[GumBeatingTV]

[reicojoker]

[reicojoker]

[djcomm32]

[tuberwill08]

[Seniaah]

[TheBasslineQueen]

Diked Ting He Looks Like Hes Tryna Do Charlie Brown Dance.. I Kno Hes Embarrasaaed Of Himself Too!!!

[hollywaddington]

it aint dnb skankin tho

[iloveesr]

ah man skanking should only be done to SKA music

[palustius]

does it matter how you do it???? just do it.... (OMFG I did a nike slogan FFS....) if you listen and feel the music and your moved to dance to the music, brilliant... I've been to one or two ska, two tone gigs in my time and I can say 1) no one gives a rats butt how you dance, it's all good... end of the day all is asked... "DID YOU LIKE IT, DID IT STOMP YOUR SOCKS OFF" if yes i did and it did.... everything else is cream cheese

[isasun18]

kids thank god for youtube for teaching them how to skank i never got taught how to skank i just picked it up at shows, i think if you really want to know how to skank you should go to a show and watch and learn... that personally is the best way to get taught

[50BurntIncenseSticks]

@isasun18 do people dance and travel by skanking..?

[970punk]

nice skanking and great song.

[KanoKazuma94]

[wawadelanoche]

[MrGangsterg1]

[JackkwD]

that was some of the shittest skanking i have ever had to witness. you gimp

[thefreetimedude]

if you did this in a real crack rock steady pit youd be knocked over before you could even go around once. dont get me wrong it looks great but i couldnt picture it actualy working in a pit

[Mikaaaa122]

Hrrm loooks pretty sikkk...but then also looks liek yur havin so kindaa fit..?!

[temptingrosie]

Sick skankin' my man!

[SPUpunk]

Damn dude im nopt sure there is a "Proper" way to skank i've been lookin at ppls and it's all diffrent I;ve been trying to learn this shit but this vids the most help full

[isasun18]

thats basic skankin but you should of played the music while you were skankin cuz your foot beats dont match up if you know what i mean

[SKANDPUNKS]

Just the fact of moving, shoot some serotonins to your brain... GOGO SKA, stay happy and work hard for it

[buckh002]

sound, this is awesome, you would make a good skin ;)

[LilMissBeaumiie]

dah aint skanking

[XFurryRaverX]

sick ass skanking bro

[daughterMYslaughter]

The feet shuffling step is a bit difficult. Can you give a more descriptive way to do it?

Thanks.

[KellKunDesu]

I saw the info for this video and figured it was a cocky jackass... but very nice skanking.  If you do a tutorial on the skinhead stomp variation, I'd love to see it. I can skank, but I can't stomp =\.

[george1punk2]

why are you skanking to punk you dick.

[Ashboyyyy]

@george1punk2 Streetlight Manifesto are Ska-punk you fucking prick.

[eZeStokeBoyEzE]

[SheikahZeo]

Infested has got the best ska breakdown to skank to.

[roroChode]

this guys nice

[kwinkiquenko]

This is great. Thanks for the vid.

[TheBaldBastid]

posuers one and all....

[DeusEbrius]

I'm not sure if you still respond to or even look at comments on here anymore, but if so, could you elaborate on what you were doing from around 0:33 to 0:42? It seems different from the skanking throughout the rest of the video, and I'm having some difficulty getting the movements. Thanks, Deus.

[ctd1500]

@DeusEbrius He covered that a bit more from 1:34 on, then at 1:55 he tells you what it is.

[DeusEbrius]

@ctd1500 Thanks, I got it a few hours later when I was less high... I got confused because he put the text after the clip haha.

[shrimpy4427]

yes i love OPERATION IVY!!

[altrntiv]

wow i accidentally gave one of those pricks a thumbs up for saying your skanking is lame my bad bro

[altrntiv]

fucking ace man and nice music

[DStheRSPS]

this should be on failblog with one of the following titles; Fail white boy attempting to dance, or, fail skank, or white boy fail, and the final one, White boy attempts the gimp Fail.

[fatpeoplestub]

[TheZombiefication]

[LaPincheLilyska]

This Lotion Gives You Cancer With Too Many Applications!

[LaPincheLilyska]

Wooooo Choking V!!!

[WaR111]

you skank

[javiesta]

Your skanking is lame!

[Musicsucks]

Listen to real Ska.

[JDM205]

You are not skanking.......your dancing like a fucking retard!

[judofighter10]

@JDM205 how is it not skanking?

[JDM205]

because shanking you dance to a rythm...not flail you arms an legs round like you are.....an if you wanna know what skanking really is....look up teh migrane and tribal skank.

[judofighter10]

@JDM205 dude, who the fuck cares. let people skank and dance how they want. its not organized like line dancing and shit, it doesnt have to be perfect.

[judofighter10]

@JDM205 and i just watched those videos, thats not even real skanking..... thats some dancehall organized shit. this is the type of skanking which is done to ska, 2-tone and ska-punk. ur looking at two completely different things.

[JDM205]

wtf...dancehall? bruv that aint even skankin music ur listenin 2, r u dumb? go back listen 2 the music THEY are SKANKIN too and compare it 2 urs u fuckin prick, its ok 2 b a cunt, just ask ur mum

[SKANDPUNKS]

3:40 entring the zone =D

haha thats fluid :O

[ame5avail]

my friend and i sing Bad Town when we're going up rollercoasters. sadly, skanking is not permitted at this time :(

[VictoriaxVile]

Choking victim +operation ivy + skanking +cute boy=GOOD TIMES!

[megansalvafhku]

my favorite skanking video, thank you <3

[MrSparks2009]

LOL!! White man cant skankk lol

[Thorasus]

@MrSparks2009 man everyone can skank!

[skanker54]

when "somewhere in the between" sped up after the intro you kept the same tempo...and you skank too slow in the chrous parts of Choking Victim; you would have been pushed out in a circle pit. maybe you should have used "watered down and passive" by AAA or "hoosier love" by MU330 to match your speed...actually your skanking doesnt really change in speed from the three songs...and that choking victim song is really fast...you're right, its all about tempo- so keep up!

[styx529]

Uch, i wish the 'skinhead stomp' was explained a little better. Could anyone help me with that?

[brownclorox]

the song is infested by choking victim

oh and by the way, there is no exact way to skank.

everybody can create their own unique style of skanking. it also depends a lot on the type of ska it s. so yeah. good job.

[GweezerSota]

nevermind! i hadn't watched all the way through!

the question still lasts though-what is the first song?

[GweezerSota]

why does this tell me the song is 'somewear in the between' by streetlight manifesto? does anyone know what the song actually is?

[thedragonforce10]

it's somewhere in between by Streetlight Manifesto.  A.K.A THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!

[judofighter10]

@GweezerSota its "infested" by chokeing victim

[dxheaven]

The long winter nights must fly in that garage! lol

[spitwod666]

ur my hero

[mrowwwl]

mmmmmm

[whadupbratha]

This song is called INFESTED by Choking Victim or Leftover Crack, I forget which one hHAAH but yea this song is the BOOMMBB DIGGITYY!

[willf0rce]

whats the song? it sounds kinda like choking victim to me but im not sure

[willf0rce]

oh nvm, just read it on the video haha

[bbykaren]

wow so this is skanking:)

[eatthelivingdead]

Skanking, and even a longboard in the back. awesome.

[bearblaster420]

bumping into kids in the pit is fun....especially when they odn't know how to skank.

[PurplePalmN17]

PUSSY !

[kirkackers]

[Thebaseface]

WHAT.THE.FUCK

[ankees]

Let people skank however they want, its not that big of a deal.

[CityUndead]

I loooooooove Streetlight.

I lead a skank circle at one of their concerts, and then my friend picked me up and I crowd surfed. It was amazing.

[kodiakwarrior]

nice skanking but im ganna have to say that there are different styles of skank...

[Suckfailurebitch]

As soon as I saw you i recognized your style from your Rudie Can't Skank video. That's the one I use when I show my friends what skanking looks like.

[lonewolf060]

seriously? anyways opinions of this video aside you were off time a bit man just sayn...

[CalebMcGhoulson]

Hey ya skin head fuck just came by to rub it in your face that Im a featured video on how to skank. With 250k plus views.

Naw no hard feelings.

Much love

-Skank commander

[potatoparadox333]

this vid is way better than caleb's. sorry.

[MyTunnel]

Anyone who refers to themselves as 'skank commander' deserve any sort of satisfaction they can pull from life. Good for you!

[SPUpunk]

@MyTunnel  LMFAO

[thegirl44]

@MyTunnel

What'd he call himself? Spunk commander?

Sorry, this music, my hearing after all these years. You know how it is.

[KingRizlaa]

Life's a game, and you're losing, loser.

[CroatiasFinest1]

@CalebMcGhoulson you kind of a fag

[punkrok6]

@CalebMcGhoulson dude, you are such an obnoxious asshole, you realise this guy actually skanks unlike you

[Dem640]

[MiiCHiBOOMFILMS]

[99nirvanafan99]

choking victim-infested

operation ivy-bad town.

[solidvoorhees]

i like it, looks pretty fukin good. But learn shuffle, shuffler4life

[CollieLover23]

You rock

[jmeckle1]

My question is at what point in the evolution of ska did the dancing style switch from one that you do to get w/ a girl (in the 60s when you would "Do the ska"), to one that scares away all the girls (except the fat ones)?

[iddtelyoubut]

how do you do that other move that almost looks like your jumping? where your feet go in and out?

[StelmariaonE7]

This video is awesome! You broke it down and everything. I'm rhythmically challenged so I doubt I could ever get the dance right, hehe. :]

Also, props for not using that awful white-text on blue background for the explanations. Originality ftw.

[markydeeks]

it doesn't matter what you do, where you go, if your rich or your poor, into ska pop metal whatever, there is always some snob telling you how to dress dance and behave, be happy with yourself. roll how you want

[orangeguitargirl]

AMEN! thank you for saying that...all these people are annoying telling people how to dance, when it doesnt matter. thank you for agreeing with me.

[Punkforbrains]

hahahaha just skank the way you feel

Thats all you gotta do

[CityUndead]

This video's awesome. Now I can show people I'm talking to on the internet what skanking is without sounding like a dumbass XD

I love your style, by the way. Very kickass.

[Brayn1337]

@CityUndead I totally know what U mean, I had once a nice vid on youtube but its gone :'(

[nicthekid220]

DUDE!!!!

sick ass style.

nic longboard in the back ground also ; )

[Chuckwearsprada]

Amazing shit!

Bro your moves are the sex, hopefully one day my form will be that good

[MrBlukka]

oh my fuckin god m8,wot an absolute mug!!! lmao

[pezzypie]

Nice... Sexy. hah not many people actually know how to skank.

But you do fer sure

[plasterofparisify]

glad to see I am not the only one.

[LessThanMichael]

try to keep your upperbody a bit more straight, then it would've been perfect.

Still a great job though ;)

[victimizedsociety]

op ivy...bad town nice man good skankin to keep it up

[InfestedPunxx]

well you dont have to go and bash everyone on their skanking everyone has their own style of skanking some better than others but other than that NICE skankin! its a shame to see the ska scene start to die out but we wont let it die! keep skankin bro

[totalchaos09]

I was at this show 4-5 years ago, it the dead kennedys, minus jello at wake fest, anyway i seen this 9 year old skanking, fuckin' awesome

[UnionBlood]

hell yeah man, last time at the rancid show there was a 10 year old kid skanking to Time Bomb

[CrassPunk999]

Choking Victim is the shit dude.

[xmakeafistx]

I fucking love choking victim. Nice vid.

[MandiandSophie]

Choking Victim, oh God fuck yes. Ska Core all the way.

[LTDlanor]

Better skank on some real ska!

[xxjhnnyxx]

ur awsome at skankin dude. what was the second song u skanked too??

[xxjhnnyxx]

oh i got it, operation ivy - bad town

[foodfightlords]

yeah rock the loc!!!!!!

infested YEAhhhh

[tcwarriors]

"DAAAYYUMM BABY!" Niiiice! ;)

[RhysBienaime345]

0kay you are obviously american because in the uk we have a type of music called funky house (FUHN-KEE HOW-SS) and we skank to that if you wanna know what british skanking is look up the "Migraine Skank" what your doing looks like red neck country crap no ofence intended

[slimkt]

Yeah, the Migraine Skank and skanking are two completely different things. The Migraine Skank is done to as you say 'funky house' music, where skanking is usually done to ska music.

[cptsound1972]

Nice job dude. Dont listen to those other guys. They think everything is a mosh pit.

[LongliveNessie]

booooo. dude. skankings about fun.. there is no proper way to do it. and your getting all technical plus you suck.

[stickroll]

dude give me a break, just becuase kids arent up to your standards at skanking dosent mean they cant do it. everyone skanks different. my opinoin on you skanking "skills" sre that u suck . i see kids that have way more rythym then you. but skanking isnt a fuckin competition. its for fun and kids like your who are narrow minded and stuck up are ruining it.

[emmaliketotally]

BRING BACK THE SKANK!

[FranklinS123456]

i hate choking victim

[azwethinkweizcat]

meeeow you are a real fox

[Flatly102]

too much time.

[Sickboytragedy]

all he did was all hard skanks... th skinhead moonstompin was'nt like that... real skankin is'nt swingin your arms like that...

[xxAHIPPIExx]

[DocKillingsworth]

[ellri105]

[superrgorilla]

damn... this is confusing. im trying to learn.

[mrsmokebanshee]

Mind if I ask FUCKING WHY YOU ARE TRYING TO LEARN?! This is just a travesty of human intelligence.

[bluamage]

Wicked man, i really would love a tutorial about the 'jumping' like move :p

[mrwaffles84]

this takes me back :)

[NatTeCat]

i noticed that you only kick with one leg. is this a different style? cuz i learned to kick with both legs.

[LessThanKelso]

hahah I do what he does to. It just comes natural. Hahah. But he's mad good at what he does, haha.

[jaknife5436]

everyone can be good if they can make they're own skanking style

[LessThanKelso]

Agreed, just as long as you don't purposely bump into people and all that. I know people will knock others out of the pit because they think they're better than everyone else. Come onnnn. It's a ska show, we're here to love and have fun, not be better than everyone else, haha.

[jaknife5436]

thats what the fuck im talking about, ska is love and love is ska

[1990MicroIce]

its like c-walk or shuffle maybe a very very very little bit :P:D

[hornyronjeremy69]

no matter how awesome ska is, skanking just isn't... at all

[bumbumpoohead2211]

I Fort This Was How to Skank Not How to Look Like A Complete Knob????????

[Dallester]

Another techno-"skanker" eh.. gtfo

[Oi325]

[Saib0tx]

that skinhead stomp crap is weird. u should make a vid on how to do that.

Thankyou

First White Boy Who Can Do It Right.

[Gullatine5]

[x23XM4mm07hX32x]

love streetlight but.. y that song?! they have like 4 albums.. yu kiddin meh? lol not tha bad i guess.. ive seen worse calld skank.. A foh effort?

[punksailor89]

you can't skank...at ALL...just cause you can touch one elbow to the other knee without falling over does not mean you can skank...and worst songs to pick for a tutorial ever...

tip: ACTUALLY SKANK!!!! you have no form...and aren't even listening to the song...

RAISING FOR ONE AND KICKING WITH THE OTHER IS NOT SKANKING STOP NOW!!!

[IDKMeNoSe]

dont be so harsh.. each person skanks differnt... i dont like the song choice though

[murderjunkiezan]

Well then show us what the fuck skanking is.

[steo1017]

i had to watch this aain its so good i taught my friend hot to skank he was so off rhythm but now we just skank whenever we feel like it
