also, stab, do you isai drop? and how do you moonwalk back-to-back? is it just moonwalk, and then moonwalk again? cause i cant seem to do it.. (directed at combofest or stab or charles)

I do the dash dance moon walk and when it is about to end i do the semi circle in the same direction I did the first time. If that made sense at all.

Hey 949 thread people, would it be okay if I go back to Irvine with somebody after the tourney tomorrow? The alternative for me would be to wait in Long Beach until 10 or 11pm, which would be very inconvenient for me. I could contribute gas money.

Would have been better if there wasn't a mistake in every clip and if he knew how to do the PC ledge hog(like me) instead moonwalking back to the ledge.

lol i know it looks exactly like an actual moonwalk, i just don't get why the actual dance move is called a moonwalk.
There are many recorded instances of the moonwalk, Similar steps are reported as far back as 1932, used by Cab Calloway. The origin is the pantomime exercise "Marche sur place" created by mime masters Etienne Decroux and Jean-Louis Barrault and first recorded on film for Children of Paradise in 1944/45). In 1955 it was recorded in a performance by tap dancer Bill Bailey. He performs a tap routine, and at the end, backslides into the wings. The French mime artist, Marcel Marceau, used it throughout his career (from the 1940s through the 1980s), as part of the drama of his mime routines. In Marceau's famous "Walking Against the Wind" routine Marceau pretends to be pushed backwards by a gust of wind.

James Brown used the move, for instance in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers. David Bowie was probably the first rock musician to perform it, though he remained stationary. An embryonic version of the move appears in Bowie's 1960s mime pieces; he had studied mime under Étienne Decroux, Marcel Marceau's teacher, and under Lindsay Kemp, who had trained with Marceau. By the time of Bowie's 1974 Diamond Dogs Tour, Michael Jackson was among those attending Bowie's Los Angeles shows, later remarking on Bowie's strange moves. Another early moonwalker was popper and singer Jeffrey Daniel, who moonwalked in a performance of Shalamar's "A Night To Remember" on Top of the Pops in the UK in 1982, and was known to perform backslides in public performances (including weekly Soul Train episodes) as far back as 1974. Also in 1982, Debbie Allen performs a moonwalk during a scene with Gwen Verdon in Season 1, Episode 10 ("Come One, Come All") of the 1982 TV series Fame. There is a similar dance to the moonwalk as well. It is known today as the 'airwalk.'

In the movie Flashdance, released in 1983, the move was used in the breakdance scene, where a street performer, with an umbrella prop, mimed the wind blowing him backward as he first walks forward, fighting the wind, then starts moonwalking backwards.

Apparently.
