@AstrayChronicle naw i stand by threading is footwork. like saying a 6 step is footwork and doing it over and over again won't get you passed the pre-lims either. but threading is still footwork. threading works for every component of bboying. but it can be recognized as footwork. its not like thesis doesn't thread 60% of the time like Roland Bluntz does.
there are no boundaries to whatever categorie you put a move into. a real bboy doesnt care if its footwork, thread, trick. if it works then work it! dayum guys stop being such E-Boys!
@ConDiliumtious You should talk to a footwork judge. If we're talking about a footwork contest, repeating moves will get you knocked out. I don't see what you're trying to establish. The threading Bboy I was referring too used different threads throughout. As soon as he started pulling out threads the MC right away called him out by saying that's not footwork. Hell even the crowd said that. You can add a thread into a step like a threaded 7. But to use them alone is not footwork.
@AstrayChronicle well i never said threading alone. coz threading isnt footwork. but in footwork its counted. and why do you think roland is well known and known as the inventor of a style. he does threading does that mean he's not good? the bboy scene is changing and becoming more innovative. weird things become things nowadays
@ConDiliumtious LOL. I've seen a Bboy do constant threads in a footwork contest. He never made it out of the prelims. Threads isn't footwork or it wouldn't be recognized as a different entity. You can use it in your footwork but to call threads footwork is wrong.
@db7987 agreed! but im starting to get annoyed now because originality isnt original any more if you notice! but respect to these bboys originators of there style.
@ConDiliumtious You said threading is still footwork. Now you say threading isn't footwork. If you're dumb enough to pull out stuff like 2:09 when Roland steps on his hand during a footwork battle you'll get knocked. Anything that isn't clearly a part of a footwork step will not be counted. In a footwork contest you can do whatever as long as it transitions into footwork. And really there is not a lot of footwork moves that have gone together with threads. Often it is clearly a thread.
@AllTooNasty look bro, i know you're a fucking dope bboy. i've heard of battle born and dope shit at the boty. you also are an inspiration to one of my friends who i practice with. nonetheless dude, you dont fucking define bboys by vocabulary. maybe at a jam we'll meet each other in a cypher but honestly you would smoke me. just dont automatically make rules on the street what vocab to use and what vocab you shouldnt. imo.
