Date: Sat, Sep 4 2010 06:30:23
Too bad I have to lose weight to do this stuff. I can do some of the basics but I have no endurance of sorts :(
-
Date: Sat, Sep 4 2010 07:01:00
Can u guys give me any tips? :] im kinda having trouble with my turtle freeze :p and also wat are some good down rock thinks to kno?
-
Date: Sat, Sep 4 2010 14:06:57
@Ryamashiro i had trouble with the turtle too, but you probably need to bend your legs and bring them in, while leaning forward and bringing your legs up, this will help your balance and give you some room. And also to make it look better try not to have your head down but keep it up it looks much better And dont forget to stretch your wrist :p
-
Date: Sat, Sep 4 2010 17:08:31
:O thanks you! i can kinda do it x) ish

What tutorials did you guys use? :D
-
Date: Sat, Sep 4 2010 23:23:19
For toprocking i used the videos from Bboy B.yu. Either than that, i just watch some people bboy and learn that way and look up tutorials for things. I also joined www.bboy.org. pretty helpful.
-
Date: Sat, Sep 4 2010 23:55:23
which one did you watch first? Or rather which move should you learn first?
-
Date: Sun, Sep 5 2010 02:20:25
It depends what you like. I started out with the basic top rock from bboy b.yu's tuts. the part 1 into guide thingy. I believe that the toprocking is like the first thing you should understand cause it helps you go with the beat. After that, with sufficient enough of toprocking just enough to understand and hit beats, i'd go to the 3 step and the 6 step. They are fairly easy but need a lot of practice to do very well and appealing. That's what i'm currently practicing.

Ryan, go to freestylerz that should solve all your problems.

-
Date: Sun, Sep 5 2010 15:09:44
Yeah his tuts are a bit difficult to understand but you will understand it if you practice more. I like his style though.

-
Date: Tue, Sep 7 2010 00:18:42
Yeah, you should be practicing on hard surfaces. Some people bboy in their garage or outside on tons of cardboard taped down

ight so u want endurance correct? if yes then this is wat u need to do. 1 do push ups. nd if possibl do bboy push ups. or do handstands and have ur feet against the wall so u wont fall back. then juss stay up for as long as u can hold. this works. we call em bboy drills at my school. -
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 05:47:32
Ohh. Thanks! I'll try em tomorrow and probably try to handstand pushup against the wall. Thanks!
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 12:37:00
but wat can u do? like 6step, 3step?
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 14:30:39
@itzDaKine i can do 6step 3, ci cis, and some other stuff. Very little though. I've been working on my toprock
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 14:31:02
6-step 3-step 12-step CCs, swipes, anddd i think thats it
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 16:11:31
@Tetsip. thats good. nd toprocks r actually really important... unless u plan to be a Powerhouse. but check out bboy.org. thats a great place for tutorials n help
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 16:14:05
@ Wonder if u have swipes then thats actually really good. u should learn hand hops or 1990's or 2000's next.
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 16:34:51
@itzDaKine uhhh im sure im really not good enough for that yet... the swipes where you are on the ground like footwork? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC6xWmmMKBo#t=1m16s like these, or are they called something else --- and im not very good at them haha
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 16:55:27
@Wonder um i ddnt see swipes in that vid. but heres one on how to do em Swipes Tut with Scotty Nguyen
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 16:56:35
@itzDaKine those are MASTER swipes AKA AIR swipes, i was talking about the swipes the guy did in the video at that point, theres a difference
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 16:59:55
The swipes 'that guy' did in the video are the same. They are just smalled. My bro does either or when he feels like it. In those he just did little ones. All you have to do really is just get more air. Otherwise that's the only difference.
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 17:01:47
@Wonder master swipes are basically the same thing as swipes. the only difference is how u start off the swipe.
-
Date: Mon, Sep 27 2010 15:41:55

-
Date: Fri, Oct 8 2010 22:08:45
I think being committed is the hardest part of bboying Like me for example, me and tetsip recently started up getting our basics down... so as i was seeing my toprock and stuff, i noticed how crappy it looked I wasn't trying to dance to the music, i was just trying to do what i saw in the video of how to do certain toprocks, and i thought to myself "ill never get good at toprock i may aswell just try to get footwork and move to power, who cares about toprock" but i started practicing more in the past few days and I've really grown to enjoy the music and feel it, and let my body incorporate what i learned to just being myself. I am much more confident in my toprock now since i was just going to practice outside, and i can just feel that it looks better --- rather than trying to stay in constantly videotaping myself or looking in a mirror, because that does not help
-

Date: Fri, Dec 10 2010 02:42:27
@whysosrs Popping =/= bboying xD Make a thread for popping because people dont usually refer popping with bboying thus you will get no where in this thread unless there are bboys who also pop which you may have been getting to. Im trying to learn but its hard as hell especially when you're so used to moving around so much.
-
Date: Fri, Dec 10 2010 14:01:46
waaaaa....still no progress on freezes. even at handglide =.= gotta practice this sembreak!

Read the fucking quote dude. OBVIOUSLY there are bboys who also pop. Look at Expression Crew. WELL OH SHIT. they pop and bboy. I am very aware of Poreotics. Next time read. I'm just saying that it is more efficient to make a thread SOLELY on popping/locking. -

lol, I can't kick my legs hard enough to do a handstand. So slooooow...
-
Date: Thu, Jan 6 2011 10:24:31
Just kick as hard as you can. If you fall over, you fall over. You're not going to hurt yourself if you fall over unless you totally spazz and overthink it. You dont really need to kick that hard. Like I can do handstands really slow. You just need control and core strength

bboy.org start with toprock, footwork, use youtube
-
Date: Fri, Jan 7 2011 10:39:46
I heavily stress upon top rock and footwork. There are many people out there who can't toprock for shit. Which makes them look retarded. Also footwork is very important. That's like your 'upgrade' once you finish your toprock. If you can pull out a good toprock and sweet footwork, no one can complain shit even when compared to power moves.
-
Date: Fri, Jan 7 2011 10:42:37
^this. I have shitty toprocks, man :P

Date: Sat, Jan 8 2011 03:50:57
The hardest part of bboying is determination. I am now more determined than ever, due to progress every time i make progress, i get pumped up and keep practicing more and more Finally manned up and got my backflip down, it feels pretty good.

I tried to doing a handstand without a wall, and blam, banged my head on the door. :(
-
Date: Mon, Jan 10 2011 07:45:31
@TheAafg or if you fail to toprock and fail with footwork maybe you can be a power head. i quit bboying though:/ it was fun but then school came up and bit my ass! but yes foot work, toprocks are very important unless ur a power head like i said before. but when you do anything in bboying throw your own flavor into it. style is also big. and choose good songs to practice to! nithing to fast nd nothing to slow. nd HIT THE BEAT! always hit the beat! that is what truly is KEY! killing the beat! your top rocks and foot work dont mean shit if you aint got rhythm dawg!!
-
Date: Mon, Jan 10 2011 10:14:51
How does "creativity" fit in toprock? I don't seem to get it. Yeah, feel the music and all, but I don't get it. Attitude???? Perhaps it's because of my "wallflower" personality :(

Date: Mon, Jan 10 2011 12:49:35
ohh thanks a lot
-
Date: Mon, Jan 10 2011 20:48:51
@itzDaKine even with power, you still need foundation. as a power head you will get respect, but it won't help in battles without foundation.
-
Date: Tue, Jan 11 2011 01:50:05
@Wonder which is somewhat true. most the bboys i know are tur power heads. they have toprocks and footworl but in battles and at practice i never see them do it. its always power. but only indian step is really needed for power heads.

i am just looking at what the toprock looks like, i am not capable enough to copy him lol
-
Date: Thu, Jan 27 2011 21:43:58
yes it's called biting just learn what the toprock is, know it well enough so you dont have to think about it. Then just play around with the toprock, it's simply a dance. feel the music and mess around it doesnt matter how bad it looks

its fine if your shoulder hurts, that means you're doing it right. Just wear a jacket or something so you can lessen the impact and make it a smoother collapse -

-
Date: Sun, Feb 27 2011 03:11:28
@catfish stretch stretch stretch! your wrists are very important in this. You HAVE to stretch them. otherwise, its all practice. Just practice holding the hangglide freeze for a while and you will build the strength

1) no its not the only thing I do, it just takes a long ass time to gt good flares, and I want to use them as a base for power, so that I can go into othwr moves with a flare. 2) I dont wanna do leg splits because I like the way it looks with how much I spread now, it works fine -

Practiceeeeeeeeeeee a lot. Check my channel, the "bored" video. when you figure it out you can hold it as long as your arms can take it, in the video I had to stop because my arrms started hurting. The trick is to use your fingers, you can see how I grip the floor in the hollowback vid -

bboy byu gogogogogogo and like the thing about toprock is that you should just feel it and do whatever, it shouldnt be you having to think about doing a routine -

k umm, to sum it up, style is you dancing and feeling the music, but there's nothing you can say is a definition of style. Style usually is like footwork, toprock, just grooving to the music, doing whatever you want, there's no set definition to what bboying is, but the main fact of style is that you're DANCING to the music, actually feeling it. Basically anything else that's not power lol. thats a poopy explanation so i guess go to bboy.org if you want someone to explain it to you, and while you're there read the comprehensive bboy guide -

for now work on toprock and footwork. keep practicing those forever, you never stop improving footwork. start handstands IMMEDIATELY. practice them every day, you will need to be able to do a handstand. then learn handglide freeze while you're at it, i learn everything at the same time it's more efficient. learn some basic freezes, go learn windmill if you want, learn whatever you want to learn it doesnt matter, just dont forget about the fundamentals of bboying. i didnt really have an order of what i learned i just was like doing handstands and tryign handglide while i did that, i learned toprock, basic footwork which i still need to work on. i went on with windmills, after a windmill i got a flare, and then from there it doesnt really matter, you'll understand when you get there, its not really about learning its about being a bboy the order i learned i dont -

STYLE is how you express yourself through your bboing. The two main ones are powerheads and styleheads. There are also people who do other things such as blowups.. but calling them blowup heads is quite strange. I'll start out with examples and such. Powerheads. Powerheads focus on moves that require lots of skill and "power". Such tricks can be quite difficult to master and are usually very flashy. Prime examples are airflares, windmill variations, flares, and 1990s/2000s. For example, when I think of powerhead, first person i think of is bboy The End (or KYS). The End does INSANE powermoves. Moves that are RIDICULOUS. The amount of power that man hold is clearly... over 9000. [video=youtube;LWA7ztS0iMw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWA7ztS0iMw[/video] Style is a bit more tricky. Style requires a lot of time in developing it. [B]Style is a bboy's unique way of expressing[/B]. Typically styleheads are VERY expressive in their emotions, which is solely reflected in their style. Its very difficult to explain style, but easier to show. When I think of style I think of bboy Cloud. bboy Cloud is amazing on the floor. Each of his moves are shown in unique ways, even the moves he uses are very unique and are pretty much set to him. For example, his king spins. I have not seen anyone else do king spins except him. If you continue to watch him more on his videos on youtube, you'll notice that he has trademark moves that are quite difficult. Same goes with bboy the end. That man does INSANE moves, prolly his most insane that i always remember is his transitions from jackhammers to airflares. I donno much about the end cause i dont watch him a lot... but if you ask @Wonder he would know. This is cloud. He prolly has the best style of all bboys imo. [video=youtube;eDSLLIi-2NI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDSLLIi-2NI[/video] Also other people have their unique styles respective towards their name. I love bboy casper for his footwork and such. [video=youtube;qjBgT0YKcp8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjBgT0YKcp8[/video] There's also the "blowup" heads. Blowups use a lot of strength and balance because blowups usually target freezes, handstands, one hand hand hops, elbow handhops yadadadada, and transitions from freezes like from: Turtle >headstand>one hand handstand > handhops. Like the first portion of this video. [video=youtube;SmMEgeO2cVI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmMEgeO2cVI[/video] jajaja i kinda explained everything bad. But in the end, no style prevails over the other. But equality between all in one prevails... jejeje -

it looks alright from the legs but what you dont understand is that toprock isn't just about doing a certain step, it's just feeling the music. So your arms, your body, your head, everything is incorporated into your toprock. arms are a big piece of toprock because people aren't just gonna be staring at your legs while you're breaking, they're going to be looking at YOU, your whole body. so post another vid with a full view and just let loose :p [video=youtube;uL49nqPrql8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL49nqPrql8[/video] barrels again -

Hey how do you transition from a handglide to a baby or a chair freeze? I got them down but i don't know how to link them. My arm always gets stuck when i try to transition to the baby or chair from handglide. Do i have to push myself up to get to the stab spot of the baby?

i can do a head stand, and im like 180 lbs ^^; it gives me a headache sometimes lol. I practiced since last winter though, but i JUST got the confidence to get balance for it. I need to bring up my legs to make it an actual headstand, cuz for now its pretty much a tripod without my arms supporting my legs. My toprock is ok, my footwork is probably bad and sloppy from no practice. The next day i can practice would probably be tomorrow.

Why? Because at first it was just guys, they were bboys, the name of the dance was bboying. Yes, girls came along, but they weren't going to change the name of the game for some bullshit gender entitlement, besides bboy sounds a lot better than bperson. Nobody's outing you, it's just a goddamn name. When we say "mankind" we know that includes all of humanity /end sass -

actually when someone says "mankind" i assume they mean all people; men = everyone , males = gentlemen , females = women. and please. calm down. breathe in, breathe out. count to 10 in your head. okay. -

that's not even close to comparable I'm talking about nomenclature and what defines the dance, you're talking about how things were done in a country and how the people acted. pls try not to cut yourself on that edge -

That's like trying to compare "I don't think it should be called a bathroom anymore because it's not just for baths" to "I think we should stone people to death if they sin" anyway nomenclature bullshit aside -

you don't really get this, but -- i didn't really expect you to. does calling a bathroom a bathroom offend anybody? do you have any other proposals as to what to call it? if so, tell me what i should call it, and i'll go ahead and use that term. and how is stoning somebody because they sin even related to this -_- we're talking about misnomers here, in case you haven't noticed. -

@cl3ud.kr like darkrowl says, this is getting to be off topic (and kind of bitter). please stay on topic and try to avoid getting too caught up in the interpretations of the name.

I only brought up something like that because you brought up slavery... If I remember correctly I said a few posts back that we're talking about nomenclature, literally exactly what you just tried to throw on me -

okay you didn't get the point of the post but -- the point was that our country changed, and for the better good. was slavery not offending to the Africans? it's offending to everyone else who practiced slavery. it's an abomination of human rights. and um. while i was talking about slavery, did i say anything about the naming of slavery? i said that we changed. -
