    I don't think I've mentioned this yet, so here it is:

    http://vixy.net/

    Enter a url from YouTube, and vixy will transcode it to a reasonable format, and drop it onto your hard drive. So you can download some of the "so many dance clips to download."

  7.  

    That's better than the VideoDownloader extension I've been using. Generally it only does flv files. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2390

    What is his secret? [Emoticon not found] That's it, we should all learn to breakdance. [Emoticon not found] Ransom has a head start on us!

    Not too much of a head start... still definitely time to catch up.

    Did Max break in those videos and I just missed it? Or is breakdance just going to be the secret sauce?

    My understanding is that Max was a bboy originally. His musicality esp. seems to be just like one.
