carlton! zomg, now we know where he learned all those dance moves he would flash on fresh prince.

i CAN'T BELIEVE we all forgot about breakdancing. man, i remember my brother would carry around a cardboard box and meet his other breakin' buds at the abandoned gas station behind my apt building.

i just remembered another 80's phenomenon: skateboarding!

ah man... good times good times....
