This guy from Cordão de Ouro Ceara performs a complex little sequence involving a twisting back-flip before busting out a sweet handspin - and gets two rotations. There's a lot of controversy surrounding the possibility that b-boys inherited this move from capoeira - they call is a '99'. The facts are that Mestre Jelon and others were touring the states with a capoeira show in the late 70s and this coincided with the point at which Puerto Rican crews started on the power moves that popularly characterise breaking today. It may seem like a spurious connection but I feel there's a strong likelihood that the handspin originates from capoeira. Then again, who knows where things really come from.... in the cases of bboying, locking, popping or capoeira it often turns out to be Africa. Pião de Mao translates as spin of the hand, handspin.
