[@WinstonCorneilius]

Me too! Good ol Limewire days!!

[@rubix0110]

Damn Ivan's so smooth. His toprock is the shit.

[@mchc715]

[@dimviesel]

[@Lyrikalskate]

I remember purchasing the video of these battles on vcr tapes… Damn I’m old

[@masteryas21]

Damn, Ivan got so much energy!!! when was that??? thx for the post. PeAcE.

[@deejones8552]

2018 let's get it!

[@JUSTMUSICPROMOTION]

HISTORICAL VIDEO of a challenge of two super powerful stimulating and original bboys, a lot of them have been handed down. DEFINITELY ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN HAVE SAVED IT in their folder.

[@MarqDaddy]

That was tight yo I mean both had great moves but Ivan was definitely gettin in that a whole. No disrespect got me beat home dog.

[@dnt82]

legendary battle i used to download it from napster !!!!

[@ehduhweredoh]

vhs was what old school was like.

[@Holyfiremikey]

Dude, this battle was from about 1998-1999. And it's 2009 now, that's nine to ten years. This video was not from 2006, because I used to watch this on napster back when I was in middle or high school, and I'm 24 now.

[@Hallofnugs]

Man, i started breaking in 2008.....it is now 2024....time flies.

[@jimmycala]

Does anyone know the name of the last song? (after the battle dance, 5:51)

[@ultravideo898]

We all want to know about that good hip hop song

[@TheJofrica]

Legendary battle

[@bboybreathless]

Ah man i remember watching this clip, but it never spurred me to trying out bboying, i was like 13 when i saw this clip....man i wish i started back then...

[@romulus_]

used to watch this every day back in high school..where's the time gone?

[@liquid1369]

why does'nt ivan battle anymore. like on the bc one or bboy world?

[@zokon53]

dam ivan killin it!! super clean tops an floor boogie

[@Holyfiremikey]

yes, it's one of his moves. And this was an old clip, if you watch one from maybe around 2001, he has the move down a lot better.

[@xXSixxxeRXx]

This was the first video of bboy i saw...after watching this i started bboying

[@user-jf7xd5xi2e]

Bboy IVAN is a monster with much control

[@JohnnyWarbux]

I love this joint Iron Monkey does where he polishes the ground with his shirt right, then he get's up and pretends to get ready to rock then "Slips" - That was just off the chain. Between 3:30 and 3:40. A little thing, but slick lol. I will still say this though, Ivan had more moves and more energy and remained solid through and through - Which is why dude takes this battle EASY.

[@b00too]

that ivan dude, gots alot of energy

[@bboyg]

the first battle i ever watched.

[@Holyfiremikey]

That "white dude" isn't even white, he's latin, and he's not being arrogant, he's being confident, a big part of bboying as a dance. You could do the most amazing moves, but if you look unconfident, it takes away from the essence of the dance.

[@DNice81atl]

Dope battle both were on point this night

[@mchc715]

He judges a lot of big name bboy competitions like Red Bull BC One 2008.

[@boogieboxxxbboy]

@CKFunkyDeejay i was referring to the song that starts at 5:50 but thanks anyways bro.

[@j.cz.3048]

The toprocks of ivan….. Even for today topnotch!!!

[@STEPASAUR]

the first tune is a classic mix by (i'll kick myself when i remember who, maybe one of big apple productions 12's) but it's mixing the guitar break of James Browns 'get up,get into it,get involved', the 'watch me now' and 'peace will come' bits from jimmy castor bunch 'it's just begun' and the beat from james Browns 'give it up turn it loose' i am the keeper of the sacred knowledge and i have spoken .....

[@allenivo]

Wasnt that shane sparks?

[@UrbanLegendZcreW]

this is the first battle i ever watch!! HEH

[@gilbertday1991]

yeah i used to watch it also around 2004 and 2005...and i know its age is longer than the time i saw it..from its video quality and how the people looks like in the video ..

[@Yabanci1]

Can someone tell me the song plays in 3.00 ?

[@sendejasgeorge]

ivan wit the classic double toe touch

[@placebo4yo]

yea he was. but he messes it up because thats all he can come up with.

[@x_Sotto]

[@Baha273]

I had liked Ivan and now continues to enjoy the same speed so it is in motion dance

[@zulubeat]

True 02 is new school, old school is 82

[@CKFunkyDeejay]

@boogieboxxxbboy oh my bad i didnt realize there was a song after the camera starts having a seizure. ill try to find out.

[@bobisg0d]

@emofilipino312 you mean "TRUE-SCHOOL" not old school, I say that because these guys do all the elements breakin, they toprock(or uprock if your on the west cost) footwork, then in to a power move and then freeze. What I'm saying is that B-boys like Ivan, crazylegs, ken swift, Mr. wiggles they all feel the music and move accordingly and they all had style. These guys became the best because they dance the way the breakin was originally created, by doing all the elements not just power moves.

[@bboybalance101]

hey guess what guys. Ivan is my bboy instructor for 6-7 years. he thought me every thing i know and i can do mostly everything in the video. im only thirteen also. Dear Ivan, Thank you. you think he was awesome in this vid? you should see him in class. i also battled iron monkey.......he won...but i was close. thumbs up if you think thats sick.

[@daltonbeebe]

man ivan looks like hes in fast foward

[@bboyzdravko]
