why do NORMAL people like more powermoves than footworking?

True indeed, true indeed.

beeing creative with powermoves is mad hard!!!! its HARDER then beeing creative with footwork
want to proof me wrong show me some creative power and uniqe transitions from you- wait what?? u don't have any?? then how can you compare the two??

its about how you handle yourself in the circle beeing able to represent there, not at practice- so if you can still bust dope footwork freezes and tops there its all good. even though you practice only airflare at practice
see once u got that power down u can still bust grazy footwork

funny thing is everybody thinking power and footwork are just as hard usually don't have a lot off power or only groundpower, see that makes there hole statement false,
since they really don't know what they are talking about, if someone with creative clean and sick power and also creative clean and sick footwork said something like that, it would be a different story
since then he would be able to truely compare the two!!

being creative with power is not harder than being creative with footwork.... with all the new moves being created daily its not that easy making a new footwork move... on power just gotta make it more impossible to be creative... for example 1 arm air flare or air flare thread stuff like that... it doesnt require a lot of thinking... once you have the move down just think of dumb things... like smack your ass in the air and BAM you are creative with power.... when i think of new stuff for footwork... i need to sit there for a long ass time fooling around while at the same time know for a fact i my self never seen it done before.... like i said before I TRAINED WITH POWER HEADS before

and there is very few power heads with good footwork... most of the time when power heads goes back to footwork... they all look the same they just do 6 3 and 2 steps over and over with cc's and stand and be like SEE I CAN FOOTWORK.... soo many does that and its annoying to the ppl who trains on footwork...

kevo milky spee d omar mn joe luigi yan and those are only the first that popped in my head
dope power dope footwork. and i think most off them started ass powerheads (atleast the older clips off most off them cats where power) but i agree a lot of powerheads footwork suck

you are right about what you said about beeing creative with power if you can do a double airflare you are beeing creative cause it has not been done bevore, but here is the tricky part --> thinking off something is the easy part but now to do a actual double airflare (lol kinda the complete oposite off footwork where thinking off something is the hard part)

only to get a move down completely takes a very long time and lots off hard practice,
while for footwork you have that problem a lot less you need practice and effort though thats for sure

but bevore i can do onearm airflare thread (btw marcio did this) I need first to get airflares + airflare thread down then one arm airflare lets say this alone will take me a year or two bevore i can even think about pulling a move like this (without crashing)
can you say the same about original footwork transitions- does that shit take a year or two off preperations to pull off clean??

see thats what i mean by its harder. bevore actually comming down on that creative level and beeing able to use that creativity it takes a long time hard practice and dedication for power while in footwork you can be creative a lot sooner

we can discuss about this all day long... but lets just stick to power is WAY harder "to do" and footwork is way harder to "be creative".... well in my opinion it is...

[illone]

power is harder to learn for your body and its harder to be creative...
and style/dancing is harder to learn in your mind and soul..
my opinion.

no top rocking not caring about the music and doing a flare to air flare then standing up and walking away.... YES those move are hard to learn but when it comes to training like when i train i train on MANY THINGS... not 1 move OVER AND OVER AND OVER ...

for exmaple i train im my control and how i can always make sure my freeze faces my opponent no matter what move do... train on being able to use all the floor instead o staying still... dancing on beat ... training my mind to constantly to throw MOVES after MOVES with out crashing while being clean STILL ON BEAT... and making it look good... dancing and being on beat... i can keep going really... but i wont

i trained with power heads so i know what im talking about

there's a difference between training and honing ur skills and actually learning something from scratch....for example compare someone who has never danced before learning a full sixstep as opposed to someone learning a flare right of the bat....which one u think will get a full round faster??

lol i started out learning on breakdance videos and watching people in hollywood breakdance and going home and practicing....and to someone who started out not training with experts or professionals, getting a powermove down is a lot harder.....

nevermind, edited out

[swift328]

Well why do you care if 'normal' people prefer power over footwork???? you dance for yourself not the approval of the 'normal' people.

[shocked]

normal people like the combination of every aspect bboying has to offer
normal people dont make such threads

[TheBboySmith]

"Normal" people can't appreciate footwork because it takes an acquired taste. To me, all wine tastes the same. I'll admit it. I don't have an acquired taste for wine. I can tell the difference between wine and champagne though. The same is true for "normal" people about bboying. They can't tell the difference between most footwork because they don't have an acquired appreciation. They can tell the difference between footwork and power. Power, like champagne, is a little flashier than wine, but it has it's time and place. You don't just walk into a quiet, fancy restaurant and yell "POP ME OPEN FIVE BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE WOOOOHOOO." If you did that, you would look like an idiot.

[TheBboySmith]

Oh yea and by the way, who cares what normal people think. After a while all that matters is your mentors opinions and your self expression.

learning a six step is really nothing... is just one move ... there is THOUSANDS of footwork move... compare to power every power head throw down consist of the same moves thrown differently...

people are to blind and always says the guy doing only footwork is doing a 6 step... over and over but that is blind people that goes for both people who doesnt dance and people who dance... six step is the least used move when it comes to footwork... i barely ever use it... EVER

only time i use it is when im doing my stamini exercises thats it
