I remember friends having cardboards eaj , their own customized cardboards made from the big ass cardboards like from freezers or big screen tvs, not those flatscreen shit. I remember boom boxes with cassette tapes prerecorded with mixes you heard from the radio. A bunch of kids at the rec/community center getting together. There was a lot of girls who used to check out guys breakin, hence every school dance I went to there was a section of breakers who was waiting for the right hip hop track to come on so they can throw down…it was pure back then, people didn’t think breakin would make them famous or someshit to make a name or whatever… for me all I wanted to do was do the moves that my friends did, I wanted to get better, last longer when I did windmills and get more rotations when I did 1990s or 2000s The feeling has changed, I remember people throwing down repeats and shit but the way they carried their self, they won every round and you couldn’t tell them different. Oh yeah and the crowds were WAY more into it, if you did something dope, people would bust out and go bop bop and circles were mad small, you could kick someone in the face if your windmills were out of control… Oh I agree with poe1, the internet has changed bboying a lot. I remember watching VHS and not know who people were but I remember their moves I’m like yo, that shit was sick I’m going to rewind that.. lol I rewind so much I broke my vhs player lol.. and I would watch shit from like 2-3 years back and be amazed because lol it would take that long for the vid to reach T.o or some shit… on the real when I first came on to bboywold I didn’t know who Poe1 was lol until I saw a vid of Poe1 doing the Flying SuperMan mid air freeze, I was ohh it’s that sick dude lol….
