    When battle dancing goes wrong...

    Man Dies in Connecticut Dance Faceoff

    NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (May 9)- A man died while trying to outdo a rival with an acrobatic move while "battle dancing," police said.

    Robert Stitt, 48, and his rival were competing in a parking lot Monday night when he tried a forward flip and landed on his head.

    "It was just two guys dancing. Everybody was laughing," Stitt's friend John Boxley said.

    Boxley said James Brown was on the radio and Stitt wanted to outdo a rival dancer, who had flipped in the air.

    Police said the victim went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead a short time at a local hospital.

    Police said several people were in the parking lot drinking and battle dancing - a competition in which each dancer tries one-upmanship with unique moves.
    At the age of 48... wth was he attempting!?

    Did you see the interviews on CNN. Looked like these were fresh off a bumb-fight.

    Why try a front flip after being drunk?

    He accomplished that before performing the task that got him ultimately killed.

    The thing is... at that age, you'd think that he'd have enough wisdom to know that a bunch of beers and a backflip do not make a good combination.

    You're right. Some people just don't get it. Males especially in certain situations and environments. Were there younger pretty girls watching?

    And besides Gerbick - why have you never explained to me what Superglobals are? I've been at Flashkit since the early 1950's and nobody has explained that concept!

    dude... I should have had a camera with me this one time some big chick was talking about how people were losing weight doing DDR... she got up there, I thought she was going to do decent.

    Wrong.

    "Yeah girl, you're doing well..."

    SMACK!!

    She face planted in two different areas... do you know how hard it is to not laugh at a teenager chick that's as wide as she is tall face planting hard on a video game and she had less rhythm than Milli Vanilli crossed with Stephen Hawking clog dancing?

    Seriously. I just know that I have a newer, closer to the Devil, seat in hell reserved for me now.
