HANDSTAND MOVES AND 1990 SUB-FORUM
This sub-forum is dedicated to Handstand moves and rotations including 1990's and 2000's.

The first version of 1990's was done by Trac2 of Starchild La Roc. This was actually a pirouetted handstand.

The second version of this move was done by Crazy Legs of Rock Steady Crew. He over rotated the pirouette resulting in the one handed spin that we now know as 1990's.

The name 1990 was originally used by Ken Swift to describe a move he had which started as a handstand, came into a slow backspin and sped up to a freeze.
However the name is now used simply to describe spinning on one hand in a handstand position.

Also covered here will be the 2000 version of 1990's (spinning with both hands together)

Hand hops and the one handed version of them.
These moves are also sometimes reffered to as solar eclipses and skyscrapers.

Hollowbacks, inverts and variations on them are covered in the Freezes sub-forum. For help on these moves please go there.


GENERAL RULES
These sub-forums are meant for teaching, learning, discussing and troubleshooting specific parts of the bboy and uprock styles of dance.

Before you post a new thread/topic about a movement, look through the more recent posts and see if it has already been answered.

If you want to learn the move, don't post a thread saying "teach me" - look at the existing tutorials, try the move, and then if you have a specific problem, feel free to ask about it.

DO NOT SPAM.
DO NOT FREEPOST.
DO NOT POST OFF TOPIC.

Anyone breaking those three rules, or giving advice/instruction about a move they clearly do not understand will have their post deleted.

This area (the moves forum) has long been chock-full of bad advice, and people teaching techniques that are totally wrong and at best will slow down your learning drastically, at worse they could lead to serious physical injury.
These new measures are in the best interests of anyone learning moves from this site.

Thanks a lot...

The Mod team.
