Last 4 One x Canon D | Zero Nine

This is a throwback! I guess it is kind of funny to admit I was inspired by a Korean commercial but when it’s this awesome, I won’t even deny it. When I first saw the clip I was already into breaking but what it did for me was it made me appreciate the value of listening to the music and redefine my concept of ‘culture’.

This video became something like an unintentional inspiration and my keepsake of days when I first felt the passion of breaking. It was a trove of valuable lessons both physically and mentally. Zero Nine displayed some fine qualities and abilities as a bboy, but the video as a whole comprised a bigger message which I felt first and understood later.

Biting in Bboying | Aby & Ness

Biting is considered a huge problem in the breaking scene but I think a lot of people misunderstand what ‘biting’ really is. I admit, when I come across a pretty awesome move which I had just seen some bboy do, I’d copy it. I’d copy off videos, copy off youtube, copy off other bboys and bgirls, and people call it a bite. Heck, during practice today I guess I was ‘biting’. There is such a huge stigma surrounding the topic that I find myself feeling guilty simply by trying to learn a particular move. I feel this kind of stigma is necessary, but also needs clarification.

Aby and Ness below enlightened me on this issue, and hopefully they will enlighten you too.
