Degree · **What Convinced me to try bboying -** 09-17-2006, 12:44 AM

When i first heard and saw the music video "give it up to me" by sean paul, i saw the bboys in the vid and they were the shit. some of you guys might be like "dude ur gay" >< well it inspired me

*for the people that would actually say that ur gay*

thats how people start as... they don't know anything about bboyin, they just watch the TV and be like "WOAH! i want to do that!"... then its their choice whether to get into the culture, or just learn that move...

its nice for u to hop in ^_^

Because i started trying to bboy all i knew was, moonwalk, and heel toe. =P. I wanna learn some footwork moves and more freezes.

I remember when something like that happened to me. I was watching the music video Rappers Delight and then Crazy Legs busted out a couple headswipes to a pose and I was like, whoa that was unbecredible! I didn't start breakdancing right away, but I ended up a breakdancer none the less!

it's nice to know that bboying has a STRONG affect on people these days..

Well I had always been a good dancer so I thought I might try breakdancing. I decided to start when i saw that Nike commercial with that one guy in black. I dont know his name but he was awesome.I saw that, my jaw dropped, and i started google-ing breakdancing.

EDIT:It was a commercial with Junior. When he did planche pushups my jaw dropped.

haha i started cuz i saw you got served and was convinced that wuz bboying.....then i met some bboys in my school and wuz blown away and learned that you got served is garbage and a waste of 2 hours and $6.50 minus the popcorn.....

lets be honest, about 75%-80% of us started cuz we saw the flashy stuff they showed in mainstream world........

spinning rice · 09-17-2006, 03:29 PM

oh yeah and i thought no one could beat usher and mj......(well mj is still nasty)

Bboy Blessed · 09-17-2006, 07:50 PM

My friend said u wanna learn how to break and I said ok

shrapple · 09-18-2006, 12:57 AM

I wouldnt say 75%-80%. Maybe 75-80% of this newskool age 10-16 year olds that want to become bboys, but you don't become a bboy just because you say you are.

I "started" bboyin because i was searching for a back handspring guide and found this site lol, then just started it, also it helped with my capoeira, e,g baby freeze, l kicks ect.

	I'll just start off by saying the majority rappers today have no intention of supporting hip-hop culture. If you don't support the culture, then you aren't really hip-hop. -AK47 All you're fuckin threads turn into this type of shit. In other words, you are the GOAT ThreadMaker. -PopTrunk
