There have been a flurry of video features being put online by us recently. Some informational, some entertaining, and some quite silly. I personally blame myself for the silliness of some of the videos. My mind wanders at times.
Someone told me that Fridays are the days where websites & blogs get the least amount of viewing traffic. Is that true? I’m posting this on a Thursday, nevertheless. In yo face rumors!
How many viewers have seen b-boy Neguin battle? Like many, I first saw him compete, on video, at Red Bull BC One last year. (watch Cloud vs Neguin here) Wow, this guy blew my mind. He has flips, fast footwork, power, and the ear to hit the music beat. Scary as he sounds, he was a very humble man in front of our Strife cameras during our interview. The interview was filmed at R-16 Korea, where he came in second place. Filmed and edited by our New Zealand correspondent, b-boy Benaza.
Don’t mind KBE, he likes to jump into interviews now & then, no matter if he is the main interviewer or not.
It just wouldn’t be right to interview the 2nd place winner, without interviewing the 1st place champion as well. The winner of the R-16 1v1 was B-boy JustDoIt from the Netherlands. Interviewed by MisLee, he explains his battle strategies and why it is more difficult competing against dancers of different styles.
My favorite quote from this interview has to be:
“He’s from Brazil, they do flips all day….but I flip, too,” with a big smile from JustDoIt.
By the way, I was told by MisLee that press (like us) are not allowed to post full battles from R-16 this year. Everyone has to wait for the DVD to come out.
Life at The Bboy Spot was part 4 of my series from their headquarters in Florida, following the staff of The Bboy Spot: Gina, Mex One, and Spen One. In this video, viewers get to see exactly what life is like working in the b-boy community: the difficulties, the challenges, the hours spent, and so forth.
I seriously loved making this video with Maresco. It’s so easy, it’s fun, and I do have a thing for amusing videos. For people that don’t know b-girl Maresco, she has a really dry sense of humor. However funny the video is, don’t tell her that she has huge arms. It’s the lighting that gave the impression of her super toned arms at the end. She even went the ways to make a personal statement on her Youtube channel here. Personally, I don’t really care what kind of arms a girl has. Although having toned arms does give an indication that one is in good shape, and who complains about that?
Maresco has more one minute specials coming in the near future, so look out for them!
it’s a bunny envelope opener!
THINGS THAT I THINK I THINK
–I think that learning another dance style is refreshing. I went to my first house dance class the other day at Six Step Studios. It was an amazing experience, and definitely broadens my dancing ability. It gave me ideas for moves I would have never thought of otherwise.
–I think I will not purchase StarCraft II until a few more months when I am more free. I got too much work right now, with real life and video projects. Last thing I need is an addictive game.
–I think everyone should go to United Styles 6, coming up in Boston in 1 1/2 weeks! I am excited to experience Boston for the first time.
–I don’t know how long this link will stay up, but I think you should go watch this 5 minute long trailer of the movie Thor.
