Pompo? Never heard of that name. Maybe you mean Bronco?

Pompos are the same things as switches, as far as I know. Nice moves to switch direction during footwork.

it's a nice move to do if you have clean footwork (which I don't, I have to relearn all my foundation and shit)

Ohhh, so you mean CCs? The side to side motions?

yup, the side the side motion. I'll make a few picture so you can see, unless you kinda get the idea now.
Since you can do like a half-way-over step, or just totally turn over to go into a push up position.

One of my crew member does the later, but I prefer doing the first one since if you can do it fast, it looks pretty sweet.

It's an easy piece of footwork that you can customize to your preference imo.

Well, I'm still working on my footwork so. Gonna start focusing on my tops and transition from tops to footwork to freezes a bit more.
What I like to do alot is like uhm.. lemme think.... Imma try to explain it... like shoving yourself forward while scissoring your legs. I use that one alot, and I've worked out a nice combo with it to end in a freezes. But Imma keep that to myself XD
