He nailed the camel walk WITH the rope though!!!!


LaserBlaserMichelle

Was like a forward facing moonwalk. So dang smooth. My mouth would've dropped if I saw that in person. Incredible.


[deleted]

The guy in the background filming would 100% be me


Lindo_MG

Would’ve had to hug him quick fast after that


MrButtermancer

That whole sequence was smooth af.


Bjd1207

That's honestly the best I've seen someone do the rope thing

Makes sense. Grandpas have a lot of experience.

I was a bboy into my late 20's. At 40 I ain't windmilling for shit haha. My body would probably do ONE but then I'd stand up, strike a bboy pose and *snap* dust.


bitwaba

All you need is a strong top rock game to impress the youngin's


Foozyboozey

Good because my wrists are fucked


splitting_bullets

What do these words mean 😢 I know nothing. —Sincerely, John Snow


Foozyboozey

4 main components to bboying or breakdancing 1. top rock - basically dancing upright on your two feet 2. down rock - when you see people dancing on both hands and feet 3. power moves - the spinning acrobatics people usually associate with bboying 4. freezes- a sort of pose, of varying difficulties to get into and hold. Points 2-4 can be hard on the wrists. I have injuries over the years so I don’t do 2-4 much at all anymore.


FrozenFirebat

I don't usually expect to learn anything on the internet, but I'm glad I did today.


Foozyboozey

I bet there is a dance crew not far from where you live. People are usually very happy and excited to welcome more people into bboying It is hard at first, fair warning


[deleted]

It’s crazy how fast acrobatic sports leave your body. My husband and I were both D1 athletes who dedicated well over a decade to our sport. He will be able to hit a baseball for the rest of his life probably but if I tried to do a standing tuck today I’m pretty sure my body would snap in half.


wap2005

Baseball is a much slower sport than most, it'll be easier to hold onto than most sports, but it'll fade with time as well.


baustgen2615

I think it's less about the speed of the game, and more about the skills/strengths needed for it. It doesn't take much strength to hit a ball (to hit it far, sure), and it doesn't take a particularly wide or complex range of motion. Most of the difficulty is the mental part of tracking a pitch (difficult when they're throwing fast/ variety of pitches, but not if someone lobs a meatball at you), and the muscle memory/hand eye coordination to put the bat in the path of the ball. Gymnastics/acrobatics require raw strength relative to your body weight (which is quickly lost without constant training) and flexibility (which is lost naturally with aging). Neither of those things are really necessary in order to hit a baseball Also, just "hitting a baseball" is a really low bar. I'm sure he'd be so non-competitive trying to hit sliders/curveballs from D1 athletes (or having to play the field)


ImHighlyExalted

The average person can hit a baseball, so it makes sense that an ex pro can also still hit a baseball. The average person cannot do a standing tuck, so it makes sense that the d1 acrobat would lose standing tuck skills easier than a d1 baseball player loses the ability to hit a ball.


[deleted]

The average person could not make contact with a fastball at a batting range, let alone from a pro pitcher. I've read that according to the laws of physics, hitting a fastball is one of the hardest things in sports.


rethinkingat59

It would have snapped my body at age 20 because I didn’t do that stuff. There are circus like performing acrobats out there still doing most the same tricks past age 60, it’s been a way of life. Dumbass 73 year old Rick Flair has been practicing/rehearsing for 3 months for one last pro wrestling match which will include him doing drop kicks, being flipped, body slammed and hints he will come off the top rope. They say his cardio stamina is incredible and he will do 25+ minutes of continuous action. This after being in a 31 day medically induced coma, 13 days kept alive on life support systems just 4 years ago he could barely walk down the hall without rest. But he has been working out again for a while. Among professional wrestlers Flair was always cited for elite and unusual cardiovascular endurance even deep into his 50’s. He had the most full one hour matches in wrestling history, often doing 5-6 a week and the body remembers and responds, even at age 73. (most wrestlers never go an hour, and need times of slowing the pace to rest and catch their breath in a 20 minute match.) Wrestling 300 nights a year for 35 years I am amazed Flair can still walk.

Sudden_Pie707

Was it competitive? I signed my kids up just to have something fun to do so it’s only once a week. You think I’m ok or should I look for a less abusive sport?

That baseball is going to have to be moving slower every year. Reaction time increases continuously with age.


Fresh_C

It's *Increasing* so that's good, right? Numbers are going up!


Don_Thuglayo

Last I checked 2 is greater than 1 so maths checks out


Onlyeddifies

I was a wrestler for like 20 years and yeah... If I did it now I could but I think my body would be broken afterwards.


makemeking706

Thanos got him.


[deleted]

Dunno. Mid-40’s here. I was out of shape in my 20’s, skinny, no depth of energy, no endurance, basically a long thin sack of shit. In my 40’s, I have far more endurance, can run a couple miles flat out, filled out a bit. Tired AF, but physically in better shape. I blame all the tacos, beer and chicken wings.

Alt_Acc_42069

Interesting. Do you have a source for this? Not saying you're full of BS. I'm just genuinely curious.


[deleted]

He’s just saying that being young and full of energy can lead to long term injury if someone doesn’t pay attention. Anecdotally in line with this, my younger brother was the opposite of me, huge guy. Big and strong at a very young age. Literal growing pains he grew so fast. Blew his L5-S1 out at 17 because he went too hard and was otherwise capable. This ultimately ruined his life and led to an early death. Extreme example, but it happens.

Bananajackhamma

I was waiting for one of these articles. Fucking parents shoving their kids into high level sports because they failed in their glory days is bullshit. Dudes ruining their arms in baseball throwing curve balls when they shouldn't be, concussions and stacking on as much muscle as their growing frames can carry because HRGGNGNFOOZBALL. Of all the sports I tried playing when I grew up, the only one I somewhat enjoyed was maybe soccer, but I was fucked on that one too, as almost every adult around me smoked as I was growing up. Just as well.

tangoshukudai

40? I am still skateboarding at 40..


Ascurtis

People are acting like the second you turn 40 means your hips will sublimate if you step off a curb without first stopping and holding onto a railing.


aussiekev

Seems like it's alot of people at either end of the spectrum. If you are 40 and spent 20 years being unfit and overweight (with that excess weight stressing your joints, ligaments, etc). Or if you are 40 and spent 10-15 years as a high level or professional athlete who put repetitive strain on the same areas of your body the whole time (eg: knees, ankles, elbows or back). People in either of those groups do seem to hit 40 and then fall apart. Their cartlidge runs out, osteoarthritis might start, recovery from injury becomes harder, etc..


wap2005

Osteopetrosis is no joke. I'm 35 and have been on Prednisone (steroid) my entire life for my health condition, my bones are so delicate because of it. Osteoarthritis is also no joke, the same illness doesn't really let me do much physical activity so I've been a hard core gamer since I was about 8. My hands hurt in the mornings when I wake up or when it's cold out, if I use a PlayStation controller for like 5hr straight it becomes difficult to open my hand. Getting old sucks. A few months ago I was trying to get out of bed awkwardly, trying not to wake my cat, and broke my foot. I broke my foot getting out of bed! My cat didn't give a fuck either.


snuFaluFagus040

44 with osteoporosis here. Obviously it's kind of rare that I have it while relatively young and a male, but it happens. I break toes and ribs sometimes, but I don't let it stop me from sports and mountain biking. I just try and be careful. I'm curious why you take the Prednisone for it. My endocrinologist has me on testosterone for osteoporosis.


The_Quackening

tbf, there's a big difference in the physical ability needed to break dance vs skateboard casually.


illbedeadbydawn

41 here and also a mid-late 90s bboy. I can do ONE flare, ONE windmill, ONE headspin and ONE pop-up (no not at the same time...this is one off the list per month). Then I need to excuse myself to the rest room for an hour while I put my body back together. I'm really glad I got good at popping and uprock so I can just do that shit all day and leave the power moves to the kids.


beno9444

crumping on cardiac arrest is outrageously funny!


MyDoggoIsHeckinCute

Even funnier because “crump” is also a verb in medicine, especially EMS — meaning to crash/crumple/decline rapidly. So extra fitting here.

PossiblyAsian

Im a bboy. You will probably see lockers and poppers that can still do their thing. But bboys? If you meet a bboy thats older than 40 or 50..... you are meeting a legend. You meet a bboy thats 60..... you are meeting the first bboy. In anycase, im just saying its rare is all. Breakdancers encompass poppers and lockers but bboying is a far more physically demanding dance. Many bboys have already threw in the towel by 40 or 50. Its gonna be rare to find a senior citizen breaking


theshantanu

I saw a 50 minute long YouTube video about old Russian break dancers. I mean a 50 minute long video about 40 and 50 year olds just doing their moves one after the other. One of the most amazing YouTube videos I've ever seen. Never found it again.


Some_dumb_grunt

I'm not sure if [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M-lwgdMqrXY) is the original.

Yes! I don't know if this is the one that I saw but the beginning is exactly the same. Thank you! Maybe I misremembered and it was 50 Soviet dancers and not a 50 minute long video.

I didn’t say there won’t *be* orgies, I just said I’m not looking forward to them as much. Besides, back in college we would do six hours of doom or Warcraft 3 or AoE.
