Man is there anyone left from these crews that wanna battle? Please let me know, this is "Pretty Boy Roy" from JAM CITY TEAM, now known as SKILLROY of ROCK STEADY CREW.
I'll battle you in Popping, Locking or Breaking. There's got to be someone left out there who still represents from back in the days... All for the love of the dance. Peace to all the Hawaii Crews. =)
WOW!! I had as much fun reading these wonderful comments as I did watching the video. Even though it's mostly pictures I can IMAGINE how good they all got down. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing these and keeping these dances alive!!!
Been loving them since 1978 and still going!! :-) I'm going to share this.
yo wassup Jesse... this is 'LittleJohn"... I'm the one who made this total control video... lol. long time no see brah... how's your brother Petey doin.. tell him I said Hi.
I went to school w/these guys (although they were older than me) but the dance group that drove me WILD and I was so obsessed with.........was FOOT ROCK BUNCH!!
i agree i feel that foot rock had the most style,i think they were the two brothers mike and paul,donovon,evan,jimmy,byron,baltazar,and roddy casperson,my movie back then was beat street when the bronx rockers battled the new york city breakers @the roxy.....peace to one and all -dj blaze1- in da house aloha......
Can't tell you how many times we battled them! Cilly's was the warzone. And it was a great time time be alive and dancin' Mike and his crew were the Bomb!
Great to see that! Thanks to my cuz Jesse for showing me this great video, it brought back alot of great memories!
Stay strong all you OG dancers. Much respect to Mike and the Total Control.
much respect to you too " thriller J".. yeah... I remember those times we use to always battle at cilly's.. those were the awesome days... you use to kick ass on the dance floor... all my aloha to you brah..
Remember Shelley & Dino from Silver Lockers? If u haven't seen her page on MYSPACE yet, u can find her under Shelley or just search CHRISTINE S. then you'll find her on my Top 40from my profile which is Christine S. She's got the most pictures of EVERYBODY!!! There must have been a reunion or some get together cuz I see recent group pics.....(Chan looks the frickn' same..LOL) I even found Roddy Casperson (doesn't even look like him @ all) Well ~ TTYL
Sorry, I was trying to reply to jmor56...=D By the way, (please refresh my memory) who was in Bad Reputation & Imperial Wizards? How about the members of ur crew? I was part of the regulars @ Cilly's (Lil John was my boyfriend @ the time) I MUST have known you:)
Courtesy of Harold Enanoria...Bad reputation was Lloyd Nelmita, Vince Beron, Edwin, me (Harold) in the later part, and Imperial wizards was, Milton Gasper, Trick, Fatu
Howzit Jesse! It's Alex! Oh yes and Cilly's - I was there every week!
Hi Chris,
I was with the Infinitive Babes/Infinitive Boys Crew(IB) - we came later but some of the guys were in other crews before - Harold, Slick, Shaunski from Bomb Squad, Kamaile from Eclipse? - and Ricky D, EZ and Cory/G-man...
Wow! I too wanted to go to the stadium sooo bad but couldn't. But I DID go the the one at the Waikiki Shell - when they played Planet Rock a million times before it began. I remember listening to Johnny's radio show, etc. BTW, if anyone is in touch w/ Fatu Afoa - I thought he had video of the Popping Convention!
By the way, (please refresh my memory) who was in Bad Reputation & Imperial Wizards? How about the members of ur crew? I was part of the regulars @ Cilly's (Lil John was my boyfriend @ the time) I MUST have known you:)
Convention, that was a memorable day with Hawaii's finest Popping Crews(Mechanical Devices, Silver Lockers, Eclipse, Bad Reputation, Bits & Pieces, Etc...
Ho, you remember! YOU & YOUR comments bringing back memories ~ sick yeah never have camcorder like nowdays! Guy & lil' John was in Little Popperoos. LJ is in the Phillipines & Fernando is with me (he doesn't dance anymore ~ only when he's by himself in front of the mirror..haha) Did you see LJ fooling around with some dance moves on my page?
Mechanical Devices Won the competition...Lot of good groups: Silver Lockers, Bits and Pieces, Eclipse,Bad Reputation, etc....Popping
Caught on first in Hawaii, then B-Boying followed...Funny considering B-Boying started before popping. I remember seeing Mike Dupio on Professor Fun & Filipino Fiesta. Is anybody still dancing these days????
I wish I went, I only remember that I wanted to go sooooooo bad, but can't remember the reason why I wasn't able to...lol
Fernando talks about his dancing days ALL the time........Funny cuz I was LJ's girlfriend & Fernando was with my friend Tiffany, we'd hang out together....I would've never in my wildest dreams think that I'd end up with Fernando...lol....WE always talk about those days...so very funny!!!
This is the OG's from Hawaii. Little John, Mike Dupio, Fernando, Jake. DAMN brings back a lot of memories. Now if we can get Fernando and Jake to start dancing again....and Judy & Kathy =). (Total Control / Mechanical Devices from Hawaii.)
Thought bits n Pieces were good at the Aloha stadium poppin convention. What year was it 198????
