Quest Apology To Bboy World....

[dtrix]

to all bboys and bgirls

.... my name is D-trix from Quest and we are currently on a show called "America's best dance crew".... Myself and the rest of Quest would like to apologize to all the bboys/bgirls and creators of the gimmick we had performed last week on the show!!!... I can promise you all that we had no idea that some one else had thought and performed this same gimmick long ago!... Here we thought we were being all creative and then the morning after the showed had aired... people posted a clip from youtube saying "Quest bit this move"... and it was footage from Project Seoul doing the same gimmick in uk champs 2002!!... at this point our whole crew was frozen and we were all ashamed... We had no intention of stealing ideas and especially accepting credit for it!!... It is totally our fault for not doing our research!! this incident has heavily affected us since we normally pride ourselves in being original and creative. Ive personally been in the bboy scene for many years.. entered many jams.. watched tons of footage.. and its unbeleiveable how something like this could escape my attention!!!... we hope most of you can believe that things like this do happen by total coincidence, but Quest will make absolutely sure to prevent it from happening again. "not knowing" is not an excuse, and we do not intend on ever using the gimmick again, out of respect to those who have done it before us.

I'm not even going to say anything ...but this is why I have been saying it all along... ABDC is wack!... every true bboy should know who created what moves & signatures in our dance... omg that's like biting that needs to be admitted not denied...

honestly? I don't think you owe anyone anything for using that idea. I can guarantee you that even if project seoul was the first to use it in bboying, that illusion itself (the idea of wearing pants/shoes on your arms, and shirt/hands on your feet) was thought up before 2002. So technically is Project Seoul biting? No, they were just being creative, like you guys. It's plain that moves/ideas will get recycled, not just in bboying, but in EVERYTHING. it will only get increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to stay 100% original as time progresses. i mean, it's great if you strive to do that, but don't beat yourself up too much if you find out you didn't.

pz and good luck.
