Just saw this documentary the other day... Man, I hadn't realized breakin' had come so far... I was amazed. Here are some clips from some old Battle of the Year competitions. Last For One 2005 <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Nkgn6KXvzc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Nkgn6KXvzc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Ichigeki 2005 <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KBuqq6KdOzc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KBuqq6KdOzc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Some of this is just ill... And I know there are more out there, newer ones... But wow... these guys from Korea and Japan are just, amazing.
Never too late, but one of the main things I thought you just shouldnt try to start when you're past 30 is breakdancing. Just wouldnt come across....too right. B-Boying has come far. I still like dancing thats done standing up like the guy in the middle of the 2nd vid, not too much rolling and spinning. But it takes a great amount of fitness to pull moves like those off.
You have to respect someone who can dedicate their life to doing something they love knowing that there's a slim chance making much money from it.

Dedicating their life? These guys have gotta be under 21 and will probably be out of it by the time they're 25.
Well, I meant dedicate their life as in time and energy. Like the hustle guy on a college ball team, their just doing it because they love it. Obviously you're not going to see some senior citizens in a b-boy performance. ...although I'm sure there are plenty of older b-boys that contribute to it by organizing events, promoting, or whatever when they could be doing something else for more money (<--my whole point).
Found some Salah stuff... he's all over youtube...

Salah & Damon vs. Magalie & Claire (the sound sucks or this would've been a lot better) Something about popping is just wickedly better when girls do it... . Watch the girls go Voltron on the guys during their 2nd or 3rd round. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1M9ulS0iD2s&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1M9ulS0iD2s&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
