born in 89, man i hope to one day be like these guys fasho!. a work in progress but one day i shall be no doubt. much respect to the ones like these who paved the way for the many.
This is how I remember hip hop. Today's hip hop shouldn't even be called hip hop, its a bunch of thugs n gangsters putting out bad messeges to our young.
This was the shit im proud I grew up in that era the best times in my life wish it was still like that music was so bomb graffiti was the shit also tagging but breaking was the ultimate battle
Sad in this age of communication people still assume that they know all when all they have to do is look up Powerful Pexter and ask him "did you study gymnastics"
@TheUnholyCrosss no they dont , I have been breakin for 11 years and have never done gimnastics ! And i can execute all of this movements.. I hate when people are trying to take away from this dance form and come up with an excuse . I worked my ass off to become real good and here come people like you to say something ! Stop being ignorant and document yourself!
@TheBboyradio No im not being ignorant and i know you dont have to go true gymnastics to accomplish this im just saying that someone that would have an actual gymnastic background would dominate breakdancer moire faster than a person that starts off from scratch do0nt you think because basically half of the moves that nyc and rsc had were gymnastic like moves or you can say at least that some moves originated from gymnastics
@TheUnholyCrosss uh... the only things from gymnastics were flips and flares...
bboying is basically gymnastics floor routines on steroids haha
there weren't even many freezes in this. or a tenth of the powermoves out there.
morgan hamm is the ONLY gymnast who can airflare, and he spent 5 years just to get poor ones. note that morgan is an olympic gold medalist. if the best gymnast sucks at bboying after trying it for five years, then bboying is obviously harder.
@TheUnholyCrosss Flares, ufo's, 90's and flips was first done in gymnastics or was it?? The main roots of Bboyin comes from Martial Arts. I know gymnasts that have become "breakers"....they got flares, 90's and flips easy - BUT they can't dance, they can't rock the beat - wack footwork, very stiff, no funk, no soul...basically no musicality!!! and the opposite of those things is what makes you a B-BOY.
makes me fuckin sick to my stomach at how hip hop/rap has become one big fuckin joke in the mainstream media SMH!!!!! why did i have to be born in 86? i would have love to be a teen in the 80s (minus the aids/crack epidemic lol)
no camera tricks or modern technology. just some raw art being born these poor dudes didnt have a clue what they was starting. if you tube was out in 83 i swear i would have all these step down. the youth of today dont appriciate shit.
Too bad it was only 1 show. Network people were ignorant to wat Hip Hop was back in 84. I remember going to the theater to see Flashdance back in 1983 and when the breakdance part came on white people were amazed. Me and my cousin couldnt stop laughing.
i remember when this originally aired on T.V. it was the middle of the day & everybody went home to watch!-we were so happy to see hip hop on T.V. it was special! now hip hop's everywhere you don't have to look!
WOW! Classic and I gotta say they're foot work is AMAZINGLY CLEAN!!@!@ I'm amazed! Those classic windmills were perfect to bad by that time there were no flares, airflares, nutcrackers or jackhammers!

This video represents an example of floorwork that has NEVER been matched. NYCB are the masters of floorwork. If you could combine this floorwork with gamblerz power moves. The universe would implode.
i was born in 85 but i wish i was born early so i could of lived the breakdancing era grafiitti on the subway trains era. cause i am the olny #1 fan of electroc-funk scene from the 80's (not todays stuff), what they call breakin today aint breaking. breaking was created in the early 1980s. the best stuff eva man. but they didn't do much up rocking like they did in breakin 1 and 2 movies (which i have) and in the movies they didn't do much back spins ans stuff like that.
man, those are the most bad ass nicknames ever! "yo, i'm Kid Nice, these are my friends Icy Ice and Action". ever better than the american gladiator names!
