i finally believe i have style now, i freestyle to doubles, and enjoy freestyling to anything by NAOKI. I love the pure beat and that is how i decide which song to freestyle to, i am working on stealth freestyle but its tough

More power to ya! We could use all the freestylers we can get. The popularity of freestyle in Indiana has been extremely incosistent and nearly non-existent in the past couple years.

As you're watching freestyle videos of people in Korea, have you watched many of the Pump freestyle videos from Korea? I've seen some where they do some pretty cool things along the lines of which I've never seen someone do here.

Aye, the Pump freestyling can easily rival, if not surpass, much of the DDR freestyling I've seen on various videos throughout the net. Although, from the looks of things, the machines are very structurally similar; there isn't much one could do on a Pump machine that couldn't be done on a DDR machine.

In any case, if we could get some sort of rebirth or surge of Indy Freestyling to happen, I'd be all about it. =)

(*ponders a catchy and influential freestyle motto for all to see*)

Join us on the freeside! We need to have some sort of big public get together (I'm think GW sometime) and just have a big night of Freestyle mania. Me and red x are keeping it up, but I dont see anyone else trying

The configuration of arrows for Pump forces you to step differently than DDR, so while both playing and freestyling you'll notice a difference. I personally feel that Pump's arrow placement is more intuitive for freestyling, but then again I don't really attempt to "dance" while playing either game.

The step patterns for PIU help with spins and such. Much less sliding if you spin it, due to the repitition of certain patterns, pivots and some fs moves become quite natural feeling.

I can freestyle to piu better than I can to ddr.

Since I don't have a lot of finesse, When I do freestyles, I try to do something either funny or something that requires a lot of my Man-strength.

I guess my favorite accomplishment was a combonation of the two...

...I managed to get... I atleast an "A" on Only You Heavy Doubles while balancing a 120 lbs. Chibi(Star) on my shoulders at the DDR-a-thon 2.

Hey HO! Do you still have that video laying around somewhere? I'd like to see it.

I never even learned to do doubles since I neved had two pads at home and I had never tried it at the arcade... when I tried it I failed horridly. I don't see how anyone can do doubles with that huge tilt that's on the gameworks stage... I was missing all the arrows on the right side when I transfer over.
Geez I suck

i really sucked at first it was a totally different experience actually i still suck but it took a lot of time to achieve the ranking of only sucking a little

I agree with Mark, freestyle is dying out, so the more the merrier.
It takes a certain attitude to do freestyle well. I can't do it because I'm big on technical play. I'm more worried about getting perfects than looking cool
