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.
