Anyone here know how to correctly breakdance e.g. like a windmill/flare or something like that?
-
Date: Thu, Apr 24 2008 01:07:00
I wish...All i can do is a really bad six step.
-
Date: Thu, Apr 24 2008 01:09:32
Lol. Correctly breakdance? I breakdance, but yeah I'm not too good at it yet. BTW there was a topic like this in the off topic section.

har har i can do windmills
-
Date: Thu, Apr 24 2008 03:32:20
windmills? oh thats sweet... bleah... i cant do it... i know HOW but i just have like no upper body strength
-
Date: Thu, Apr 24 2008 05:40:01
You dont really need a lot of upper body strength to do it. Just good technique. My windmills are pretty crappy, I only started a few weeks ago. Just watch youtube tutorials and youll get it.

Date: Thu, Apr 24 2008 12:16:43
yeah but i can barely hold myself up in hanglide position for like 10 sec, and w/o my legs like 5 sec... and i know HOW to move my legs i just cant do it

As of now, I think you should focus more on style rather than power.
-
Date: Sat, Apr 26 2008 00:34:53
heheh unless u wana be like me and learn mills just for fun. You dont really need to be able to hold handglide for a long time tho. Just enough to get ur mills going. You should be able to get 1 rotation in a few days than continuous within a few weeks.

Yeah powermoves are nice, but they are boring if that's all you do. It's called breakdancing. You gotta have some style about yoself. You can't just whip out headspins, 1990s and flares all the time because as impressive as they are, people will get sick of you doing the same stuff over and over. You gotta mix it up with some toprock and some 6 step variations as well as suicides and all that. The best bboys can do powermoves and dance with style and mix it all up together. -

Naw, doing mills while taking your shirt off is hard. -
Date: Tue, Jul 1 2008 03:58:58
6 step, coffee grinder, horrible 2 second flare, baby freezes. Haha thats all I know. oh and the turtle buhh thats it.
Breaking isnt my thing thoo. TURFing and giggin; thats wsuppp. -
Date: Tue, Jul 1 2008 04:07:13
I can six step but personally I like Popping. I think poping looks way coolers and more varity to where breaking doesn't have muvh moves to work with. Popping you can use feet work, hands, and everything else. No offence to b-boys. I still think there amazing for what they do though.
-
Date: Tue, Jul 1 2008 11:04:01
breaking > all
Seriously
and there is no such thing as breakdancing, its either bboying or bgirling or breaking. -

i don't personally break or pop, but I have a friend who's amazing at both and while breakdancing is more flashy, i like popping better. it just looks awesome (like there is no stiffness in the body at all), doesn't require (at least i don't think) as much strength as breaking does, and it can be applied to a lot of music of today.

I'm not too good either, I can do a 3, 4, and 6 step, a very short coffee grinder. But, my friend is in Team Millenia Jrs. and he's really good at b-boying. I learn everything from him.

I respect him cause he can do what he does. But anyone can sit there and learn to spin on their heads. It takes real creativity to work on style. -

True but it also takes creativity to come up with power combos and turn power into your style -

too many e-boys in this thread, can't take seriously
go to some jams and just cypher, you don't even have to 'battle' as in 1v1, 2v2, with judging
raw = cypher
raw = win
therefore cypher = win
therefore go bboy nao KK
oh yeah, it was posted a while back but... 'break dance' 'breakdancing' not a real term, LEARN YOUR HISTORY! *holds up history book instead of FAQ/Wiki*
p.s. popping and bboying not the same thing.. c-walking not the same thing... ballet not the same thing! bboying has been influenced by many other dance styles, onyl difference.. BBOYS/BGIRLS GOT THAT BBOYING/BGIRLING FLAVA! shouldn't mix these dances unless you're doing a hip hop show in my personal opinion. if you pop when you bboy you should have a dominant bboy flava that is definitely recognizable... bboy noodle? and when you pop you should have the HITS... boogaloo... all that shit and not just waves and just do bboy power moves...
peace,
bboy remedy, the mighty midwest and so on -

I know:
-decent toprock (about good 5 toprocks + some variations)
-2 step,3 step, 6 step, 7 step, 12 step (about 2 more variations)
- little bit ofdownrock ( basically cici's because they look sexy when hitting the beats)
-babyswipes, swipes, sloppy master swipes
-many forearm freezes (i can finally hold 2handed flag stall for 10 seconds
)
-two 1990s, around 6 crickets, 2 jackhammers (but always faceplants after >_>)
-no mills, 1 flare <---woot
-my favorite blowup is 1990s > forearm nike (right arm) > headstand > forearm nike (left arm) -

I kinda breakdance. i started 12 days ago. so far. i can toprock, and do a okay looking 6 step
-
Date: Wed, Nov 25 2009 17:47:57
yeah! bboy, i dont break, but i know a couple of moves.. i can windmill, although i know im not doing it right because it hurts my back.. i can top rock and i can do some footwork..
-
Date: Thu, Nov 26 2009 01:38:03
Sigh, eboys.
-
Date: Fri, Nov 27 2009 09:19:59
You two do realize that toprock isn't really a move but more of a natural beatkill to the music? Well at least that's what I think lol
-
Date: Tue, Dec 15 2009 14:38:33
I break i can windmill
-
Date: Wed, Dec 16 2009 22:36:48
I an do the onion grinder, scorpion(no spin), 1 and 2 hand handstand(can link these with onion grinder), windmill, and front flip, I can also do a 6 step but its not that great. Really I prefer parkour/freerunning but bboying is a good inside alternative.
-
Date: Sun, Jan 17 2010 01:53:00
I can do the coffee grinder (some people call it helicopter but idk >.>)
It's the one that all none BBoyers can do lolz
And I can do 2 freezes.
That's it. o.o
I want to learn windmill but cough i dont want to be noob and learn footwork first, and I'm too lazy to learn footwork, so therefore no power tricks lool -
Date: Sun, Jan 17 2010 07:31:05
i wanna learn how to breakdance =)
but i want to skip the toprock/uprock and go straight to footwork & powermoves XD
but that being said, i'm so unfit >.> -

well bboying is definitely started with toprock/uprock and footwork is definitely important... its bad to rush into power moves because theres no dancing put into it to link moves together to make a nice routine.
So far i haven't been practicing but i can do handstand, 6 step, knee drop, swipes, almost backflip -

Date: Thu, May 20 2010 03:23:34
bah, one month before, I can hold off a baby freeze quite well, and a turtle freeze for quite a few measly seconds. My toprock was ,at least, a little bit appealing. Nao, I can barely hold for a simple turtle freeze. And my toprock now is crap D:
