if your going to break on concrete, least put some carboard over it.

concrete is pretty hard on your body - even for just dancing on your feet
i practice all terrain on some concrete structures on my street and it rips up my hands something fierce ( got to buy gloves )

in tel aviv i had a bunch of industrial strength bubble wrap that was backed with brown paper, we'd put that down beneath our lino when we danced outside - worked really well

yes it hurts especially mills lol...spinning on a substance that has small sharp outcroppings isnt a good idea...i do footwork on concrete a lot though...just nothin on my knees or back

WRX_breaker · 03-25-2004, 02:06 PM

alright guyz ill try to get some cardboard

Pierre_ · 03-25-2004, 02:56 PM

i rather bring a vinyl or linoleum mat to ur school, if you have like a car or something u could bring it and then take it out when its time to use, i really dont like cardboard much only because it moves around ALL THE TIME when we bust a move...but yeah concrete...not a very good idea lol

tails_da_fox · 03-25-2004, 03:27 PM

well if your only doing handstands, you can do it a grass or dry dirt, i practice my handstands on those, cause it doesnt hurt as bad as concrete, cause i remeber a few weeks ago i was practicing some handstands and a fell on the concrete, and it HURT!

BgUrL_BeMuR · 03-25-2004, 04:58 PM

Um..I wouldn't recommend it. Like two years ago, I was doin mills on cardboard but it wasn't big enough and I ended up on the concrete and I scrapped my shoulder kinda bad...

Bboy TesT · 03-26-2004, 05:45 AM

Tape it down my friend, dont want it to move. if you can, try to get more support under the cardboard, like an extra layer of it undearneath.

take care.

Concrete does hurt, whether it's street or even garage - whether it's on hands or feet.

For years, I practiced in my garage floor... and it has helped me... but not without some cuts and bruises from the extremely unforgiving pavement.

Anyhow, if you truly must dance on concrete, snag some cardboard and linoleum and line the lino on top of the cardboard to give it some give... this will make the lino feel much like a dance floor, allowing you to familiarize yourself with the feel, while leaving you unscathed.

Test it was taped down. I wanted to practice mills so bad and all I had was like this not so big cardboard and there wI was just millin it and there it was.....

in new york they practice on concrete wid lenolium n cardboards. harder surface makes harder skin. kind like squats using the bar. It actually makes your back tougher, na mean?
