Warm up before freestyling??????????

[Cogliono Grande]

You should warm up. Maybe with some grounds, or some atw's. Then you'll get better at atw's or grounds while you warm up.

not necessarily continuously
but that's what I do so...  :pimp:
after that juggle, I wait for like 10 min while walking a bit in circles
then I'm ready
It's too hard for me to do combos if I don't get my touch.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH You cant be serius about this?! :D  :pimp:

I just go out, do high knees jogging on the spot for like 20 seconds. Juggling and simple combos for like a minute then imagine you are trying to kick a ball high as possible with both legs, shake ya whole body out then start to freestyle!

hehe.. just do the things that are easy for you. and when you are warm. you can start on the hard stuff...

its not about the tricks.. its how much you put into the different tricks you do..

if tatw is really hard for you. then its bad to start whit, if its easy. then its nice for warm up... and so on...

my recommendation would be to just do things that doesn't require stretching your muscles too much for the first few minutes than either stretch or build up with the techniques that require more flexibility. also many of you mentioned stretching first. you probably won't get hurt by it, but you should do some easy warm up before you stretch. its better for your muscles, and after a little warm up you muscles become more flexible.

Also, Why the fuck do you need to warm up, just get some deep heat spray!

[Pete]

honestly.. i warm up by doing basic tricks and just generally build up the movements your going to be doing. so start with atw's, single htw's heel juggles etc. then strech a small bit and fire away !
