Everyone at my school.. - 05-16-2008, 02:40 AM

Thinks that my friends and I are posers... Because we lack powermoves..

lol damn the media! Nobody knows the true dance.. Just god damn spins and shit.

So we pretty much get horrible rep and get dissed at every other day.
Anybody else in the same situation?

Maybe it's just us because we session everyday lol.




~Bboyin since Oct.2007

Theres nothing better than the cypher. Where you can dance all your worries and troubles away. Makes you feel like nothing else matters besides dancing.. This is why I Bboy.

Get better or learn more power moves?

Because supposedly Airchairs and Air Freezes are poser moves.

And I'm not letting this get to my head. Why do yo uthink my friends and I still practice everyday?

I was jsut wondering if anyone else had a situation like this.

Yo man, a lot of styleheads don't get the respect that they diserve, but thats because normal ass people don't know the ideal mind of a bboy. They don't know the wider aspects of bboying because their mindset is geared toward thinking that bboying (or in their term- "Breakdancing") is all about spinning on your head and windmills, and doing moves that look are eye-catching and "cool." The key here is, keep doing what you're doing, and don't break to impress these fools, but do it to stay stong on the real bboy scene where your style is actually considered useful (at battles). Keep your mind off of what people think about your dancing, whether they think you're posers or not, them characterizing you as "posers" has nothing to do with the reason why you dance (which I hope isn't to impress) but rather to love what you do.

Obviously overtime, as you enchance your capabilities and start improving, you will add power to your breaking, which will take care of the "poser" issue itself in time.

Good Luck.

Peace.

You just gotta be cooler than them. That's all there is to it. Not in a "I'm better than you" way, but a "I don't give a flying fuck" way. If you can ingrain that into your system they'll see that you're doing it for yourself and sooner or later you'll be the coolest kid on the block.

...I'm not guaranteeing that.

You should fuckin hit the cunts. FUCK THEM if they think you guys are posers, coz in my opinion, and i dun mean any offence to powerheads here, but i think a poser bboy or a "breakdancer" is one who just learns the dance to impress, not to express. Those faggots who say they love the dance and when you ask them if they feel good when their dancing they say "hell no"... nigga, if you aint feelin it then wtf u doing??? fuck em man just keep on dancing bro,, all you gotta do is hve love for the culture, and those words are what roxrite told my friend... just gotta have love for the culture man.

Bboy Phenom, you are great at explaining things. =P
Go style! =P Even though I will learn much power in time.

Also I am not dancing to impress.. Bboys that dance just for impressing other people.. Well.. They'll get a challenge from me or one my friends.

I Bboy because I love it so much and it gives me such a rush/adrenaline feeling after I hit an awesome combo or do a nice set...

I keep trying to stay away from it.. But my thumb gives me too much pain. So I toprock. =P

No idea really what you mean. Everyone that bboys in my school are more style then power. We never get dissed just not as respectable as some of the other dancers, but we don't mind we just do our thing, but still a lot of people I know try to bboy even though we only do mostly style.

I don't know when really..

I studied on it and it takes 6 weeks to heal.. it's almsot been 7 weeks and i'm raelly worried.

I'm going to the doctors this Saturday. (Sorry Asian parents.. Took them 7 weeks to realize I need to go to the doctors.. lol Very ignorant)

How'd you sprain yours? And does it hurt to move around?

I didn't know it was possible to sprain Hypermobile Fingers(Double jointed)? O_O

Anyway. I was doing Coffee Grinders way to fast, and I tried to do two in a row and the land.. I kicked my thumb with force. Fuck I heard it crack and pop and shit. It was painful couldnt move for a day...

I ignored it and Bboy'd on it ever since.. Now the pain is still there.. I think I'm SOL.
