i'm having some prblems learning to get from all my toprock to starting my footwork. this problem is really bothering me because first of all when i go down it looks UGLY AS HELL. second off all it affects my whole breakdancing in a whole. my only good way to start is by doing trip swipes. i just bring my right foot all the way back and sweep it in for the swipe. from there i can smoothly transition into my fopotwork. does anybody know any moves that will help me start off my breaking as well as my trip swipes do???????????

Try a kneedrop, not an ugly one, work it into your tops. Or you could do a coindrop. Those would work too. You could also go into your footwork like starting a flare, and sweep into footwork instead of a flare. Or you could do a flare, and go into footwork, those work a lot better.

when the music hits the beat, you can just bend your knees and drop down. it's the simplest way to drop. do it quickly so that you dont take up 2 beats.

Theres guides on this forum for drops. WHy start another thread?

But like sirrah said, try doing a fancy knee drop. Try instead of going straight down with it, to fall forward and twist your bod so you fall straight into six step.

hey what up?

what i do is i start my uprocks and toprock then i get into a knee drop(put right leg behind left knee then drop on to left knee) then i start doin my groundwork.

as sirrah said you could sweep into it as if you were about to start flares. you could do it so theright foot goes under left fot and you are in a press-up position, or if you support yourself with your hands properly, you can do an extra 180 degrees with your sweep and end up with legs in front of you, ready for swipes. also, you could roll back quickly and as soon as your shoulder blades hit the floor, go for a kip-up. when/if you land, you shopuld be crouching so you can place your hands in front of you, slide your feet back quickly and you are in good position for footwirk. also, you could start a forward roll from your toprock, but kip-up when your shoulders, or even head, touch the floor. doing a kipup with only head and hands touching the floor looks more impressive and isnt at all that hard. its more like a headspring or something like that than a kip-up though, but it's still easy and you will still get that crouching landing

there is one
i use some times when you stop toproking try to stop when your legs are together then slide one of your legs to the side
adn turn your body a lil put one of your hands on the floor
and then slide thry (between your other leg and your hand) on your knee and start your footwork. doesnt look dat ugly

PS damn my English sucks

3 beats:

spin drop > helicopter > kneedrop. it looks dope.

[b-Race]

Spin Drop? like a knee drop with a 180 or am I up the wrong tree?

[bboy tekniqal]

you know how you go down for uprock? on the down beat, lean to one side and kick out to the other... commence sixstep, threading, CC's, and just about anything else.

It's in one of my videos. I don't know which one though.

[sparkmage_A99]

suicides, baby suicides, fall downs, and handprings all get you there.

[Bboy.ecS]

i do this sometimes, fall forward and do a spin, then catch urself then do a swipe so ur keeping the spinn going, them ur in a position where u can do ur footwork

frpm a basic top rock when u right foot crosses left put ur left behind thenright so ur squared up, go down and do ur footwork

[bboy-hypernova]

oh try a bfly or something

jump up really high, and make it a dive but instead of diving into a handstand, buffer it with ur arms and just land like a worm
it can look cool if u get really high and start turning before u even hit the floor
