Calm down, breakdancing is only really a small part of tricking. How many good tricksters can you name that windmill, flair and 1990?

There's really not that many bboying moves used in tricking. L-kicks are probably the most common I guess, but there's already a tricking variation for that. Seriously, powermoves like flares and airflares are really only a small part of bboying and if you started doing footwork after a tricking set it would look weird.

Though knowing how to bboy helps. The upperbody rotation learned in hopping mills made it a lot eaiser to learn spin tricks.

I will explain why I said shut up... As to not sound like a complete asshole.

Breakdancing does NOT exist in tricking, except for a few moves: masterswipes, windmills and Au Batidos.

Breakdancing is a DANCE. It has a style and it's not based on tricks, but on fluidity and coordination. That's why people that do alot of powermoves in bboying are looked down upon as having no style.

Tricking is a form of martial arts expression. It's based on offensive looking techniques as part of combos. The basis of tricking is tricks.

Breakdancing is not part of Tricking. By saying that, you're implying that Breakdancing is a style of Tricking, which it is not.

So not only are you disrespecting Tricking by not knowing what it's about, but you're also disrespecting Breakdancing by thinking it's all about the tricks.

Windmills are NOT a part of tricking. They are a part of breaking, PERIOD. Even if you do them and you're a tricker, they still originated directly from break dancing and are labeled as purely a break dancing move.
The tricking masterswipe is nowhere near as skillful or good looking as the break dancing masterswipe.
The Au Batido isn't really in breaking that much, they do the L Kick or Nike, which are in fact different.

There are entire communities dedicated solely to break dancing, you can join those. And I'm sure Juji doesn't practice break dancing. And break dancing incorporates a lot more than just the same single power moves over and over.

Steve Terada.

On another note, Cicero is exactly right. Also, dont necessarily incorporate Capoeira with breaking because the two are greatly different as well (similar moves though, but these are a bit different, such as 1990s, Hollow-backs, and various freezes).
