The last break off I had was in North Carolina a few years ago, an unlikely place for break dancing, but my best friend's girl challenged me and i had to go big. Big Wayne's from the streets of Queens, and his firecracker girlfriend is hardcore, so after a few drinks a breakoff hit the linoleum. My backspin was a bit crap, and i can never pull offf a windmill, but I saw that movie Breakin in the theater. had my own piece of cardboard i carried around, and owned some Herbie H on cassette.

One of the greatest things about moving to New York City from the midwest was that breakdancing never stopped here. Crews still fire it up in subways and on streetcorners. This teaser for the Planet B-Boy movie makes me want to finally learn how to windmill.
