Shifting Possibilities - Bboy Piecez

Piecez's passion for dance led him to a potentially career ending injury.

Despite what doctors said, Piecez still pushes the limits of what is possible as a Bboy.

Piecez is living proof that we have the power to shift what's possible.

thanks for the support. i have fuzed vertebrates in my neck. vertebrate 4, 5 and 6. my doctor said i had the neck of a 70 year old at 18. i stopped dancing after i felt tingling in my arms and some weakness in my left side. i stopped for 3 years. i met a dude bboy lazylegz who inspired me to keep dancing and re-invent my style. no more spinning on my head but that wont' stop me :)

@unitycharity Hey man, this is sorta scaring me from headspinning, is there a possible way to prevent this sort of injury?

[tkvo911]

This video means a lot to me because I was told that I had to quit bboying or i might break my wrists after that I became so depressed but I still just couldn't quit so I saw this and it made me have motiviation in myself and to keep on breaking no matter what happens.
