Any fake prick with a "How to Breakdance" dvd and floor space in the living room can call hisself a bboy now. Screw that, I feel thats fake and can't respect it. So instead, I choose touse the beat of the city to fuel my progression. So maybe it will take me longer to get to the top, but whats more important is that I am creating a brand new style that reflects the music and attitude of the city I love, and is truelly uniquely New orleans.

i completely agree with you
expect for the how to part
i use them occasionally for difficult shit haha
but yeah
i hate people who just learn how to 3 step off a dvd or youtube video and go on myspace and change their name to BBoy Ultimate or some fake, lame shit like that
to be called a bboy at all, you've gotta gain the respect of others
and have some actual skill
most people watch a 6 step video, "breakdance" for a week then quit and they call themselves bboys
major props on this thread man
