    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.

    As of now, I think you should focus more on style rather than power.

    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. laugh.gif

    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.

    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.

    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. biggrin.gif

  20. BananaKetchup
    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 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,

    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 happy.gif)
    -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)

    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

  60. saigyoji
    Date: Tue, Dec 15 2009 14:38:33

    I break i can windmill crickets ,jackhammers ,flares , 1990s, 2000s, airtracks, flagspin, planche hollowback, invert hollow, side hollow tons of footwork and havnt even been breaking a year i love jackhammers

  61. Pyroshima
    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.

  62. L2PlayNoob
    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

    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

    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:
