Amsterdam Meeting 2011 - 11/15 july

The annual international freestyle meeting will be held in Amsterdam, for the third time in a row. This is probabily the place to be in the middle of july, after an year of study or work. The dates have been settled by the last two editions organizer, the irish freestyler Daniel Dennehy, so the interval will be 11-15. This will probabily set a new record, as the biggest non competitive meeting in the history of this sport and is for sure one of the most anticipated moments of 2011 for freestylers across the world. For more details about this event, check it out right here! These are some pictures from the 2010 meeting, peace!
P.S. Right below there's also a video from this event!

Freestyle is...

Freestyle is the art of dancing around a ball suspended in time and space.

...the science of touching a ball in the right way, at the right time, to materialize an idea.

...the capacity to transpose in real as much as possible from the perfect moves of a fictional body.

...drawing some lines, first with the mind, and then with your own body.

...avoiding an iminent ball drop in the most graceful and original way.

...the acceptence of a mistake, even for 99 times, in order to succed once, when it counts the most.

...the ability of having fun, despite frustrations and sweat.

Combinations are endless, style is unique.

A new year, a new design

In spiritul noului an si al schimbarii, am decis sa modific putin designul acestui blog. Noi articole, videoclipuri si stiri desprea freestyle football in curand

Learn Freestyle Football - LESSON 2

This sport has 4 categories and I'm gonna talk abit about them.

Lowerbody freestyle is about juggling and controling the ball with your feet. It requires alot of practice, ussualy more than in other categories. Many say that air combos offer most variety of tricks and combinations. You need alot of coordonation, speed and good moral. It may not look like the most spectacular part of freestyle for someone who dosent know much about this sport, but it is..

Upperbody freestyle is about juggling and mentaining the control of the ball by using your upper part of the body: head, shoulders, chest etc. You can have alot of fun while practicing upper moves and its definately a good way of impressing the public. It requires good balance and flexibility.

Sittdown freestyle is the part of freestyle where you juggle the ball with any part of your body. The only condition for this is to sitt down while doing this. It requires alot of practice and sometimes improving seems impossible. Dont worry, with a positive atitude soon enough you'll nail the basic sittdown tricks. Dont forget to have fun when you practice.

Groundmoves is the part of freestyle that resembles the most with football. It's more about football actually, but some freestylers took this moves to a higher level, so thats why few football players can really perform these tricks in a game.

Good freestylers are those who perform in their shows all these 4 categories (complete freestylers). Some freestylers choose to practice one or two categories, it's all about what suits you better. The best freestylers are those who take this sport to higher levels.

More coming soon...
