for me, from the footage i've seem I think Lonn Smith is the best. Just the way he moves- such rythm. I dig all the ducking and spinning stuff...

You have missed much...

How about Felix "Stone Cold" Zenger, Jere "Smooth Criminal" Vainikka or Mika "Iceman" Koistinen?!? You must have seen footage of them!

Not to be mean, but if we are basing being the best on style and fluidity then Kenny Schults would not be up there.
There is always a bigger trick.

Go watch a vid. of Dylan Fry.

Style and fluidity has no bearing on a person's skill level. And btw, Kenny is still an insane freestyler, I don't know if you have seen him in person but he will blow your mind time and time again.

Umm, I'm pretty sure there are more than 100 *respectable* freestylers who can do more than just toe stalls.

I think being on the top 100 list would still land you as a pretty good freestyler who can do quite a bit more than toe stalls.

Don't you think it's safe to say there are at least 100 genuine guiltless footbag players in the World?
