THATS WHERE THE POWER COMES FROM!"

I think its the sex thing your pointing out?..well yeah ..thats true for me!

Yo, i haven't read all the posts but i read enough.
First of all, i'd like to say how great it is that there are people out there who still appreciate the elements of bboying. time after time i see bboys who go into their dance without doing any toprock. people forget that toprock is like an introduction and can make a difference in battling. no wonder cico never wins red bull. not hating on his style but i have never seen the man do one six step or a toprock set.

now that im done preaching, ill input what i think is a good way to get better. i've noticed that when i toprock, staying on the balls of my feet has helped with my look. it has really strengthened my legs and when i used to be flat footed, it made it harder on my ankles. here is a dude i saw who stays on the balls of his feet and though he isn't really fast, he still has good style. in fact, i dont think speed matters.

haha that name is pretty funny yet tite... your mascot should be a sick piglet or sumtin... hahha...!!

anyways back on topic again... here's another thing to help people out and it can be used for bboying as a whole not just toprock... and thats studying of music... this is not really a concept or such but more of a study and practice and ritual... if you got an ipod... cd player.. or whatever... anything with headphones... TAKE IT WITH YOU EVERYWHERE...!! keep browsing thru your music selection and listen to it as if its 24/7... literally...!! keep rewinding certain parts of songs you listen to or can do a move to until its stuck in your head... it seems like a choreography kinda thing... but paying attention to the music and listening for what i like to call
"knick knacks"... example for the mexican... the part where it sounds like you can crack your knuckels or sumtin... people would know what im talking bout if theyve seen it before... every song has it...!! a knick knack i mean... so get your music ready...!! your ears open...!! and listen to the same song for shit you never even heard before...!! peace...!!

true true..Power Of MuSick! actually when you first started concentrating on studying music or something it will be just like that. but sooner or later you'll get inlove with it without knowing why or maybe because when you understand a certain music and you tried hitting beats even with just hand gestures or imagine the you just shotguned someone with a certain sound in the music..you'll just by yourself and it actually feels good! like you wanna learn how do it with different tracks...and also it feels good and cool too when you do it insight of people like wat happens usually when im just wonderin around while practicing and i predicted that there's a certain sound or percussion that will suddenly come out and i'll just do some random crazy thing like i'll slap my friend as a joke with that certain sound which is crazy and feels awesome!..even if you're not doing it in a battle or cypher or something it will just come out to you naturally specially if you're doing it already as your everyday thing

like even when im cooking food and playing music i just instictively do some random footpattern or spins or do the dick move all with the beat while cooking and holding the spatula or something..haha!!

Music Is Fun!! so just ...Have Fun and you'll be good at it without even knowing...dont think of it too much...make it a part of you

[gibo]

sometimes when im asleep i still have my earphones on..and my tracks and mixes repeats over and over until i wake i'll just be "i feel like bustin loose!ahh ! ahh! bustin loose! or beatboxin already that sometimes im not really sure if i slept that night..haha

[beaniekapp]

walking on beat even helps...!! haha...!!

[gibo]

haha sometimes my walking is like im toprocking or some Rocking already..like i would do grapevine or charlie rock or something just to go to the comfort room.haha..or doing Jerks(part of Uprock or Rocking) when soaping while taking a bath..haha
