**38:38 - Talk about Adam Colton and Adam Stokowski from [[Loaded Boards]] (http://loadedboards.com/). They produce great videos such as the Adam and Adam videos. In the first videos they were riding 60" homemade boards and basically doing freestyle, in Bob's opinion. Decide for yourself:

*39:47 - How do you define freestyle? [[Kilian Martin]] is a fantastic freestyle, but most of his videos incorporate obstacles or street elements.  It is Tony's opinion that as soon as you introduce an obstacle, or take away the flat surface, it isn't really freestyle anymore. Street evolved as a way to take freestyle tricks onto obstacles. That is a clear delineation.

**41:54 - [[Bob Staton]] came up with a good definition of freestyle on the F-Forum back in 2001-2002: There is a difference between flatland and freestyle; With flatland skateboarding, it's trick-roll-trick-roll-trick-turn around-trick-roll. Freestyle in its best sense, was when you are paying attention to how the tricks are arranged and you are forming a routine so that they flow together with footwork in-between. Matt adds that it should also be to music. Tony can see why that would alienate people and anger freestylers. This topic clearly descended into a very gay and nerdy conversation. "Hey, I didn't order a pizza" Waka-waka-wah.
