May I suggest Hitting when your trying to Dimstop. Example; Pop as normal then quickly hit all the body parts which are able to be hit (Chest, Arms, Legs). This allows you to stop quickly rather than some people who just stop as normal without Hitting. Try it out. Remember that you aren't gonna get this in a snap, it takes time and practice. Good luck.




I am the definition of action.

know where you want your freeze to happen beforehand. if you try to dimestop without some planning, it will look wobbly. also, try gradually flexing going into the stop, then accentuate it with a sharp hit when you start moving again. it adds a cool effect like pressure is building up inside your body, and when you start moving again it is all released at once.




Everyone was a beginner at some point.
