Body Size Matters? - 10-24-2005, 06:16 AM

I'm a fairly big guy, 5"8 180 pounds... and i've wanted to get into bboy for awhile but never full gotten into it...

I'm just wonderin if my body size will make it harder to learn to be a bboy... cause i mean if i try to do freezes or anything theres more weight...

should i try to loose weight first and get more muscular or should it not matter?

hmmm...
i've got a mini pot belly... and it helps a lil if the balancin hehe(it bring ur CG a lil bi more to ur front... the thing is it's more into technique rather than strength, well that's wad i think...

although it is true that u will find it harder to hold freezes cuz of the weight... so yeah! go shed some meat...

Never compare ol' skool with the new! It's like askin who's smarter between the wright brothers who invented the plane or the scientists that made it faster! I'm sure Kurt (props to him for the flare) never saw the airflare comin!

Thats not exactly big bro. Well you may be a tad on the heavy side for your hieght, but 5'8 is kinda short. Thats not gonna be a problem at all. If anything just drop a few pounds.

Uh, i'm kinda skinny and i'm 5'10 127. It will hold you down, but bboying will probably make you lose weight and you shouldn't let weight stop you from trying. Anytime someone a bit overweight does dope moves, its damn awesome.
