preatty slow footwork, and not smooth, you need put a lil 6step, 3step in it. i saw a switch, and a 3step. but thats not that much, put a swipe into it. make it look better, and learn going cw and ccw for 3step and 6step, make it better. and for a freeze, do a 3 step stop then while left leg out put right over it but curved then lean over and put elbow in hip lean over, and act like youre running in air, it aint bad. and if you learn howto put swipes into footwork you can learn to put 90's and hollow backs from it. its preatty cool. just practice.

lmao very helpful

try palms up fingers down, keep your ass and feet close together and use your toes for both tops and floorwork

don't slouch your upperbody too much, keep it level if possible. i'd stick to just six steps and switches for now, keep it up

[.:eU)2o-Boi:.]

what can i say...... keep on practicing and you'll be better

hey man.... ok try this bro.

turn your body and do footwork like..... do footwork with your stomach facing the ground, and then turn to the right so your back is facing the ground, and at the same time bringing leg under. (For instance, when you turn your body to the right from your back to your stomach, bring left leg underneath...)just try it and u will see what i mean. From there you can Pompo (bring left leg infront of right leg, but not coffee grinding... etc) hope that isnt confusing , if it is just keep readin and hopefully ull see what I mean. Also when you flip over to the stomach and back sides, flip in different ways like left and right, don't always flip one way.

Ok now also you did some repeating, what u did with the left leg is cool but right after u do that thing with it where u bend ur left legs knee and put it behind right leg, u should try to switch legs and do the same thing, or something... if u know what i mean.

Footwork is all about flow and different body and feet variations, diff directions .... going underneath the other leg, swtiching legs, and just make sure you use both legs. If you don't, and just use one leg to do stuff it looks gay.

My footwork got good pretty damn fast, its all about trying new things and being creative. Dont repeat and have a flow of swingin the legs, or makin them go all wild, being all choppy, or threading (grabbin left leg with right arm and putting right leg in the circle) Or u can put all those together, which is what I do because it helps me so I do not repeat anything..... this would be a good choice. Just be creative and dont practice the same thing your doing right now all the time. just goof around and try things that would look cool to COMBO into your footwork. It is your choice what you want to do though.

Watch videos but dont bite, just watch how people flow. here is a great video of almost all footwork, I just seen it:

I like it, make it a little smoother. Add more stuff and don't make it all the same. It's a cool video, keep on practicing.


BboyIcey...that's an A-W-E-S-O-M-E video. Where did you get it? O, that helps so ******* much. Thx.
