How to Make a Stormtrooper Breakdance

(upbeat dance music)

When I was a little guy way back in the 1980s

I loved two things more than anything else

and that was Star Wars and breakdancing.

Some friends and I figured out how to combinedthe two.

Not all Star Wars figures can do this.

First you need an original 3 3/4 inch figure

and don't go using a mint condition Boba Fett

that's worth like a grand on eBay

all you need to do is get a couple guys

with nice round heads.

Now this Stormtrooper in Hoth Battle Gear is a good choice.

Get rid of any weapons, you don't need them.

This is a dance battle, not a gun fight.

Then you take a dime, just one thin dime like so

and you kinda wedge it in between the action figure's legs

up here at the top so that you're flush with the crotch.

What an awesome phrase that is

and so that you're pushing the legs out a little bit

so that you kinda have this Y shape happening.

From there you find a nice flat surface.

You put the action figure on it's head.

You grab it on either side, try to get it on it's arms

so you have some leverage and give

it a good twirl like a top, try to use

some force if you you know what I mean.

There you go, sweet head spin.
