when did you find your niche? - 04-01-2005, 04:16 PM

hey
i've been breaking for about a year and was wondering when things started to click for you. how long did it take before you no longer felt like i beginner? i'm just wondering because i don't feel like i've really progressed over the last few months. thanks.

well, the time i found my niche and the time i stopped feeling like a newb were different times. i stopped feeling like a newb the first time someone better than me gave me props.

for my niche, i guess you mean that's when i found out what kind of bboy i want to be. when you find something that you have a lot of fun doing and you're good at, you got a niche. it can be more than 1 thing, i guess. but i like being a planche/handstand bboy, it's dope. idunno, i'm just talking out of my ass.

Wow can you teach me that!

Anyway I've been bboying for like six months now, so I haven't found either... Thing is my power is pretty inconsistant I can hit some dope power moves, but still can't do moves which is supposed to be easier...?

Anyway it looks like I'm turning into a flexy/freeze bboy....

wat.

I still havent found my niche..

At the moment im just working on power n blowups, and getting a nice toprock.

Im thinking that i want to be a power bboy, and dance be mostly on my hands and body, and eventually have enough to just disregard most footwork, as it was never my strength.
