Brazil Baby!
So check out this quick lil demo they made of me. Yea they actually made it themselves to promote me as a judge and an instructor in their workshop. It's dope. I hate the last pic of me though. hahaha. I look mad deranged. Well check it out. Supposedly it's famous in Brazil.
So that's a lil bit of why I was in Brazil. What they did was cool this year. To demonstrate why the judges were judging, they had me and Wary do kinda of a 7 to smoke kind of thing with the local bboys from Brazil. It was dope. I give respect to that. They called it Burn Breaking. There was 7 invited bboys which include me and Wary. But also 2 selected bboys from specific crews in the crew battles. The crew had the option to pick their own bboys to represent their squad. Yea son! So I'll get back to you about that in a lil bit. See ya!

First 24 hours in Brazil
and beans. My favorite! And also a kinda of pork kebab with small
pieces of yuca made a traditonal Brazilian way. Doesn't it sound
yummy. Mmmmm. Well it was real good, yup yup. All to wash down with a
mix of a lil bit of beer and wine. Something new to Brazil but they
love it. So I tried it. I just want to eat the traditional stuff and
also what the locals eat.
So I get picked up by Bgirl Nitro of Street Breakers to be taken to
her house to drop off my bags and head over to the resteraunt where I
get my first delicious meal. But we take a long and fun walk through
the dark and dangerous streets of Sao Paulo. Haha. It wasn't that
dangerous. But before coming out here people were telling me how
dangerous Brazil is. Maybe for a tourist but I don't think a bboy from
NYC would have a problem. Haha. Just playing. Nah Im with locals an
I'm pretty street smart so I think I would be fine. Plus I may look
like Im from Brazil. um..... Maybe not. But yea it was fun checking
out the ruff parts of Sao Paulo out. Kinda reminded me of the South
Bronx in the summer but a lot dirtier. I mean a lot dirtier. Garbage
in the streets because the homeless young and old scavenge through it.
The resteraunt we ate wasn't fancy, just an old traditional place
making food for the soul. And it was delicious! After that we went
back to their crib and chilled out. Then I also found out how even
more awsome my iPhone can be. Man I love this phone. I don't need a
labtop. This is all I need. As long as I have wifi I'm good to go. I
don't have service but I can still go through the net. So I learned
from another fellow iPhone owner that I can download skype and call
home as long as I have wifi service! WHAT! I mean maybe some of you
already know this but I didn't. So I'm paying 13 bucks a month and I
can call back home any number in the US and Canada unlimited. Which
will come in handy because I will be overseas at least twice a month.
Oh And 40 other countries are in the deal. Well back to my adventure.
So in the morning Wary from Dynasty Rockers from Paris arrives and we
get some breakfast. Mmmmmm. The goodness continues. Natural fruit
juices baby! I got my favorite fruit maracuya(passion fruit). Oh yea!
With some rice and beans and of course steak and eggs made the
traditional brazilian way. So they say. Yo why can't the states make
natural juices like this. Come on man. The rest of the day we check
out the city an enjoy the warm weather. Sorry for all my homies living
it up in the winter. I feel for ya. SIKE! Hahahahahahahaha.
Anyways..... Out here in the streets of Sao Paulo they have a crazy
epidemic of hot girls that most likely are guys. Yup. I mean there are
beautiful women out here but... The guys out here that are trannies or
what the locals call Traveco look better than some of the women. So
ask youself this, would you like to get with a hot girl that can have
a chance being a man or be with an ugly girl that you know is a
female. Lucky for me I got a gorgeous woman at home so I don't have to
risk it. Besides that I'm having a great time, even though my homies
continiously remind me about pick pocketers. Now back to my adventure
and Ill get back to you about the next 48 hours. This was my trip from
arriving wensday night into Thursday night. I know I know it's Friday,
so what!

The BC One experience
Wednesday, October 21, 2009
Can you see the difference?
A lot of bboys get it in their elbows from doing crazy air freezes or elbow tracks or whatever it is your doing on elbows. I don't rock knee pads. Never liked pads. I felt like I was doing a sport than dancing but now it might change how I feel. I love my body so I want to keep it intact for as long as possible and be able to dance as long as I live. That's what I want but reality may be different. So I believe in myself. So if anyone has suggestions on what to do please holler. I would love to get this taken care of as soooooooon as possible. I got a big battle this weekend in philly. The redemption and then the biggest battle BC One. Sooo any advice would help. And once I get it taken care of I'll let you know what I did. Iiiiiight. Dynamic out!

The Life of A NYC BBoy in the summer of 09'
Yea.... So.... This summer for me was ..... I don't even know how to describe it briefly but it was a lot of work. Yea please believe it. I'm all jammed out and basically mentally beaten. I mean it started after july 4the where I chilled with my girl Kim and my pops out in Maryland. We chilled on the battle field of Antietem. A major conflict in the civil war. After that weekend it was on. Mind you, me and the crew started before that cause that's how we get ready for battles. So here's the summer run down. First went out to Toronto, Canada for battle of the Sexes and battled Lynx (Smoked her ass). It was a battle where they paired up a boy against a girl, simple. Got back and filmed Stet Up 3 with the crew( Whorah, Gravity, and lil Man). During that time was Street Kings Boro battle, then the infamous Sneaker Box jam. Supreme stopped our winning streak but resumed the week after with Rocksteady Anniversary and chicken beer. Went to United Styles and had a heated battle with Killafornia, but lost to Funky Masons after being gassed up. It happens that's why you stay humble. But always have that bboys swagger. Then the Octagon, problems Kru anniversary a week after and then Freestyle Session. Mind you we are training in between all of these events. No time to party or chill really. Discipline baby! Haha. But it doesn't end. I go to St. Louis to judge which is somewhat of a relief since I just have to sit and watch. Now let me tell you one thing about judging, IT AIN'T EASY! No sir it isn't. I rather battle than judge. Next week was IBE and to come back to leave for Seattle to do the takeover. Then I went straight to Orlando to meet Kim's parents. Learned how to surf(maaaaaaaad fun) and did some inner tubing with her fam. Had a great time for about 3 and a half days. Ooooh I also learned how to make Pho! Ohhh yea thanks Loan( I hope I didn't spell it wrong, my girl's mom name). Yea Pho is Vietnamese Noodle Soup and is my favorite. Mmmm mmmmmm mmmmm. Whew back to NYC just to go to DC and catch a ride with Beat Wacks to North Carolina where I judge the Swoon Unit's 10 year anniversary. Now I'm finally home and relaxed a lil but couldn't. Why you ask?! Cause I got to train for Red Bull BC One bitches!. Yup that's right I will be representing NYC and it is an honor that me out of all of NYC's bboys. So if you see me, put it on me. Smoke me. Cause I need it.
I will be training and I won't let NYC down. I promise. This is what I love and this is who I am. Yea stop making fun of me from that commercial. My boys haven't let me slide at all with that one. And I just found out my girl is Pregnant. Well we finally decided this week we're going to go through with it. But now I look into my life and see if I can take care of my child when it's born. Especially if this is the life I will be living. Traveling like crazy. I don't want to be away from the baby and my girl. So right now its a lot going on. Plus doing the NBL out here and also putting together the Massacre within a month and a half. What am I doing to myself. Its too much but I believe I can do. I'll find a way. Let's go NYC. What should I do? Well I got to go back to training. So I'll let you know how that goes. Stay tuned!

I.B.E. experience
Back to the breaking. So yea I go on a flight and sit next to no other than the prince ken swift himself and 2 other 7 gems, Nako Avatar and Clarky. 2 other inspirational rockers in the game. The correct term for what you may call Up rock. My flight was mad smooth as I watched about 3 movies. I'm already enjoying myself. Oh yea Alien Ness and his wife was on the same flight as well. Those two are a trip. They definitely are happy together. Lol. So I arrive to the infamous city of Amsterdam just to leave and go to the small town where the event was being held. 2 and a half hours away. Damn man I just flew 8 hours. But the time goes by cause I'm chilling with my peoples. And Candy was already there so she joined us for the ride. We finally get there and out of everyone my room wasn't ready. Ah damn! Another 2 hour wait until I sleep. Hahahahaha. Oh well. Finally Toyz arrives and he's rooming with me and so is Bebe who arrives later. So the rest of the day was fun as I walked around the small town checked out a few of the pre parties. That's right like 3 things were happening the first day. Martha Cooper had a dope exhibition of subway art. Showing the beginnings of our art as well.
Second day went by like a blur. So many events happening all at the same time. Workshops, battles, exhibitions, panel discusions, concert, etc. All happening at the same time. I pretty much got stuck in the same building most of the time. I judged the Circle Pince battle and planned to enter the Footwork which were both in the same building. One after the other. Each building/ area was called a cypher. Dope concept. So since I was in the same building most of the day, I didn't get to see everything. But in between I ran around and was trying to see as much as I can get.
After the footwork I was a lil upset. I felt I won during the battle and was shocked when all 3 judges picked Tony Rock. I accepted it and felt I did something wrong. I respect all of the judges that were judging. Freeze(Ghost Crew), Taya( Flow Mo), and Alien Ness(Zulu Kings). But after the battle it got worst. Especially with everybody and there mother telling me they thought I won. Even Tony Rock and his crew thought I won. That irritated me even more. But I got over it eventually. I did save a lot of my new and best footwork rounds to battle Focus in the finals. Once again that's what you get for saving your moves for the next time. Always go hard. So I'm going to train even more harder so that all my go downs are straight fire! I went to the U.K. Champs pre lims where they were running behind schedule because an unexpected 89 crews signed up. But each crew consisted of about 8 to 10 bboys. God damn that's a lot of bboys. But yea it was bananas. Mad cyphers and I watched the final battles. They picked the top 2 crews to go to represent at the Champs. Hooch told me that next year there will be a U.K. Champs in NYC next year at the Rocksteady Anniversary. It was an honor to also hear him tell me that he wished the Dynamic Rockers were able to represent at the Champs this year. We'll definitely train for that one. Believe that! Went to the after party and that was mad funny. Nothing but bboys cyphering to house music. It was bad. Hahaha. There were females but they were being scared off by the testosterone in the air. Just when you thought you had enough breaking there's more. Bboys need to know when to just chill and party. But I went home early to rest for Day 3. The all battles all.
Now this venue was off the hook. It looks smaller in person but it's still hot fire. Just watching row on top of row of people dangling and looking down on you was insane. Quite an experience let me tell ya. I was busy trying to look for Whorah cause I knew he was arriving that day since he was already in Denmark for 2 weeks. He was out there doing workshops, shows, and a battle with bboy Sonic and his crew. Yup we're international baby. That's where it was at. So since a few U.S. Bboys cancelled we were in the need for some reinforcements. Especially somebody with power. Steve was the only power head in our squad. We didn't have anybody who can fly like those damn Koreans or actually anybody else out there. Freaking bboy pocket. Hahaha. I heard he's actually a dwarf and is 26. Lol. So yea that was a life changing experience too. I felt a lil out of my element cause the crowd was definitely not feeling us. I did my thing but I wasn't flying so....... You know. I'm going to get bigger moves and make my stuff more explosive. I felt like our bboys were more free spirited, creative, clean, and better. But it was a different kind of battle. As far as power heads I think steve was the man. The way he was getting in and out of power is his own way which I respect a lot. Everyone on the U.S. Team had their own and different style. To me we smacked everyone. That's how I felt when we was battling. I'll probably have to watch it again but that's how I felt. It was fun regardless of who won or not. Next year I'm definitely going. On the team or not. I recommend everyone to go as well. Believe me you will have a great time. Its a different experience. You must experience it yourself. So once again start to save your money and if it's only one jam you'll go to oversees this year, make sure it's this one.

I'm baaaack!
As you can see I am hosting the Octagon prelims for NYC. That will be the first of many more events that will help to fly out our best and up and coming bboys. Since I have been traveling around and meeting other promoters of big events and even small ones as well. My goal is to host as many events as possible that will help NYC bboys travel nationally and abroad. And I will also work on bringing some of the nastiest bboys that this game has to offer. Trust me by me traveling around the world, I have taught what I know and learned even more. I have become a better dancer because of it and would love for all the bboys in our scene to experience that as well. I'm not saying I'm the only one traveling. I'm not but everyone should. It's fun. And also if anybody does travel and documents it by taking pictures or video footage hit me up and I would love to put it up on this page. BBoy 4 Life is page about every bboy that lives and breathes it. So it's not only about me and my life. I'll hit you up real soon. iiiiiiight. Now I got to start training for the boston jam this weekend. Which I hope a lot of NYC heads are going. Mad crews from all over are going. And if you want to get at that one cat that might be there. This is your chance. Leeeeet's Go!!
