Yo!

Your second video didn't come up, but I would recommend practicing with music with a pretty high bpm and relax a bit - have fun. Also try doing something different with your arms instead of the same thing. Hope for the best bro!

Peace.

hah, relaxin, that's what everybody says to m, yeah, thanks. The second vid i thnk it's already fixed.

i see the prob. 1st video it was your arms 2et video when you kick your leg out put your foot on the back of your leg and it will look alot beter

It actually looked pretty decent to me, especially if you only been trying for a week. Only think id have to say is maybe try and loosen up a little which would show more if you had music, and maybe try to make your arms, and such seem a little more comfortable, like look ahead of you when you toprock, and try to keep your arms doing something unique like taunting or feeling the beat (when you have music). Otherwise it looks like its coming out pretty nice.

uhhh your arms need to move with the feet to create rhythmic motions, style, and originality
toprocking and footworking, you want to relax as in you want to listen to the music
and have confidence in your ability and skill
make it so that the music and your body flow together so that it looks natural and fluid
watch a lot of videos and i recommend practicing in front of a mirror

keep bboying

Mxlt · 06-29-2009, 08:26 AM

thanks to everybody
i don't usually have a mirror, maybe 3 times a week, but the other 4 days i have to practice without. I'll try to practice with music when i don-t have mirror then. Thanks!

1st vid was a premature kick step not indian step. Ur progressing. Not bad keep working at it. Try with music. ask me if u need examples of good toprock music. Try not to do toprock with feet flat on the ground. Look at diffrent people toprock and develop ur own baseing it off their. Before u ask Here it is... as MaDD said it..

Good luck and have fun.

yeah, heh.

yeah developing your own style takes a lot of time. you gotta learn to feel the beat/music first then you'll find the liberty to dance and have fun with it. keep up the hard work.

Mxlt · 06-30-2009, 12:19 AM

music is a little problem...i'll try to put some music. Cuz i like it loud, but i live in a buildin, and when i go somewhere else to train (just monday to wednesday i can go somewhere that's not home) , the music is not really loud. And u here other sounds.

hehe, but thanks for everythin, i actually felt more confortable today when i was trainin, and really felt i could do better. and i combined my 6 steps with kick step (is that how's called?) and then baby freeze, even though i fall afterwards cuz i don't freeze right when i go to fast. but anyways, combined somethin! (still can't go from toprock to footwork though....)

einrebx3 · 06-30-2009, 02:39 PM

im a noob., so idk if its just me. & it might be xP buuut
to meeeeeeee
it looks like your just stepping in the first video

like everyone else saysssss
music is needed
its very important in toprock
you need it to feel the beat
hit the beat
own the beat
lolol yeah stuff like that
just keep practicing (: & you'll do good i promise

Mxlt · 06-30-2009, 06:49 PM

i agree with what u said, heh...seemed like walkin

, thanks

Post another video with music, but.......Move your arms, and get loose because it seemed a little robotic. It looks like your watching yourself move, just let it flow. Variate, and keep practicing and practicing. Keep going(^__^)!
