B-Boying

[[RozoN]]

Not that so much tricking related, but move the topic, if you see it necessary.

Anways, what are your views on B-Boying? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Have you tried it? If not, would you like to try it? Are you a dance person at all? Etc. etc...

Just tell about your relationship to b boying, damn it.


Personally, I think b-boying looks amazing and is extremely cool. Unfortunatelly, I was born white and lame, with no sence of rythm or style. That's why I can't dance for shit and stick to tricking. :tongue:

[Safari]

Love it! Best thing there is besides Tricking when it comes to movement. Sex is also very high rated but in an other way.

I did bboying when I was "young" so I'm still doing some, but not any good for my tricking because my powermoves etc. is in the wrong direction of my tricking but! I'm trying to figure out how to use it anyways.

[saunders]

i've started bboying and tricking later but slowly dropped bboying.
i was just too lazy to practice toprocking. i still want to get back into it because i absolutely love how some ppl toprock. i want to be able to move like that someday

im still in love with the hiphop culture and the music tho. funk/soul/hiphop is just the best music ever.

but damn practicing bboy moves is just so different to tricking. in tricking you throw yourself in the air spinning a couple of hundred times praying to land, whereas in bboying you have to keep a constant flow of momentum going which is so fucking hard. it's like over 9000 things you need to keep in mind when doing flare - 'oh this leg should go up then the other as well and then uhh this leg goes under that one and uhh fuck i forgot to keep this leg up lol'

[Origional]

bboy moves (and not just power moves) are staple in my combos.

That looks like an exact copy og how I'm related to bboying and hip hoptoday :tongue: except I've started training some again

[Dark Twista]

I am a hardcore bboy. But I damaged my wrist so it's hard for me to do stab freezes powermoves. I think I am going to drop it for a bit and just trick.

[Reim]

I love bboying. Not only is culture and history, but the act of it itself. I am also born without rhythm, but bboy is the reason why Ive been trying to correct that and learn how to dance. It's really difficult though, I find that I always try to get into training to be a bboy, but just never do. Tricking is my main shtick, but I would love to be a bboy.

And to me bboying an breakdancing are very different things.

[gabrielb]

bboying has been my life since 03..i stopped for a while to get my blackbelt. but i've come back to it...i work on it everyday. I've been very much into putting tricking heavily into my bboying and more than most...like i use hook swingthrough sideswipe,jacknives,c-1080 into my bboying.

i'm very much involved in my boston scene and have started to throw bboy jams at my college. I'm going to be throwing it again this spring..we call it spring breakin. Its kinda funny how i knew people through tricking and is still connected to bboying. me and trevor met in tricking but were dumbfounded when we found out we're both into bboying..it didnt come up in the convo when we met. my first bboy battle..if u wanna call it that was against bboy chem(jesters bro) and he very much smoked me..haha back in like 03/04. i love bboying to death and can't see myself not apart of it.

[Deezy(LoOpk!cks)]

I think it's more than a coincidence that today's most notable trickers have experience in artforms centered around dance - be it breaking or capoeira.

Anis - both
Jeremy - Bboy
Danny Graham - Capoeira
Ott - Bboy [judging from the Denmark Street Battle]
Sesshou - Capoeira

This isn't even mentioning all of the Brazilians :tongue:

[Skilzat85X]

I love B-Boying but my wrist has been so screwed that I've been unable to do almost all of it haha. I need to work on footwork and such more though, but not until my legs are healed. I'm dying!

[Origional]

Something that has really helped my style evolve is (in short/ the crappy condensed version) is thinking of tricking as areal bboying. By combining this with other mindsets I feel I have come up with something all my own. This is also to blame for the fact that msl are in over 85% of all my combos :P

Don't get too hyped up, I suck lol. Expect something within the next two months:cool:

[TricksterBee]

I was exposed to bboying last year, and love it.

[Anima]

It's cool, but I get way more satisfaction landing a new Trick than gaining a new skill in BBoying.

[Abrexas]

i've considered bboying in the past, but i just stick to tricking. I would love to get things like flares, and at my gym i work on them every once in a while, but overall i prefer tricking. I'm another one of those rhythmless white guys so tricking comes to me a little better. Props to those that can do both, it's impressive stuff.

[Reim]

Can I piggy back this thread to ask for some beats? Download links if possible.

[Torre]

I absolutely love bboying, and if it weren't for capoeira, I'd be doing it already. Hopefully in the future I'll have some time to get into it.

[[RozoN]]

By all means Reim. I'd like to have some "bboy music" myself :smile:

[Torre]

Lots of tracks here, don't know about the quality, though.

[[RozoN]]

ahhh...thanks, Torre :smile:

Edit: I can now preform an ugly and clumsy six step :good::smile:

[Torre]

Good job :good:

[rocketbaz]

you can stay but only because of your "heart-giving" - personality.

[Bjan]

Well b4fore i knew of tricking i used to love Breakdancing, its pretti sick how they can balance of arms and stuff like that and it takee very long and determination to get a move, esp power. but its not as impressive or better then tricking. i like the dancing tho, looks sweet, crunk looks sick aswell ahah

[rocketbaz]

:D yay. but i still hate bboying^^

[Safari]

Get out! *pointing strictly to the right* hahahahah!

[[RozoN]]

me and safari is always argumenting with eachother about bboying.... it's GAY and he doesn't get it! :D

hahaha :tongue:. Baz, why do you think it's gay? Don't you think it looks cool with all the underground/Hip-hop/gangsta esque stuff? Not to mention the incredible strenth, balance and creativity they portray...

How do you feel about dance in general? :smile:

[rocketbaz]

since i can't dance for shit i never care about dancing :P and i've never liked bboying... the whole attitude thingy is ghey as hell

[[RozoN]]

Without trying to sound like I want to rape his ass, Bboyaguas top rocking in his sampler at about 1:20 kicks ass http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8bJFD5raao0

i know haha. i'd love to integrate more bboying in my combos as well.
like toprock>drop>footwork>scoot>boxcutter or something.

[dpitlock]

I took break dancing when I was young, way before karate. I can still do a couple things but they are all to my right side, when I trick everything is completely to the left.

[gabrielb]

since i can't dance for shit i never care about dancing :P and i've never liked bboying... the whole attitude thingy is ghey as hell

what about the attitude is gay. cuz its silly to think its nessisary to dance...nor is the battle aspect nessisary to do the dance.

[n3m3s1s]

I was a bboy a looooooooong time ago. Don't know why I stopped ...

[Torre]

You strayed from the light, that's why :tongue:

[tuareg]

i started practising flares and whatnot some time ago, still need to work on those.

airflare is my motherfuckin dream.

[Torre]

Good luck! A bboy friend who can do 20+ flares both sides told me it took him 2 years of consistent practise to get there :eh: And he can barely do an airflare, though his focus is style, not power.

[Jon P]

Bboy is awesome.
It is fun, creative, stylish and helps to build strength and flexablity.
I only ever tried a couple power moves [want to try more] but I used to trick with bboys at the gym and at UW when we would train. They were always feeding off of us and we were feeding off of them. Cool culture. :good:

[BboyAgua]

If you did want to rape, I would be honored :tongue:. Thx much Skippzorz. But we all know I sux. In the immortal words of the all-knowing baz:

that was probably the most boring sampler i've ever seen... i hate bboying

If you have a fav bboy or fav bboy track, post em up! Contributing after I return from the gym =D

[Less than Dan]

I like watching bboying a lot, but I'm really only interested in the power moves. The culture and the 'style' that a bboy needs to possess is beyond me.

I can flare and windmill, and learning those was a fun experience that was unlike learning any other tricks. The flare actually came sooner to me than the mill, haha, but they really do take a lot of time and patience to learn. Bboying takes an impeccable amount of timing, speed, and coordination that, quite frankly, tricks lack.

I most certainly agree with you, Dan.

thanks for the heads up!

we'll see how it is since i haven't practised for about a week :eh: although i'm on my way to getting my planche back and other gymnastic holds are again consistent, so i'm making up for it i guess.

Baz here - what? i really don't have a fav bboy since i hate it :P naah i don't really hate it. i just don't enjoy it. i can accept that some things are very difficult and everything im not stupid (ok i lied) but mostly i just.. no no love for bboy :P

Cool cool! Keep the beats coming though. Thanks!

I honestly could care less about getting power moves at this point. I can trick, those will fill that void for me right now. I want to learn how to DANCE.

[gabrielb]

my favorite break beats or songs at the moment are:

jem-they
eruption-funky lover
edwinn starr-war

[Origional]

My favorite beat
cooking for pump-kin by benny benassi
I swear everything that mans touches is gold and this just happens to be his super 78 minute mega project

They have this on itunes for 99cents:pirate:

I don't care if you don't like my bboying. If you were the best race care driver I wouldn't care, cuz I hate race car driving.

But I like your tricks (especially double btwist). Wish you would like mine, cuz I also do tricks yenno. :worry:

[bOlli]

[Torre]

As for bboy music, I prefer songs and instrumentals like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTPx-ENoNBY

edit: and pretty much anything by James Brown and similar artists from that era.

edit2: I almost forgot this one:
