Ok, so I spend lots of time picking apart songs on a big list to make one. Let's take a 3 minute routine. My suggestion is to be a true all around great freestyle you need to be fast and slow. Mix it up between 3-5 songs (3 minute routine). Then once I have the music I just listen to it a lot. Pick out certain parts of the song in which you know you want to do something to a certain beat or bang. I don't know why, but I call them hit spots.
So say I have 3 "hit" spots in 3 minutes. I know at the first spot I was to do a crank shaft, second spot I want to do a blender (blenders are great in slow songs) and third a pop top. I then start working stuff around that and decide what can lead up to the main hits. It just takes time and each routine gets better. One thing is in a song you need to know where you need to be in the box at certain points. So if I need to be on the north side of the box and I'm running behind you can really get on the throttle to get where you need to be.
People to really watch are Seth, Daniel, Jason Noll and a few others. Study their stuff like you are in school. Then just practice.
All great advice. Thanks. It is school. I think many pilots think "just put some music on and fly". That's fun but not often repeatable!
