          The Olympics committee is cracking down on piracy and even taking down people’s phone recordings of their TVs. This is the best thing we have of this video.

        Thanks so much for this! Glad to have finally seen it!

        You know…the thing is that without context it’s really not the worst thing in the world. She clearly has more breakdancing ability and knowledge than the average person on the steet.

        But it’s certainly odd…it’s like she didn’t get the memo that she was supposed to be doing tricks in her routine, and the few she attempted had poor technique and were not executed very well. It’s like someone pitted some random kid from the high school track team against Usain Bolt. It’s like…ok…compared to the general population who isn’t trained in track and field, the high schooler has some knowledge and ability. But compared to an Olympian? Why are they even up there?

        Except my comparison in this scenario is a bit ironic considering all the kids wiped the floor with her.

        All in all a confusing as hell scenario.

        this was the Australian competitor for the Breakdancing competition. based on the pic, you don’t really need to watch the video to figure out how that turned out… but this poor person will never live it down.

        edit 2: couldn’t find a good video that wasn’t from some weirdo youtuber

          My partner found one yesterday… but it didn’t have sound and was recorded from TV with a phone.

              Bless you. We’ve watched it and she’s not anywhere near as bad as I expected—she did some sick moves! But she’s absolutely not Olympic level… and she faced against teenagers, who are much more nimble than someone twice her age.

              The meme pose was funny, and while I don’t disagree, I’m sad she got ZERO points. But… the other gurlz were better.

              Edit: I assume this is your channel? If so, I’ve told my partner not to share it.

                Yeah it’s just odd…compared to someone like you or me (presumably anyway…I suppose you could be a master breakdance but I’m working with odds here lol), she’s really good. But compared to advanced level break dancers, she’s clearly an amateur. A lot of it is just confusing…it’s like she didn’t realize she was supposed to be doing tricks in her performance. And the few she tried to execute had somewhat poor technique and didn’t land well.

                The commentators at one point say that Raygun likes to use improvisation. I’m wondering if she didn’t realize she was supposed to actually have a clean routine. It’s like she thought they were just there to vibe.

    Man the one on the right just hunkers down in the middle of the trail, no roosting! And they taste dusty when they fly up and hit you in the face while you’re mountain biking at night.
