Both macca and kane from aus improved like crazy freaks in 2008...
also TF, macca(uk), oli hayzzeee and becs really impressed me... (im sure there are more but i cant think of them atm)
imo, JK has to be the freestyler of 2008... his creativity and performance ability is just amazing, and all of his videos are a pleasure to watch.
and for 2009... l8ly michael hindles been showing me his vids, and the ammount he has improved since i met him is just phenominal... but i think 2009 shall be the year of oli hayes.
Thank you so much BevS and G-Man for the comments about me. Personally, I don't care about videos so much, I only have 2 planned for this whole year and G-Man was talking about LP cause thats where I stand! Thanks you two guys...
I'd like to say the freestyler(s) of 2008 firstly.
Mark-T such an amazing improvement, I met him earlier on in the year and toured with him a lil and I could even see dramatic improvement in the short space of time, also he makes entertaining videos and could beast most people at LP
John Farnworth, do I have to say anymore..... He has once again come on loads, whether it be uppers, sitdowns or air he could probably compete with everyone in the world, if I set him a combo or told him something creative to try within 3 attempts he woulda nailed it.
Jeon Kwon, although I haven't freestyled with him, I have met him and he's such a character! His LPs really shine above others with his different kinda angle in freestyle, very good to watch.
BevS his combo's have come on so well! His videos are getting even more entertaining and he made the only freestyle video that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.....
Skora, I just watch SAC1 then SAC3 sums it all up pretty easily. His style has progressed like mad and he is more fluent and creative!
Now people to look out for in 2009:
Me myself ;) I know I am gonna bring big things to the freestyle scene so I will just add my name to my list... hehe.
Jak, I can't see him building up the character and confidence to be a performer although he is capable of an alround show, so when he releases his first "proper" video, its gonna shock quite a few people, his sitdowns are just insane, every touch just looks perfect and his air is coming on really really well, whether it be HTW combos or ahmatw moves, he's got it.
George, I can see this young fella being a really top class street performer, he's got an amazing top headstall, humour and his air is coming on really well, just wait and see..... ;)
Pete "Ireland" this guys style is absolutely mad! I have only seen JF and Palle make insides look so smooth, and his sitdowns are top draw aswell!
