Shaqler Demo @ 44Clash

Wow! If anyone out there is looking for that elusive formula that makes a yoyoing perfromance interesting to a general audience, whilst still retaining credibility amongst those in the know, check this out!

Worth watching for the first minute or so alone, but the whole thing is incredible.

US Nationals less than a week away.

US Nationals is right around the corner. I don’t know about anyone else, but i’m excited!

With the emergence of the “new guard” at Worlds this year, the 1A title looks to be more open than ever before. Can new kids on the block Anthony Rojas and Chris Frasier put up a a serious challenge to the likes of Yuuki Spencer and Sebastian Brock? Will Augie finally come good? What about Tyler Severance’s ever improving 1A? Or can John Chow put together the sort of top level freestyle that we know he has in him.

5A looks to be a straight up battle once again between Miggy and Tyler, unless Samm or JonRob can take their stuff to a new level or Sterling can recapture past glories. The standard however, is sure to be higher than ever before.

You can view the list of registered competitors Here. Thoughts on who will win 2A, 3A or 4A? Disagree with me on 1A or 5A? Let us know in the comments section!

44:Clash Wrap Up and Clip Video.

So in case anyone hasn’t heard yet, Jensen Kimmit took first at 44:Clash against a truly world class field including both Mickey and current World Champion Shinya Kido. Could this be the start of a truly breakthrough year for Jensen?

Check out some of the action below in this prelims clip video

Fingers crossed for Freestyle videos. Japan has extremely stringent copyright laws, but hopefully we’ll all get to see what observers are calling one of the most dominant freestyles of all time.
