I was just surfing youtube and I ended up here somehow, regardless, it's pretty damn amazing how much control people have over their bodies. Not to mention the strength, endurance and skill required to do what these guys are doing.



Anyways, I just love all this kind of stuff and it's always so fascinating to watch.

I have a nephew that is big into break dancing. He has a crew and all. I think b boying is cool. It takes a lot of skill and yes you have to have a lot of wrist power to be able to do all that. Not to mention, flexibility. Nice video.

Yeah I might be the only one but the dedication and practice that some of these guys and teams do. One day maybe it will be a part of the olympics ^^. BTW I wonder if Korea is still number 1?

Man, breakdancing never ceases to amaze me.

The moves at 1:24 and 3:53 are crazy! :blink:

Yea the shoulder thing at 1:24 and the part at 3:36 are pretty damn amazing (not to take away from the rest because it's all really good, especially the control the guy in the yellow jersey has).

I don't think it'll ever be a part of the olympics. To be honest, I'm not sure if I would care to watch for that at the olympics. Just doesn't seem to be the right fit for the olympics for me. I guess there are only so much in the olympics that I really care to watch for.

Haha, I forgot korea is number one at that. That and of course SC.

Meh, with all the Olympics sports we have today, this would be another cool one to have. I could watch these kinds of things all day and the more I watch the more it makes me wish I had the talent to do those things. When I'm surfing on youtube trying to kill time...I'll end up just watching this videos and all of a sudden an hour or so has gone by <_<

Haha, I'm sure rocket scientists just use tons of formula :P. I think we can do it. But I definitely would be the scrub in the background asking people if they want any water haha.

Lol sounds like a plan to me, it's quite funny though one of my high school friends is actually building and launching rockets now... I believe he's an aerospace engineer.

Wow that's awesome. Where does he work at? That sounds so cool but I'm sure the work behind it is very hard and stressful. Man that still is pretty awesome to actually work on a rocket.

He goes to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (A college in in California) but I think he graduates this quarter/semester.

Oh so he hasn't graduated yet. So is this some kind of senior project or internship he is doing? I thought he was helping out NASA :P.

You should talk to him then. I bet he has tons of cool story to tell you. Ask him if you can join the team and be the water boy :P.
