N.Y.C BREAKERS-streets of new york

[@AlDarko]

Thanks for posting this...This was aired on a show called PM magazine in the 80's, havent seen this in 25 yrs!

[@mekanix1968]

As many times I've seen NYC Breaker vids, I've never seen flip rock do three consecutive flips till now. Thanks for sharing.

Al Boogie (an old school pop-locker from Harlem) is working on a DVD about B-boys from NYC... Yeah, sometimes I make phone calls to NY (but since I live in Europe it's expensive) and talk to Al, Liquid Robot Bam Bam, Tiny Love and some other dancers...

[@Evilnorther]

N.Y.C BREAKERS is awesome crew.. Ohhh... what a pity, Mr. Wave and Icey are not there..I wish to see them...

[@CrowdPleeza]

A 40 something Ken Swift is still one of the best breakers out there.

[@admadegl]

saw NYC breakers at a mall in STL MO back in the 80's --- AWESOME

[@kenstella1200]

2:09 its true! I was born in 1985 and started breaking in 91-92. Once I was pushing 20 in 2005 I completely stopped bc I started slowing down, I was good but couldn't keep up the the same way when I was 13 - 16 years old, it happens.

[@WILFRED69X]

That was a time when we looked at breakers from new york as gods every thing new york was the shit . God please take me back just one day man was it alot of fun those were the good old days.

[@CrowdPleeza]

Tricks vs Dancing I think this can depend on how you view the role of power moves. From what I've read in interviews RSC members feel there's an over emphasis on power moves by todays dancers. They view PM's more as tricks rather than actual dancing. I've heard other people say that Power Move oriented dancers lack rhythm for example. PM's are cool but combine them with actual dancing is what they're saying.

Rest in power Lep & Glide

[@brookelynnnnz]

this roots of hip hop !!! bronx is the home hip hop

[@Solowizard]

An Olympic Event if never became. Too bad breakdancers never made REAL MONEY like rappers do. So much hard work, time spent and talent, but yet, no REAL REWARDS.

Rest in Peace Lil Lep, salute to you

[@sirlordwhitman]

There needs to be a new movie! set in 1983/84 about the NYC breakers!! than again.. Hollywood might fuck it up.

[@missjtrep]

classic days of breakin !!

[@CrowdPleeza]

Funny how they thought 25 was "retirement age" back then. LOL A lot of good breakers and poppers nowdays are in their 20's,30's even 40's.

[@dariog36th]

Powerful Pexter is now in his 50s and still doing windmills and head spins. Kidd Nice could’ve still done it but he became a professional bodybuilder so is probably too bulky to be doing it. Chino Action Lopez also became a professional bodybuilder. Crazy Legs just does footwork competitions.

[@krsone1585]

RIP GLIDE MASTER!

[@joekaty2000]

Rest In Peace Lil Lep

[@Wildfasimoner]

Just DANCE!

[@DamnnnJohnny]

fuck gang violence .....jus dance

[@wishpackers]

Yikes, when I originally saw these guys in Beat Street I thought they were all hunks. Now they all look like babies cause I'm so old now.

[@Evilnorther]

Yeah, that's true.)

[@thebat3888]

Lol if only they knew back then that now today it's gonna be in the next Olympics 😛😛

[@Shanetayyy]

respect and all to the nyc breakers, but bboying/ breaking should not be a olympic sport, cause it is an art form, not a sport, its expressing yourself, not really the competitive kinda thing

[@renem2257]

Crazylegs say peace

[@Khultan]

@nikitobu Nah, judging from your all upper case communication, don't even bother, son.

[@smpl90s]

@CrowdPleeza times change. To a regular spectator, breaking is undoubtedly about powermoves, but even to me powermoves without decent footwork is plain pathetic.
