Nelson de Kok is one of the big names in the Freestyle culture. He’s 21 years old and lives in Tilburg. Together with his good friend Ruud, they perform at shows around the world, they have their own Freestyle skills DVD and Nelson also helped EA Sports out with the game Fifa Street.

When did you first start to Freestyle?
Ever since I was a little boy I played StreetMatch. I cant even remember how old I was. In all those hours of practise on the streets, I developed a lot of tricks on the ground and in the air. But I still think, the best way to practise your skills is with an opponent. Because if you cant use your tricks in a real game, you should practise more.

How did you learn to freestyle?
I always had a few air skills, but I never showed them. But a few years ago a Streetsoccer organization asked me to perform at a Freestyle battle in the Amsterdam Arena. I loved to perform for such a big audience. After that I got more requests for Freestyle shows and demonstrations. With that I got more experience and I became better and better.

What is the difference between Freestyle and StreetMatch?
For example, if a boy walks up to you and shows you his amazing air skills, after that you guys play a StreetMatch game and you kill him with your skills. Will you remember his amazing air skills after you embarrassed him with your ground skills? Don’t think so, that’s why I think you should control ground and air skills.

What does Freestyle give to you in return?
By Freestyling I got my own character in the game Fifa Street, I played in several DVD’s and commercials. My passion is now my daily job!

Your motto?
A day no Streetsoccer is a wasted day.

TM Member interview Jarno Peet.

I’m Jarno Peet and i’m 19 years old. I live in Zaandam West and I mostly play at the famous Viaduct at Zaandam. You can check out some of my video’s at www.youtube.com/Peetje075

When did you first started to Freestyle
I started to play StreetMatch about a year ago. I’ve always played football on a grass field in my neighbourhood. But one day Edward van Gils came to our grass field and told us about the Viaduct. That summer the Monta StreetLegends also came to the Viaduct to play StreetMatch. I was also there and I the tricks I saw them do, it was crazy. From that moment I started to learn the basic moves. The StreetMatch virus got me and I’m practising ever since.

Are you a Freestyle or a StreetMatch (streetmatch is streetsoccer) player, or maybe both?
StreetMatch, I love to drive my opponent crazy with my ground moves. I think Freestyle is like the circus, its not really football. Its something everybody can learn, as long as you practise long enough. And of course I can do some Freestyle moves, but I don’t like it just as much as StreetMatch moves.

What is your best trick?
I have invented an AKKA, I don’t know if its my best move, but I do think its my coolest move. I start with the famous “Boukhari drag akka” and finish it off with the jump move from Dave from Rotterdam. I don’t know if this move all ready exists, I do know I invented it myself and I didn’t copy it.

What is the Dutch Freestyle and StreetMatch culture all about?
The Dutch StreetMatch culture is the best in the world, without a doubt. When I show my skills in a foreign country they admit that I have a dope style. The Monta StreetLegends also proved to be the best StreetMatch players in the world, with their world tour.

Who is the best Freestyle player allround?
I think Edward van Gils is the best StreetMatch player around. He has the sickest style of them all. With Freestyle I like Touzani the most. Because not only can he Freestyle, he also knows how to play StreetMatch.

What do you think about TrickMasters.com?
I love the site, because everybody can show off their skills. But I’d rather stick to playing StreetMatch games instead of filming my moves in the back of my yard.

Shoutout
Shoutout to Cliff, Rowdy, Steven and Xander. Zaandam Viaduct represent!

Palle goes MONTA

I don’t have to explain who Palle is, he’s one of the best Freestyle players of the world. He’s also an official MONTA Streetlegend. Last week MONTA organized a photo shoot for their new website. All of the MONTA Streetlegends were there, to show off their skills in front of the camera. Palle was also in the building. I spoke with Palle at the shoot and asked him, if he had some new footage from himself. And this is what he showed me, check out his latest clip. .

Vanenburg conquers dubai

Jermaine Vanenburg played in several international indoor competition. One of the country’s he conquered with his skills is Dubai. At one of the biggest indoor tournament, Al Roudan, he showed his skills and he proved to be the best StreetMatch player in the world. Check out the clip and watch the proof.
