March Braggin' Rites

One of my favorite NYC jams - hands down. This one was PACKED -- Bboy Rich & Amzilla took home the wins, but good stuff all round.

Yesterday was the National Breakin' League's inaugural NYC heat -- with the winners getting flown out to the National finals in Arizona in April. The jam was great -- with some amazing battles made even more hyped by the new point system -- which meant that both the crews and the crowd could see how the teams were matching up point for point after each round. Supreme Beingz took the win -- but good stuff all round.

First Braggin' Rites of 2010

This is one of my favorite nyc jams! 16 bboys are narrowed down to two who battle it out in a final stamina round. Frankie & Floor Phantom went 30 (!?!) rounds before the judges finally called the battle off. Crazy. Guest DJ, DJ Lean Rock, was amazing & DP One killed it as usual. Congrats to Frankie for the win. All round it was good stuff.

Wow, there's a lot of footage from Evolution 4 to sort through... so while I work through the edit here's my new favorite video still...

Bboy Fifo

Fifo and I froze our ASSES off on a rooftop in Greenpoint this afternoon -- we got all the cool skyline sunset shots, but this one is my favorite... a little nook on on the bridge between two roofs...
