Hey... Common... Who here likes break dancing????

[hpkeeper]

Man... those guys really move... I was watching the Music video to "Jump around" the live version that Limp Bizkit did.. and they had a couple guys break dancing.... does anyone know how to do that stuff??? That's nuts... they're all over the place... whenever I see them flyin' all around like that I think of the Olympics and some of these guys look like you'd see them doing a floor routine or something... Can anyone here do that stuff???? where/How did you learn???

And A question for all Anandtechians... Isn't that stuff awesome????

 

[Static911]

Some kids do it at my school at the dances. They are pretty good, but not nearly the calibur or some of the people in some clips of break dancing I've seen. I have tried it, but I don't think my tricepts are strong enough. It's fun...I just can't sustain it for very long.

Almost all the breakers at my school belong in the Asian Club, which is basically known as the Asian/Breakin Club now. Good upper body strength is needed, as well as having little fear of breaking your neck or another bone.

Man, if any of you guys are ever in New Orleans, you'll have a chance to see the best breakdancers in the world. There's this group of about 5 guys who started off as regular street performers, but now attract huge crowds. They do all the regular moves, and have incorporated all kinds of cool stunts into their show too. At one point, a guy jumps a bike over the four other guys (laying down) with no ramp! He just jumps, and the bike goes with him! They also incorporate alot of humor in their show. They perform on Decatur St. across from Jackson Square almost every weekend in the late mornings/early afternoons. If you're ever in New Orleans, be sure to check them out!
