Break Dancing

[jasonl]

Does anyone remember when people used to breakdance in the 80s?

Check this guy out.

Recognize the beat?

Ahh yes...the familiar clunky agitation of a DD Kenmore (Shredmore)!

Wonder what would happen if you put this guy in front of a 1-18? ;-)

always something GOOD on this forum. about the video, i imagine SWAYING my hips to the gentle rhythm of a center-dial Maytag.

Nothing like a Whirlpool/Kenmore Direct Drive System!

I remember break dancing...

But I don't recognize the washer (if that's what it is).

Sounds more like... a Rollermatic!

It's the Shredmore in your mom's house!!!

If the washer was beating 8th notes, it would be fast like a punk rock song, or if the washer was beathing 16th notes, it would be a hip hop kind of groove.

The 1-18 would be more like Metallica or some kind of hard metal.

But for real washer music, nothing beats a Belt drive kenmore. And the delicate cycle is a nice slowww groove.

AAAhh yes! break dancing one of the things us 80's kids grew up with! One of the few types of dancing I actually didn't look stupid doing. The washer makes things fast-paced that's for sure. Most of us though used one of those giant boom boxes with 8 inch speakers that ran on 12 D cell batteries! (still got mine!)

I remember those Conion and Helix boxes! Kind of like a 17" laptop. Not so portable but cool to have.

I want the Sharp box that had the built-in record player. Yes, a full-size 12" vertical phonograph in the middle of the box. How's that for big?
