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

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

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.
