The Original "Broomstick Challenge" Master

NASA confirmed that all that science speak about the gravitational pull and brooms was just a hoax. 

​Still, social media has been up for the Broom Challenge. Celebrities flocked to social media with their own spins on the Broomstick Challenge. Even my 10-year old cousin posted pictures of her standing broom on Instagram.

Every time I think about the #BroomChallenge, remember Turbo from Breakin' commanding the broom masterfully as he swept the sidewalk.

Breaking is a New Olympic Sport

Turbo, Michael Chambers, is still pop-locking today. Dubbed the Boogaloo Shrimp by his sister, Chambers allegedly taught the Michael Jackson how to Moonwalk. It was said that Michael Jackson was so impressed with Chambers’ moves that he became a student of the master. Well, at least for the backslide dubbed the infamous Moonwalk. In his documentary on Amazon Prime (linked in the boom box below), Turbo walks us through how he actually made his broom stick stand. There’s also some fishing wire in the mix, but I bet it’s safe to say that we have found the OG of the Broom Stick challenge.

"Oui Oui." The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that Breaking will officially be added to the program for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. This move to make the games "more urban" and "more artistic" comes with a test wave of provisional program additions like Skateboarding and Surfing.   

I love this spin because break dancing was fading from the spotlight until all eyes tuned into America's Best Dance Crew and watched the Jabbawockeez take the win.

Olympics come quick!!

The #BroomstickChallenge makes me want to see this cool movie from the 80s remade. And why not?

The Best Part of Breakin' 2

My favorite scene was from Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo when the bulldozer came to tear down the beloved community center. The ultimate battle of break dancers versus bulldozers ensued. Guess who won. Or click to watch below. 

Two Cents

​Since Break dancing has windmilled its way into an Olympic sport and Turbo is the original master of the Broom Challenge, I motion that the movie Breakin' be remade for all to love again. All in favor, "say aye." All opposed, "say aye," too.
