This is one of the best breakdancing videos I have seen. Back in my younger days I was really good. To old for it now. I might break something. Almost 54 yrs old. Wish I was young enough to do it again. We used to break it till 3 AM. All fun. no fighting, no drugs, no alcohol, everyone had respect and complemented others...just chilling and dancing.
I came looking for break dancing from the 80s/90s because of a comment on Facebook. A 58 year old saying Merrick Hanna’s style of dancing/modern dancing was stupid. Lololol like where was that dude? Not at the nightclubs ha my neighbour used to put a collapsed cardboard box on the front lawn to practice for the competitions. And yep, no booze or drugs - no need- the euphoria came from dancing 💃
if any is interesting or want to know the names of the songs here they are: 1st. Jam On it - Newcleus 2nd. Electric Kingdom - Twilight 22 3rd. Rock the Bells - 'LL Cool J
The first two I knew, but the last sounded like The Beastie Boys. If that was actually LL Cool J then someone stole that sound. Who did it first, the Beasties or LL? Or did they both steal it from someone else?
Notice how back in the day, we had Black, Hispanic, and White all united, as one crew, no violence, just creative expression, and mutual respect and admiration for one another.
Yep.. I miss the 80s and 90s.. This shit sucks now in days.. Anyone who talks shit about race relations (in comparison to today) in the 80s and 90s never lived through them..
To all you young bucks that continue to keep this dance alive, im proud of you, as an old school breaker its always a pleasure to see the passion and innovation in your moves, keep on breaking my brothers
yeah, but i'm worried about some of these head-on-floor moves, they can BREAK YOUR NECK and leave you a quadriplegic for the rest of your miserable life. It's very easy to break the neck. These types of moves should be banned until medical science learns how to repair spinal breaks. Even Olympic Gymnastics has banned many dangerous moves due to gymnasts breaking their necks. Same should be done with break dancing.
@@pedestrianrights1257 That's why it's called "breakdancing". Break by "breaking your bones" and dancing is just dancing. Breakdancing is a dangerous dance style. But it's worth it. Also, for the head-on-floor moves, you gotta have balance. Always spin on the middle of your head, and wear a beanie or something comfortable, gives you less pain. I, as an 11 year old that breakdances, almost broke my leg, elbow, and knee. Sucks to suck! Still, if you're learning to breakdance, good luck. Never give up, starting is always the hardest in breakdancing, but when you get the flow you should be good!
@@kresashadow "But it's worth it.", the only way y00 have the right to say that is if *Y00* are actually the one taking the risks & doing the dances. If, on the other hand, y00 want OTHER people to do the dance (and get hurt) for Y00r entertainment, then that's just cowardly.
@@pedestrianrights1257 said the person not from the inner city. I loved watching the older kids breakdance when I was little. You will never see that era in real life again. Mad love and respect my inner city creators
@@kresashadow No, it's called breakdancing because in the early days of hip hop DJs like Cool Herc would keep the 'breakbeat' going - the part of the track that emphasised the drums - by mixing records, and he called the kids who went crazy and danced to it 'breakers', or Bboys and Bgirls. There's a bit of jawing over the correct terminology, but this kind of dance is called breaking. 'Breakdance' has a commercial flavour to it, and is used more generally to include popping and locking.
@Reveresflash Haha that's awesome! I want to get into breakdancing i just don't know where to start...i just know how to baby freeze on my right side but i wouldnt say it looks clean
This is fresh as f%#k! I remember kids laying out the cardboard outside school with their boomboxes before school started and breakin' back around '83 or so, but it wasn't anything like this!
Yeah these guys are way beyond what I ever saw. The amount of muscle strength you have to have in your neck to support the weight of your entire body is crazy. And balancing all your weight on one hand?!? These days I can barely do a handstand against the wall 😆
no we should just shoot eachother because then we will be dead which means we will are be dead which we can do by killing eachother which will make us dead which is why we should be dead because we can kill eachother so we will be dead when we kill eachother so we should do that and we will be dead when we die from killing eachother which will make us dead so we wont be alive because we will be dead because we got killed by eachother
Bro they did dance like this back in the day the gymnastics dance like this in the 80's bro all fact's nothing really evolve just move on bro nyc breakers wanted to battle the gymnastics but I don't know it happened !!
Yeah -- here, wasn't sure what I really saw -- had to see again. Incredible -- these cats really are at a level I never know and deserve to be better known -- far more skilled than many in other fields that have more publicity.
Yer that head slide at 5.50. Worth a second an third look. Im 47 now an used to think was cool doin swan dives an maybe a crazy leg or two. Imagine doin these moves in the eighties. Holy moly.
@@afrohighborn262, don't know how old you are but I came from the generation that put all this on the map. This originated on the streets by African Americans and Latino's and was also used as another form to replace violence, although in many cases some violence still persisted. I am proud to see how much it advanced with some moves I wouldn't had even tried by in the early 80's when I was doing it. But again, it came from the streets and blacks and Latinos created it, now people from all walks of life are doing it. Do not take what we created in discredit any of us who started this, so I'm not sure what you were referring to when you made your comment about only one black guy, but i take it as disrespectful to one of the originators of this craft.
@@williamh3950 no blacks were the ones that started break dancing the Latino may have had small contribution but not enough to make it a Latino thing so stop with the bs.
When breakdancing came to the West coast in the early 80's I got into it and practiced up to 6 hrs a day. I had a ton of trophies/awards. I was one of the best and was in numerous clubs. My crew (Whiteline Breakers) beat the L.A breakers at Knotts Berry Farm in 1984. We were doing wiz-rocks and flares when no one else was.However, these guys would make us look ridiculous! The transitions from flares to glides to head/elbow spins is UNBELEIVABLE! These guys are on a different level. Even their uprocking is technical. Crazy how things progress...
its all about momentum, center of gravity, inertia and an understanding of visual dynamics....and then rythm and ability!!! hahahaha! i cld pop n lock n back spin and all that BUT this is INSANE!!! the freezes, the intros the acrobatics r unbelievable! wish i wasnt 45 with slipped discs now...still gets my heart racing!! LOVE IT!!!!!
Im an 80s NYC Break Dancer, these B Boys today are incredible. The athletic ability the creativity, great stuff. Beyond anything we could have imagined back than. The sound track to this video brings back great memories, thanks for posting this.
Kev S Yes, these guys are taking it to new level. Its great to see it move on and evolve. Those songs still thump in my chest. Man that's the heart of Hip Hop
Kev S You were a New York City Breakers dancer? You must remember the classic 80 movie Beet Street. The NCY BREAKERS were in that movie. I learnd to dance watching them.
The advancement of Breakdancing is amazing, Back in my day, if you could windmill you were the s#%t.. and if you could headspin you were a GOD!!!... These dudes are lightyears beyond
Personally I think one of the main reasons why breaking stopped in 86 was because of lack of new moves and people got bored of doing and watching the same moves so it got old, no one wanted to dance any more until the new generation took it to a new level, back then I never thought that breakers would be able to do all these continuos moves with this level of difficulty.
When Germany started hostin "Battle of the Year" durin the early 90s, b-boyin had become underground and America had pretty much forgotten about it. Other countries kept improvin, Korea and France durin the 2000s. The moves got crazier over those years.
I love this music!! Back in the day my mom and her friends jammed to this and was breakdancing in the house! Then when I got older DJ’s would put this in the mix! Love it
Im 54 years old. And I did this at the V.I.P. Under 21 dance club in Baden PA!! 1982-1983! They had break dance contest for 30 min! On Sunday Nights! And I was also voted MR V.I.P. For the model search that night! Hola!
This song is way back from my early days...I had this casette that came with a breakdancing posters. These dancers are incredible. The strength..agility...
Man im a 70's baby..u r so right I had to look at it 3 times to see the upper body strength...I can flip but that's another level of break dancing. loving it..they need to just at it at least twice a year...to keep kids off the street...
Guy F YOU CAN NEVER LIE!!!! I WAS NEVER THAT AGILE BUT I USED TO GET IT IN BABY 82-87 BUT DAMN THESE GUYS WOULD SMOKE ME EVEN IN MY YOUTH!!!! DAMMIT THEY ARE SICK WITH IT!!!! I BOW DOWN TO THIS SHIZZLE
You ain't kidding... I'm very impressed as to how far they've taken this as for me back then, I woulda never thought of makin' some of them moves. Holy fukken crap! Thank you to the OP as this has brought me a helluva great memories of me breakdancing after school at 3 o'clock in the school backyard in Queens, NY. Brings a tear to my eye. :(
Good comment, I will research that one. Correct me if im wrong before I look it up, Jam on it came out in 83, the 909 was made in 84 or 85. Them boys must of had connections with Roland.... In any situation, my personal favorate was that uncanny early 80's sound that the 808 had, timeless, today they bring in big bucks too, if you can find one. Wish I still had mine.
These guys push the boundaries of strength and human physiology. You'd think that stopping inertia would tear more ligaments and break more bones. Amazing.
i want to know what they are doing to be able to jump so high, as far as i know its a well kept secret, tried looking it up but cant find it, too bad just trying to jump higher doesn't force the body to build more power for it.
5641616341485 The first kind of jump these guys do is a movement of momentum in the first place, as you see most of them run. Blocking technique, look it up. Second, is pure leg strength, these guys love to jump, it's their hobby, and their passion, also, core strength, the ability to pull themselves into a ball in mid air at the flick of a wrist. It all comes with learning flips, and then you know how to jump high.
I'm a 1980's teen grew up with all the awesome music of the 1980's. Breakdancing and poping.I remember some fights being settled by a breakdancing contest,now It's guns.Thank you for the Tribute.I think these guys are Awesome. Class of 1984
there where still fights, don't believe it solved every dispute/argument, but it certainly helped put an end to who's crew was the best in a specific battle.
As someone who was part of the generation and pioneered Break Dancing. Im very proud to see it's still ALIVE! and has gone to a whole new level , but still grounded in it's roots.
Such dancers will blow away all athletes from any sport. What they do with their bodies demands lots of hard work, wicked athleticism and strict discipline. Too bad we do not see this in the streets like the old days kids going at it.
Incorrect. It’s all conditioning. The core strength and stamina of these dancers is the impressive part. Extreme core strength isn’t necessarily required in sports like Basketball and Football. These guys would get dusted in aspects like speed and vertical. It’s all conditioning.
I agree with Kev s. I was also involved when break dancing was just getting started. Rock Steady Crew ruled. I'm old (er) now. I kicked ass back in the day but these guys are beyond ANYTHING we even thought about doing. They are so athletic, gymnastic, and creative. Far above what we did which was innovative at the time. Props to them all and keep rocking. In my opinion Breakdancing should be an Olympic sport.With due respect to gymnasts they have NOTHING on these guys : )
Theres a lot of jealous old skool folk criticising these lads. I dont know why because i think they are awesome. I think its with anything. Folks get bored of seeing the same shit. These guys evolved and took breakdancing to another level. Keep it up lads.
JalandharShere I don't think it's jealousy some of us are just old school 80's and that is the way we like it plain and simply. nothing wrong with todays breakers/breakdancers at least they're keeping it alive and possibly making it better and improving on it. the 80's is still alive even today whether you agree or not this is just my opinion.
This music reminds me of the good days and he dances are so great. This makes my heart so happy to see all of this in he year of 2020Gis bless every one A-Men from. Angelina Ayala from Las Vegas, Nevada
marco verdejo you must have been like 5 when break dancing was ariubd. I'm 47 and this was hot in early 80s by the time I graduated HS in 88 it was gone..glad you casn still put the movies on brotha
It's crazy that we used to break as much as we could back in high school (early-mid 2000s) and all that is now a nostalgic memory from over a decade ago.
Made Respect Coming From 1 Of The Baddest 85 Breakers That Are Watching These Young Men Absolutely Kill It To Mu Favorite Jawn Jam On It / 2 Turntables & A Mic /DJTonyRome@Soundcloud
When Germany started hostin "Battle of the Year" durin the early 90s, b-boyin had become underground and America had pretty much forgotten about it. Other countries kept improvin, Korea and France durin the 2000s. The moves got crazier over those years, but mainstream USA had moved on to commercialized hip hop.
Sad but true, USA did catch up at one point but are so behind now because of the blending with mainstream hip hop vs actual hiphop.. 4 elements, nothing else!
Shout out to the Bronx for founding Hip Hop Culture. One Love New York! Back then ppl (white ppl) thought rapping, breaking, popping, graffiti, and DJing were the worst things. NOW LOOK!!!
Lordsincere1 yea, now it's transformed into drugs, guns, sex and everything violence and murder..thanks hip hop..maybe in 20 years they will say thank you for today's rap?
Dude that is bullshit the remark u made about white ppl thinking breaking rapping n dj ing were the worst thing u could do . My friends n me used to hangout on the corner n listen to the radio n breakdance on refrigerator boxes back in the day . White black yellow or brown it doesn't matter because we were all friends now we just wanted to have a good time.
The Best ! When I was 4 and then some peeps used to show up at my elementary schools with cardboard and boombox’s - my bro and I in gymnastics dance ect break aka broke danced in our drive way garage and especially on our linoleum floors yeah after watching breaking 1 or 2 electric boogaloo and jamming on cassette still have to Larry Wolfe and the street beaters
The time has come to understand and accept such a marvelous skill and art! I remember how long it took for Hip Hop to be considered a category next to Rock, Country, Jazz etc. Hopefully, this also will happen within my lifetime. (Original B-Boy from Lawtown MA!) Aka: Mr. Glyde
Those days will never come back when I see this I think am 13 again I get so excited and think I could do it at the age of 52 WOW amazing for me I love it
Luis where do you think they got these moves from? do you think they just started doing those moves in 2012. everything that you are seeing in 2012 has already been done. and what kids have been doing is keeping break dancing alive, it was back then part of the hip hop culture. and yes, back then they were treated like Gods....it was awesome then and it is equally awesome .now............peace OG DJ
Im 50 from BK.. they got allot of *sizzle* moves for sure.. eye poperz..but I don't get the "BBoy" feeling/style of what break dancing was..even back in the dayz acrobatics didn't always win a battle..but 100% respect to these cats.
Oh yes!!! Great memories! I Looked forward to every Friday, and Saturday night at The Palace Skating Rink, hanging out with great friends! We blocked the rink off, and did this. 🥰🙌🏻 #SouthFlorida #OldSchool
My kids, who are 5&3, have taken an interest in breakdancing. We watch this video about 24 times a day while they try to emulate the moves. Lol. Gotta be young and STRONG to do this stuff. Amazing.
+ucheucheuche but olympics has lots of sportsmanship, not of this maximum disrespect dancing in their faces. in other words 2 funky 4 them classy pricks
Very long time ago, crazy legs tried to get bboying in the Olympics but failed since he said judging would favor style over power, I'm sure if they tried again and said power is greater than style it would be up for discussion. In all of Olympics difficulty of moves wins over creativity, in which bboying works opposite.
I would really love to learn break dancing. I'm already a dancer as it is.I love to dance. I love to see men breakdancing.Nice adult male body. I'm fascinated with watching men breakdance. Super hot male dancers,!!!!.

I couldn't agree with you more!! Such immense talent!!
No for women 😂
NO, they don't deserve our efforts.
These guys push the boundaries of strength and human physiology. You'd think that stopping inertia would tear more ligaments and break more bones. Amazing.
i want to know what they are doing to be able to jump so high, as far as i know its a well kept secret, tried looking it up but cant find it, too bad just trying to jump higher doesn't force the body to build more power for it.
5641616341485 momentum
5641616341485 The first kind of jump these guys do is a movement of momentum in the first place, as you see most of them run. Blocking technique, look it up. Second, is pure leg strength, these guys love to jump, it's their hobby, and their passion, also, core strength, the ability to pull themselves into a ball in mid air at the flick of a wrist.
It all comes with learning flips, and then you know how to jump high.
Breakdancing must never Die it should be an Olympic sport in my book
I agree!!!!!!!
I agree to!👍👍
J antonio Gutierres I agree 100% an Olympic sport that's the truth
J antonio Gutierres there was discussion of that internationally
J antonio Gutierres it does take incredible athleticism.
I'm a 1980's teen grew up with all the awesome music of the 1980's. Breakdancing and poping.I remember some fights being settled by a breakdancing contest,now It's guns.Thank you for the Tribute.I think these guys are Awesome. Class of 1984
there where still fights, don't believe it solved every dispute/argument, but it certainly helped put an end to who's crew was the best in a specific battle.
OMG! THE 80s nd 90s "the best we ever had!"
One year later and not even 30 likes how many Americans even watched this video!
Yessssss.....😍
This music and dance takes me back to the 80s life was simpler then and thease guys are bad ass much more advanced then i was a break dancer...😎
Apati
Let's bring it back!!
❤️ This seriously needs to come back ASAP ❤️
In the 80's in chicago this is how we settled our disputes instead of guns.
+jimmy williams good for you I am 77 do the break dances I love to watch no guns just love each other
+jimmy williams Why not just fight each other without guns? Damn pussies.
I know right
I come out of Indy, maybe I done took you to school before?
Dance fights! YEAH!
As someone who was part of the generation and pioneered Break Dancing. Im very proud to see it's still ALIVE! and has gone to a whole new level , but still grounded in it's roots.
Bboy subzero rocksteady reppin the bronx I'm proud too fam I love the new gens skillz and taggin art style! Wyld style rep
It is now incorporated with the Olympics, yay!!!
@@kellyroberts7268 olympics?! No way!!!
Such dancers will blow away all athletes from any sport. What they do with their bodies demands lots of hard work, wicked athleticism and strict discipline.
Too bad we do not see this in the streets like the old days kids going at it.
Now we have... Fortnite dances?
im 14 and im learning windmills and i plan to do headspins. also f*** fortnite dances
@the_plague *doctor* last time I saw the orange justice I thought I was watching an eplieptic person go into a club
Incorrect. It’s all conditioning. The core strength and stamina of these dancers is the impressive part. Extreme core strength isn’t necessarily required in sports like Basketball and Football. These guys would get dusted in aspects like speed and vertical. It’s all conditioning.
Just because they are professional break dancers that doesn't mean that they would be a expert at every single sport out there.
I agree with Kev s. I was also involved when break dancing was just getting started. Rock Steady Crew ruled. I'm old (er) now. I kicked ass back in the day but these guys are beyond ANYTHING we even thought about doing. They are so athletic, gymnastic, and creative. Far above what we did which was innovative at the time. Props to them all and keep rocking. In my opinion Breakdancing should be an Olympic sport.With due respect to gymnasts they have NOTHING on these guys : )
💯 agree with that…The best gymnasts in the world cannot compete with this.
Man these guys are AMAZING, and I too grew up in the 80's
IM 49 YEARS OLD....THIS IS MY ERA FROM THE EARLY 80,S WHEN HIP HOP WAS THE SHIT!!!!
Love it.......memories....49 pushing up on 50!
Facts. Mine too. I'm 51
True that!!
same here 46...
I'm 46 and can totally remember having my Gettoblaster and going out trying to break dance
Theres a lot of jealous old skool folk criticising these lads. I dont know why because i think they are awesome. I think its with anything. Folks get bored of seeing the same shit. These guys evolved and took breakdancing to another level. Keep it up lads.
I agree.... these guys are awsome and im sure they respect the oldskool way.
JalandharShere you right!! they never break dance at this level!! and m old scool!!
JalandharShere I don't think it's jealousy some of us are just old school 80's and that is the way we like it plain and simply. nothing wrong with todays breakers/breakdancers at least they're keeping it alive and possibly making it better and improving on it. the 80's is still alive even today whether you agree or not this is just my opinion.
jonjor1987 there should be zero criticism. Be glad they are keeping the art alive. Better that it evolves rather than dying.
+rafael trejo it's acrobatics.
breakdancing
they had acrobatics in the 80s it's just thhat it wasen't mixed with breakdancing
these young men are AMAZING!
You can see why Breakdancing is now included in the Olympics... these guys aren't dancers, they're freakin athletes!
Hold up, One ignorant @$$ can’t dance 💃 Whyte woman fukd it up 🆙 so now they are not allowing it..
This did not age well
@Sal_needs_Salt bro i know. I'm Australian and apologise for Raygun
Not after Austria
I wish we could go back to the ‘good old days’ 🥺
We sure will!! This is pure art!! No guns, no drugs...the time is coming fo breakin
Time flies ..I remember being that age like it was yesterday
ItsInTheDetails you still are keep dancing 🕺 my friend!
I was 8 and I break dance after watching the movie "Beat Street" with my brothers,, never forget this song
Yo party all night up tomorrow work all day and Party, I loved it!
True
Humanap ka ng pangit
This music reminds me of the good days and he dances are so great. This makes my heart so happy to see all of this in he year of 2020Gis bless every one A-Men from. Angelina Ayala from Las Vegas, Nevada
This is what makes us come together.
We needed all of them at the Olympics to represent!! 👏👏👏
this music is the best
Real shit 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😎😎👏👏👏👏👏
I broke my back by watching this
The people that disliked this are mad because they don't know how to breakdance
ThatOneCreepyKid ThatOneCreepyKid I agreed
YEP
Hiphop lives!!! Jessica Thompson sucks shit.
Dude when I was young I wanted to be Turbo and Ozone...now I'm just old and fat..I'd bust a femur. Lol
Yessir
I loved break dancing with my friends back in the 80's.
Man this made ME nostalgic....and i never really cared for break dancing before!
Perhaps i just miss the old days when we all actually got along...
Jam on It...Electric Kingdom... Planet Rock...Just A Few Classics! Bringing Back so Many Memories!!
wow i grow up doing this im 39 im still doing its healthy
marco verdejo you must have been like 5 when break dancing was ariubd. I'm 47 and this was hot in early 80s by the time I graduated HS in 88 it was gone..glad you casn still put the movies on brotha
marco verdejo My Tio Junski and me still get sessions in and he's 45 rns
Amazing that this was in 2012 because it has a real 80s feel to it.
Undoubtedly the roots of hip -hop sound is perfectly matched with this dance
😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ What I find unic wind mills and egg rolls on to th forearms.... ("AMAZING")!!! This is clearly new
Man O Man. I was a kid in the 80s. My dad was a professional DJ...these were the times. Love the days of hiphop taking off
It's crazy that we used to break as much as we could back in high school (early-mid 2000s) and all that is now a nostalgic memory from over a decade ago.
Everything moves in cycles. I started in '84. It was "dead" on the West coast by '86. Made a come back while I was in high school '94-95.
Made Respect Coming From 1 Of The Baddest 85 Breakers That Are Watching These Young Men Absolutely Kill It To Mu Favorite Jawn Jam On It / 2 Turntables & A Mic /DJTonyRome@Soundcloud
the 80's were awesome beatnoxing breakdancing etc
Beatboxing***
do you remember street sounds electro albums?
You guys are the best break dancers ever
All of yall are great dancers I used to do this in the 80s glad to see it's still going strong.
Yo! If these kids danced like that back in da 80's they'd would've blown the competition away! People would've gone crazy!
We were going crazy
When Germany started hostin "Battle of the Year" durin the early 90s, b-boyin had become underground and America had pretty much forgotten about it. Other countries kept improvin, Korea and France durin the 2000s. The moves got crazier over those years, but mainstream USA had moved on to commercialized hip hop.
Sad but true, USA did catch up at one point but are so behind now because of the blending with mainstream hip hop vs actual hiphop.. 4 elements, nothing else!
HipHop24Seven3
HipHop24Seven3 your definitely right. America had move on from break dancing. and other countries just got better with it.
I agree
HipHop24Seven3 .ää
Shout out to the Bronx for founding Hip Hop Culture. One Love New York! Back then ppl (white ppl) thought rapping, breaking, popping, graffiti, and DJing were the worst things. NOW LOOK!!!
Lordsincere1 so true..
Lordsincere1 yea, now it's transformed into drugs, guns, sex and everything violence and murder..thanks hip hop..maybe in 20 years they will say thank you for today's rap?
Dude that is bullshit the remark u made about white ppl thinking breaking rapping n dj ing were the worst thing u could do . My friends n me used to hangout on the corner n listen to the radio n breakdance on refrigerator boxes back in the day . White black yellow or brown it doesn't matter because we were all friends now we just wanted to have a good time.
We got culture that they bite ON much luv to yhe BIG APPLE AMDVALL THE BURROUGHS FRON THE LONE STAR STATE NO HATE 💯
I was their when it first came to be Eddie Cheba..Starkie..Disco twins..DJ flowers..Lester Love...infinity machine..cyzpher sounds...
The Best ! When I was 4 and then some peeps used to show up at my elementary schools with cardboard and boombox’s - my bro and I in gymnastics dance ect break aka broke danced in our drive way garage and especially on our linoleum floors yeah after watching breaking 1 or 2 electric boogaloo and jamming on cassette still have to Larry Wolfe and the street beaters
I have just refound this video my dad used to play this all the time I used to love dancing but stopped I hope people still do this
Love break dancing, used to do it back in my days
That's it
KLK mmg
this kind of breaking is light years ahead of what we were doing back in 80s.
Right!
For real i could do the windmill when i was like 12 thought i was special.😂
glad your speaking for yourself not for others...
I remember break dancing in the early 80s but these guys have taken it to another level
😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ It's truly amazing what a body can do...
🤩😍 WOW WHAT AMAZING CUTIE'S VERY TALENTED ;🤩❤️
all these guys are bad asses!!
IT WILL ALWAYS BE AN ART FORM!!! BREAKIN' AND POPPIN!!! 💯❤❤🔥🔥🔥
The time has come to understand and accept such a marvelous skill and art! I remember how long it took for Hip Hop to be considered a category next to Rock, Country, Jazz etc. Hopefully, this also will happen within my lifetime. (Original B-Boy from Lawtown MA!)
Aka: Mr. Glyde
Superb, forgotten my love of 80's break'in' music and dancing. Love it.
Those were the days. Would live to see this art brought back to life.
WOW it blows my mind very KOOL
I can only dream of being able to do this
just join a capoira class
You feel my pain brother, at least we can watch talented people do amazing things check out mustang wanted
Ethan Beiswanger same
Dreams can become reality. I suggest you start by doing a bunch of sit-ups and push-ups.
Damn...these young bucks took breaking to the Ultra Instinct level. Keep it going. 👍👍👍
Tears in my eyes.... tears of joy... my childhood came alive explosively.... Nigeria to USA... Feeling the same
Those days will never come back when I see this I think am 13 again I get so excited and think I could do it at the age of 52 WOW amazing for me I love it
If these guys travel bk in time to the 80s they'd be treated like gods
Luis Marquez they sure would be treated like gods
yea.. the red bull. it give you wings! LOL
Luis where do you think they got these moves from? do you think they just started doing those moves in 2012. everything that you are seeing in 2012 has already been done. and what kids have been doing is keeping break dancing alive, it was back then part of the hip hop culture. and yes, back then they were treated like Gods....it was awesome then and it is equally awesome .now............peace OG DJ
Jimmy Brantley in the 80s there where just windmills and head spins and footwork, and only one guy who could hit UFOs but that’s it
Im 50 from BK.. they got allot of *sizzle* moves for sure.. eye poperz..but I don't get the "BBoy" feeling/style of what break dancing was..even back in the dayz acrobatics didn't always win a battle..but 100% respect to these cats.
These kids have raised the bar to unthinkable heights. I love what they are doing for the culture. Hip Hop forever.
Bro that was 4 yrs ago
@maxvilla5558 yes, but still dope AF! And this will still be dope 100 years from now.
Why is this not an Olympic sport ? It would definitely be more interesting
Excellent news, I mean this takes amazing skill and dedication
Too cool for the Olympics...plus it would be “selling out”!!
Ian Robson ⚘
Doubt it. Then they would have to make every sportsdance an Olympic sport as well. There are too many. They have their own federations.
Ian Robson 👍
I still got it WOW this part of are lives will never leave us, POWER TO DANCE!!!!!!!!
Oh yes!!! Great memories! I Looked forward to every Friday, and Saturday night at The Palace Skating Rink, hanging out with great friends! We blocked the rink off, and did this. 🥰🙌🏻

BABY 🤙🤙🤙✌️✌️✌️👍👍💕👋👋
My kids, who are 5&3, have taken an interest in breakdancing. We watch this video about 24 times a day while they try to emulate the moves. Lol. Gotta be young and STRONG to do this stuff. Amazing.
my old days back to the 80's Fantastic Force Taylor & Racine
Fantastic Forse Taylor & Racine
Breakdancing should be in the Olympic gymnastics.
I second that.. great comment
Youre on to something there
+ucheucheuche but olympics has lots of sportsmanship, not of this maximum disrespect dancing in their faces. in other words 2 funky 4 them classy pricks
Very long time ago, crazy legs tried to get bboying in the Olympics but failed since he said judging would favor style over power, I'm sure if they tried again and said power is greater than style it would be up for discussion. In all of Olympics difficulty of moves wins over creativity, in which bboying works opposite.
Agreed
These guys are athletes as much as dance competitors.
+EllaMaFeo MORE
EllaMaFeo , Gymnastics ! Fucking Frosty . . . .
I am 52 yrs of age. Baxk in the day me and my brother was doing breakdancing. It was the bomb!!!! Love the music back then. Still jam it, today!!
I would really love to learn break dancing.
I'm already a dancer as it is.I love to dance.
I love to see men breakdancing.Nice adult male body. I'm fascinated with watching men breakdance. Super hot male dancers,!!!!.
This is the most insane stuff I have ever seen.
All of the dancers are in great shape....
Not big fan of break dancing back then but can see the massive talent, creativity, and just plain joy to dance now.
Were any of these guys in the Olympics? If not they should have been. These dudes are dope.
This was 12 years ago. And the olympics is NOT the pinacle of sport or athleticism
Theses boys better than the beat streets boys they very skilled!!!
