Ok...so theres this dude who comes to my training, its run by a crew and hes a member,so he kinda organises all the training and shit...but he does nothing except fuck about with his crew guys and try the occasional move. This is the same for nearly every session, he turns up, stretchs a bit and then just stands there. Last nite, he spent training learning to handstand from a crouched position and walk a few steps..im talking nearly an hour?...It seems like he has no concept of what bboying is all about, putting in effort and expressing yourself?..I mean, i doubt hed even be in the crew if he wasnt a founding member....

In his photos, he puts like "me bboying" and he does these shows with his crew, but hes so shit, i think his top move is babyfreeze-with-head-on-floor and a wack bent legged 2 hand airbaby...he does the shows yet hes not showing people what bboyin is about. He cant even call himself a bboy. Basically, i think he just likes the image of being a "breakdancer" and wearing all the clothes and being like "ohhhhhh im a breakdancer etc".Oh yeh, hes been doin "breakdancing" for 3 years......

Hes trying windmills atm and he wears so much shit for it, its unbelievable, like he puts on a padded body warmer (to protect his back) and a support for his elbow (so he doesnt rub his gut in the handglide position), i just think he should go for it instead of fucking about with all the padding and shit. And when he sets up for the collapse, he looks likes he having a fit or something.

Basically, i just wanna call him out and show him what bboyin is, cus i think hes misrepresenting the culture...im definatly not good but i wanna battle.

Do i call him out or not?...

[Ground Control]

lol, i find it humorous that you have to make a post asking other people...and online people at that...if you should battle him or not..

do what you think is right. what can anyone on this site tell you, that you're justified in battling him? lol...just do the damn thing.

[original_bboy]

call that joker out. record the battle and post it up so I can laugh at him.

[bboy_gab]

ya call him out! then post the video here :P

[Sleep]

Haha, ok I have to retype what i was gonna say because i just reread and noticed you said hes been breakin for 3 years. Well I dunno what you would call him out on, being a douchebag who can't do shit? I dunno you could call him out but it seems like hes just some guy who thought the idea of breakin was awesome, his friends got good at it, so he somehow thought he was a part of it when really he can't do jack. Maybe you should just leave him be, he probably looks bad enough.

k man, i'm in no way hating on you cause i don't know anything about you, but from where i'm standing it looks like this: you said it yourself, bboyin is about expression right? and it makes you look pretty wack when you're like "i'm gonna judge this kid", honestly who gives a shit what someone else does at practice. you say expression, but from what you have said, you mean bboyin' is all about trying to impress people. who cares what people think of you, him or what anyone else does. its what they do, its how they express themselves. honestly why are you gonna be like "i know everything about hip-hop culture, he's not representing us", and by us, you mean you and your ideals of what hip-hop means. i bet you are one of those guys who goes, "what the fuck, who said he could practice with us, hes black he should go c-walk / white he should go line dance / asian he should go rave" or whatever the fuck some ignorant shit who thinks they know "hip-hop" would say. an elitist attitude doesn't fit someone (who said it themselves) , isn't even that good. so before you think you need to 'represent' the rest of us bboys and hip-hop itself, take a look in the mirror and ask yourself, is this what dancing is about? showing up people? trying to be the best? making people feel stupid cause i got a small dick? honestly man it's people who think that the culture is one way that give it a bad name. peace.

Ground Control - i was online, so i thought fuck it,haha,id ask

Phirak - i couldnt give a fuck whether hes black or white, did i say anything about race?..hip hop gets a bad enough name as it is without race even coming into it, if i was like that, would i even be attempting bboying being a white guy?...

i said my reason for calling him out is cus i think he just uses the term bboy,without knowing what it is all about...i know what you mean, i could just leave him like you said and let him go anotha 3 years with babyfreezes..maybe a battle would open his eyes a bit....sooner rather then later

we all dislike people who pose and claim to be something there not...i bet ud wanna smoke a guy who claimed to be a bboy when he did fuck all, ud wanna teach em a lesson...just look at the amount of hating that gets directed towards cocky people on this site...

lastly,no, dance isnt about showing people up, its about expression but there is a certain element about wanting to be the best that comes into it...otherwise why would we battle...i wanna be the best, nothing wrong in that.

What did he do to you that makes you want to call him out? Just wondering.

[original_bboy]

mis understand what a true bboy is being about? or jus bein a lazy mother and given bboys a bad name? jus a guess

[shigity]

you'll probably get kicked out. if the others can deal with it, then you should be able to. unless he's singling you out

[Bboy BlueBerry]

gettin all irritated about someone that isnt trying as hard is not really a reason for that someone to get punished, unless they show off talkin about how good they are. Sure he sucks now, but hopefully he'll realize that he needs to get better when hes in a battle... i suggest u just leave him alone unless he wants to be called out

[Phirak]

aight man, the race thing just was an example. i worded it bad, but the real point about what i was saying was basically, that you are being a hypocrite by saying "bboyin is about expression, but i'll judge this kid". haha i got pretty spiteful tho didn't i? no hard feelings lol.

[break1nine]

if he is sooo bad then why would you waste your time like that .. i think that it in the end woiuld just make you look worse .. you should step to people that are at your level or higher .. what does it matter if he calls himself a bboy .. just a name .. its the talent you have that matters not the title yo-u give yourself ..

[bboy /\/ew]

can he realy "do a set"? because if he just messes around and handstands dont wast your time..

[Swiper]

I got a better idea.

Help him out.
