The problem with a slow version is you don't get done watching it for the first time and think "how did he do that?". It just looks like a guy sliding his feet in a weird way.
When someone does it fast, it looks awesome. It tricks a person's brain into thinking he's walking forward while moving backward, and it takes a double take before people actually look closely at the feet and see how it's done. »www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_3v-_p3ESo -- dslr tools | »Orangeface has RETURNED (for firefox users)

| ^^ the moonwalk at the beginning of that with the spin to tip-toe move at the end is epic
BTW, go to 1:30 in this video for a better representation than that weird OP video. ;P
i think MJ was first to call it the moonwalk, instead of the backward slide or whatever... anyway

Tap dancing is really impressive sometimes. -- dslr tools | »Orangeface has RETURNED (for firefox users)
