bboy tour +Easy Rock interview



I've been lucky to go on bboy Tour last month and I have been blessed to meet a lot of people

MONTREAL CITY

My trip started in Montreal for the jam BORN to SERVE

This jam was a Seventosmoke and a crew battle.
it was dope because it's the perfect balance between the bboy side and the civilian side (big audience). The first day was strickly for bboys raw jam on the floor with some cyphers and the second day was on stage in a cool theatre place that remind me of brixton academy.
Raekwon did a concert after the battles and i was really surprised that everybody stayed. It seems that there is still some place where elements stand together.
I had a dope moments with the organizer. He seems more and more to me that all the events look like their organiser. I have the feeling that i could describe the organizer personality just by seeing his event.
I also had dope moment with Fresh Format drinking beer and dancing in his System's living room

I m also honored that my "bboy stand" became the logo of that jam...means this pause is freshhhh
it was quite funny to see me on the floor of the event and on the trophy etc...











Then i was mad excited to go to Los Angeles for bboy Summit,
It's really impressive to see big LA, chill at Venice beach and walk on Hollywood Blvrd for a fuckin' european

I was told that i shouldn't expect so much from bboy summit when i told them last thing i remember bboy summit is crazy legs throwing a dick at the police in venice beach....many people told me things have changed so i was quite curious to check it out

Concerning the jam, the first day was dope in a car park with some graff, then inside in a tiny room. Dope wibe but too many interuption bullshit blahblah on the mic....i witness what could have been the best "beef" battle stoppped because
of no music for 5 minutes..then one of the guy walk on because there was no music...

The next day downtown at the park looked more like a picnic so i really love it...popping cypher were fressssssshhh
Everytime i see popping i wonder why i break...i definitively popp more when my body will be fucked up to break



The last but main day was not so good
To do a resume of bboy summit, there were dopest bboy on a soso jam...to many shows, music interuption for me, once you get in you're not allowed to go out...and they didn't sell food inside
I again saw a beeef battle that couldn't have been legendary to witness...but too much blahblah on the mic about sponsors, too many hiphop dance shows etc killed it and the beef battle disseapered
The biggest inspiration and sharing moment i had was chilling with nastyray and practicing with SKMZ...it seems nowadays that the best hiphop moments doesn't really happen in the jams anymore but outside or offside the jam


but i
met easy rock (one of my biggest inspiration). This guy rocked every cypher i checked with still mad flavour and funky style.I took the opportunity to interview him after having made my own star on hollywood blvrd.






Before going to London i went back to Montreal to catch wreck on the wall with some local dude and went on tagging missions...a bboy trip is not really a bboy trip if i can't paint

Then i went to London to chill with my crew and rep in the Cyphers at the UK champs
Beeing on a bboy week end with the some of the crew is allways dooope and as we are getting
older it doesn't happen everyweek so i was very happy we could do it.

I mainly chilled in the IBE room where music was pumping and there was a 20 minutes open cypher time every 2 hours...was really fresh even if i was expecting more people rocking the cypher....maybe too many people were keeping themselves for the competition.
I had great time and the wibe was like family wibe!
20 minutes cyphers at the time is cool but i miss the infinite cypher time were people after they have done their usual shit get really loose and really try new shit. or just get so loose that nobody even care of the rest or others opinions...

The next day at Brixton academy was how i describe it in my last post...
a lot of what i saw made me wanna quit dancing but thanks to some few dudes for the inspiration.

During the last meal i ate in London, i was introduced to a funny bboy game: somebody have to draw the head of a "famous"bboy then hide it then somebody do the body and hide it and then the last one do the legs...it ends up to make funny characters....here it is our art for the night
if you have nothing more to do, you can still try to guess which bboys are drawn
