Because we don't separate styles like that. Just go to the Word Up, it's all about bboying.

I'll just start off by saying the majority rappers today have no intention of supporting hip-hop culture. If you don't support the culture, then you aren't really hip-hop.

well, i mean a section where ppl post guide and help about abstract style moves.

eg. The moves section, i saw floats, mills, flares etc etc.

Why couldnt there be an abstract section too?

Hmm, you have a point. Guess just because there's never really been a need. We don't get too many abstract bboys coming through here.

Make a thread for abstract moves help or something then. Nothings stopping you if you put it in the right place.

there are a few bboys I know on here that are into that style, just not many.

flexible style? i've seen people asking about stuff like that, i try to incorperate it into my style, but abstract bboying (if i understand what you're talking about) is extremely rare due to the fact that you need to be flexible as shit. first time i kicked my foot behind my head it hurt so much i cried...

I don't consider abstract style as only flexible stuff, because it focus a lot on threading and less on foundation like Bboy wing.

wing has a very origional style of footwork, where he focuses on a bit of threading, wrap arounds, and his flavor. I like it, but it's not focused largly on threading

if you want advice on it, just make a thread in the moves forum. theres a main section if you scroll down to post advice instead of going to the subforums (power, floats, etc)

Absract covers many types of moves. I mean take a look at bboys like megas, hong 10 or wing most bboys wouldnt consider them absract but in my opinion they are. Everybody is always trying to be inovattive and do shit that no one has ever seen before so every bboy/bgirl is abstract in thier own way:P
