@littlemingo i think you misunderstood me. i never said jerk was a new dance... that's the name of the move in uprock. The dance consists of foot shuffles, spins, turns, freestyle movements and more characteristically a four point sudden body movement called "jerk" (wiki is awesome for proving points when lazy lol). when i started going to jams with my crew almost 6 years ago was when i first saw these dudes in apache lines rocking to like 9 min songs lol and only "jerk" on breakdowns.
@petree wait man im new to uprocking and have tried very little as theres no bboy scene near me whatsoever and tutorials are very scarce so i know nothing about it....but you are making it sound as if knowing the song is all winning an uprock battle is about..is it true? would you think that if both of them are given a song they dont know that whako would still win
@Jayveloria rock dance is not the same as bboying. uprockin isn't the same thing and is actually a different dance on its over. some bboys were originally rockers and bboys adapted the jerks to their tops as seen with the shuffle back drop thing like in 02, 03 etc, but other than that they are really on different tips. on another note! posted by rob nasty is a video of born really killin it uprockin so well prolly see a rematch of whacko and born one day.
@Jayveloria It's hardly a lot of information. This is just what I've taken from talks with Poe1, Dyzee and talking to the older generation of bboys and trying to learn from the people of rockandrockable. Do you really think rocking as in rockdance and bboying as we know them now are the same things?
@bboyfocus12 iono that would depend. knowin the song is important cause you rock the whole song albeit a long one or short one. it prolly prove interesting to see a song they both dont know. Im not a rocker tho so iono. from what i saw, rob nasty already taught born how to rock recently this year so taking all in consideration it be nice to see a rematch
@Jayveloria if you ask born himself. he'd tell you, he's new to Rocking and just developing his style. check out the Rock Dance Forum on facebook and ask out there...
@Jayveloria What are you talking about? New shit, what new shit? My information is external those are my sources. Again I don't know how accurate it is. What is your information? You know borns been following rocking seriously? For how long? What are your sources?? Do you really thinking rocking and bboying are the same?
@Jayveloria Rocking was the precursor to breaking to my knowledge but they've branched off into two different things. A rocker can't come into a bboy comp and only rock just like a bboy can't go into a rocking comp and only bboy.
@ahano Learn about what's going on and understand it. The idea of rocking is to always dance, catch the nuances of the song and both attack your opponent and defend yourself simultaneously. This dance in battle formed shouldn't be performed one by one and doesn't need to be, unlike in breaking where a lot of space is needed for just one person to dance.
@Jayveloria Rocking is not bboying brother. They take and share between each other and to my understanding of the history, breaking developed from rocking and party dances but they are individual styles. A bboy can not automatically rock and a rocker can not automatically bboy.

@petree jerking? O_o pls, don't think that jerk is a new dance, jerking is mixed by different styles from other kinds of hiphop, just new creep... 3 years ago was it jumpstyle.^^
the 1st 2 minutes im watching and im like wtf is going on, nothing has happened. then read the title and description box and says its an up rock battle....FAIL
@LOLq1313 maybe english is difficult for you? i don't think you understand my comment. "coming" has two meanings, it can mean "arriving" or "ejaculating." at 1:56 born pretends to be ejaculating, so i thought it was funny that born knows that "coming" has two different meanings.
