 [[Fleece Tyler]] is not a legendary freestyler like it sounds. He is actually just an extremely obscure internet meme that only freestylers are likely to have encountered, while using [https://translate.google.com/ Google Translate] to translate Japanese freestyle-related web pages (such as [http://freestyle-sk8.com/ freestyle-sk8.com]) to English.
-The mistranslation occurred due to Google Translate incorrectly separating the katakana 「フリー」 (furi-) from the 「sutairu」 (style) in 「フリースタイル」 (furi-sutairu). Instead, it separated it into 「フリース」 (furisu) and 「タイル」 (tairu), which phonetically resulted in [[Fleece Tyler]], in English.

+In short, [[Fleece Tyler]] is "Freestyle"!
 The original mistranslation was corrected sometime in 2016, but [[Fleece Tyler]] lives on, in our memories and on this page.
