ALUMNI BATTLE!

Last Friday was a mini battle exhibition at Colombia University! It was actually hot. I thought the vibe would be different because there was a local dj spinning for the bboys and everyone else. Usually that doesn't turn out good. But I was feeling the music he was playing, MOST of the time. Yea sometimes during the battles the music was a lil off. But for the most part it was hot. The crowd was really receptive and you can tell they enjoyed themselves. There were some really heated battles. Homie JP who threw the event preselected 8 bboys to attend the battle for the chance to win $250.

Gravity!

So yea the event was mad hype. A lot of local hip hop groups doing their thing. Good quality judges such as Break Easy, Abstrak, and another dancer that was in a way affiliated with the hip hop dance groups but has been dancing for 15 years. Sorry I forgot your name.

I was suprised how good I did after coming from a week of just partying with very lil sleep. But I guess my home boy Frankie was right that since I didn't practice I was strong and well rested. But I didn't feel it until I heard the music and was battling. I had fun though. We had other bboys in the place like Qwik Step, Whorah, Bom 5, Aztec, Wiz, Invertebrate, Meen 187, and a few others. Good times. Too bad I missed the after party. I wonder how that went. Let me know JP. After the battle I chilled with my crew and celebrated for a lil bit. We ate some reeeeeeeeeaaal good Colombian food in Astoria and got ready for the next day. Battle of Shaolin and Gravity went to rep NYC in Virginia's the Break Room with bboys Chem, Nemesis, and Samo. Supreme Beings also went out there with their squad to battle and also support Ken Fury in his exhibition battle. Their crew consisted of Flave 1, Frankie, Joe Bananas, and Rockizm. Big ups!!!!
