Hat burn I do during battles
Hello,
I've been bboying for 1 year and 3 months now, started at 25. Completely fell in love with this dance, I'm just curious after how many years did you guys started doing battles ?
peace look'n 4 bboyz in mumbai, goa, and kerala pls link if ya know šš½
So Iām working on trying to get my flare, I got the frist round to look and feel pretty smooth but as soon as I try and continue the movement I just canāt seem to get it, any help would be greatly appreciated š
Jams at basketball courts or gyms have waxed floors so doing power moves like halos, backspins and headspins are always difficult for me due to there being more friction than normal. What material do yall typically wear to spin more on waxed floors?
Iāll be in Nassau for a cruise this weekend and was wondering if anyone knew if there were areas to session or get down throughout the day. Thank you, peace
We made it to the finals
guys i have a question for yall, after the 2nd round flare
the movement becomes easier? i mean the training and stuff
i achieved a clean 1st round and a half 2nd round today, i didnt record it so i cannot show up here
but it got me so hyped up, that it feels the process might get easier from now on
it was a hard routine to learn the first one, i couldnt keep doing it because it was late night, but im so anxious for tomorrow
today was awesome... really!!!
Hard work pays off

Hiro 10 got splashed with a water bottle at a competition and tbh I dont see the fuss. Brother echo or whatever his name is did a distasteful burn and thats it but hiro 10 is dragging it
Right now, I have a performance that isn't 100% confirmed about the sections so I'm hoping to be able to do it

I think it was an rnb music video with a bboy in it and he was going different speeds like slowmotion to fast it was sick and he was wearing sunglasses
Hello there! I've been breakdancing and have been able to put in about 2 hours a day everyday for the past 5 weeks or so. I recently participated in a local toprock thing going on in town and actually won which was awesome. I am young enough to where I could genuinely take this to a competitive level and am dedicated enough to train.
If you could provide advice in general in terms of learning (for a beginner), I would be extremely grateful. I have ran into a lot of issues with youtube videos which say, "beginner" and then proceed to show me the most complex moves I've ever seen so please remember, I really only know a decent amount of toprock (and tbh, only won the event because I finessed the few moves I knew and my opponent messed up in the final). Thank you all very much!
Currently live streaming a battle here in NYC if anyone is interested in watching/tuning in! Prelims start at 8:30pm EST and the jam goes until around midnight!
Veterans! What's something you're wish you knew in your first few years of breaking?
And/Or
What's something you knew but never actually followed through with that you wish you did (regarding discipline).
Waddup!
I'm going to create a Flare Day for my exercise schedule, a day that is entirely committed to the Flare, and I'm reaching out to y'all for some ideas.
For context, I can already do a few, but really shit flares. What sort of exercises and/or youtube videos have y'all used to improve your flares?
Flare Day will fill a 2 - 3 hour block of time and executed once per week.
Feel free to rant and write a lengthy comment, I'll read and appreciate every word of it.
