Hi, since I am a n00b to this, I have no idea where and how to add 'style' to a toprock, I can toprock of course (great guide) but it is same and boring. Please give some help!!! Would be greatly appreciated.

Btw I have been bboying... 3 days?

Well style no one can REALLY tell you how to add, because.. well.. Its style!
Should be your own.
Add a shuffle down here and there, alot of people do this. Move your arms, point, flick off, blah blah blah.
fling your leg BEHIND your toppin leg os that it spins you, i dunno, just add alot of little small tricks. Think of it as regular dancing to the beat.
Notice the word BEAT. Keep it on beat.. at all times.. If not youll just look like an idiot

Thanks, grandmoren, that really helps a lot.

how does someone like.. say... aznbreaka find all that style does it take a long time to get something like that

[GrandMoren]

Well i dont know azn breaker, and i wont answer for him, but id say practice

[electron]

practice... watching clips ... watching clips of yourself

practice
and concious practice ( knowing what you want to work on and being methodical about it )
that helps from time to time too , so you don't spend so much of your practice time flailing about like a monkey sweating for no reason

[Nexxorcist]

haha, flailing around like a monkey. actually, i do that sometimes, but when i get something outta my tops that i liked from flailing around like a monkey, i take that element, and practice it. a lot. and that's basically the key. straight up practice. practicing something till you get really comfortable with it, because when you do, that's when you can kinda go, "hey, alright, now what if i placed this foot here while i did this" etc etc. =) Anyhow, best of luck.

uh... posted twice for some reason.

Question...... Is it normal for your top-rock to look kinda gay at the begining?

[from da chi]

almost everything looks rough, i won't say gay, but rough in the begining practice makes shit look hot
