However, the rest of the world trained hard. Suddenly, we had trickers, guys who combined airtracks into one handed airtracks, and the great guys from style elements crew got older and older while younger folks and new crews emerged.
@shevegen Uhhh, but Style Elements remained at the top all the way til 2003 or so. It's only around this time that countries like Korea started rising up and winning more comps.
And you're talking about airflares, not airtracks. Airtracks have been done by guys like Kujo back even in 92 bro. Airflares came later and connecting airflares was started in the U.S. by Pablo.
heck no wonder america (im an american) has barely won since these guys! its because we take things to seriously and try to look all cool when the rest of the worlds just trying to have fun. these guys look like there having so much fun, i love breaking. its the most trasume thing ever.
Actually, Salah was at that BOTY competing with another French crew (not the Family). And Salah has been to the U.S. to battle. He battled Mike Watson from Atlanta.
korea wishes they had flava and style like remind and style elements in this clip.......please im tired watching them spin on there heads and do hollow backs......... get creative.......what the fuck!!!!!!!people dont know shit.
datzz kind of tru. mostly for BOTY korean bboy crews have been champion 5 times.u.s.a. twice. Best show: japan bboy crews 6 times. runner up japan bboy crews 4 times.U.S.A. once
@brodyd81 This was in 97 idiot. Back in 97, this routine was considered amazing because Korea and other countries were nowhere near this level of creativity and the moves.
And over time, up til 2003 this crew and other U.S. crews, were doing moves and tricks other countries couldn't yet really pull off. That's reigning for 7 years as the world's best. In 2002 Korea started to rise up, and around 2005 they were kind of killing it all over and being one of the best.
@brodyd81 And in around 2009 it started to balance out, with crews like the Squadron, SKMZ, etc, of the U.S. winning international comps again.
From the 70's to late 80's America was on top. In the 90's to mid 90's Europe took it over pretty much. Then America rose up in about 96 and did it again all the way to about 03 or 04. Then came Korea and Europe again, and U.S. back again.
@brodyd81 So the U.S.' streak from 1973 to now, has been twice and spanned in three different decades so about 22 years altogether combined. Korea and Europe's reign throughout then to now, even combined doesn't add up to America's streak.
@Holyfiremikey Sorry man I didn't know I was in the presence of a fucking bboy historian. Good god relax. Next time I'll read the wikipedia entry on "breakdancing" so I can be as smart and educate people like you. Eat a dick...... idiot.
@Holyfiremikey Yes I admit my ignorance. From now on I'll copy and paste all my comments verbatim from wikipedia and be a cock face telling everyone they're an idiot just like you. If you focused more energy on bboying instead of trying to prove yourself on the internet you might actually be descent. Great top rocks and a few moves biten from movies isn't going to get you anywhere.
Their commando routines were off the chain!!!!

Style elements were the best crew in 1997
They won the finals easily.
1998 it was phaze 2
After that, there was a decline in US bboying ... they are still good, especially at some jams, but the other countries caught up immensely.
I love old school though...
