could have been better....maybe some other time we'll give it another go

One time I was FSing Tsugaru standard. During the long pause about 1/4 of the way though the song, I do a handstand (back facing crowd) and put my feet on the bar to keep my balance (I can't hold a handstand for that long).

On this particular day, my feet missed the bar. The inside of my knees hit the bar then I slid down in between the two pads, hitting my hip on the edge of the pad. I needed to go to the doctor. hairline fracture. Haven't tried the move since.

yeah well i can't dance all that well and thought up and memorized the dance in less than a week's time right before the tournament. Some of it is supposed to be locking and some is supposed to be smooth, hard to tell cuz of my dancing ability, but I know moves though. The wrist rolls are kind of a combination of both lock and smooth and some of the moves should be almost like para para . Oh well, glad you liked it, it was mad fun to do and maybe if I knew how to dance, it would look a lot better .

[Captain Canada]

Yeah, I liked it too. A little sloppy at a few parts, but you had the crowd on your side, and the style fit the song well. Nice to see a new face at FS who actually dances on the pad instead of someone trying to throw in 1337 bar tricks and stuff. =)

kai: Knowing you, I'd definitely be interested in seeing what you can pull off at that tourney...beginner has sadly been underutilized in the past.

i would say i have a pretty pathetic freestyle but that dosn't stop me from practicing every day to make it look decent. I sometimes do the whole thing with my hands of improvise by sitting on the down arrow with my butt. I know I'm pathetic so can someone give me some advice please!!!

[AK (Vanilla x Mint Mix)]

[Captain Canada]

Yeah, the hard part in starting out in FS is that the songs are a minute and a half long, and a few dependable moves aren't going to cut it for the whole thing (especially if they're spins 'n slaps). What I suggest first is that you listen to a song and pick out the noticeable music cues (Spin the Disc being the most obvious). You can then get the crowd on your side by planning out moves to fit these cues - comedic, snazzy, whatever. We've all heard the songs to death, so we anticipate certain parts when we see them freestyled. Keeps our attention, y'know?

This is basically what Phrekwenci's done in tournaments ever since Electro Tuned. He'd improv almost everything, but made sure to hit those "checkpoint" moves. Safe to say, it's worked out for him. =p

The freestyle should fit the style of the song. If you've prepped b-boy moves, you should go for Get Up 'N Move or StD without question. And while you're at it, check out Get Up 'N Move doubles/standard/little.

Cool opportunity, btw, you should get that on video.
