Bring the Ruckus!

Saturday was Bring the Ruckus; the craziest bboy jam I've ever been to. Looney Tunes Crew really knows how to thrown down a jam. The competition was intense! It was a 3 on 3 competition, and I couldn't even make it past preliminaries. It's a really good experience though. If you're interested in the jam, or the dance in general, search it up on youtube. Check out Strife.tv's channel, I believe videos are uploaded.  As crazy as the event was, I didn't even watch the actual competition. I think that Knuckleheads Cali won though. I spent around four hours cyphering (maybe more) instead.
For all those people who aren't bboys, you're probably asking "What's cyphering?". Well, here's my definition of a cypher.
Cypher: (sy-fer, noun) A cypher is a circle created by bboys. The dancers take turns dancing to the music, often mixed by a DJ, showing off what they got. Bboys might compete if challenged by another in the cypher, in which the oppositions take turns dancing uninteruppted until one decides to stop.

I tried to give a professional definition, although it's not the greatest, but it brings the point across. So it was that for hours, just grooving to the music. A guy called me out, I called out a guy (he was talking stuff on Facebook), and just more grooving. Overall, it's the most memorable event I've been to. Props to you, Looney Tunes.

Since we're on bboying, I might as well post a photo of the dance.

Yes, it's a shot of me. No, I didn't take the picture (it'd be amazing if I did). Karen helped me take a lot of shots when I was sessioning with Marcus and Jared (thanks, babyy!).  I love that Karen also takes photos. I usually don't get much pictures of myself because I'm usually the guy shooting photos. It's the first action shot I've posted, and hopefully there's more to come.


That's pretty much all I have to say now. But if you're a photographer or bboy (or both) from the Twin Cities, hit me up!
