Nope, I don't want to jepordize my freestyle game.
Anyway, I've stated my opinion and I have nothing important left to add. I dont like street and think its ridiculous, and nothing said on this board will change my outlook.
OK
Fair enough. I know you're not alone in the community.
The irony is that I started doing trials because I couldn't "flatland" shred because my shins were so sore from the constant, repetitive impact and twisting.
That left me sitting on the benches surrounded by stairs watching and absorbing all the frestyle energy around me. I generally still had tons of energy, felt good and wanted to shred - it was only when I started playing that the pain became intense. Given my skateboarding roots, what followed was simply a natural extension of my game.
I didn't publish "Like Water 2" (or "Like Water" for that matter) to a sound track of Bruce Lee talking about his philosophy of the Martial Arts by accident. I relate to his words very strongly and I feel that "I am honestly expressing myself" when performing trials.
I guess I was a skater before I was a freestyler, so perhaps I just don't care as much about my footbag career as some people do
Perhaps I know that I'll recover from a sprained ankle and live to shred another day.
About the anti-social nature of Freestyle Trials: I actually sort-of agree on that. Don't be stealing the bag off from a circle and attempting that shit! Trials are a solo, side-line, freak-show type endeavor that should not be confused with the traditional circle
Peace.
