[wudiewudie]

thank you so much for this vid. this is one of the video i checked out earlier and it really helped me a lot. right now, i already know how to do this. and i'm so damn happy. it's kinda my prerequisite for the back handspring. =D

[markovsembel]

So difficult --_-- but nice vid!

[regniel1]

esta errado vc está começando torto.

[liquidocelot36]

its valdez?

[DeterminationParkour]

I'm learning this to get over my fear of going backwards for back-handsprings and backflips

[ne0l0]

@DeterminationParkour yeah i got macaco first, should help with bhs

[TheGflips]

there is a diffrence between monkey flip and macaco

[bboyfabolous1994]

@TheGflips Macaco is monkey in portuguese

[TheGflips]

@bboyfabolous1994 I mean there's a diffrence between the movement

[bboyfabolous1994]

@TheGflips ah, ok

[ViralZen]

I WANNA BE LIKE YOU :D

[kenxlee]

Nice tutorial, thanks man.

[bb0yba0]

ur breaking is as majestic as ur body. keep up the good work.

[jermes]

this guy is jacked D:

[TheRuben8811]

Great video!!! Check out my vid! This info will change the world.

[YourBetrayalx3]

This looks like a back handspring the only difference is your squatting down;)

[BiteThatBullet]

@YourBetrayalx3

yup. It is a variation of the gymnastic back handspring.

[YourBetrayalx3]

@BiteThatBullet Yeah. A boy in my gymnastics class use to throw backhandsprings that look exactly like this flip. lol

[parkourkid419]

thanks. the kids n school dropped their jaws...

[Lemur666TV]

the best video on youtube to tutorial macaco

[Antin0ob567]

i will land on neck.

[yellowleopard37]

Do you lift your legs up before the hand that goes back reaches the ground???

[yellowleopard37]

Would it be better to start on a trampoline? I have my backhandspring so it'll probably be easier.  Trampoline?

[DrPicklesify]

i would really appreciate an airflare tutorial... PLEEEEEEEASE!

[muXize]

next time shave.

[RikaZenin]

@muXize Your not here to watch his hair..

[KumoTheTurtle]

So I can get to the point of going from standing, to squatting, to a bridge smoothly, but I have to pause and do a back walkover before I can get the rest D:

[chiinny1]

so cool move.............. :)

[youmandrd]

he really likes fucking the air (this is a joke)

[Tabloid922]

i would have taken this seriously if you were wearing a shirt.

[MrBattManiac]

Press 4 rapidly. for dirty stuff

[hotsuma4]

its like wrestling....

[sneakerflow]

It looks like he's trying to do a back handspring crooked. I'm confused. But maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. idk.

[TweeTwee56]

back muscles.

[PIamenPenchev]

ur muscles made up my day <3 ^^

[SoulOne94]

Can you teach us to do a bridge because I just can't get my arms to straighten..

[Cookie8151]

hey man do you have to have really good arm strength to do this? and also i'm a beginner/intermediate, so do you think I could do this?

[pureownshard]

@Cookie8151 I don't think you do, since you keep your arm straight. Most of the move comes from the kicking of the legs. Your hands just stay stiff and the momentum carries you over. It's much simpler than you think it is- I learned it in a single session with a spotter, and i'm a shit bboy. Stare straight at your left hand as you go back for good form. Just DO IT.

[TomasRydval]

Hi, very nice ;-)

[lolyali]

hey man i gotta question, do you kick with ur feet or no...

[super10style]

first song?0:00~

[darkcaper703]

wat is defined as good bridges?

[TheEpicFurryWolf]

lol Epic Monkey Picture!

[MrHerbNspice]

the name of the song isn't saffron. it's vinca rosea by metal fingers and it's on special herbs vol 9-0

[MexiSpice]

@MrHerbNspice

Good catch, I made the correction

[7811jess]

u r soooo fit!!!

[kalonjikalonji]

how easy is this to learn champ?

[ernestosarabia]

exelent work mate!!! wish i could break like that.

all the best

[ChangAndyChang]

Shit. What abs! :O

[AHvmpingD0gi]

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS SONG?

[Bboy012]

Backhand springs are a big help to. Same with backbends

[iPianoAzn]

i might try to attempt this outside. im afraid i might collapse the ceiling if i land and fall too hard :P

[X39280]

i got a problem..when ever i try this i cant get my legs up and my arms bend the other way and fail...any help??

[Hadoukenspazam1]

you kinda look like ryan from the office XD, great tut btw never did it before but when i did it, it felt like i was making progress

[natezor11]

Also called a Valdez if done with one hand all the way through.

[Tatsuki237]

Some guy tried to teach me this at a rave and I couldn't get it, but I literally got this first try watching this o.o The look straight back and use your other arm for momentum really helped.

[vietxforlifex]

lol to easy

[amrishh09]

Hey there..really need some help from u guys..here's mah problem : i've got all the flexibility and strength needed to do these flips/moves but i cant even do this macaco, which looks so easy...:(

i think im too scared to really try it...could you gimme some advice please?..;)

i would really appreciate it..thnx :D

[samita808]

@amrishh09 wear a helmet, even elbow and knee pads if ur really scared, and try it on grass or a mattress u moved on the ground. and if u can try and get a spotter who u know wont laugh at your endeavours :) and btw, breakdancing ALWAYS looks easier than it is if the breaker is good so dont feel bad about urself lol

[KTBeats]

what are some stretches to give myself more back flexibility? my back can't seem to bend as much as yours and everyone else that i've seen doing backbridges

[MrJherms]

again...upper body strength?

[SanojLTL]

nice makes me think of capoeira

you see you can relate to all kind of dances

thanks for the tutorials

peace

[KurtSam143]

@ gmodroxx5

na dude u dont gota be flexible at all, atleast if u can do that bridge shet then yah u can do it easy

[realkef]

valdez

[KurtSam143]

DAM! thanks! after i just watched this vid i tryed it out a couple of times and i got it dude

[gmodroxx5]

hey dude do u need to be flexible to do that?

[lesebok]

@gmodroxx5 I dont think you have to be so very flexible ;)

[Rg3646]

it is pretty much a modified valdez. look it up

[Kjori13]

Dunno if its on purpose, but you're going sideways,

Still looks nice :P

[888167]

just look at the description man

[xXBboyiceXx]

The beginning of the video the song that says 'lets move tonight' What song is that?

[Lazol90]

i can do this before knowing this lesson -.-

[888167]

so why did you watch it?

[3RUNsonic]

When you put your first hand down, place it next to your right foot, not your left one. That spin you're adding is forcing you to go sideways...

And anyone that is scared of doing it just stop. It's a basic move, easy to learn and the chances of serious injury are minimum. Go for it :)

[bboydrive]

this move isnt that hard to do, just follow the motions correctly, and you should naturally do one.

[shuffletoon9]

wow u are good with tutorials

[JaMasta300]

1. this took me about two weeks in my basement

2. i did this on my spare time of about a half an hour

3.just used to doing the chair motion like it says then just kicking your legs over your body and after about 100 try's or so while going to the sides eventually you will be impressed.

[whatilive4drama]

HOLY CRAP !!!!!!!!! AWESOME 11111

[veloxfan]

i do it on my left side X)

[XxAznDaggerxX]

i just tried doin a bridge and figured out i can do one =D, but it kills my stomach...tips? :P

[BboyyBrady]

strechin and i guess crunches :D

[nikko23miguel]

how days did you learned this?

how did you practice this at youre 1st time?

I want to do it but Im scared. IMAO...

[leitecumcarne]

how old are you?

[darkcaper703]

[Sambucca]

Dude has such a hot body. I wanna lick him from head to toe.

[amyinvertthenhurt]

[trulgn]

Hey man i c u have asked the same question i wish 2 know since u posted this a while ago i'm just wandering if u have managed 2 find the track yet ?

[wordey123]

@trulgn nope. i looped the sample he used.. check out the one video i uploaded.. i put my version in there.

[wordey123]

@trulgn actually, i only posted a short clip on that video i talked about... but you can definitly get a free audio editing program (audacity) download it and loop the sample used in this vid.

[I9F6R13E5]

[icjbm]

oh yeah

[bboyoblivion15]

valdez??0_o

[sergiotiza]

yes!^^

[Floorguy1000]

hey yo...I really like your b-boy posts. Nice beak downs of the moves. You also are expert and have real control --- this control is what makes your moves a good cut above most posts.

Thanks again.

[minymiley12]

does it matter what hand you put down first?

if your left handed or right handed?

[MexiSpice]

Nope, you should be able to use either one once you get the move down.

[shaolindude1]

there's one thing i can't understand in macaco:how to learn to take the hand over you'r head is there any steps to learn how to do that?

[Flipingoboe]

hey man i dont have a teacher and a gym can i train in grass??

[MexiSpice]

You can do this on the level grass no problem.

[0mrme0]

@MexiSpice what do you mean lvl grass? flat surface?

[MarkyboYO55]

@Flipingoboe yea but dont try to do something like windmill unless you want grass stained clothes

[Aztecwisdom7]
