Crazy 2000s + Floor Gangz Interview

Practiced yesterday at the Gamblerz studio with Lee & Dyzee. I've been to the studio, but never for a practice. (I've always practiced at either TIP/Last4One/Rivers) But yo, practice was good. It was so damn intimidating, though, because the main practice room is small and you're kinda put on the spot when you go out. Especially since many of the Gamblerz guys have such good technical moves.
It's like:
- The End goes out with his crazy power
- Then Bruce Lee does some air flares
- Then Pop jumps in via jackhammers & continues to perform non-stabbing airbabies
- Then Sick does some crazy, unexplainable contortionist move
- Then you got some crazy Russian bboy (video above), who can do 23 rotations in his 2000s spin
- Then...I jump in with my dorky ass 8 step/3 step floorwork.
Haha...seriously, I felt like an idiot. I never had that feeling at TIP or Last4One, but damn... Dyzee and I were just on the sides, sitting there going, "nope, can't do that...or that...yeah, that, too." Ha, but it was all good. I'm friends with most of the guys, so it was cool. Except Heymi (bgirl JuceBaby) kept laughing at my facial expressions when I dance. :-o

Someone asked about the overwhelming appearance of foreign bboys practicing/training in Korea these days. My answer would be that yeah, it is true, however, they've always been to Korea, it's just not many people have documented this with non-battle footage. Well, not since me with Strife.tv
The video above is the first ever "official" Floor Gangz interview. I finished editing it yesterday; afterwords I felt so relieved, since it took me quite some time to do it, especially the subtitles. I have to say, this could be one of the funniest interview articles yet. It was all jokes with Fhiz's face; and I don't know what I was on when I decided to use Richard Gere's face. Haha...that was so random, as well as Darkwing Duck, and comparing Phoenix's afro style to old school Michael Jackson.
My idea for the video was to make the Floor Gangz guys look like approachable people, folks you would love to have a beer with. They are so much fun in real life, so why not transfer that into the interview? You can really see how well of a "family" they are.
Rest of the Day Plan:
- read up on CSS coding (for editing the Bboyworld blog layout)
- I know HTML, but don't know diddly-squat about CSS, unfortunately
- train at TIP studio
- film Virus & Ronin giving a talk about Korean bboy history
I am stressing out because I have so much to do, so many people to hang out with, more videos to take, before I leave Korea on November 5th. I don't want to leave!
