The Freestyle Blog

Welcome to the Official Blog for Freestyle and Shark Watches.
Featuring mind benders, funny sh*t, amazing rides, crazy people, behind the scenes shenanigans and anything and everything that keeps the Freestyle office a buzz. We may not play the same sport or have the same passions, we may not have the same gender, religion or faith, we may not live in the same country, city, or state, but we all spend our days breathing, bleeding and sweating the same way. At the end of the day it's all about performance and together we are Freestyle, we are performance timing, and this is our blog.

Sean Poynter and the Suicide Scissor Kick

Thursday, July 10th, 2008


Freestyle: So we caught you attempting a new aerial maneuver. Do you have a name for it?
Sean: Well it’s kind of hard, I need to land it before I can call it anything.
Freestyle: We’ll from the looks of it we’d call it a suicide scissor kick, do you really think it’s possible to pull off?
Sean: Ya, I think it is actually, it’s like an inverted passion pop reverse, if that makes any sense? Haha!
Freestyle: Cool, well good luck, it looks gnarly. So what brings you out to the westside?
Sean: I’m out for the Nike Pro JR in HB next weekend.
Freestyle: Good luck and show up and blow up.

We also got a couple clips of Sean doing his standard frontiside punts along with fellow Volcom soldier, Dave Post. Newport has been might fun lately, let’s pray for surf to keep the good times rolling.

This is Mr. Post in the air, but he’s been putting in some serious tube time as well. We’ll get him a sequence one of these days.
