*YAWN*

the guy wins some strenght awards...but honestly... as a former b boy whose seen A LOT of dope shit, this guy was really nothing special. i know a lot of dudes that can do similar stuff. that doesnt discount what he can do, becuase i kno whow hard a lot of that was- i used to do a lot of poses myself and the one/two armed poses were next to imposibble for me...and its just as much balance as it is strength, so yeah it takes some ability to do what he did.... but his actual STYLE was pretty plain if you ask me.

footwork was decent, but pretty run of the mill, i didnt see any uprock in that video, to be a b boy power is great but to me the equation of the best b boys is style>power, not the other way around. i know little, 140 pound dudes that are more entertaining.

again, not that this dude dont got skills cause he does, but me personally, i am not impressed by anything other then his strength and balance.

yeah, same here. but then again i think he was just showing off his strength, balance and physique rather than break dancing.

I understand what yall are sayin though... He ain't hit no halo's, air flare's, or anything like that... And truth your right he didn't do an uprock once... Dude's foot work was aight I know people more entertaining too... But, yo that cat did some shit that had me like damn! When he did his hollowback and twisted his legs around, that was ill!

He did have some nice stalls freezes and style off of hollow backs. Dope clip. Thanks ominous... I used to break and have to say there are a million cats out there with their own style who are just sick... Breaking is an artform that always impresses me cause breakers know they probably will NEVER get anything from doing it. And yet it is ALWAYS evolving. Since I left people been doing multiple air flares like nothing and crazy stalls. They do it for the love.

LOL at Truth for yawning.

I ain't a B-Boy but I scene nuff battles to know when someone went off. He might not be special but I don't know too many cats that can do handstand pushups on their fingertips. And like Boiled said, his freeezes and stalls was bananas.

But I do feel you on the showmanship. He is lacking in performance factor. He should mix it up and then save the strength demonstrations for the climax of his set. Start off basic and then go off at the end or something.

One thing is for sure, there is an obvious difference between a gymnist and a B-Boy/Girl and that's STYLE. This guy was more gym then jam. If he mixed some rhythm into his act to exhibit more style, he'd be the sh*t.


Like P-Gyal said, if you guy shave dope clips too, post them in here.

lol, its been a looooooong time.... i stopped being heavy in the scene when i was about 19 or so. i was never going to be great. i basically had pretty good footwork and GREAT uprock in my day!

aerials, windmills and a lot of poses were my game, basically.

next thing you know, i see airtracks, airflares, halos and im like damn..... these guys are nuts.
