I see so many clips of people toprocking the song 'Dj ben-Hungarian break' and when the 4 second solo bongo beats come out and when they hit that bongo beat it's fucking amazing cause the beat is so fast and hitting at the same speed looks so dope that it controls the crowd completly and they go nutz over that. Can someone tell me what I need to do to hit that beat without making me look like a dick?

I'll show you a link of somebody hitting that beat with that song:

I know that machine is dope on that clip but alot of bboys hit that beat of the song and I want to learn how to hit it fast.

hmm I'll try to hit that beat 2morrow, only thing I can say is that I think they're doing it just on their toes, that's the only way to hit a beat that fast.

You can't really use standard toprock steps on that section if you want to hit every beat. You have to use accents.

Also you have to remember that that section of the song isn't actually "faster." It's the exact same speed as the rest of the track, it just has extra hits placed in between the standard beats. All you have to do is change your steps slightly to catch it.

[bboy a.c]

Yeah but wha do you mean by
'you have to do is change your steps slightly to catch it'?

[AlphaTrion]

let's say your doing standard Indian step (cross step, whatever you want to call it). You're hitting the beats on 2 and 4 regular then that part of the song comes, one thing you could do is place an emphasis on every beat and just make a point to step on a new spot on beats 1, 2, 3 and 4. That's just one example.

It's just a matter of adapting to the beat structure. It's pretty hard to explain online but just know that the more you concentrate on hitting beats, the easier this type of thing comes.

i think bboy mathias does it better but....

i think what you're supposed to do is like keep your foot straight, not so like you're tippy toeing but that you have like your foot pointing directly down so that the shoe doesn't bend.

also, i'm just guessing this but...

when bboy mathias does it, he's leaning back right? he keeps one foot ahead for the first beat, the second beat is with the other foot in the back, so that as he's leaning back, he's falling but catching himself with the other foot, so it applies more pressure and your feet comes down faster. i dunno sorry if i was no help =O

[Markos]

you saw he kinda jumped into it, he only did the first beats then he jumped and landed on the last.

[fukaihoton]

yea but he did the other 2 in the air!
