Cali-Tex vs Havikoro | STRIFE.TV | Historic Footage | FREESTYLE SESSION

[@omegaweapon116]

First breaking tape I ever owned. I got it on VHS at Trader's Village. At this time, I could be wrong, but Ruen pretty much had the best powermoves out of anyone.

[@AnythingAmazingAlex]

Watching old bboy footage makes me appreciate the bboy culture today and how it evolved from one level to another. These kinds of bboys are the teachers and leaders for our generation as well as the future generations!

[@strifetv]

Because it was back in 2000, and some of the names such as Caveman, Ruen, Tuffkid, Vietnam, Boy, paved way and invented moves for dancers now.

[@RomaraAhallow]

Rare to see a battle with so much energy and such positive attitudes toward each other at the same time, and holy fuck the sets....so many dope moves, so many good ideas!

[@juanescobedo8372]

I like this, reminds me of the good old days at YA practicing with Havikoro.

[@egortrubnikoff]

i had this on VHS)) great stuff. strife, are you gonna post that epic Style Elements vs Soul Control from FS San Diego (1999)? that would be sweet)

[@rafaelantoniopinaaguiar1199]

Best moment 10:22 Ruen baby airflare Innovation...Remember last time. And min 12:39 Caveman Shoulds Cannon tracks...Awesome.

[@BBoyRiffRaff]

I feel you man. I miss those days and the excite of anticipation because you never knew what was coming next. Neither did the dancer.

[@KBUK029]

i did have this video on videotape! i remember this battle dope!

[@jrsreviewsandhow2s390]

H town baby !!! I remember watching havikiro battles at Fitzgerald's in the Heights, Back in the late 90s . I did my b boying also and still do. 38 years old going strong.

[@fcardona84]

jr Martinez I envy you. 35 years old here and back pain and weight gain has won the battle. Was doing headspins until age of 31.

[@LenzMediaProductions]

[@alvysroom]

This is dope! Really inspiring me to dance right now.

[@diazmexicano123]

[@Thaboy1nda]

This is the era when SETS were short, sweet, and straight to the point, an you still HAD to STICK YOUR FREEZE, not flash it, like you can get away with today.

[@bboyscrush8811]

[@liveeightfive]

[@Yungcomics]

[@bboyflashny]

Caveman was decades ahead on his originality.

[@ericpadilla2454]

Man westcoast rockers had a njce sqaud. Energetic, tails and lil rock are all so dope!!

[@andresegooner]

[@hectorzuniga6658]

song at 6:26 anyone????

[@999search]

alvin cash keep on dancing

[@wikkkkk]

언제봐도 난리나는구먼...

[@Isseki_Nicho]

What Bboy Moy did at 8:22. Thesis does that lol

[@abztraktt6403]

Ruen was the MVP of FSS6

[@Gigabite108]

Havikoro was at strongest crew at this time.

[@matcha_media]

They use it in such different ways. Thesis would normall do that kind of drop to a flare or some power. I don't think Moy influenced it at least not in that particular move set

[@NatoRawk]

One of my favorite things about the early 2000's was "props for trying" lol.the over emphasis on execution has made everything so boring.somtimes you gotta crash to create.the other was bboys staying humble & giving props to the other crew if they did some truly next level shit.

[@SkateboardBOMD]

fss5, moy, 6airtracks... legend

[@artofgontea-artist5718]

True, But FSS 4 Benny Kimoto 7 Airflares

[@SideSwipe239]

agree!

[@BboyOath]

mad ill!!! dope dig

[@KidKnyte]

when everyone had baggy pants lol

[@Nookinizm]

Havikoro's bench ripped it!

[@aetheno]

TRUE INVENTORS!!

[@annahappygo]

The awkward moment when you realize that have been 12 years, for you too.

[@bobonejangles]

this is the first bboy video tape i ever saw!!

[@seymourglass26]

Except Thesis was like 9 when this was filmed. Did you not know Moy influenced a lot of cats or did you not know that a world-class bboy like Thesis knows his history?

[@albrecht4160]

Rythm Bugz/Rock Force!

[@abztraktt6403]

Cali/Tex was a damn CHEAT CODE

[@TheBruno281]

never thought i would see dirty on footage

[@hoanisantos1740]

That's break dancing at it's best freestyle session 6,and the final battle between havockoro from Texas and Cali tex a all-star boy from California and Texas and also tuff kid from Switzerland Basel city attack ,havockoro did very well against such a stacked crew, bboy's had more style an originality than now it's to main stream a little soft, an to much biting not much original moves ,don't get me wrong they can combo non stop an crew dance non stop these day's which they did in old day's . but it has lost a lot of that raw rivalry an attitude like you are going too war and it's a fight ,an a lot of passion in old school breakdancing you get it a little bit these days eg kidColumbia,pacpac,Lilou,robin,ECT.. .

[@_AV.LIFTS93]

marlon be killing it !

[@xubermanx]

woo H-town represent :D

[@Isseki_Nicho]

I didn't mean it in that sense. I look up to Moy and he influenced bboys like me. I made the first statement short but I was concluding that Thias was influenced by Moy which helped create the bboy he his today.

[@monkeyjugling]

that comment was goin somewhere till you said biting, thats a big no my friend...

[@ICU0H0H]

Damn Ruen wrecked shit and does Lil John age...

[@aRjayC28]

Mad flava!

[@styleheadbi]

Im curious why is his bboy name Vietnam? LOL

[@omegaweapon116]

Thanh L this might be dumb to respond at this point but I believe he's half Viet

[@abztraktt6403]

@@omegaweapon116 thats correct

[@WatchOut4Anoobis]

you came from(bboying that is) respect the roots and culture but, keep an open mind because without inovators then we are jsut a bunch of people doing the same stuff over n over n u gotta accept that bboying is gonna change throughout our life time and were gonan have to accept that

[@WatchOut4Anoobis]

[@monkeyjugling]

meanwhile in korea...

[@2ill1313]

THEN SO BE IT. WHY DO U WORRY ABOUT ME TYPING IN CAPS IF U WOULDNT WORRY ABOUT WAT " OTHER PPL " WOULD SAY ABOUT HOW U TYPE? CONTRADICTING URSELF?? SEEMS LIKE IT. ANYWAY, I DO AGREE THAT DEBATING ON THE NET IS POINTLESS. THATS WHY I WOULD RATHER CALL U OUT IN A CYPHER. - TRAJIK HABIT / FLOOR MADNESS CLIQUE

[@styleheadbi]

If so he should take the name America or Hitler or somethin not Vietnam LOL

[@WatchOut4Anoobis]

aha, people like you make me laugh why do you care what people think so much? you put a bunch of extra punctuation marks and capitalize your letters for what reason? whatever im not gonna fight with you on the internet about your views on bboying i know what i do and where im so your views frankly dont concern me.

[@aRjayC28]

Mad flava!
