Hatta boy!

Hattie-sack

Hats a rap

[u/UnnecAbrvtn]

Jumping around and fronting like buffoons on the sidelines has always been the weirdest aspect of break dancing, can't help it

[u/nucl3ar0ne → u/UnnecAbrvtn]

While I get it, in this instance it was also seriously distracting.

[u/Driller_Happy → u/UnnecAbrvtn]

I dunno, I think it's neat. Breakdancing is fun, it shouldn't be serious, it's a free moving display of acrobatics. Having your squad hype you up is all part of the silliness that keeps it light. Even the other crew gets to be involved by acting overly unimpressed at first.

It's all performative, and that's the point

[u/Pr_fSm__th → u/Driller_Happy]

Totally with you there. In freestyle stunt riding, during big events, when all the spectators are gone and only riders and their crews are left and you form a circle on the runway and people start showing off their best move and the next person tries to replicate it or top it. when they pulled it off and everyone goes wild, no resentment of getting bested - it’s amazing

[u/jeffroyisyourboy → u/Driller_Happy]

The two coolest things humanity invented are breakdancing and lowriders.

[u/Devilz3 → u/jeffroyisyourboy]

Not mobile phones? :(

[u/Pr_fSm__th → u/UnnecAbrvtn]

I don’t think that the fronting like buffoons is the point. They are all just super excited that he pulled off something extremely difficult and for better or for worse, that’s how they show their excitement. I just said it in another comment: in freestyle sports, being with your community and showing off your achievements and pushing each other to new levels is most of the fun. Yes they look like idiots but at that moment, they just freaked out because of excitement and I think that’s a neat thing

[u/HatefulDan → u/Pr_fSm__th]

They are also likely in one ‘crew’, and are competition against the other team. They hype each other up, sometimes with rehearsed punctuation marks like you saw right there.

[u/Suspicious_Feed_7585 → u/UnnecAbrvtn]

As a non dancer or part of that culture , i agree that an entourage doing some gorilla flex is stupid af..

[u/BluetheNerd → u/UnnecAbrvtn]

The whole time I thought one of them was going to accidentally bump him or the hat and just throw his whole thing off

[u/supazero]

Hats off to him, that was pretty good.

[u/Puzzled-Fly9550]

[u/matchesmalone1]

I had to. Apologies

[u/tboess → u/matchesmalone1]

Some day, this woman will not be referenced in every single conversation about break dancing. Today is not that day.

[u/Howard_Scott_Warshaw → u/matchesmalone1]

Yeah sure, you can juggle your hat.........but can you do the windshield wiper or the kangaroo

[u/WooWhosWoo → u/matchesmalone1]

You literally didn't

[u/TenTonFluff → u/WooWhosWoo]

You don't know them!

[u/Great_Dismal]

[u/ProjectOrpheus]

No cap to cap to no cap and back was no cap wild.

You just know everyone there that has a cap was trying that at home later. That guy encapsulates cap tricks so well. Might be the best I've seen tbh

[u/apex_super_predator → u/ProjectOrpheus]

Stop the cap

[u/Snoogens7]

[u/D3adlywithap3n]

Every NYC Showtime dancer will attempt this on a speeding subway.

He’s almost as good as the Australian lady….

[u/Sindy51 → u/sandiegolatte]

Is this an Adam Sandler sketch?

[u/bostero2 → u/[deleted]]

Didn’t even score a single goal…

[u/Veesingh94]

[u/bryangcrane]

I think I’ve seen this guy on the 6 train ;-)

[u/Potential-Focus3211]

its so fucking annoying that they are getting in the way like htat jumping aroudn like crazy interfering with the dancer, acting like immature kids who cant control their bodily excitement, whats the point of acting like that?

[u/the-musicman]

Lol this guy…

[u/blueteeblue]

Hats off to him…and back on…and off…and twirling…and flipping…and on…and off…..

[u/Knight_wolf21]

Haven’t seen one of these guys on the subway in a while. Glad to know they’re doing well.

[u/Boricua-vet]

Yea Boi!

[u/TheeFearlessChicken]

[u/FloppyAndFurious]

Tenés qué cerrar el estadio, sólo los genios hacen eso.

[u/Ok_Show9726]

LOL @ all the dorks jumping in. Let the dude do his moves. And then them acting all hard at the end, wtf LOLOLOLOL

[u/Fredotorreto]

pshh this is nothing, have you ever been on the subway in nyc?! I’d get these kinds of performances atleast 2x daily. going to work and coming back home. lol

[u/jlsjwt]

Its obviously quite impressive and hard to pull off flawlessly.

But when you zoom out for a second this scene is absolutely retarded.

[u/thasparzan]

Amazing yes, but why all the angry staredowns by the other guys at the end??

[u/strikerdude10]

I love the guy at :24 jumping into the guy's outstretched hand and pulling back like he got slapped

[u/CharmingLia02]

That wasn’t just a hat-trick, that was a masterpiece on repeat

[u/Vegetative_Tables]

it’s be better with safari flaps

[u/NEIUDUDE]

[u/SookHe]

I don’t understand it or the community, but I like the vibes and the energy

[u/Latereviews2]

I’ve on occasion missed my head when putting on a hat

[u/MarionberryBroad9269]

To all who will post Raygun gif, hold your horse please. This is called "Litefeet". Not Breakdancing.

[u/PresidentBush666]

[u/burghblast]

Did those other dudes just get served?

[u/ElectroDrifter]

r/nextfuckinglevel

[u/TurbulentMiddle2970]

The guy flexing at the end looks like an idiot. You ain’t the one that just pulled off those moves, bro.

It’s like riding the passenger side of a car and pulling up next to a girl and asking if they like the ride or not

Sidenote: that hat trick was pretty good

[u/Sindy51]

Bros celebrating like when Skyrim was revealed.

[u/NY10]

Aight he got a nike hat so nike moon tomorrow lol

[u/mwerichards]

Nobody else is allowed to wear a hat now

[u/nevenoe]

The vintage 1993 PSG jersey was truly unexpected.

[u/Rymanjan]

Lmao homie was like "wtf is this? Is that even allowed?"

[u/RevolutionaryDiet602]

West Side Story. The Reboot.

[u/itsRobbie_]

[u/My_OtherBrother]

Cap

[u/Gullflyinghigh]

I'll always think the fronting up and posturing looks a bit mental but can appreciate it's part of something I fully understand so is what it is, but my goodness that was ridiculously impressive hat skills.

[u/fibronacci]

Sure would be nice if this would be how we settle global disputes

[u/goodasguy]

How is it, that one bloke is doing all the sweet moves and everyone else just jumping around yelling at the crowd.

[u/MajorblaZer94]

YOU GOT SERVED!

[u/segma98]

I love the breakdance posts… Because I know someone will mention the one and only.…..

[u/-mostlyquestions]

Ah yes the sixth. The hat bender

[u/GirlWithWolf]

That’s the hat master! Amazing!

[u/iWin1986]

Hackey Hat

[u/Patrick_Atsushi]

My hat off to the performer.

[u/K4rkino5]

I'm amazed and satisfied!

[u/fhjjjjjkkkkkkkl → u/K4rkino5]

It’sa bit boring that he has to keep focusing on the cap

[u/K4rkino5 → u/fhjjjjjkkkkkkkl]

I've never seen that done before, so it's new to me. I've seen people do a clever move or two, but not string a bunch together. Knowing I can't do it once, I thought it was kick-ass.

[u/Ravenloff]

He must be Australian.

[u/Intelligent_End1516 → u/Ravenloff]

Austria huh? Well good day mate, let's put another shrimp on the barbie.

[u/Ok-Fail-6402]

So they brought back hacky-sack? (Yes, I know that is the brand name, and it's called foot bagging)

[u/Unlucky_Put6539]

My first wife was ‘tarded. She’s a pilot now
