@enzymesX Correct! You cannot learn this stuff from just anyone. Floor Gangz learned it by talking with our bboy pioneers and gaining knowledge. We are lucky the pioneers of our dance are still alive. Always travel to learn from others, and don't stay complacent. Each one, teach one.
as a hungry student of the game this is exactly what i needed! I would be much more prone to watching bboy vids if they contained educational material like this! thanks strife!
The moment he said "Canada" and "threads" I instantly thought of Megas. This was a really fantastic video. Even though the dance is still relatively young, it's still important to try to record and account for the history, so I'm glad Strive.tv took the time to make this. Thanks to Strife.tv and thanks to Profo!
i also expected something like a move or two in footwork, but i got much more, i got free knowledge and inspiration, mad RESPECT for profo won and strife tv for uploading :D
How to smoke Profo Won: Ask him to try and say perspectives. LOL. On a serious note though, most eye opening vid I've seen in a while. It was interesting to think about these styles and how they apply to myself and other bboys in my scene to see where peoples styles tended to lie. Much respect.
yo big thanks to strife and homie from floor gangz, my apologies i dont know you, but big thanks for droppin the knowledge and lettin the new Bboys grow.
Guidance yo!! Read the article a long time ago, happy to see it reiterated into video form. Big ups to Profo, and thanks for shouting out Gizmo, a Canadian legend.
As a bboy i would say that, when i started breakin' i just wanted to you know.. Break! But i became more interested in bboying though. I wanted to learn about history. Its very important to me. Thanks dude! I will spread this history to my friends and keep bboying living on
@Statykbboy Yes, because floorgangz is very close friends with mighty zulu kingz. If I'm not mistaken mzk has many oldschool/newgeneration bboys. Ness also shares his knowledge and experience with his crew.
@MrRyushinn how much more do you need in terms of city exposure? tdot is always known internationally...of course theres tons of dope crews out in tdot now, mind you it was different before when btx snc bbc etc when they were reppin hard, and different challenges to make themselves known. international battle and events back then are more prestige than it is presently. Now theres so many events that its a different challenge for newer kats to get themselves known...
@ThePayDayRay word up, i understand... perhaps the level is not as distinguishable as other styles to make it known and named as a japanese style.. but yah good to know..
@strifetv I remember zeshen wrote something before saying learn one move you will have one way to move. learn one concept and you will have different ways to move or something like that
@Statykbboy Profo volunteered to share the knowledge he knows in his point of view. He does make perfect sense of what he is trying to show/explain. I'm guessing you're one of those types that must have everything perfect. Respect Profo for his knowledge if what he is saying doesn't suite you then watch another video. Besides, you understood exactly what he meant about the different styles "note, they did show different bboys you can check out that had that style". C'mon man no reason to hate.
@bboylego826 Didn't mean to offend you by the question. Just asking since I've read up on wigglez being the first to make thread concepts and what not. Not trying take anything away from Supernatz.
Can´t confirme with that, these "pretzels" in the video are not the pretzels i´ve learned from "Storm". There is a step in pretzels (kick, step, sweep) There are also steps in the Eurostyle, but yeah less than in the new york style.
for all you internetz teens, learn the roots. not from viral video or your idol's tribute clips, learn it from one of the original bboys and bgirls somewhere near you.
@UAEbboy from what i hear, a lot of people don't approve too much of leg work in the traditional sense of footwork. lot of people will consider it footwork but since it isn't really composed of "steps" and more of sweeps and such, it won't count.
@Statykbboy... Profo does his research and asks the right questions. He made a collective consensus of what styles dominated the World Wide B-Boy scene for the last 15 years. He is one of the only few that I know that choses to go the route of a scholar. Most will be thinking, how does he know? Easy, he's been to your area asked the local pioneer or historian to get his facts. You guys may bitch and complain, but ask yourself, what have you done to expose the art in an educated fashion?
@robnasty i aint hating on him at all. i actually love and respect the fact that Profo broke it down to how much he knows..he def did his research.. i basically commented the fact on someone says "he's from so so crew im sure he knows what hes talkin about" guess what go ask yourself is that the right way to base a knowledge just because he from this and that crew..ofcourse not! I have no doubt Profo did his research!!! Big ups to Profo..
@NateZen My bad i meant Toronto crews need more shine that's all i'm saying. I'm just kinda sick of people associating Toronto/Canada with SNC. Because we got some dope ass crews like FAM and MEC. I'm a Toronto native so i just want to see my city exposed more to the international scene!
strife you should make a hour long educational documentary. We all know you have the connections with the bboy world. ;)
that was really cool to learn about the right name about russian taps, there wouldn't have been any other way for me to have learned that
@enzymesX Correct! You cannot learn this stuff from just anyone. Floor Gangz learned it by talking with our bboy pioneers and gaining knowledge. We are lucky the pioneers of our dance are still alive. Always travel to learn from others, and don't stay complacent. Each one, teach one.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge!! This was inspiring and expanded my thoughts on footwork! Now I will teach it to my class...
sisoi
Mad knowledge. Props to Profo Won for sharing and Strife for documenting.
as a hungry student of the game this is exactly what i needed! I would be much more prone to watching bboy vids if they contained educational material like this! thanks strife!
I expected profo to teach actual footwork steps, but this was much educational! Thanks for this.
The moment he said "Canada" and "threads" I instantly thought of Megas.
This was a really fantastic video. Even though the dance is still relatively young, it's still important to try to record and account for the history, so I'm glad Strive.tv took the time to make this. Thanks to Strife.tv and thanks to Profo!

anything that expands bboy history is good knowledge. very informative video profo
yo big thanks to strife and homie from floor gangz, my apologies i dont know you, but big thanks for droppin the knowledge and lettin the new Bboys grow.
That's been my progression. I started with steps/hops, moved on to sweeps/spins, and now I'm incorporating thread chains.
yo strife man we realy need more vids wit knowledge like these if possible for those who cant reach pioneers
FORGET MATH AND CHEMISTRY I'D HECKA RATHER LEARN THIS!
MORE OF THESE PLEASE, STRIFE!!!!
Guidance yo!! Read the article a long time ago, happy to see it reiterated into video form. Big ups to Profo, and thanks for shouting out Gizmo, a Canadian legend.
2:38
thats a real bboys hand
This was an amazing video. Mad ups for sharing this, strife and profo!
AWESOME
this is the true art of bboying
everyone should see this to know that bboying isn't a subculture or a sport... but a TRUE form of art
daaaaaang PROFO WON FOR THE KNOWLEDGE!!!! TWO for the time. that was a good 6 minutes. thank you Strife for the post (wadup Loan, I know you).
@LawkSam Anyone can teach footwork steps. Only a few can explain where they came from.
The combination of the three styles is the best!
The learning (burn) is the background music
@strifetv i meet him before he really nice..really glad i can learn from him
As a bboy i would say that, when i started breakin' i just wanted to you know.. Break! But i became more interested in bboying though. I wanted to learn about history. Its very important to me. Thanks dude! I will spread this history to my friends and keep bboying living on
@Rockin5teve It was a pretty dope workshop! Which one did you go to?
This is probably the best knowledge about bboying I've seen.
im from ottawa and megus was my big influence in the early 2000s
yeah finally Canada gets some love! big ups to profo won for sharing his knowledge and passing on what he's learnt!
@i8myrice2day2 ...you're saying that to bboy lego. One of the judges for the Red Bull BC One US Qualifier this year.
@Statykbboy Yes, because floorgangz is very close friends with mighty zulu kingz. If I'm not mistaken mzk has many oldschool/newgeneration bboys. Ness also shares his knowledge and experience with his crew.
Just went to Profo Won's Workshop. Dude is dope!
@MrRyushinn how much more do you need in terms of city exposure? tdot is always known internationally...of course theres tons of dope crews out in tdot now, mind you it was different before when btx snc bbc etc when they were reppin hard, and different challenges to make themselves known. international battle and events back then are more prestige than it is presently.

Man this guy knows his stuff!!! i gots some studying up to do, thanks Profo!!!
i love it! thanks for take your time in this educational video.
@ThePayDayRay word up, i understand... perhaps the level is not as distinguishable as other styles to make it known and named as a japanese style.. but yah good to know..
In Canada, imean. ...was everybody (in Canada) doin that?
@strifetv I remember zeshen wrote something before saying learn one move you will have one way to move. learn one concept and you will have different ways to move or something like that
loving this vid, thanx strife and thanx profo for recognizing the real
@The808swag So you're saying Wiggles didn't come up with threads?
Always hungry for knowledge. Thanks.
the nauty one bit was out of nowhere haha
Are you chicano or do you have some latino origin? It is very interesting how you explain the video with background history and visual example...
@wearesupreme1 Those are the Nike Flight Falcons in the Black and Red colorway.
just curious, what's with the fat laces that's trailing from his jeans? seen some heads in my area deck them out like that too. just dont understand.
5:26 "Here, here, here, Here Here Here HERE." LOLOL
BBoy Dyzee is the Threading Master !
i knew i noticed these three distinct styles
@Statykbboy Profo volunteered to share the knowledge he knows in his point of view. He does make perfect sense of what he is trying to show/explain. I'm guessing you're one of those types that must have everything perfect. Respect Profo for his knowledge if what he is saying doesn't suite you then watch another video.

great historical background on the movement
anybody know where i can find a doorag or bandana like profo here?

respect to BTX...Gizmo and Flex. Man we really need to step our game up Canada lets go! Especially Toronto!
when i first heard about that cc elongated i was like wtf cause my crew knew these guys who told them! love living in the bay for that lol
@i8myrice2day2 i def respect Profo, he broke it down..My question is this, Is being part of a crew relevant to his knowledge?
@bboylego826 Didn't mean to offend you by the question. Just asking since I've read up on wigglez being the first to make thread concepts and what not. Not trying take anything away from Supernatz.
that second instrumental...i want it. lol
What is floor gangz? I mean are they an association, excuse mmy ignorance, I know who they are but I just whant to know exactly....thx
Can´t confirme with that, these "pretzels" in the video are not the pretzels i´ve learned from "Storm". There is a step in pretzels (kick, step, sweep)
There are also steps in the Eurostyle, but yeah less than in the new york style.
I like the Toronto style the best.
Wow the canda style is freakin dope
Profo knows wats up! Much Respect! Supernaturalz in da house!
strife...make a video about stretching for someone starting out, please...
dope! i learned alot. thank you
what's the background song?
oh yeah, I really like the style-based bboying - specifically footworks/floorworks
The debate thickens..but at the end of the day the winner is Dance
@UAEbboy na i dont think he means that i think he means because the judges were old school and like traditional NY style steps
so nice....fresh...
for all you internetz teens, learn the roots. not from viral video or your idol's tribute clips, learn it from one of the original bboys and bgirls somewhere near you.
I want to see some thai footwork
that's crazy ya know?
much respect , and thanks alot
Good knowledge bro !
@UAEbboy from what i hear, a lot of people don't approve too much of leg work in the traditional sense of footwork. lot of people will consider it footwork but since it isn't really composed of "steps" and more of sweeps and such, it won't count.
And damn, at 5:27. Belts out a nasty footwork combo in stop motion.
@strifetv True!

@Statykbboy... Profo does his research and asks the right questions. He made a collective consensus of what styles dominated the World Wide B-Boy scene for the last 15 years. He is one of the only few that I know that choses to go the route of a scholar. Most will be thinking, how does he know?

I have no doubt Profo did his research!!! Big ups to Profo..
Knowledge is EVERYTHING

@NateZen My bad i meant Toronto crews need more shine that's all i'm saying. I'm just kinda sick of people associating Toronto/Canada with SNC. Because we got some dope ass crews like FAM and MEC. I'm a Toronto native so i just want to see my city exposed more to the international scene!
