Chris Brown is a Trickster?

[Towlie2110]

I just watched Chris Browns music video for "Gimme that", and In the video he does a 540 kick and an inverted handstand (He can also backflip, but not in the video). I was so surprised when I saw it. It could be a double, but i don't think it was.

I await his new videos to see what else he is capable of.

NEar the end of it, he does the moves.

[shengoikee]

i doubt he's a "trickster" but that was definately a 540. he could do with drilling it a bit thought haha

[0richiu]

that was a fugly 540

[daviddalo]

what the hell is an inverted handstand?

[TKD_Andy]

what the hell is an inverted handstand?

ok right stand up, then put your arms up in the air.

THATS an inverted handstand.

[daviddalo]

woah i can do it :smile: I CAN DO IT!!! Yeahh, I'M A TRICKER

[maxx]

that was a fugly 540

so are alot of peoples on this board.

[Less than Dan]

Hah, yeah, that 540 was quite despicable.

[Alexx]

inverted handstand is like woahh

[Towlie2110]

an invert is when you are like at an angle in a handstand.

[King]

haha, so 540 is a dance move now, sweet :good:

[Towlie2110]

I've been told he does Round Off Backs at every concert. I wonder if he's a secret member on the forum.

U do know that not every trickster is hanging on the TT forum...

[NealBananaPeel]

dudes...

540s are everywhere.

[Inkrepid]

540 is nowadays considered a break dancing move..thats what its become.

[Towlie2110]

yes, but what if he was.

[shengoikee]

towlie, you spaGG! inverted handstand is something me and tkd_andy started saying as a joke haha

[Towlie2110]

hahahhaha, I know shen, but what of all the noobs who think were credible sources.

[shengoikee]

*shakes head*

im also pretty disappointed that 540 is now a breakdancing move :sad:

[TKD_Andy]

tbh breakdancers can do 540s if they want, if thats the kind of standard of 540 that warrants an appearance in a music video, then i can get a job doing them anytime.

[shengoikee]

what i mean is i doubt theyr even gonna attempt to make it look like a kick :eh:

it's like we could get some sort of seperation between a dance (gaymax) 540 and a martial arts 540. i dunno if you can see my point, but ya know i just think throwing 540s when your dancing is pretty stupid.

edit: unless you're ben brown or course

[The DA's List]

eugh.
hollow back is what it's called. inverted hollow back.

[illogick]

seeing as how a 540 is all for show anyway, meaning that it's NOT a combat kick, i don't see why some of you guys are getting your panties in a twist about bboys doing them.

[Towlie2110]

I dunno, I did see a pretty effective 540 kick in action on video once. A real match too. Where the camera guy saw it coming.

[Less than Dan]

I'm just mad because they took such a potentially amazing looking move and butchered it like they did in that video.

[illogick]

are you sure it wasn't a tornado kick? because i've seen a tornado used effectively in a match a couple of times.

[Skilzat85X]

The invert was uglier than the 540.

The 540 isnt a bboy move either now he doesnt even break in that video. He just "hip hop dances" and pops.

[Towlie2110]

and what if he came out and said he was a trickster

[Skilzat85X]

He'd get shunned by the tricking community.

Nah I doubt he would he's too busy being a stupid rapper and crap.

Although, it may boost the popularity of tricking so people will know what it is and stop saying "real life matrix" or some stupid crap.

[Towlie2110]

hahahhaha true. I do hate that.

"Wow ben you look like those crazy asian matrix guys we saw online, right Brett?"

Umm it's obvious that Chris Brown = Anthony Atkins.

[TartanPajamas]

Where in the video is this 540? I don't wanna watch the whole thing, it bugs me.

**EDIT** I've never actually heard of Chris Brown, is he uber famous or something?

**EDIT** That 540 added absolutely nothing to the video.

[Skilzat85X]

It's after the half way mark, maybe about 3/5 of the way in.

[TartanPajamas]

Thanks, but I suffered through and found the 540, as the above edit now states.

[Towlie2110]

He's alright for an r and b singer. But I was like "wow, that seems out of place"

[maxx]

good lord why's this thread still going?

[Ankyro]

Because people keep asking why this thread is still going.

[Towlie2110]

Because people keep asking why this thread is still going.

The reason why most threads stay alive.

[illogick]

why is this thread still going?

The future of breakdancing involves the integration of every tricking move you know. Get used to bboys doing 540s.... btwists, corks, double legs, aerials, 720s and whatever else u think may be unique to tricking.

well remember bboys watched kung fu movies in the 70's an emulated what they saw.

bboys double leg over eahcother all the time...tricksters dont even really do that combo.

[Buro-Suki]

eugh.
hollow back is what it's called. inverted hollow back.

[Hitam]

That was crappy.
Btw, Lil' Wayne is imho one of the best and underrated rappers out there.
But he's one ugly mofo, damn.

A) Practically none of the moves you just named are unique to tricking, especially the aerial.

[Skilzat85X]

Yea in fact all moves in tricking pretty much stem from gymnastics and/or a martial art.

Ok heres something I still dont get, which art did the corkscrew come from?

[Towlie2110]

Yeah, if anything, tricking stole some moves from BBoying.

lol none its a pure trick...ds got taught that move long ago..so its been around for a while but i dont think anyone can name the creator of the move but its a pure tricking move.

tricking stole 90% of its moves and just used them as foundation for better moves.

bboying was purely on its own...when they discovered capoerira is was purely on coicidence..or maybe sumtin on a genetic level(too sciency for u guys) that they were soo similar.

bboy then took martial arts moves cause back in the 70's in the ghettos thats where kids went on saturdays go watch a matinee kung fu flick. And now bboy got ariels.b-kicks/twists.kip up variations and so forth.

theirs a good article i'll try to find on kung fu cinema on this very subject.

I don't think any kind of sport is "stealing" from others. Except maybe like MLM which is a carbon copy of about 2 of them. I mean can't we all just get along, nobody's stealing anything. We're all just coexisting with the same moves.

[Towlie2110]

I didnt mean stealing in the sense that it says in the dictionary, I meant it more like "uses".

You can definately tell a difference between each sport, and that's what seperates them. Cept for MLM, WTF!
