Points Corrected pt 1: "Immortal Creations" (Origins of Legwork, Threads, Freezes)

[dyzeesnd]

Part 1: "Immortal Creations"
Rare footage from the years 1999 to 2000 (maybe 2001?)
Showing many steps and moves that I (or my crew) created, and brought into the bboy game, which many bboys worldwide are now doing.
My intention is not that the bboys will stop doing them, but rather know where they came from, and atleast learn the names of these moves... because if you do these moves without knowing the name, history or where they came from and without flipping them, that's biting!
Many of these moves I can no longer do anymore, due to age, injuries, increase of weight and especially loss of flexibility.
Long after I retire, many or some of my moves, steps, concepts and techniques will live on through the future generations...
my immortal creations

Yo thats cool that you say you saw some of the moves done before. Perhaps it was done, but the point is that I never saw it done before, especially in the ways that I did it myself.

If you can post footage of other people who did it before me, that would be cool too.

I feel taht these moves that me, or my crew did, helped to inspire other peeps, and have become universal today.

for example, deadly mike did the shirt pull from the front. So I got inspired and pulled my shirt from the back.

So you say that if anybody does these moves/techs without knowing where they've come from, then they're a biter...

Bold statement, especially as when somebody mentions that he's seen some of the techs on this video way back, you suggest its cool because you didn't know of them being done before you at the time...

Not nickpicking (well maybe i am) but just think that as a lot of people look up to you and may take what you say as gospel, then perhaps you should be careful about making such broad statements.

On the plus side the video was cool

Much respect Dizzy. You mention the vhs era, which i was apart of. I started in 99, and the only footage i had was a Konkrete Jungle tape and you weren't in it but i developed a few of the same moves you show here like the whip kick and the leg o leg.

I got started by going to parties("raves"), and seeing people were still getting busy, so my footwork techs i developed dancing to jungle and techno and house. I actually stop doing the whipkick cause i didn't want to get into shit with people calling me a biter, so its something i only throwdown really around my homies.

So with that said, i would agree that you've probably directly and inadvertently influenced a lot of peoples footwork, but it was an added contribution. The flow of information is fast these days. One kid sees it the whole region knows.

nice video Dyzee! I'm from the same era homie. Ur style was definitely a big influence in shaping my style. Props!
