| Definition of A Freestyle Walker |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Here at the international Headquarters of Freestyle Walking, the Official Governing Body of all things that have to do with Sick Hops, we have received many e-mails questioning what exactly it takes to be a freestyle walker. Well, it's not easy. Many think that all a freestyle walker does is jump and take pictures of themselves doing this. ANYBODY can just jump. |

| What separates the freestyle walker from mere mortals is what one does while one loses their sense of gravity. For instance, if a freestyle walker pulls a SICK Craigy Special one hand is grabbing the feet while the other hand is saluted to the sky to keep proper balance within the atmosphere. |

| Something else that a freestyle walker must always be aware of is his/her surroundings. Who is watching? What background will be accompanying the sweet picture? Is the landing area going to hurt? How many people will be asking for an autograph after the jump is completed? Will this picture land a spot as Picture of the Week? Many questions must go through the freestyle walker's psyche. |

| Physical preparation is almost as important as the mental game for the freestyle walker. Unlike other sport governing Bodies such as Major League Baseball and the Olympic Committee, the governing body of Freestylewalking.org actually encourages performance enhancing drugs. We believe that if everybody takes them, then the playing field will be level and everybody will have a chance at jumping over a bus. Our athletes are being exploited and we in no way care about their long term physical health or the legal ramifications that may come with this decision. |

| Hopefully you now understand the physical and mental rigor of what it takes to be a freestyle walker. If you believe you have what it takes, send your pictures to submit@freestylewalking.org. Who knows, you may just become Walker of the Week. Or you may be inducted to the International Freestyle Walking Hall of Fame. The building is reported to be completed in 2340 due to the smuggling of funds by the staff at Freestylewalking.org. |
