Toprock Tutorial/Guide V2

[@TheUdonPot]

You did it again man. You and bboy Byu's toprock tutorials are the most useful ever!

[@MsMi321]

definably, all these "new" Moves, are things i rarely have seen or have never seen and look amazing. For beginners this is a must video so a V3 would be an amazing addition :D

[@WatoogieWintertime]

hey this is really helpful. there are so many simple things but to be all laid out together really helps. thanks!

[@Phiraver]

hey thanks for the diverse moves, this video definitely increased my arsenal in tops.

[@coloazn1]

Thanks flash legs for posting vids up , It's really going to help me

[@MsMi321]

damn i love the stuff you are teaching so basic and easy but so hard at the same time, keep it up, but unfortunately i can't do some of these i just developed a style for myself and i cant really do a few things such as the Indian step with a twist. its simple but i just invent moves now as i go on, i see you do too, so keep it up man, if there were more tutorials as inspiring as this, we might get a lot more ppl into the community than ever before :D

[@bboylilkyon]

short, multiple variation, easy to understand!GREAT!

[@Z1ng1s]

Thanks flashlegz!! This tutorial really gonna help me to take my toprocking to next level!

[@wowdezare]

Today is May 19, 2013. by the time summer ends I will know how to do all this stuff and be able to combine it and transition smoothly. and its gonna be so fresh. I have until mid August.

[@SarahHolburnMusic]

This is a brilliant video. You are a great dancer and demonstrator. :)

[@lonerblader85]

Sweet moves, great paced tutorial as well, not too quick not too slow. Nice one! =)

[@Bboy1161]

dude seriously thank you so much this has helped my top rock so much

[@BBoyActaeon]

lovin' all the variations you got there, even though some of 'em need some work. good tut. ^^

[@Flashlegz]

since july this year I've been able to practice maybe 4 to 5 hours a week, live in Worcester UK. I do bits of practice everyday but that depends on the weather as there is hardly any space to practice indoors. This time of year sucks for breaking and tricking.

[@Famn180]

Fell in love with your footwork

[@axalifanpage]

Best tutorial of toprock forever

[@Flashlegz]

about a year, used to do it for a little while a few years back.

[@Flashlegz]

Sure, just need to find some time and hope it don't rain. I'd also recommend buying Storm's Footwork Fundamentals and Bboy Workshop vol 1 with Bboy Focus.

[@Flashlegz]

It's style preference, I do both to switch up levels, but bent and low down is what I would normally do, but yeah switching it up is good. Just try experimenting bending/straightening knees, back, neck, arms, stiff, loose, bouncy, smooth, head movement etc all the stuff that gives you your own style.

[@MODIGEORGE]

Tell me the songs you used in this two top rock tutorials, please. Great job) Good tutorial

[@helicaldota]

also this is a sweet place to train u got right here ^_^ all that green , i bet the view is amazing

[@KlasiqueTV]

I like tha vid it came out gd! Thnx 4 puttin' me in tha creditz, jus keep breakin' nd keep up tha gd work pce

[@yerbertinnet]

I still recall toprocks from this tut hehe, good job! peace

[@universolwisdom]

hey man really dope video!!! And all the songs are raw. Could u please list all the songs in order u used in this video? I would really appreciate it! Im posting your video up now! Thanks man for the info!

[@Flashlegz]

That's in v1, you can do hip twist with or without the kickout, personally I prefer the kick out, but for a beginner they can add that in later, getting the hip twist was more important in my opinion.

[@gtrnismo]

GREAT TEACHER i really learn alot

[@MathConditioning]

That was helpful ! Thanks a lot. Nice top rock.

[@texplosiv]

The last song he dances to is Beastie Boys - Ch-check it Out The song played during the credits is Armand van Helden - Full Moon

[@bgirlpretzel]

a basic transition guide would be awesome ~! :D

[@Filipek75]

it's really good moves!!! thanks men !!! i learn very hard:)

[@Flashlegz]

Much appreciated, maybe I should do a V3 :) Keep on rockin' :D

[@Flashlegz]

Lino, you can get different patterns, I chose wood tiles, can usually buy from carpet stores.

[@Flashlegz]

Heard of most of them, but ill check'em out

[@HawkzTube]

Awesome tutorial, you should make a third one ;)

[@Flashlegz]

The knee drop? It's one of my favourite go downs, your uncle must be a good breaker.

[@nightstallion9024]

good tut, but when u do the "Hip Twist" firstable you gotta kick with the left foot if ya start doin it with your right...understood?

[@theoflare]

nice compilation of moves...whats the end song playing? and the one at 1:09

[@Flashlegz]

that time is inbetween songs, before and on 4.30 is mentioned in an earlier comment - The Seed If it's the one after it's "I can't understand it", I dunno the artist name, got it from Bboy Cyclone.

[@Flashlegz]

after the intro track? The Boris Gardner Happening - Ghetto Funk

[@Flashlegz]

Yeah, that's why people have sets, I just freestyle, I have one set i remember, gonna make a teaser trailer for the footwork tut

[@jlibs99]

Shmoooooove! Keep up the good work Legz

[@Flashlegz]

lol, I had that when I played Bomberman on the gameboy for ages, i could hear the music and would go to switch it off but it was already off, haha

[@EarmuffsDU]

what's messed up is that I had a dream about this video. deja vu shit. good stuff

[@prohithgandhi]

too good.. very inspirational... liked it a lot.. keep up da good work :)

[@amritkunwar9612]

one of the dopest video of toprock i've ever witnessed...thnx a lot man...and what's the song from 7:32-8:07???plz want it pretty bad

[@Tenzg4nm4]

Very Good and Nice Tutorial...

[@Flashlegz]

Stay on your toes, keep that groove and bounce in your steps and practice to slower beats to start. Your weight needs to go out on the stepping leg and use your arms, hips and shoulders to exenuate your moves

[@Flashlegz]

Yeah, unless I can come up with some new ones (don't want to show all my moves) I could do some footwork guides, if anyone's interested and really basic transitions. I can do this stuff in practice but I forget everything in battle, lol

[@spiritshuffle]

i find the hip twist with the kick added into it makes it hard to get into and makes it heavier for me plus dosent looks so clean and u dont go so fast

[@EyeJayyy]

can you do some footwork stuff ?

[@ontheroadtechno]

Woah, good style bboy, congratulations...

[@esQo0020]

nothing to say but...good job,thanx,keep it up... you helped me a lot :)

[@Flashlegz]

Well there are a lot of different names for the same moves, indian step as I know it is where you step out across in a diagnol n back, I've heard it called front step as well. Ideally I would call moves by the original name, but I simply can't say I honestly know.

[@solidwingtsunkid]

thx for the tutorial!! im a new comer to bboy, ur cool! u rock doin the top rock imao

[@Flashlegz]

What do you mean by com? I put a camera on a tripod if that's what you mean. Be good to see your progress man.

[@Flashlegz]

Yeah, I should really practice a lot of footwork, need to get as quick as bboy kazuhiro

[@bboycolamaster]

man u r sooo good and btw u helped me a lot :D

[@BBoyWanderer]

nice stuff here...keep it up

[@Flashlegz]

I would, but don't want to chance youtube deleting my audio

[@yerbertinnet]

I use it on last days. good job:)

[@Flashlegz]

@hyperlegs499 Keep your back straight and head up, this helps you spin faster and have more balance, B-Boy Y-Not said this at one of his workshops, peace.

[@PhunkHybrid]

True knowledge of Bboy-ing! Much Respect!

[@Flashlegz]

Appreciate it man, unfortunately my execution is not good though but as long as it gives ideas it does its intended purpose

[@Flashlegz]

Dunno if it has a proper move name but that's what I call it, artist is Eddie Kendricks - Dancing in the rain

[@BgirlKimtastic]

nice, best toprock tut

[@jony0544]

Song Number 2(during tutorial) : Date with the rain - Eddie Kendricks

[@tjtoonz]

this is extremely helpful

[@vacuumcircuitbreaker]

best toprock tutorial

[@Flashlegz]

You should post up your toprocks young grasshopper, a video response would be good. I've only got one and that was bboy cyclone who is the real deal anyway.

[@miguelrobledo32]

[@wtfthisannoy13]

[@ruaco07]

what is the name of the song in 5:00 ? is pretty cool

[@jeancarlostrujillotovar8897]

muy buen video

[@BboyAcademy]

Dope! inspired me..

[@Flashlegz]

The majority of breaking that you'll see will involve crossing the legs, then again I should hope to see this in all kinds of dance, in all fairness I don't understand your question and fail to see the point of it. You don't have to cross your legs, do rock step or side steps, do whatever man, peace

[@Flashlegz]

@Frostwire120 it's in the top comment/previous comments

[@iMeta4]

Groovy.

[@MrTheJokertck]

you are fantastik!!!

[@hibikino]

Where are you from? Some of the toprock move definitions differ from what I'm familiar with. (eg. your hip twist looks a lot like an incomplete Indian step) Good tutorial.

[@TomKarabel24]

Nice work agian man :)
