Hi Otis, I have been checking out your tutorials for a long time. I feel like now the mechanics of dimestopping is actually the foundation of the “hit”. I am practicing dimestopping a lo but by tensing muscles at the end to create a hit. Do you think this is an effective approach? I have been having trouble getting clean timed hits…

You should add a video to the article to give a visual example.

yes core tension is very important!!! Perhaps disproportionately so, but the truth is if you can’t create rigidity from the floor through the top of your head and all they way through your finger tips (and maybe even the eighth chakra and beyond if you want to get new agey with it) then you will only be able to dimestop certain movements and they will not be as crisp. Complete stopping and mastery of the various resonance techniques that build on it require that the body can assume tuning fork like rigidity. Channel the cosmos dude.

I’ve got one point that some people might find obvious, but it took me a while to figure out. Usually, between each dimestop it is important to maintain a consistant speed. An un-real consistent speed. That’s how somebody can do a crazy robot even before they stop.

What up Otis, much props baby. It is cool as hell that you take time out to give valuable information regarding poppin, no disrespect, but I have never in my life heard of a dime stop other than in running and driving. I know what you are probably thinking, but no I am 43 years old, I started bustin back around ‘78, ‘79, and can still get down. I would say that you were referring to “hittin” which alot of people don’t do anymore, not like we used to, people like Shrimp, Bruno, Heckle and Jekyl, or people in from the OC like me Sir Wave, Flaco, all of the Santa Ana Boppers. Sir Wicked, Crazy Crow, Flaco and Isreal. I gotta visit this site more often so I can go to some events. I will be posting some videos soon, but you can check me out on you tube: terry allen still bustin, pop lockin 101, or pracitce session-terry allen.one
