The art of freestyle walking (loosely related to free running) is a means of self-expression and creative interaction with one's environment. Freestyle walkers use leaps and air moves, clever footwork, dance or any non-traditional walking movement. Today, many practitioners view it as the act of rollerblading or skateboarding without the skates or board. Some participants use soap shoes with grind plates that allow the freestyle walker to grind or slide easily along surfaces such as curbs, ledges and bars. With the increase in popularity of soap shoes during the mid- to late-1990s, many newcomers to freestyle walking mistakenly began to refer to the act of grinding using soap shoes as freestyle walking. The term "Freestyle Walking," itself was coined in 1996 on the television show MTV NEWS: UnFiltered by Brandon Kennedy, Tom Mottier and Brian White of Wheaton, IL. ==Moves== Basic examples of freestyle walking moves include: *Broadsides *Falls * *Fallbacks * *Sweetfalls - "also known as actually falling, but then jumping back up like nothing happened" 〔free swag runner〕 *Flips * *Freak flips *Grabs (airbound, often grabbing a part of the body such as the ankle or foot) *Hangings *Heelclicks *Hops *Jams *Jangles *Jukes *Rolls *Slides * *Rail slides (often sitting on a rail, or using shoes with grind plates) *Spins * *Late spins * *Sick spins * *Slim spins *Stalls *Swings *Taps *Vaults 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Freestyle walking」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
