BREAKDANCING MUST BE IN THE OLYMPICS!!!!! (Video)
http://www.media.ebaumsworld.com/index.php?e=breakdance.wmv

What you want to do is go to the URL but then actually download
the the movie (as per instructions), then open it, otherwise it won't play the whole way
through. I have norton anti-virus by the way and this movie is clean, plus this website is usually good about it's content :)

Take a look at this and tell me that breakdancing should be in the Olympics. This is the guy from Britain. It is a world wide "sport", and an olympic competition could be fierce and fun to watch. You jaw will FREAKING drop when watching this. :)

1. Amazing! He does stuff that's not even possible in earth's gravity
And no I don't think it should be an olympic sport. It's art.

4. Well isn't gymnastic dance and synchronized swimming art?
Why can't breakdancing be in the Olympics?

6. I don't think rhythmic gymnastics and synchro should be
in the Olympics either.. I think they made a mistake letting them in in the first place.

I don't want to give the impression that I don't respect and admire their skill, but they're "judged" sports. Exhibition is fine, but competition, no thanks.

2. My son is a
second degree black belt and this past year one of the karate instructors and "old school" breakdancers have joined together and started a class. The combination is mind blowing. I'm not familiar with the new breakdancing, but what they refer to as the "old school" is also high on respect and good sportsmanship, etc. I am torn between breakdancing being an olympic event or an olympic exhibition cuz I don't see it as competitive, but I am not very familiar with it. Just what I have seen in the last year.

5. My only complaint is the choice of music in that video...
All b-boy videos need "Can't Stop The Rock" by Freestyle. It is the ultimate b-boy track in my opinion.

Some impressive shit though. I've been into that stuff for a while, and it still amazes me, the kind of strngth and grace that those guys must have.
