What can I say about Crazy Legs, he is by far one of the most famous

break dancers ever, he has truly influenced the world of breaking

making countless appearances from television to videos to movies.

you gotta give the guy props

he has single handedly gained legendary status from old

school to new and that is why he is this months old school tribute.

(Take a look at the picture on the right notice

the "legs" now you know why he's Crazy Legs.)

explaining how "he says" he
developed the backspin.

Legs at the United Skates of America Rollerrink "floor
rocking" (ground moves) as it was called. This place saw
some of the earliest and biggest battles between crews.

One of the first times I saw breaking I saw Crazy Legs, I didn't know it was
him at the time, but that 2 minute seen in "Flashdance" was the beginning of my
transition from doing the robot and popping and locking to wanting to do floor
moves and backspins (for those of you that didn't know Crazy Legs was also
the stand in double for Jennifer Beals when she does the backspin on the floor
during the audition for the ballet company)
