ive tried google but im just not skilled enough, i cant find anything good, all i can bring up is free samples of How to or learn to break dance videos

i just wanted to find wicked home/ competition movies of people popping, locking and breaking. its the most insane thing ive ever saw

these are 3 things i found so far

VW ad

dave elsewhere at kollaboration

dave elsewhere at a later kollaboration

this dave elsewhere guy is just insane...its like he has no bones in his body at all, and he has a machine like quality to the way he moves

Judging by the title I thought you were talking about hand-to-hand combat. Color me disappointed. :(

i like how in the first dave elsewhere video he jus looks so unassuming, then he kick those other guys ass with a combination of dancing trickery that doesnt even look possible, how does he move 90 degrees without moving his feet? he just turns android style on the spot

I've met David, he's the buddy of my friend Jacob (a.k.a. Kujo / Flying Buffalo). Nice guy, quiet and unassuming... he doesn't dance that much anymore, but is working on a number of projects. Incredible body control.

You can buy the Detours video and chat with him on the forums here.

VERY cool example. He has some SERIOUS moves!

The move he does at 1min 40 secs you WILL NOT SEE MANY PEOPLE DO AT ALL. Planche push ups!

Holy crap, that guy has to be incredibly strong to do that stuff. I'm pretty strong for my body weight, but even weighing next to nothing, there is no way I could do any of that. Very impressive.

Not just strong but VERY flexible and 'agile'.

Takes quite a lot for a person to do a 'planche'. That is to have your body parallel to the floor and to have your hands on the floor to keep you up. You of course lean forwards as much as you can and try and get your hands to be roughly where your centre of gravity is. MEGA strength in your shoulders is needed to do this. Then the strength in your back, glutes and hips to raise your feet off the floor.

Then the guy does PUSH UPS like this!

Yup that guy is amazing :)

wow, that's amazing. I remember seeing that David Elsewhere video from Kollaboration 2001. I'd say it's better than the later performance.

Everytime I see those really good dancers, my jaw just drops. Those people have to be in ridiculous physical condition to do that stuff.

i think the vw commercial is elsewhere as well. They super imposed that other dudes face on his body.

Damn tomato, hows it feel to meet w/ an old school legend:)

You guys want to see some insane power search for some korean bboys. Bboy Physics in particular has got some INSANE control...

RE: Breakin 2: TURBO AND OZONE 4TW!!!11 Anyone remember that episode of chapelle w/ that guy who was poplocking everywhere, looked just like Turbo (or was it ozone?) hahaha.

found a stream of some koreans, doesnt have physics tho:

you can download "soulseek" www.slsknet.org and go into the "breakdancing", "popping", and "locking" chatrooms and d/l ALOT of videos from people. of course it's always good to share some of your stuff as well =)
