[Vincent20Manu]

[dnasty76]

damn this shit takes me back!!!

[luckykennyboy]

I wanna see bboy kill or bboy the end in this :D

[kidsurface]

@luckykennyboy

You got to understand this is footage from 1997. Style Elements and Rock Force are two crews that helped inspire b-boys internationally. This was before Korean b-boys blew up.

[Odori73]

Old school battle really!?! Real Bboying was not being done back then, great Air moves, great creativity sometimes! But, to be honest the older cats that knew what was right and wrong should have help guide that shit to be clean, not sloppy! Nothing wrong with pushing boundaries the correct way!

Ziggy TBB/Starchild La Rock

[IGenius1I]

First battle I had ever seen. Still my favorite to this day. 

[shevegen]

legendary old school battle

really loved this nice upload

[Ibalon2012]

was this at Maritime Hall after the Hip Hop in the Park thrown by AL Aquino??

[adr3nalize]

Definitely a Classic Battle!

This was a special time in cali as far as breaking goes, no internet so kids were really creative with their moves. Real battles as well, dudes left it all on the floor, now days its about getting the money and getting your battle on youtube... props to everyone who was part of this movement (I was in HS)

[DopeNotHype]

Anybody knows FIRST SONG name?

Please!

[likewyz2]

yep, it's ya boy from sac lol. what's going on man? see you kickin ass in kickboxing

[kashdollaz916]

I do... Stuntman was original!!!

[nograviti]

he had no moves tho, no moves

He was always a third rate remind to me.... LOL

[likewyz2]

Gerald... I know a dude named Gerald who was one of the best in the world at one time. I'm not sure if it's the same guy but judging from the footage I'd like to think so. I also know a guy named Tobias, lived in Sacramento, wonder if that's the same guy as well. This video goes hard regardless

[rexraym]

LOL I SECOND THAT! Especially the flare-90-flare and the Power Move battles! Back when we called it breakin instead of b-boyin and flare instead of windmills

[stashcode]

BBoy Gerald! Jea! Hope everything is good with you homie! Classic battle. Wasnt Miah in this one?

[Cor0na]

bboying was more "real" back then. Like it was a big deal more about respect underground and among breakdance community.

[SquarezRS]
