Yesterday was my main man Phil Tang’s Birthday, whoop! So I made him a little video montage of his recent b-boying greatness, unfortunately I didn’t have time to upload it before we had to go out and have the best night ever with the b-boys!

So here it is a day late, or 364 days early…

Happy Birthday B-Boy Philthee

Last night town was absolutely dead, hardly anybody anywhere – it was freezing and there’s an abundance of snow everywhere! However, WE ARE THE PARTY, so we had an absolutely awesome night jamming where ever we went… some were even breaking on the street… in the slush and snow! Dedication or what!

Phil was of course killing it, busting out flares to the max and everyone else was repping hard. I even popped out a couple of front flips and everyone went mental, cause they’d never seen me do it before ha ha Phil started throwing down on the road while the traffic lights were on red, then the Police turned up and told us they’d seen us obstructing traffic on CCTV… Bruce’s response – “Yeah it was sick wasn’t it?! He was killing it!” hahaha.

Monday was also Aahid’s, Afro’s and Shane’s Birthday and if I’m right in thinking Jingle’s Birthday on Tuesday too? I might as well just say Happy Birthday to all the b-boys who’s Birthday it was recently, you’re all lovely and I hope you enjoyed yourselves!

Now I’ve got to go do some real work, so here’s your ‘quote’ for today…

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Philthee
Happy Birthday to you!

Seasons Greetings from everybody at ICameToDance.com, aka me.

Here’s a magical Christmas gift for you all to enjoy in fullscreen High Definition:

It seems a lot of clarity has been lost in compressing the video and adding a soundtrack. So, please watch it fullscreen in HD so you can see what’s going on

A quick note to express my happiness that Rage are Christmas No.1 in the UK – AWESOME! I’d love to hear Killing in the name on next years annoying Christmas album that’s played everywhere all through December!

Just to let you know I also finished a crazy bad ass design for a t-shirt recently, check it out:

Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year, why not Valentines, Easter, Birthday, Diwali, Hanukkah and anything else while I’m at it!

“Now you do what they told ya! Now you’re under control!”

Rage Against The Machine – Killing in the name

I recently received an email from Dave at TooMuchFlavour.co.uk letting me know about a fun new competition they’re running to win a pair of Asics SportStyle trainers and a bboying mat. These are the same trainers B-Boy Mouse was wearing at the UK B-Boy Champs and in the following Asics promo video…

Anyway, here are the details to win a pair of SportStyle Asics and breakdance mat. Quite a cool competition challenge I think, I might have to enter myself… I could do with some new kicks to train in!

Find Your Flavour and win a pair of ASICS SportStyle trainers and breakdance mat

Win a pair of trainers from ASICS SportStyle and one of the first ever breakdancing mats – start the year the freshest kicks by sending us your freshest pics!

To celebrate the launch of their SportStyle range, ASICS have created the first ever breakdancing mat. Put together with the help of award winning B-Boy Mouse, it is designed to teach novices the basic moves through simple, guided steps. One lucky entrant will be able to win one of these mats and pull off the toprock, sixstep and even the wakfreeze. The winner will also receive a pair of ASICS SportStyle trainers to practise new moves in true style.

How to win

Winning is simple – find your flavour and photograph it!

Started breaking in front of a local attraction? Dressed your dog in a tracksuit? Maybe you spotted something quirky, like funny graffiti or discovered a really funky record in your parent’s music collection.

If it’s got flavour, it has a chance of winning

Simply take your photo, ‘fan’ TooMuchFlavour on Facebook, then post your photo to the wall for a chance to win.

For further details, example photos and to watch a video of what happened when the ASICS SportStyle breakdancing mat took to the streets of London, go to http://toomuchflavour.co.uk/competition_entry.html

Ok, that’s all from Dave, back to me - they’re claiming its the first ever breakdancing mat. Not sure what they mean by that, cardboard and lino were used way back in the late 70′s… but I  remember being shown a hilarious video of Alfonso Ribeiro, the dude who played Carlton in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, releasing a similar product way back in the day (1985)!

That’s enough comedy for today. Remember to get taking your flavoursome photos to post to the TooMuchFlavour facebook fan page!

“And tell mum and dad it’s the safe way to break and pop. Not the things you shouldn’t try.”

Last night The Masterz Crew performed a showcase battle at The Shed Bar in Leeds and had an absolutely awesome time! The space could have been bigger, but we made do and everyone seemed to love it so happy times We stayed out incredibly late o’clock and danced more than your average male would ever do in their entire life. Hopefully I’ll have some watchable footage and photos to share with you lovely people soon, but that’s not why I’m writing today…

I stumbled upon this awesome stop-motion animation interactive YouTube video game a while ago. Batman and the Joker bboying :O You know online games don’t get much more fun than this! Unless you’re a mega geek and you prefer to play World of Warcraft 31 hours a day.

Check out the game first and then watch the ‘Making of Bboy Joker’ video below. Impressive stuff:

Check out those 1990′s ha ha!

While we’re on the subject of stop-motion animation I thought I’d dig out a couple of little treats for you. It has absolutely nothing to do with bboying, but here are 2 fun stop-motion animation videos, the first being about pollution and other environmental issues in Creature Comforts style created by myself and a couple of fellow Media Studies students back in the day when we were studying at AS level 3 or 4 years ago…

Save Our Seas

Secondly, here is a short animation created by a myself and some school friends on an animation course prior to making the above video. Prepare yourself for the amazement…

Funnnnny stuff! It’s inspired me to make another stop-motion animation, but then I also remember how incredibly looong it takes and just how frustrating it is. Back away, not today.

“Frustration is the compost from which the mushrooms of creativity grow.”

Let me know what you thought of our animations in a comment below
