Not Working?
Spinderella, an 11-year-old breakdancer, performed a headspin that lasted 13 minutes and 53.34 seconds.

Re: Longest Headspin
Nice athletic move, but the white kids talking ghetto just makes me sad on the inside. We're witnessing and celebrating a culture in decline. Spin on sweet Spinderella. Spin on.

Re: Longest Headspin
Please clarify. Which culture is in decline, white or black?

Re: Longest Headspin
Yeah.. I've been trying not to reply on here but looks like I'm not the only one who thinks along these lines.
When a sub-"culture" gets to be popular and the easily identifyable elements of it are attitude, grammatically incorrect speaking, and a lot of generally obnoxious behavior then people / culture, as a whole, are/is declining simple because we're reverting back to an earlier state of stupidity

Three things:
Is everyone who isn't ethnically Black automatically white? Those kids look pretty Filipino to me, but I could be wrong. I don't know them.
Another thing: I have no idea where these kids are from. For all I know, this is their culture. Where I grew up, in the SF Bay Area, lots of ethnically diverse people speak "ghetto," because lots of ethnically diverse people come from the ghetto. Ghetto doesn't care what race you are. It's often determined by your socioeconomic status.
A third thing: I don't understand why the way some people talk/act/live/fuck/eat/breathe gets under other people's skin. It isn't my business how you live you life.
No, a fourth: How is this supposed cultural appropriation a sign of decadence worse than New Agers smudging and shit? Ever been to a yoga studio? Cultural appropriation up the ying-yang. How is this more destructive?
Here's what I see: I see a family spending time together achieving positive goals, and haters on the internet finding creative ways to tear them down for it. Amazing to me.

Re: Longest Headspin
About 80% nicely said. I'd have buffered some of it simply because I'd rather see less tension in these comment threads.

I am getting pretty aggro. Probably time for a vacay.

Just pulling your leg. But a vacation sounds great. Where are we headed to?

Re: Longest Headspin
Yeah, breaking out the iPad whilst doing headspin is classic. I like her style.
Re: Longest Headspin
I got a soft spot in my heart for B-Boyz and B-Girlz, under all that posing are some of the warmest people I ever met. This is current and retro at the same time, reminds me of the 80's. The little girl in the back dancing is as cute as it gets, and at 5:00 minutes Spinderella starts doing stuff while she's spinning. You might not be patient enough for the end, but I loved it.

Re: Longest Headspin
No disrespect to eleven year olds, but her record could undoubtedly be beat by a seasoned b-boy or girl. In a battle scenario, or even a non-competitive showcase of artistic expression, a headspin that long would not gain near the respect of one a fraction as long transitioned into four '90s followed by a backflip into a classic nike would ('90s being inverted one-armed, erected rotations.) Headspins may as well be background noise in an actual battle.

Re: Longest Headspin
Um, you do realize that this was a world record attempt, right? What does that have to do with battling? Not only did she do it, but she did it with her three siblings running around, while doing other things, and with a fair amount of variation in her spins. It's not the most exciting video, I'll grant you, but that doesn't make it any less amazing that it was done.
You sound like "Eh, Usain Bolt can run 100 meters in 19.09 seconds, but all he does is run. Couldn't he run some of it backwards, or play jacks, or blow some bubbles while he does it?"
If someone else could easily break her record, I'd like to see them do it.

Re: Longest Headspin
For her age, she's extremely dedicated and skilled. I never meant to disrespect her in any way. All I meant to say was that most breakers are too focused on "the whole package" to bother with a move most fellow breakers consider boring and dated when used to excess. I certainly do expect a challenge for the record in the near future. South Korean breakers specialize and almost abuse so called "power moves," (although headspins border on "power" and "style") and there are undoubtedly at least a dozen in that country alone that could break it if they felt the inclination. Respect to the girl; I hope she keeps it up. I'm just confident her time in the record books will be extremely limited.

Re: Longest Headspin
This girl has worked headspins beyond their intended usage and should move on to halos if she insists on being upside down. Or she could move to South Korea.

Re: Longest Headspin
Of course, you can make a world record out of everything.
Wake me up when she attempts to swim across the Atlantic.
