How to toprock. By Sasha.

[R8er1980]

I finally learned how 2 do this shit :D

[WyattDeS]

im just wondering why your in a hair salon. . . .

[jevans5145]

Your toprock is nicee

[bobatii]

what song is this?

[dsr07letsplay]

@bobatii The name of the song is Zulu War Chant by Afrika Bambaataa ;)

[kiazaza55]

กำมากๆ

[slybboysk8]

@kiazaza55 cant understand this :S

[Nsfangirl]

This is so not the toprock that I'm trying to learn.

Is there a difference between white toprock and asian toprock? Haha :P

[slybboysk8]

@Nsfangirl Ehem actually you can see the difference in everybody's toprocks depending on where did they learn it and how. Its some kind of a feeling that we put on our toprocks. For example I can see when somebody does a toprock from spain :D

The toprock you see in my video is a very simple and low leveled one. Its only for those who never did any.

[Pr0N0ob]

Forgot to mention the adding of your upper body (using your arms and shet to match or oppose your feet so overall it looks better) If your arms are just at the sides the whole time you look gay.

[slybboysk8]

@Pr0N0ob you must be joking and if not you are not right.

[Pr0N0ob]

@slybboysk8 uhhh no actually i think you have no idea what you're talking about. all i'm saying is for your arms ot go out with your feet like the indian step. applies with all toprocking...

[Nayan66]

@Pr0N0ob there are names for certain basic moves, but there is no special way of doing it, its all about adding your own flow thats what is making it awesome, these videos just help you with the basics and giving you a idea.

[bobatii]

@slybboysk8 dont listen to @Pr0N0ob, hes just an E-boy :D

[slakker321]

@Pr0N0ob thats called uprock..

[arawa9675]

thanks dude :D 

[theunnamedperson]

Very nice toprock :D

[Backburner96]

haha so when your top rocking ur kindve just bustin out with foot work but... its smoother and more choreographed into kindve steppin around in a circle and various steps and slight kicks into mid level??

[slybboysk8]

@Backburner96 Id better say: You have to know enough steps to just listen to the music and improvise combining all of them the way the music tells you to xD

[EinForster]

Wow, I really love your style!

[hoondypoondy]

thanks! very helpful! harder than it looks though! keep up the good work!

[hoondypoondy]

Thank you! very helpful, its harder than it looks !

[chanonbest]

ยาก มาก งง งง งง แดกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกก

[beanershot2007]

[FaSien]

[ZeKkOwalker]

WooooOOW

nice moves maann

i will practice my top rock now =P



[Bubciu3run]

not embrace :D

[naomipearl]

Thank you so much for this vid! I am a beginner at break dancing and toprocking so i appreciate starting from the beginning. You're great!

[alexandras4]

you simply got the groove buddy!!!

great movement flow and style!!! keep it up!!! :)

cheers from Greece...!!!

[Z11LIn]

the move starting from 1;08 can u go deeper into that? i cant see it clearly -.- like make a vid on it or tell me wat its called

[popinTroy107]

U StyLe Is CraZy KeeP It UP

[iamnotmikee]

dang lol i like ur style

[Dejpongha]

ยากหง่ะ ทำไม่ได้ซักที

[slybboysk8]

@Dejpongha I dont understand this :S

[Dejpongha]

@slybboysk8 I mean It's hard for me :D

[slybboysk8]

@Dejpongha its not hard trust me, if youre shy just do it when no one can see you infront of a mirror :P

[Dejpongha]

@slybboysk8 Ok I'll try on my room alone :D

[Dejpongha]

@slybboysk8 OK I'll try in my room alone :D

[kOLOSaL93]

It's good how your saying what to do when toprockin', but your missing out the part where you explain how to do the moves. Hahaa!

[slybboysk8]

@kOLOSaL93 well my idea was giving people an inspiring so they can do they own steps on beat. The first three steps are the once you should do same as they are and the rest was just an example ;)

[baywest]

I love that thing you did at 2:06 before the drop. It's kinda like a jerk lol but it had bboy flavor to it so it looked good.

[KoreanKimchiDavid]

YOU ARE SOOOO GOOD PLEASE MAKE AN EASIER TUTORIAL SO NOOBS LIKE US CAN LEARN :D

[kevinyancey09]

you the mannnnnnn thanks this helped me alot

[nerdyfruit123]

lol, something seemed lacking though

[BizzarContact]

ti prosto super =]

[KoreanKimchiDavid]

UR MY TOPROCK HERO!!!!

[azaleaofficial]

i learned a step watching you, i'm  learning breaking too ^_^

[ZudoKun]

i cant keep up :( lol

[rastaraul]

Real nice flow man , don't underestimate yourself , ever !

[baywest]

Nice toprock.. Reminds me of mine....except yours is smoother

[NoLiesAccepted]

first i wanted to write, that you need some more attitude, but you made me curious, so i watched some of your other videos...damn you rock!^^

[NoLiesAccepted]

haha first i saw you moving from the left to the right, not hitting the beat and i thought WTF, but your toprocks are clean, smooth...very nice ^^ a little bit more attitude maybe...but very nice toprocks

[HipCheck85]

you got swag, i like it, no homo

[Maschinepistol]

Ur Russian right?

[slybboysk8]

@Maschinepistol Yep I am ^^

[domicak]

[emerald0]

[xXSixxxeRXx]

[MegaQuinny]

[orlando5105]

[dominikwa]

Peace

[ramiabuhamra]

5/5 nice work keep up the good work and tell me when u make new vids cuz im really getting into break dancing and i want to learn from u.!@!@

[CALLMEFRAWG]

looks pretty good

keep it up!

[jeremiah23]

Thanks for the help your video inspired me and as of right now my toprock has improved from everyday practice! Thank You!!!

[HumpingFroggy]

My toprock looks so ugly :'(

[BrettNASTYY]

keep practicing!

the only way they'll look better is by practicing.

everyone's tops look bad at first, and the reason why is because they don't know what to do with their arms. practice arm motions.

and if its easier, practice your tops infront of a video camera, so that once your done sessioning, you can see what your faults are, and what worked.

Good luck!

[R8er1980]

dude add this in2 ur routine while doing the reject looka bad ass

[commentor911]

naw man thats not cool

[snowdude1080]

i never thought about like this before all i seen is the basics steps into uprocking LOVE THE VID 6/5

[PoltergeistGhost]

2:00 to 2:03 sweet

[gelanjp]

i have the toprock sickness X D

[athaocity]

now for any begginer bboys, putting the simple into complex is what makes success!! :D nice job guy, helped out too xD

[tarunramesh]

yeah was a nice tutorial, but it kinda looses me at the double step part, but nice toutorial none the less

[paydafee]

do it slower so people can learn

good toprock tho

[chuchouayang22]

gay bitch i live on christpot

[evilmickey]

Very good! 5*s!

[nickbbbbbbbb]

actually your toprocks are pretty good.not bad at all.

[Feilz0rx]

thanks dewd

[BgirlSupreme]

thx. i learn some new toprocks!

[spartanbin]

it's ok, but u gotta give more explanation. beginners will have a hard time focusing on both the lateral movement and the actual toprock steps simulaneously.

[schokoprinz]

ha, the double step in my toprock is something i do all the time. good tutorial though man. Shouldnt be critiqued to hard by other bboys since its just a basic step.

[heyyouriveraa]

This is a very easy toprock to learn, since its pretty simple. thnks 4 the tutorial

[iMeta4]

well one of the only things that I have the time and space to practice, and even that is limited.

[iMeta4]

Props for the tutorial. Sadly that is one of the few things that I can play around with.

[immiketran]

Awsome video. It'd be sooo much better if we could see your feet movement too =(

[slybboysk8]

I did with a small camera and it was very close to me :S

[iPianoAzn]

Hahaha, if I can do that, I'd be so fly! Nice job, I like your toprock, really good. 5/5

[DJNPHRS]

Yo waddup, I like ya tutorial, you have shown us the basics of toprocks. And yea, not many people uploaded Toprock tutorials as many 'Bboys' are just interested in learning Powermoves and overlooked the fundamentals of Bboyin - Mastering and add ya distinct flava of Toprock and footworks.

Spread the culture!

Peace,

DJ NPHRS

[yellowpaco]

yo man. this is yellowpaco. the other toprock tutorial dude haha. glad you made this for everyone and tried to help out. i never watched this til now.

keep hip hop alive

[dltjxor]

nice vid, can u help me wit my tops?

(my first time trying)

[kirillsk8tr]

really nice!!!! btw is that a hairsaloon? LOL

[slybboysk8]

Yes it is :D

[jump2that]

you speed it up too fast. since the end of step 2 i can't follow u any more ;(

double step is too much for me as a noob.

[slybboysk8]

Dont worry you only need the first two steps the double one is just an example of what you can be able to do later ;)

Anyway if you think a bit and do it slowly step by step the double step is just jump from one foot to another and switch their places all the time :P

[jzdhgkd]

you hit the beat good man =)

[mysteryguy25]

i thought u were fuckin bad in the begginning but then it turned out really good!!! you are so fucking good at this!!!

[bennettficial]

You're real good. I appreciate your laid back attitude, you're not claiming to be the best you're just showin us what you got. People need to be a little more humble sometimes, so good for you.

Maybe for us noobs you could break it down a little more. ;)  I think that "double step" is dope.

[Sikhboy20]

i thought this video was sick you are really good :D

[richard10rt]

sick shit...u dont gotta be a pro b...what chu doin is ill

[kazama246]

nice vid bro...toprock looks pretty cool

[AzNWalK3r]

ahh everytime i try this, i start to cwalk instead,

its really hard

[sss3d]

this is really good!

[myissokewl]

Omg i want ur toprock im tryna figure it out

[slybboysk8]

Ok for all those who say that my tutorial is too fast - The only steps people should copy from my tutorial are the first three ^^ The toprock front,back and doble (front and back :P) The toprock i do afterwards is just to give you and idea of what you could get to do by your own imagination. ;)

[ieatconheo]

any tips for me sasha imma try to breka what what should i do first top or moves?

[dabestbrawler]

deff get tha toprock down....cuz i learned tha hardway

[slybboysk8]

its very simple do my toprock, sixstep,babyfreeze and swipe. Then its up to you what to improve most. I love powermoves and tricks for example ;)

[senseiji221]

good advice ima go check out the swipe

[ieatconheo]

when u top rock do you have to stay in place?

[zoomich]

Pretty good stuff right there.

You just gotta break it down step by step.

[jockinKaZee]

bad tutorial.

beastly toprock.

that's a damn good rock you got there, you just gotta break it down alot more. for everyone else though. lol.

[SeoulSeek]

thtas a good ass toprock mate

[GeeSinSimSee]

Men you are amazing !! Could you PLEASE next time slow your tutorial moves a bit cuz I get lost while getting excited with your moves hehe :D:D LOVE YO !

[mrsobh]

What is the name of this song?

[bballer10590]

Zulu War Chant by Afrika Bambaataa

[ieatconheo]

can you toprock with anyshoes

[slybboysk8]

yes but better use the ones you find nicer ;) you'll feel better.

[henan8]

Your toprock rocks..

[WoahhItsChris]

your top rock is pretty sick. although you could at least teach people how to actually do it.like step by step.

[Sharerul]

Awesome stuff ((:

[Khultan]

No thanks.

[PwNzH3]

That is some sick toprockin right there one thing though you seem a bit stiff but its real nice

[kevinoneal]

i love your steps men,they are really good..I'm a beginner..it would help me if you do it a bit slower but anyway nice vid dude

[Magnadrift]

i really dont see how anyone could criticize you man, that was amazing stuff man!

your style is killer! :D

[bigpanda9390]

yo man that was a great vid... dont worry about people criticizing you or anything cuz honestly your style isn't bad and the whole point of bboying and top rocking especially is putting your own style and a little bit of yourself into it

great vid man, keep them coming...

[Riddicks26]

Your top rock is pretty cool. I learned few thing from this vid. ;)

[daijikano]

R U kidding me? Anyone who criticizes this video (instead of giving friendly advices) is obviously some loser who can only feel better about him/herself from belittling others.

Great video! 5/5

[ManEaterL]

5/5. Great!

[samoutx]

very nice toprock. i am not bboy but my friend is. i like his style, but yours was a litle better.

[desmond99999]

Nice man^^

[atResQ]

good job!

[wiljoo]

very nice. each step was very easy to follow. great guide :D

[Hotsoup4ever]

okay just putting it out there. but a toprock isnt like a powermove. toprocks are all about your style and what you put into it. and this vid gave tips. but copying it wont help at all. :]

great tut/tip/guide thing. lol

[JaboBabo]

loved it! i was in a club the other night with some great dancers. i have the tools and i pick up stuff quick but i really want to get this down... great moves man.

[leontd]

thanks a lot man, i got it from this vid

[mpyroraptor]

I like your style man!!!5 stars!!...but this didn'y help me much cause you do the moves very fast

[slybboysk8]

Dont worry you only have to start with the first 2 steps ;) Then you gonna get others or even try to invent your own stepts!

[mpyroraptor]

thnx man!I'm bboying for 3 months so I have to practise!!

[MsMotley99]

awesome! thank you for the great guide dude

[Kranos05]

this was the first guide i ever used and it helped lots

[BellamyInSheffield]

LOL! when you first came on the screen I thought hear we go another terrible tutorial that will waste my time, Never judge a book by it's cover!!! Great guide and very good choice of music! I have just started Breaking and this will definately help me, thanks man!

[deyangBBOY]

verygood

thank you~！

[blacksharpie2010]

The first few seconds I watched this I was like ".. okay.." but dude this is definitely a great guide! Keep it up!

[StenniZ77]

Verrrrrrrrrry nice moves man! Thanks for teachin' us! :)

[suzsnooze]

[dannyhutchins003run]

[mcthelight]

[xZacharYx7]

[bboyremikz]

Jk you were on the beat man that was the coolest part about it! keep doin ya thing!

[bboyremikz]

[bboyremikz]

rock***

[5845147]

how is he off beat? as far as i can see, he lost the beat maybe once or twice for a few seconds but he was consistent

[jartocha]

your video heped me out

[generfeld]

this is wonderful toprocking. I like your style a lot, how your arms are loose and flow with the rest of your body...like the fist circles at 1:27...and the downward stabbing motions like 1:19...awesome

[slybboysk8]

Thank you for theese words.

[GASPERHOMIE1]

man...u have no idea how this helped me when i decided to start b boyin...i have my toprock now, im workin on my footwork and freezes, no power yet jaja...pz!!!!!!

[joetheazl]

[CovertOperations78]

Thank you for posting this! Your video is very helpful.

[bboybendi]

[sashans13]

0h man, u're so good. Try making some powermove tutorials, im sure u'll do a great job! Nice done!

[FUNKtionDJ]

I liked your toprock by the way.....light as a feather

[FUNKtionDJ]
