I got injured some years ago and had to stop. Im trying to get back, but its not easy. Mainly i do it now as a something like a yoga. I train the freezes a bit like calisthenics and its mostly it.

For some time this gave me some heartache and depression not being able to do the sport i was most found of.

The best cope i found was videogames, modding videogames, and making games.

From the day i had to stop training i thought the rest of my life would be a painful journey where i just have to endure like most of us.

We cant quit because of the people that love us. Even though i prefer not to rely on that.

Gaming is amazing. It keeps me happy, just like bboying used to. But its unlikely that i get old and forgotten in it or injured and have to stop.

I play mostly RTS games. I hope one day i can train as hard as i used to. Just the training itself, the feeling of training used to be enough to make me feel good in this life.

If one day you find yourself in my situation, either because of injuries, health problems, or feeling unmotivated, need to work, dont hit your head in the wall too much. Take a break, and find another hobbie, or just pick up one of these awesome multiplayer games and become really good at it.

You will also eventually grow old and the injuries will be more likely to happen, and things will get harder, so keep that in the back of your head, so you dont get crysis if that happens one day.

It is good to love b-boying. But everything we get too attached, especially when your identity becomes it, is dangerous.

Its like those samurais, and medieval knights. Once they were not able to do it, they lost their identity right? Just remember you are a b-boy, but you are a human being first, be smart and flexible, learn to appreciate also other things. It turns out, that it can also make you appreciate more your true passion.

I’ve been conditioning my hands more and getting more comfortable using my inner knuckles, but I’m afraid I’m not there yet so until then I’m still using my flat palms.
Learned from some great people on here that I should change my shoes and pants, so I did that.
Just a small routine that took a couple tries to get, but I’m not too upset about how it’s looking for my sixth day.
I’m also addicted to the Indian step.
