Back to Point Zero

Yo,

The scene has been changing a lot in EUROPE the last months....i don't know if it is the fact that i was not here in 7 months and i just see it with a new eyes now

But it seems that we're back to Point Zero

In the begining and till about 6-7 year before we were only a few to jam in the cypher during competitions. The know who they are but it was really rare...mot of the bboys were here to win the competitions an wait for the host to scream their name to go and dance (maybe there were when we were lucky warm up cypher for the people that were about to dance the next battle)

Then came the furious year of "it's cool to cypher" with some shirts like "Real bboys dance in the circles" & the creations of crew having the terms Cypher in it and jams too... and Cyphers became really crowded of people that start liking it and with some people that wanted to be seen in the cyphers for their "real bboy" credibility. It's at this time that i always choose to dance in the CYpher B (the chill one where nobody as nothing serious to prove) than Cypher A (the angry one where people finnish uprocking because the enter at the same time as another dude)

Since i came back i noticed that we're back to point zero....people now again concentrate their energy for the competitions and cyphers are almost again like before....the same bboys enjoying dancing while some people keep themselves for the competitions. Now the only circles are warm up circles...where some people stay 5 minutes before they compete

I think the scene is about to change drastically in the next 2 years....it looks like there is 2 paths now. "TOUR A" A big Highway to The Wolrd of Competitions with big price money and people wanting to win, travel for free, practicing a lots of routines, beeing bboy stars and earn a life of competitions .....and a sinuous small street with some people that just wanna jam and beeing in a good vibe to feel the desire of dancing.

TOUR A will be allmost like a sport with judging systhem that give points to dancers (oups...it's not even the future..it's allready on)

TOUR B will be some rare jams where the same people gather and chill and dance and maybe barbecue...

I know my picture of the whole scene is pretty dark...but i have some solutions
