Worlds this year was awesome. There are some people complaining on the judging instead of just enjoying the great freestyle videos. So what if Jensen didn’t win, I don’t care, and I don’t think either of you should do either. Worlds was packed with lots of great performances. I am no judge, but I’ll let the judges do their job and then sit here in front of my computer and thin the exact same thoughts. If the judging was different and Jensen won, I would still like Shinya’s freestyle better than his. You can judge whichever way you want to, but the freestyles remain the same.
Let’s share the love for freestyles instead of expressing the hate some of you may have towards the judging. I have picked my three favorite freestyles and you can pick and post as many as you want. And even though mine are just 1a, you can pick whatever freestyle(s) you like the best.
I’ll start with my definite favorite, Mark Montgomery. I’ve expressed my thoughts on this man so many times, and I’ll do it again with pleasure. I really like his style, just the way things move, reminds me of art. It’s like his tricks are making a painting. In addition to that, he has great contact with the crowd and it always looks like he’s having a lot of fun. He did several mistakes and is not too happy with his own freestyle, but he is my definite favorite. Ladies and gentlemen, Mark Montgomery! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MRE36OQwEU&NR=1
Now for my second favorite. This guy hasn’t been a really noticed player until recently. He just showed up in the CLYW pro team. He is bringing a creative French touch to yoyoing. He has an amazing style packed with creative tricks, cool looking whips and a wicked flow. If you have not guessed who I am talking about already, then get ready to be amazed. I bring you, ladies and gentlemen, 13th place in the 1a division, Hadrien Bennaceur! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2u3VWXEvzQ&feature=related
Let’s move on to my third favorite. He has some amazing slacks, but did mess up a lot. He is already the current national champion in the US and has the full right to wear that title with pride. His tricks are really creative and oh so amazing to look at. Ladies and gentlemen, 8th place in the 1a division, Eric Koloski! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHwqfQbRFZU&feature=related
Here’s some people I also liked a whole lot:
-Chris Fraser
-Shinya Kido
-Alex Berenguel
-Anthony Rojas
Now post some of your favorites!
Addment: Also no complaining about the judging or other people’s favorites. This is a matter of personal opinion about the freestyles and the players, the judging and other members’ favorites are nothing to care about.
