This year, we had the honour to welcome Mathieu Pierron as one of the judgers during the Dutch Freestyle Football Championships. Of course, I did not leave the opportunity hanging to get to know France’s vice champion a bit better. Mathieu is renowned for his smooth flow, great creativity and unique sliding tricks. What is the key to creating a signature style? Also, what is it like living completely off of freestyle? And not to forget: his crew, Footstyle. Together with his freestyle friends, he performs shows, creates freestyle gear and travels on a daily basis. In short, more than enough to discuss!
