NEED SOME INSPIRATION/MOTIVATION? Look no further! - 02-08-2009, 05:44 AM

So, i just finished watching "Planet B-boy" and damnnnnnnnnnn

parts of the movie had me laughing..parts tearing up and a WHOLE LOTTA PARTS just made my jaw drop


some of these crew members are fighting through hell and back to do what they love, if that isnt enough to get you to practice..i dont know what is.


If you seem to have lost confidence in yourself..and just need some motivation/inspiration..rent..buy whatever, JUST WATCH THIS MOVIE

itll change your perspective on bboying as a whole.



I know what im doin first thing tmrw!



practicepracticepractice =D

as much as the movie may be inspiring it's a watered down version of what bboying is to those who aren't familiar with it, only because this is based round BOTY 2005. If you watch The Freshest Kids it has a better insight into bboying i think

im familiar with the freshest kids too

but i feel that planet b-boy is open to a much wider audience than just bboys themselves


i freaking loved it!

yeah man, that was almost the whole point of releasing it. so that those that aren't familiar wit the art-form are now aware of what it holds

the freshest kids was about the history of bboying while planet bboy focused on the bboys themeselves. Both where great at what they focosed at. None is better than the other.

Don't forget about "Inside the Circle"

That's also a really good documentary about the bboys themselves. Catch it on youtube.

This sort of gives you the perspective that bboying is DEFINETLY not just in the US. I think the Freshest kids go deep in the roots of bboying, but Planet Bboy shows bboys across the Globe. I recommend both to anyone with some spare time.

Before i watched planet bboy i had already seen ichigeki's showcase and now when i watched planet bboy and watch their showcase again i felt like tearing up. Such emotion was poured into katsu's last set, i now understand bboying takes alot of sacrifice then i had expected. Sigh i just wish ichegeki didnt disband b/c they are my ultimate inspiration to bboying.

Most of the members from Ichigeki are still around and battle together. Katsu and Quick are both in the Kyoto Bboy Club and have been participating in battles pretty recently.
