Under Armour Spine Venom Challenge Results

I thought I'd update this at least. Atomic Goofball won one of the first place prizes. I actually thought he'd get the grand prize after that exponential growth of views on his video. He went from 2k to 40k in a few days. That was cool. Awesome work Goof!

Bboys in the Under Amour Spine Venom Challenge

Coming up on my feeds recently is a competition by Under Armour which sets out to endorse their new product, the Spine Venom. From a marketing point of view, I think this endeavour is the best strategy. Spending money on prizes instead of expensive commercials – and with the innovation of social media – is the best way to get people involved as well as spreading the word.

I know this blog is still very new and no one really likes to contribute anything, but I have quite a humble amount of viewers which I think could support this competition. This challenge is through invitation only and since some of our bboys are in the competition we need to support them! :)

What Grinds My Gears Collection | strifetv

Yesterday I was having a little rant about bgirls not taking their practice seriously. They just jam for the attention and nothing else. Then I remembered a certain video I watched sometime 3 years ago by strifetv called What Grinds my Gears! One of the videos had Nasty Ray complaining about girls not learning anything. These videos are hilarious! Check it.

Roxrite | Bboying is to dance

I consider Roxrite a modern bboy legend. After making this blog and reflecting on a lot of the things I've learned in the past, I realized I have nothing specific considering Roxrite, but I do know that out of all the bboys, I seem to take in the stuff he says a lot more. It's one of those moments, you know, you're listening and registering what's being said, but completely oblivious that the stuff said turns into those things you follow and say to others too from time to time.

So I just had to dig up one of his workshop videos. To me, the concept of dance is the most important. When you read some of my blogs, you'll get the gist that I tend to pick things apart and especially complain when I don't feel the "dance" aspect of bboying. Heh. Here's the vid (he says 'like' like a lot, oops now you're going to notice it too, my bad):

Why they hatin'? | Jay Park | Art Of Movement

That's a question I often wondered. Why are they, other bboys, hating on Jay Park? "Hate" may not be the right word but the crux of the question lies in the fact that Jay Park always seem to attract ridicule from other bboys. So where did it all begin?
