In the begninning i didnt have a teacher, but as I grew and really started appreciating the culture i seeked them out.

Matt (UDC - DC) Taught me to slow down my style and really listen to the music. I was only a year into this dance but he taught me the most important aspect of it, to be at one with the music and apply what I know to it.

Chad Money (Repstyles - PA) At jams i would always run into this guy and he always helped me with any and everything he could. A real inspiration and till this day I always look towards Rep with so much respect because of him. Taught me how to properly perform flares and most basic power.

Doom (ATD - VA) Taught me, in a nut shell, how to freestyle properly and how it can lead to new concepts and moves naturally. It is one of the things I still apply to my training till this day and have yet to have a full, complete set because of it. I mostly freestyle and put premade "comas" into my flow.

Full Clip (N. Squad - S. Korea) and Saw (R-Funkist - S. Korea)
Because of these guys I have found my style. They have taught me power transistions, freezes, abstract stacks, go down diversity, and so much i cant even put into words. I learn from these guys every time I watch them dance.

And of course my crew DMD, R Funkist, and NSquad as well as my first crew (now disbanded) Down Beat Rebelz. They are the closest thing to a family I have outside of my blood and I owe all my maturing in this dance to them. As well as all the ones before me who laid down the ground work for this amazing dance. Even though you havent influenced me directly like these guys, they hold an equal share in my development.

"...Just cool it guys and drop the attitudes. I wasn't at trick but I have friends that flew out to the event. All I can say is this type of stuff is happening all over the bboy scene and we need to just respect the floor, the crowd, the promoters and our rivals. Be passionate about the dance and leave the violence to the street life."
