So I recently took up breakdancing. It's pretty sweet and I was just wondering if anyone else does it.

I can do some pretty basic stuff (the backspin, the worm, the locking turn :P etc.). Never took any lessons. Maybe I should've/should. It'd be great to be able to call myself a b-boy.

after beating an opponent at the fussball table instead of shaking hands, I'll usually just bust out a celebratory Robot. that's probably the limit to my ability and desire.

I've never managed the windmill.

I've gotten mostly everything else that I've saught. The wave arts, popping, ticking, etc. The glides, especially circular and sideways. Backspin, dolphin, etc. Lots of stuff.

I haven't break danced since I was like 9 yrs old... then I hit puberty and nothing was the same... my body just couldn't handle it ( getting fatter, bones widening, certain areas increasing ;) )

I still remeber being like 7 yrs old watching the guys break dance on open card board boxes at the skating rink to Montel Williams' "this is how we do it" and anything by Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dog, which then changed to Snoop Dog, now it's just Snoop... like Puff Daddy, to Puffy, to P. Diddy... what next, Dom Diddy Do? :p

Ahhhh, the glorious years of pre-puberty... so young, so energetic, so free!!
sorry, i had to reminisce (y) :o

Much as it might fun fun to watch Montel Williams sing this is how we do it, I think you mean Montel Jordan.

nice :p

Ya i've learned the six step, four step, chain and ball, cc's, handspin, chair freeze, baby freeze, other elevated freezes, backspin, handspin, a decent toprock and some other little stuff. I'm working on the windmill motion but I think it might take a while.

I used to breakdance but a homeless man stole the cardboard that I used for my performances on the sidewalk.
I would like it back but he wrote--Vietnam Vet will work for beer all over it. Because of this unfortunate incident I am now taking a line dancing class.

If that's a true story (I dont' really think it is) That is the second coolest story i've heard in the past week.

Last night I was TRASHED at a frat and I started breakdancing on the floor in their dance room. I ended up biting my tongue and bleeding all over my shirt. But it was sweet. (y)

exactly. Although I still have some pretty Sweet skills.
