Welcome to The Freestyle Connection. I would like to thank many of you out there for the positive feedback and support over the years. It has been nearly 7 years since I launched this site and I'm still very serious about sharing my love for Freestyle music. It has always been my passion and dedication to keep Freestyle alive through the internet. My initial goal of this site is to create a place that is not only about the music but to give Freestyle a sense of history. It is my personal initiative to make the Freestyle Connection a place that informs as well as report what is currently happening in the community.
In my update I've included new material such as "Freestyle in Film, news and additional years to the Freestyle timeline. There will be alot more goodies added in the coming months so be sure to come back often. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any comments, suggestions or requests. If you'd like to be included on my mailing list, sign my Guestbook.
Special Thanks to Emanouel Pontikakis and Karen S. for their generous support.

Remember When...
Freestyle is sometimes referred to (sometimes disparaging) as "rollerskating music" due to its prevalence in roller rinks. In Miami (where Freestyle is largely prevalent), Freestyle is sometimes called "Hot Wheels music" after the Hot Wheels roller rink (now called "Super Wheels.")The F.C. wants to bring back those lost days of hanging at the rinks and NY hot clubs like the Heartthrob, Palladium, 1018, FunHouse and the Devils Nest. Help relive those days by sharing your memories or sending photos.
