well i guess i kind of consider starting freestyle when i actually made an effort to learn how to do tricks. i've been good a juggling a football since i was like 10yrs old, and could do like neck stall and cross over at like 13yrs old. i would consider that to be when i started freestyle though, because there are so many people who just play football who can do one or two tricks, but don't consider themselves freestylers. i started to actually freestyle last december, so for me its 1yr, but i guess i had good prior touch training from football.
