I’ll be the first to admit that the only thing I know about skateboarding is that I suck at it. But it doesn’t take much of a stretch of the imagination to see the similarities between skateboarding and b-boying in terms of the movements, cultures and lifestyles.

That being said, this video of Mikey Vallely from “Along the Eastern Edge” is crazy. The influence from b-boying is obvious, from the “freezes” incorporating skateboards to the Run-DMC audio. Consider the fact that this is from 1986, and it’s all the more impressive.

Ridiculous!
