Don't get Breakdance or Breakdance II: Electric Boogaloo, they're a f ucking joke. Not real B-boying. Get 'The Freshest Kids'...you'll get that in Freebird records underneath the 'Bustop' newsagents on the northside of the quays. If you don't get it there, check All-City records in Crow Street, Temple Bar or just order it in Tower. They always have plenty of b-boying DVDs in All-City anyway. If you want to learn...well there's no real b-boying classes I know of, that's not really how it works. You kind of have to know someone. There's training in DCU most nights a week in the evening, ask for Bon, he'll sort you out...

id love to pop down some night and look at the b boying in dcu
just even to hear the sounds there playin

don't let Turbo and Ozone hear you talking like that, they'll come and burn you out in the blink of an eye, yeah even if one of them is already on crutches

on crutches?whitch one?

JoeSchmoe

I can't remember which one, its about 20 years since I've seen the film, one of the "crew" in the movie breaks his leg or something and does a rountine on crutches

Ay Cee

Yeah Turbo does. I watched the DVD last night.

OMG!!! The thing should be sponsored by Mitchelstown it is that cheesy.

There is very little proper b-boy stuff in it. It's a lot of professional dancers trying to to do b-boy moves.

But that movie should be watched for the pure state of Ice T in it and nostalgic purposes of course.

So who was in the posh crew who could afford lino?!

We were ghetto with taped up cardboard boxes

Aimster

Is there no sites for the Breakdancing stuff that happens in DCU in Dublin?

thafitz

try asking someone in the dcu forum.

michelleb1985

anyone know who's in charge of breakin over in dcu and if so do you have their email add, i think it's keith o brein but not too sure
