work out an average of who is the best all around freestyler by where they are on each list.

It's a pretty simple format to work with and if anybody can get all these lists together it shouldn't be too hard to do the averages.

I'm partly agree on the lp opinion. F. Eks. John Farnworth; He's not the best freestyler in the world (no offense) but he's one of the best in lp's. Skóra should win anyways.

probably the best idea was ash's, but it would be alot of work making the lists for all of these. you would also have to lists of overall control to include other types of tricks like stalls and heel juggling. lps have to be the most important, but videos should be considered.

completely unnecessary.  a simple top 20 list should be good enough, it's not like this shit is OFFICIAL anyway.

take both videos and LP's into account, but pay more attention to LP's.  it's true some ppl don't get to do LP's and only make videos... but LP's have MUCH more worth than videos do.  it's releasing a video on the internet to be admired by a buncha guys on a forum... as opposed to... getting contracts, sponsorships, half time shows, etc. etc. etc.

and it's silly to divide categories into lower, upper, sits, etc.  it's much better to be like nam the man... he can transition from one to another like they're all the same thing... like they're all the part of a same routine/performance.  even tho, u might not say he's the best at one single thing.

Right on target

I think we should also judge by how active freestylers are right now.  For example we've seen tons of new stuff from Skora lately.. 

I think John Farnworth is the best in the world, he is the most complete freestyler out there
