Bill Shannon : The Shannon Technique

[TalonBoiii]

has anyone tried this? is it harder to do than actual breakdancing or what?

[UrSoMeanBoss]

alot of fighting styles come out of dance!

... ass-kicking-crutches?

[SOCOMSoldier01]

@UrSoMeanBoss I could see Donnie Yen paying you a visit soon Mr. Shannon

[brownhairbrowneyes25]

Bill-

Thank you for compiling this breakdown of your style and technique for all to see and appreciate. Your grace, strength and creativity have been inspiring to say the least! Shouts to RJD2’s vid years ago for introducing me to your work!



[VietSausage11]

Imagine how incredible this guy would be if he had the use of two legs. Truly inspirational.

[minimafi4]

Incredible, this is astonishing. I’ve never seen anything like this before. This guy is a genius.

[my12jumper]

Insperational

[immelio]

Where can i get a pair of those crutches???

[TheDesSho]

to bill shannon... your work is super inspirational.... and sexy

[Kathilisi]

Beautiful and hypnotic. Thanks for sharing.

[KeithChill]

I dont find Mr. Shannon inspirational due to his disability but rather that hes a damn good dancer on a new medium.

Mr. Shannon there is one of those people who would have been amazing with or without the hip issue, hes just that kind of person. Can't keep people like him down.

[SQUIZZLER24]

It's amazing how two objects that are usually viewed as a negative attribute can be made to look so graceful and beautiful by a person such as yourself.

You truly are an inspirational person.

[chillmatix]

fingerflip darkleg :D

nice man

[earthquakeroats]

cant wait for you to make a helicopter spin >:D keep it up brother and stay safe!

[deetoe]

@ arjab93 .. If your behavior in school and ultimately in life are determined by the opinions of others around you how will you ever find your direction? A little soul living in the shadow of its own self-doubt is a pathetic thing. Live your life son. Don't be scared to be different. BTW I did not get famous "spinning" on crutches. I got famous making the fact of being on crutches look smooth as butter.

[sspoonbenderr]

@deetoe

Amen.

You're incredible. I only wish to achieve the level of centeredness and balance on my two legs that you have proven to achieve, really, without.

Brilliant.

[Arjab93]

Damn, its so retardet to become famous by spinning around on crutches!! I think this guy sucks. if I would do this on my school everybody will bully me down, but he is makin money with such a crap !!

[lllllIIIIIIIIILlllll]

[radge6]

[deetoe]

[Fellas007]

Man, if you are the man in the vid, then I am asking you: Why do you make vids with crutches when you don't need 'em. I mean, I am condemned to walk on crutches from my 5 yrs and I can tell that you wouldn't want to get in that pose too. And now I don't even know what I wanted to say. Anyway, I have one more question. These crutches are made by you or FOR you only or are they some kind of "entertainment" stuff. Pls reply

[lusteraliaszero]

he actually needs them...

[1psoas9]

@deetoe THis is beautiful, man, just beautiful. THank you.

[CarbonBlue303]

wow that is sooooo cool!!!!

[gdm0485]

Crutch ninja.

[Kichu93]

Fucking Awesome

[domdude5000]

yeah i can do that lol :P

nah i want 2 learn tho

[BallsackTBaghard]

well... so he can walk without the crutches or what ?

[HorseCaak]

No, he was born with a degenerative hip condition. He's been on crutches for a LONG time so he just knows what he's doin. Practice I guess. :-)

[djmrbrown00]

OBSCENELY CREATIVE

[TehZeppelin]

Weird and awesome at the same time.

[bizz76]

wow he's awesome!! I saw him at the Cirque du Soleil a couple of years ago, it was Varekai, it was great... how do you call those kind of crutch?

[Kazbahn1]

I think they're specially modified, i'm thinking of making myself some :P

[kenybianca]

I love Bill and his work for years (1993), It has been an absolute joy to see him become a great dancer

[ickerish]

its like drama/skate/bboy.. shits sick as hell

[ickerish]

what exactly is his handicap? he makes it look like he really doesnt need the krutchs

[Stickysnatch]

@ickerish - He has a Bilateral Hip Deformity, which means he can walk, but can't put pressure on his hip for extended periods of time.

[Whillenn]

"What are you seeing?"

I'm seeing a guy with a handicap who can dance better than I ever could. I almost feel ashamed, like I've been wasting my life not learning to move my body like that. lol

[mik2y]

yo thats amazing

i would do that kind of dancing if i could

[henrybesmer]
