A couple weeks ago C-stan had contacted me about possibly doing a new freestyle video. He decided to fly out to Canada to have Ayo film and help with the project and this was the result. I’ve got to say that this is a refreshingly different type of freestyle video that totally captures a unique mood, not to mention its probably the best filmed and edited freestyle I’ve ever seen. C-stan’s original style is still intact, along with some sick new moves, variations and combos. Check it out -
A little interview with Trikz about what’s new with him. He has a new app out for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad that teaches you how to do streetball freestyle moves. Search “Trikz” on the iTunes store and you’ll find this awesome new instructional app easily.

Along the freestyle timeline, A2W is arguably the second major influence in spinning tricks after Tommy Baker. That says quite a bit about the caliber of his tricks and his reputation in the freestyle world. That being said, it comes as no surprise that he was victorious in the Freestyle Central Spinning Contest with an innovative new spin trick. Check out what A2W has to say about his experiences with freestyle and how he came up with his contest-winning move.
Congrats for winning the spinning contest A2W, and thanks for taking the time to do this interview. First of all can you tell us a bit about where you’re from?
Thanks Snake, I’m from London in England where freestyle is growing and the home of some great freestylers.
How did you get the name A2W?
My real name is Andrew Wilding so I got the name A2W from my initials at first but then people would say Read the rest of this entry »
OK, this isn’t all freestyle, but honestly it doesn’t matter, because this promo changed the flow freestyle game as we know it. The “Mike Thomas” (between the legs catch and pull-through), is in just about every freestylers’ repetoire right now, and for that alone this clip made an impact. On top of that Mission’s creative moves, H20 and Replay’s smooth combos, and Kodak and Intimidator’s unique swaggers brought something new to the game when originality was lacking bigtime.
This is just one of the battles, and it looks like it was beyond insane. For more of the battles click here.
