These are the people that should have been all over the news ... not ... you know who
Raygun
@@onion_____ No, you fool! You've cursed us all! If someone says her name 2 more times she might appear!
To be fair, NONE of the people in this video would have scored more than 2 or 3 points at the Olympics. The Olympics judges were heavily biased AGAINST power moves.
@@elementneon you migth be well rounded bboy or bgirl. All the semifinalist in both gender categories do great powermoves
3😅
Before watching this I just found Raygun's antics to be funny. But now after seeing these people's dedication and skill, I feel that it was a disgrace to let Raygun compete, to bring embarrassment to the sport in its first (and possibly last) appearance at the olympics and take public attention from the much more deserving candidates.
i’m proud of you bro
This is why academics are generally not serious sportsters. They are more interested in "researching" than doing. What she did for her academic clout is disgraceful.
You have solved all the little what the fucks that I had about this bizarre incident.
@@skilletpan5674I agree. I'm sure she thinks she's more intelligent than the rest of us and her foray into break dancing was her trying to prove she could be better at what ever "silly" things us lesser people do for fun.
@@markiefufu I'm sure you think too much and break too less.
If punisher didn't say that monkey king could do it. Monkey king would have never thought he could do it. It shows the power of belief.
This is the competition that would've electrified the Paris Olympics breaking event. 🔥
This guy should have went to Olympics. Thats breaking.
But then there’s Raygun 😂
Those Olympic Breakers sucked.
Raygun made history
@@sPaCe_NiNjA187For real, they were boring with same obvious moves.
This video needs to go viral. The bboy/journalist really did his research in this subject.
🙏
The only way to go viral is to include RayGunn of Australia.
@@lorenzlorenzo1975 The only wat is to make Raygun show videos of her doing the double airflare. She was holding back, waiting for the right moment?
Well, except from the fact, that they have already disqualified themselves by using -breakdancer- in the title.
@@FRESHL1887 Sorry Freshl1887 , this is unfortunately out of my control.. (I'm trying to work it out). But I think that if you watch you won't be dissapointed. We worked two years on this.
This was amazing coverage. Thank you Le Monde for not censoring the Flag of Taiwan 🇹🇼
Brilliant story. I didn't even know about the Double Air Flare until this video. I was in tears. Landing the Double Air Flare on your forearm and continuing with the routine is still very beautiful and an eye wateringly amazing achievement. Landing the Double Air Flare, like landing the quadruple axel in ice skating, is said to be impossible but what we've witnessed is astonishing. Congrats to Monkey King!
czcams.com/users/shorts8X2NLcBLUIc?si=YjCIB1oGH_EWvSj_ it's been done bro. Landed to elbow airflair.
"Dad got paralyzed trying to be the first person to do a double airflare" sounds like a quote from rick and morty
“By someone trying”
Be more in line with Jerry to have been paralyzed by a random street performer trying it…😂
@@joshtracy4441😂
😂😂
This is a great documantary for bboying. Absolutely top-quality production. Not only did you explain the principles behind a highly difficult move that is unmatched in history, but you were also the first to successfully spread the charm of this sport to the public.
🙏 Wow thank you very much!
Yo brothers! Right! My country Serbia did not have breakdancer for this first OI 2024. One our guy from Serbia going to competition for OI, he is very good brekadancer for many years, we have more breakdancers like him, too, but this year contry didnt have interest and didnt gave money for next his competition and our very talent breakdancer must give up, unfortunetly, and he is very sad full year and dont want to dance anywhere, I hope he is get up again with optimism. Serbia is 100 years strong in sport (basketball, waterpolo, tenis, Novak Djokovic, last 12 years Taekwondo...) and we win many medals in this OI, too. Hope for next OI wi will have our brekadancers on OI. Good luck brothers and sisters breakdancers in others coutries ! Lets spreed the peace and love message ind the all world and good music and dance and friendsheep betwen all people! .-)
I’m pretty certain the film titled wild style brought this to the public first tho…
No it’s not.
It’s an amazing video and I enjoyed it no doubt, but first to bring the charm of the sport to the public? Maybe for you..
It’s a big statement to make
Thank you for shifting the conversation around breaking. I hate the negative press it's been getting
My god, breaking is the most beautiful sport in art form.
Come show how you can be a Bad Boy.
- The Diddler
0:38 - Whatever happened right there with the elbow landing was the coolest breakdance move I have ever seen
Looked like airflare to flare. Maybe one had airflare to flare.
I literally just stopped the video to make a comment about that crazy ass move. That was insane!!!
THIS is what so many breakers are capable of, so amazing to see. Such a high level sport that got shunned because of someone’s antics
right? Just made a very similar comment, that was absolutely insane.
This was probably airflare to elbows spin but the fact that he did that Is insane af never seen such art it amazing
Only Raygun has been able to master the Kangaroo, the Stapler and the Sprinkler
She said she was inspired by kangaroos. I'm glad New York's breakdancers weren't inspired by subway rats. 😂
@@maryrooster8737 probably she was also inspired by dogs playing in leaves/mud (i assume that is where the "Stapler" came from)
She was inspired by Homer Simpson.
don't forget the she mastered the HomerSimpsonFloorSpin
czcams.com/video/FdCy6MGOVfw/video.html
lol
The fact that La Olympics will not feature “Breaking” as a competition may hurt its popularity but it also may elevate it as an art form in the dance world. I for one, want to see more.
They could include it in closing and opening ceremony
Raygun has made breaking a global sensation. Everyone has seen what it is because of her.
@@hzznWRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Breaking was already a global sensation. What she did was invalidate the progress that has already been made.
These guys are really athletic.
Orignal 80's B-Boy here - I LOVED THIS!
How old are you?
@@billphillips7830 don't know about @witness1013 but i'm '80's breakin OG and i'm 54 tomorrow
Are u 59 Y.O ?
This is just AMAZING! Absolutely underrated documentation! The quality and research is INSANE! As a former BBoy myself, it's truly beautiful to see that the community and the level of breaking is still growing! Can't wait to see the Double-Airflare got pulled of at battles all over the world one day! MUCH LOVE!

She can do it very easy
@@otter666of course, she’s a professor that’s a given.
PhD in double airflare obviously

SHOUT OUT TO MONKEY KING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good stuff! I’m glad to see my braking community excel and evolve with breaking,I’m 57 yrs.old I consider myself one of the pioneers of breaking I did it in the early 80’s.my dancing crew Breakmagic competed against NEW YORK CITY BREAKERS and upstate ny against the NEWBURGH WIZARDS,also ROCKSTEADY CREW from NYC and many more crews.Now is in the Olympics! 🇵🇷
maaaan... you are dance fight against this legendary crew?
Amaizing!
I like that 80s but we was in comunist country in Europe far away od USA and interenet did not exist, only some brekadance LPs export from USA in tjhe store and audio casete and main movies Breakinn 1 and 2 and Beat Street (before them Flashdance) in sinema, but soon VHS video recorders...
But we brakdancing very good at school and haustores in our city and on the squers and streets and even now exist in center of our city Belgrade capitol of Serbia in south Europe breakdance crew wich every week dancing for tuourist and people on the main street for walking. I am dancing too again, for myself in disco clubs and step by step on the street or bus station or in the bus and at home, and recording videos and upload on my YT chanel. Also I read about beganing old school breakdance in USA and search for videos about it on YT...

I'm 57 and had a crew from the mid-80s. I didn't do much floor work - my brother was the master of that. To see how far breaking has come (and popping, locking and the rest) is phenomenal.
@@barryschwarz are you have yours and of your brother videos records of dancing from that time, please?
@@VladaJ-dancer I have some old vids shot on VHS, pretty poor, but mostly uprock routines, only a bit of my brother windmilling.
You had my attention with the headline but this piece of journalism elevates the subject matter beyond my expectations. Well done!
This journalist should be in charge of selecting the dancers for the next Olympics! Love this video.❤
Well dang!!! Thank you for doing this. Monkey King how they broke down the moves with his trainer, and the mental focus and ab conditioning. Incredible!!
COUNT IT... Using his Forearm Was A Brilliant Move .. Everybody Mad Cause they didn't think of it.. 🤣😂🤣
Now everyone is doing it. He is a pioneer.
@@OttawaInHD .. Exactly 💯
Honestly, if anyone other than Punisher had said it didn't count, I'd be on your side
No you don't count it. The original flare requires you to land on the hand. That's a modified double flare. Not the same thing.
It's a new move on its own, and if nothing else it's definitely THE prerequisite to train to get the double
this was shot so well. seeing him land that even with his forearm gave me chills. incredible.
I'm so glad breakin' got so much eyes on it.
honestly this breakdance technique looks hard for gymnasts too, also Punisher is such a badass moniker
Punisher and Monkey King are cool ass names.
gymnasts only just got to the airflare
gymnasts are incredible but bboys are the only ones pushing the limits of the body in the specific manner that they do
Cico is the man
Gymnasts can sometimes have difficulty learning the air flare because it’s very different from the standard Thomas flare. In some ways it’s closer to swipes, and gymnasts don’t do swipes
Synchronized swimming too..
But Break Dancing is my 1st love
Monkey King telling Punisher he was his idol growing up was a heartfelt and beautiful interaction. God i love this fucking culture. I needed this after Raygun embarrassed my entire nation and the breaking community at large.
❤
how dare u diss the legendary kangaroo!
@@ericpadilla2454 shush 🤫
@@sanjayr eat a PP
@@ericpadilla2454😂😂😂😂
And then haters say breakin' isn't a sport. B-Boys are on their own, no trainers, no nothing. They push their bodies to the limits and do the unthinkable. Still people don't understand how hard it is. Even world class athletes from gymnastics have tried doing this stuff and failed so bad, just goes to show how hard it is.
It is not a sport but an art. You would say professional salsa dancers or cheerleaders doing their things such as lifts and spins isnt the same but it is.
@@erfrabal I started out as a competitive latin dancer until 15 and since then I've been a B-Boy for 20 years. Completely different things. Breakin' is more of a sport than art. But it also depends on the B-Boy's style. You may have someone who is all-in power, like B-Boy Physicx or someone who is more experimental like B-Boy Cheerito.
No trainers??? Uh didn't this guy bring in a trainer to help him with the move???
@@scottyheav I meant back in the days. We were practicing on the streets, no gyms, no dance schools... These things started to change in around 2012 or something when breakin' got more popular with the outsider crowd. Yet I still visit the old spots where I practiced and prefer practicing there with my friends instead of some gym or dance school with some trainer or whatever.
@@timkrash9190 But you contradicted yourself. You stated "And then haters say breakin' isn't a sport" IMO it is not a sport. It is a fun activity where everyone has their own flow and style. So how can that be judged? I am from Canada and I thought the Gold we won was lame. Two different flows doesn't mean one is better. My buddy is great at flips and spins I am more 80's based old school ground but neither of us think the other is better.
The Olympic committee/judges need to see this! Dr. Raygun should study this more!
They should study Raygun, first one in the world doing the kangaroo. she is the one holding a doctorate in breaking after all 😎
No amount of studying is gonna get her to this level. None
I keep reading that she was part of the committee because her PhD is in break dancing and she basically gave herself a spot and then said her husband was a coach, so he got to come too. 👀
They arent interested anymore, they already announced that there will be no Breakdance anymore at the Olympics
@@Batwam0 doctorate in cultural studies, not breaking
It doesn't matter if he didn't do the Double Air Flare with his hand or Elbow, he did it. Doing it with the hand should be considered as a new Challenge. AWESOME video!
This was absolutely beautiful. This video assists in Americans recovering from the Olympic Break Dancing Traumatization. Gratitude.
Monkey King, amazing!❤ If you got that close, it's only a matter of time! Everyone in this video deserves so much respect for their dedication to their craft and maintaining such phenomenal levels of talent. Thanks for airing this!
I think bboy Pocket has a chance. He's small, strong, good core muscles, and has very fast air flares
Yes Pocket 🤩
Maybe 5 years ago. He's filled out too much. See his most recent performances. Not as fast and dynamic. Nearly a mortal now.😄
Watch BBoy Hiro10 will do it in the Olympics and the judges STILL won't give him a win in the round.
@@elementneon lol
Wowzers. I am not a b-boy but props due here!!! Oh my gosh, not just the strength it takes but to keep it moving while the world is spinning through your eyes deserves my respect. As a skater, I know how to watch my board spin but what y’all are doing is next level! Keep going strong!!!💪
Better question, who can handle doing the kangaroo?!
Bruh!🤣😂
whoa whoa too advanced and risky. dont want anyone to get hurt🤣
maybe they can, but who dare?
jump jump jump jump 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
I hear it can be very fatal... To your reputation.
He's got it. Half the problem us in knowing it can be done, he broke the mental barrier of it being impossible. Give him a few months to recover and then get back at it and he'll have it. 😊
This video was insane. Huge props to the research\production and ofc the breakdancers!

great documentary, I myself consider this move is the hardest in any sports existed and I believe someday somehow somebody will achieve this goal, sky is the limit!
The poor girl is taking a lot of stick but she unlocked a whole new world that I didn't know existed as did this video . Even explaining more than I could have ever imagined about this encompassing art form. Truly impressed by these athletes!!
I got chills running down my spine watching this video. Makes me miss breaking a lot right now. Excellent work sir!
0:03 The kangaroo had never been done before b girl “raygun”! Didn’t make it any more special.
But once she broke the border millions did it after her 😂
Pffft , Aussies been doing the Roo and sprinkler for decades at the local pub dancefloors after a hard night on the drink 😂.
The legends are true !
No one really considered bringing the pub crawl to the "actual" Olympics tho 😂😂🤘🇦🇺
My daughter who was 5 years old at the time used to do that exact same move every time she finished watching an episode of Skippy!
This is excellent stuff!!! From my roll of lino in the ‘80s to this? Incredible. 👊👊👊
ask Raygun to give it a go…
Probably the best video production I’ve ever seen outside a network documentary. Fantastic video and keep up the great work!
🙏❤
that was awesome! even if not completed it is still a dope move to use in a comp!
This is so cool. First time I've seen this style of documentary style on the topic of breaking - really well produced! Love the genuine exposure breaking is getting (outside of Raygun of course)..
I hope it makes a return in 2032, and having an arsenal of power moves should be the required standard for athletes going forward if they want to compete in the Olympics.
These are some of the most athletic humans on earth...
This was awesome
Great doc!
The double airflare puts so much torque on the landing hand/arm that i can totally understand why ppl are afraid to push for 100% commitment when practicing the move. Your hand could just snap...
Yes I don't see the 'proper' way ever being done and the forearm method is the only way. Just too many points of failure on the hand/elbow/shoulder/arm.
Monkey King. Sounds like a hilltop master from a kung fu movie. Love it.
He is the only one who came close despite landing on his forearm. Congratulations Sir!🙏 ❤🇹🇼
Passion drives people. The 10k is merely a bonus not the goal
Did he get the $10k?
Bravo, great vid man, thx for making and sharing! 👏👏👏👏👏
Why was this not in the olympics? 13:06 It's already answered in the video. Powermoves and technicality are part of breaking but today are not considered the full package especially for competitions.
Yeah. Perfect example of that being Hiro10 vs Victor. Hiro was hitting power moves non stop. Where as for Victor. He probably pulled out atleast 3x more moves that Hiro. There was big emphasis on the amount of different moves and combinations a breaker could pull off, when the judges were scoring. So Victor's 15 or so basic moves and 1-2 power moves. Looked better, compared to Hiro repeating the same 4-5 power moves. In the judge's opinion. It was pretty obvious that most of the audience along with myself, believed Hiro's performance was hands down better and he shoulda won.
great documentary! wish i could smash that like button multiple times!
I'm old and was breaking in the early 80's. My favorite move was the 2 handed airflare that landed into a windmill. While spinning I would cross my arms and even grab my crotch with both hands while spinning. I would turn the windmill into a backspin and that was considered dope in the days. These kids today are on another level
@@Michael-of8gg Yup, some of the things we couldn’t even imagine are now just the starting point
Breakdancing is super hard. I remember seeing some uncles doing in Tokyo around 2000. It was sad to watch. One needs to be in top form.
Wow I hope this gets a trillion views.
I had no idea what I was going to be witnessing. Fabulous piece.
1 - This is braking, explosive acrobatic style movements that take years to master - whatever that Australian lady did was not and was a joke and insult to brake dancers who dedicate their lives to it.
2 - Seems like braking has a “4 min mile” barrier.
3 - Monkey King is Bruce Lee ripped!
This is an awesome documentry. Very captivating.
I can honestly say I have never failed at the double Air Flair...
BBoy Junior was a favorite of mine back in the day. Dude has SO much strength in his spine!
This is one reason why breakdancing should be in the next Olympics. Most of the sports in the Olympics have just reached a plateau. Breakdancing still has a way to go before all of the moves are exhausted like in gymnastics.
It was a sad spectacle to see it in the Olympics, tbh.
@@jal051how so?
Because maybe it wasn't the right way to present it to the public. The olympics breaking competion was just another bc-one but in an olympic stadium. A powermove competition could have been a better choice.
@@brandonvillamizar1216 or tricking
@@jal051the first day was disappointing for a historic debut, the second day still wasn't quite a sport that belonged, but it delivered on showing the world the excellence of the dance and the competitors
if you don't feel it, if is not in your head, you just can't. when you understand it, it will flow the first time
99% of what these guys do is impossible
Monkey will get it, I've followed him on insta for years. He's so fucking dedicated. I watchin him try to beat the 1 handed air flare record for over 6 months before he broke the record. He's never gonna stop. C Lil is also incredible. Great video.
Olympics: this gymnastic move is too dangerous we're gonna ban it.
Also Olympics: this break dancing move is so dangerous we wanna do it.
Even from the 3d model animation it looks unreal and impossible
Very nicely done video! Even the Olympics coverage wasn’t as in depth for any of the breakdancing background information
Used to breakdance. Joints are paying for it now. XD haha
That was fantastic man. I love the message "Nothing is impossible" I remember the starting out 40 years ago, thinking I was good (lmao), and seeing what's going on today is simply amazing!! Keep up the good work!!
To get it done, the legs cannot be apart: you've got to increase the SPEED of the rotation in order to have the TIME to land on the hand. There is simply not enough height to do this double jump with legs like that. Just like in figure skating, legs must be squeezed to make an upside-down double rotation.
that lil kid who cries then does crazy power moves will learn it
Hiro10? You'd cry too if you just did a routine nearly no other human in the world could do, and they gave the round to someone that did basic uprocks, 6 step and single easy freeze. Olympics are cooked
Thanks to one female we now have the epilepsy Break dance move🤣
Hard to take Olympic breakdancing seriously but watching these guys amazes me.
What's the difference? Did you watch the Olympic breakdancers or just the highlights of raygun? It was as good as anything you'll see.
Guys, there is actually a documentary now about Raygun, the Australian Olympic break dancer. It’s called Breaking Bad.
This is Soooo Dope! I had to pause my studio session to watch the entire clip. Well Done. ✌
I think its been done.. it was amazing!!!
+1 That looked like it, fasho!!!
Glad to be the 1st one commenting here. 🎉
"He even hurt himself" bro broke his fucking finger yoooo 😮
I think that if people practice this move to land it like Monkey king did and practice that landing, and blow up from your forearm to your hand then this move will become a staple in breaking. I think training arms and becoming stronger in not just your core but arms, forearms, and shoulders will help tremendously. Runners train legs to run faster long jumpers train legs to jump further and higher just train your arms to be able to throw your body higher. Breakers like Monkey king have trained for so long and have complete mastery of their body's control and position, that if you add a very tough weight training regiment for arms, just sit back and wait for the highlights to come. I could be wrong, but I would love to see this move landed perfectly and who knows maybe the only way to land this move is on the forearm.
Monkey king is the closest to it. But as the animation shows both the legs need to stay up in the air and another consecutive airflare needs to be done afterwards for a true double airflare. What Monkey king did was an airflare with a double rotation into a normal flare. Incredibly impressive but unfortunately not a true double airflare. I'm sure him or C-lil will get it at some point!
Aint no way you said double airflare will be a staple in breaking. Even if you can do it half the time with a clean landing, you wouldn't because you will lose the battle once you slip up.
It they master it landing on the forearm the hand is bound to happen by itself not much later. TBH, landing on the forearm already looked f*ing amazing. I have no idea how possible it is to master it, tho. In my mind these guys can do anything.
" this move will become a staple in breaking"
this move hasn't even been done by a single person. what part of your brain rotted into thinking "blowing up" your forearm and hands will make this a core move that everyone can do? this isn't one piece buddy
This video is motivation 101 not just for breaking but for anything in life.
It's crazy to think that 1 person destroyed the possibility of breaking ever returning to the olympics🤬
FUK RAYGUN!! She fucked it up for the entire Breakdancing community!!
Good, keep it as an art
@bdh711 not good, we're trying to expand to a larger audience, not keep it in house only. No gatekeeping in breaking
@@jayda3335says who? A non black person telling black people we can't gatekeep our shit. You got some fucking nerve. This is exactly why we should have gatekeep our culture from the rest of you vultures.
Nah it dead announced months before it wasn't in the 2028 olympics. It was only a provisional sport
I love that Vivaldi started playing, my favorite movement too
Monkeyking and C-lil are the top power breakers. C-lil is one of the only bboys who can do 1 handed airflares back to back. Theres not many that can do that, only 3-5 dudes prob in the world
6:47-6:51
Was that not Monkey King doing six back-to-back one-handed airflares?
@@mugenjie read my last sentence, I said there's only 3-5 guys plus c-lil that can only do tht. I didnt say only CLil can only do it
@@droptopp3479 So, you introduce Monkey King and C-lil as the top power breakers in your first sentence, but then in your second sentence, you only mention C-lil (by name) as one of the only bboys who can perform one-handed airflares back to back.
Why?
@@mugenjieBboy pocket did 1 hand airflare 5 times in a row before C-lil did. It was a world record back then until some another Asian bboy came in and did 6. Also Pocket wasn't even the first one to achieve 1 hand airflare. It was again some other Asian dude but couldnt do it more than 3 in a row.
It’s coming, a lot of moves takes a lot of time and effort and especially the double air flair, but it’s
right at the doorstep, I mean I remember doing flairs on your elbows was crazy but it was done
over 20 years ago
This is the reason why breaking could be very well accepted in the Olympic Games. But the format should focus on powermoves and not on all elements of breaking. Because you can't necessarily demonstrate strength and skill in all elements. This would eliminate many participants and generate less controversy, as in the case of B-girl Raygun, who in a breaking event with all elements, her performance would not be questioned, but in this Olympic event, her performance has generated controversy.
Just an opinion.
Then that's not breaking
You could separate the breaking into different events. Same way gymnastics has apparatus specialties like vault, rings, etc. There could be separate events for footwork, power, etc. Though I agree with the other comment, that would not be full and complete breakdancing
Sure, then why do we have pocket on a red bull bc one, or kill, or yuki, or monkey king, or many other bboys huh. Not a solid argument, many bboys made a career just for do powermoves, breaking evolved to make this possible. Anyway, as I said it should focus on powermoves, I mean more points should be given to powermoves because it is an olympic championship.
Love this documentary💜It's awesome to see the love and support for the artists from the breakdance community! Fighting!
just like tony Hawk 1st 900 now a kid dose 3 back to back 900's it will be unlocked
Dang.. and to think in the early 80s we were doing windmills and regular flares dropping jaws and it turned into this 😮🫡
What is satire? Do you know what satire is? They are talking about a move that nobody cad do. Gymnasts can't do it, bboys can't do it. Few come very close. What is satirical about it?
Brilliant breaking, brilliant little doco.
Subjective: musicality and dancing.
Objective: Powermoves and Freezes.
Two unique ends that make us who we are as breakers. Yet, since about 2005-2006 the musicality has taken breaking by storm. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful thing! But judges started to look at powermoves and freezes as the bastard child when in fact, it was powermoves and freezes that made breakdancing what it is today! Back in the 80s and 90s, it was also the hype in side circle and would destroy the whole floor during a competition! Really upsets me that these modern day judges have forgotten this!! The more technical you are, the riskier it is to show 100% execution. Really, I rather see a guy crash doing something out of the ordinary than to play safe in a competition. They are the ones to break the barrier. No one is going to remember Shmuck a Joe who won 5 top awards. Everyone is going to remember bboys or Bgirls who took us into a new level. Never was it ever musicality or dancing, that's from the soul and subjective. However, it was ALWAYS POWERMOVES AND FREEZES!!!
No it wasn't. It was about dancing to the music not busting a power move then freezing. Learn the real history of b-boying
@@melanatednegus174 bro I lived it, I didn't need to study it. Powermoves and Freezes were the backbone of bboying.
@@chialor1945 one more time, no it wasn't. Its about footwork and actually knowing how to dance, not doing flips, spins all day.
@@melanatednegus174 there's two face to breakdancing (bboying). The subjective and objective portion. If you don't think it's true and base it solely on musicality and dancing. Well, take a look at BGirl Raygun. She displayed the most musicality and originality. Did she win? No.
And again, go back and actually look at the history of bboying. 100% guarantee what made the movement was powermoves and freezes.
