For those of you that can step dance. How exactly do you do this?? I've been looking this up and can't seem to get a definite answer. Some of the videos i watch, the dudes are doing different motions. Whats the deal?

I'm pretty sure this isn't going to get a huge response, but though I'd throw it out there.

Theres a bunch of different variations, The crip walk has become more of a type of walk rather then a single walk and you'll see tons of variations. This is the video that I think best resembles the original crip walk and the basis for most of the other videos you'll see http://youtube.com/watch?v=tSfp8MYRLwM&search=crip%20walk%20xzibit

dude, its all variations on toe-heel. thats the basis of crip walking. it really can be anything as long as its toe heel and switches feet, and you bounce.

Why thank you all very much. Skier27, I've seen that video before, i just wasn't sure that was the "basis". Now i know what i have to work on. Perhaps Lil G or B Rasta could enlighten us further...

So Im going to show my ignorance, but do crips actually walk like that?? I cant say Id be too intimidated seeing someone dance down the street towards me...
Kinda reminds me of like west side story...

Please though, I had to get the jokes outa the way, but whats the deal? is it a real "walk"?

Umm hard to explain... theres a little history behind it. Obviously they don't walk everywhere like that haha. It was mostly used for special crip rituals and even as a signal during crimes. But today its viewed mostly as a dance. Popular in clubs and stuff. Take a look

it used to be one dance, but now that there are so many variations its more of a freestyle. you come up with your own styles.
