Yeah, I remember that page from ages ago. This is the same exact site, Tane just altered the appearance and layout.

Varity is the key to longevity. It's good that Tane changed it around; even though I don't recall way back then anyway.

Old moves lists never die; they just get archived by our friends over at About.com.

http://rap.about.com/library/blbreakdancecoverpage.htm

I think our current descriptions contained in the moves section are much better than the old list.

People keep asking about that old list of descriptions, though.

This site has been online since 1998. First as Breakdance.com, then Bboy.org.

I have notice over the years that people think the site was better last month or last year. Trust me, it is better now than ever.

the site is DEFINITELY best now
it was a bit of a rough transition from time to time, like when the old moves forum got changed to the new one and we had to start all kinds of threads over, and learn how to find stuff, but that's just the nature of change, it forces you to adapt...

it is loads better than it was a year ago, and a year ago, it was pretty damn good.



you must have been a bgirl.... because the only moves that you pulled on me were heartbreakers

lol why even bother asking about it...



Dont bite the hand that feeds u, eventually everyone helping u will get annoyed...jesus.

Beginners giving beginners tips without understanding what they are saying is probally one of the worst ways to spread KNOWLEDGE.....which is the key to anything in life.

yao... BREAKDANCE.COM WUZ WHACK! at least they got the sense to name it "b-boy.org", 'cuz of course "Breakdance.com" would be ridiculed by other b-boys 'cuz thas just media hype to call it breakdancing, instead of b-boying.... and all that shiet would blow up MOVES, and not give shit about the dance... and most of the moves they had up there were WHACK neway.... and made-up... and a lot of the clips and pics they had of a certain move were wrong neway....
