I read a lot of complaints about bboys saying he didn't recognize the origins of airflare in bboying. Just watch this and know that he fully appreciates the difficulty and artistry involved in getting

the airflare.
This video includes an interview at the start before a montage of his learning process.
Also, unfortunately he wasn't able to perform the move at the Beijing Olympics due to an ankle injury sustained I think during preliminaries. Sad.
UPDATE 2012: It appears the IOC is trying to name the move in Olympic Competition as the "Hamminator" This is an atrocity to say the least. What isn't clear to me at the moment is whether Hamm has let the fame to go his head and try to claim it as his own move, or whether the IOC is just unwilling to pay respect to the bboys. Regardless of that, show your support for the bboy community and integrity by signing this petition:
