How Ryan's First Dance Crew Began

[@ryanimay]

Thanks for the great response on my first OTC, guys.. I wanted to add as much context as possible so I hope you enjoyed the scratchy vintage footage😂

[@Xwed]

baby Ryan with a moustache already, cute 🥴 thanks for the visuals 👍👍

[@luhveth]

loved the footage/pics, its pretty sick to visually see the timeline of the story !!

[@skysthelimit780]

really really awesome footage and editing. There's something sweet and nostalgic about those times, even if in reality it wasn't all sunshine and roses. Thank you for sharing your story, looking forward to the rest of it!

[@daniellethornton]

For sure! It was great! Thank you for sharing this part of your life and going into a deep dive! :0) May God continue to bless you and your family Ryan😁♥

[@jasin95]

LOVED IT

[@TurtlesCast]

Ryan's footage made this so much better :)

[@jasin95]

I love 90s - early 2000s footage of literally anything

[@hawwndawg]

life seemed much sweeter and more vibrant for whatever reason

[@JustKiddingNews]

It truly was; that was the blessing of being aware of much less things in the world

[@SteveTerada]

OMG the pictures yall chose. I look so wack LOL great throwback.

[@jsungk5]

Omg hey Steve!!!!

[@GYSMelanie5]

You look great! Lol

[@andyepc]

STEEEEVE! Everyone looked wack looking back but you’re dope lol

[@bethnichols2875]

Wonderful to see you in the comments Steve. Would be cool if you were to come back on as a guest again.

[@KasheYan15]

It’s funny that Ryan would film everything so there’s so much footage to watch 😅

[@InsaineAZN23]

Yesss finally. Mr. Most interesting man in the world let’s go 🙌

[@Janet-D3]

Yes! I'm excited for Ryan's Out the Closet story. He seems like such a great friend, and I love his growth development from the stories he told in past videos.

[@HOusEoFsiERRa]

I've been highly anticipating Ryan's series. I love them all, but Ryan's my favorite Careful Boyz.

[@CuongChanster]

Love that there is so much footage and pictures of Ryan

[@ethansou]

This is going to be a good week. I love Ryan. He's a huge inspiration to me.

[@rynavarro]

Steve always looks so restless LOL he's always touching his face and moving around bro needs a stress ball

[@jaipark1817]

Or he can drink less energy drinks 😂

[@bethnichols2875]

It is because they agreed ahead of time that they would not crack jokes during these more serious episodes, this series. Steve is probably physically stopping himself from saying the jokes coming to mind in his head.

[@jayh6135]

It's the residual side effects from LUNA🤣

[@JustKiddingNews]

He’s channeling his absolute best behavior 😂

[@GYSMelanie5]

​@@jaipark1817yes this! Lol

[@aydanbao4183]

I remember watching abdc season 3 on tv, and seeing Ryan all the way now talking about how he got into dancing in the first place is so crazy 😅

[@matthewmedina1480]

The VHS footage from high school brings back so many good memories. Happy to witness your progression growing as an individual and becoming more self aware of your full potential. I always saw that “IT” factor, from the doing headpins with glow sticks for the high school talent show, to the huge softball sized elbow during the 2 on 2 with Mike Burn. That spark and magical talent that you were able to share with everyone. Glad that ‘level up badge’ was unlocked and excited to see what’s around the corner in your game of life. Such a pleasure to see it unfold.

[@Blue-dx4pt]

I usually just listen to Jknews in the background but I had to restart the video when I realize theres so many old footage inserted in the vid!!! ahhh *grabs popcorn*

[@necitaldan]

Same!

[@jennyong4753]

Same! ❤

[@ortiz-qs6zc]

Steve's "people gotta go to the bathroom" caught me off gaurd and made me so loud in the office. Thanks guys😂

[@jaguy4u2]

Both Ryan and Anthony are so interesting to me as a former dancer myself, hearing their thoughts and inner workings I found myself getting emotional. Ryan's creativity seems to be bursting out of his every pore..also loved him on : so you think you can dance 😊😁

[@runninggeese870]

Ryan dropping gold here "what you do is more important than how you feel about it"

[@ginogarcia8730]

I got goosebumps. I didn't realize it til now because I see you guys almost every day... we never got a true documentary for like Popin Pete or Medea Sirkas. This is just as inspiring as any other dance legend now... the growth of Ryanimay. The growth of art in a person's life. Y'all made us wanna dance. Y'all made us wanna feel. Thanks so much Ryan for putting your soul out to be seen.

[@JustKiddingNews]

would love to do dance idol docs on Medea, old school renegades, rock force, Plik Plok etc; maybe on a diff history channel someday

[@ginogarcia8730]

@@JustKiddingNews hell yeah, but for now - I (we) cherish this story. :))) With this one thread of the long tapestry of California dance, we get to see why it inspired so many of us around the world. And one of my favorite moments is Ryan saying he went to Sickstep to show up and then they were like "Ah nah, yeah, just join us bro."

[@MrJrcaesar1]

This is a hall of fame video, thanks for this!

[@IamBiONiC2]

This is the best one yet, the throwback clips made it more intimate/personal

[@DamnAwesome]

Damn all the footage and photos were seriously so cool! And DAMN Ryan was always mewing/mogging in every photo! Even the footage of him failing looked cool asf and damn it looks hard as hell to do, especially in that small space not hitting anything!

[@black4pienus]

I had to learn that in therapy; to let go of constantly thinking about what other people would think of me. I learned thinking in a different way and that we're all just humans. So what does it really matter what someone else thinks?

[@jsungk5]

Quest Crew Salute!!! 🫡

[@JustKiddingNews]

Wow thank you so much for that!!! :)

[@xoidace]

Those throwback videos are gold!

[@brandoMercs]

I’ll say it again, Ryan helped give life back to JK. He serves his flowers fr

[@marleny1177]

so excited for ryans series! love seeing the footage and pictures!

[@ninjakp9457]

Let's go my Indian guy!! Hahaha 😄😄😄 Edit: The footage is amazing dude!! 👏🏽👏🏽

[@GYSMelanie5]

I loved all the photos and videos! Ryan, I can't say enough great things about this man. He's crazy talented, and throughout this time, getting to know him and the boys, I consider him a friend. He is truly a stand-up guy in all he does.

[@niimahrabiu5815]

Ryan’s idea of jokes are just too extreme playing with cars dancing on busy roads .. that’s why he has all those crazy near death stories 😅😂

[@ryanimay]

I might attract that 😂

[@amaurysthatguy7464]

This is now one of my favorite series from JK of all time.

[@zeeya.industries]

I love these episodes and have been excited for Ryans story mainly because for me growing up here in Australia. I would randomly see Ryan and his friends on tv or old viral dance/stunt videos.

[@Mr-pn2eh]

Plus ryan is now dating a ginger aussie

[@ryanimay]

Wow no way !

[@scooby5nacks]

It’s crazy to see the life parallels to having homies in dance crews (Nonstop -Oxnard). Watching it go from high school dance comps to collegiate then beyond. It is surreal to witness in real time through it all. Ryan should be more proud during these times, as the people watching couldn’t be more proud. Salute to you sir 🫡

[@sendxnoodles]

Those footage could cost a lot hahahaha. Rare footage man. How were you able to keep them Ryan?! That's amazing.

[@JustKiddingNews]

I was obsessed with filming in high school with my camcorder lol

“Lore dump” is such a good series idea 😂

[@andyepc]

This was awesome to watch. Especially with so much old footage. Good shit Ryan!👏

[@bethnichols2875]

Love learning something new about the guys through this series. Didn't realize among Ryan's many talents/skills, he was also an original vlogger/film maker/editor and a stuntman/physical comedian. Thank you for sharing your story and footage with us, Ryan. It is appreciated.

[@KevonialJemonathoy]

I agree! This episode was really inspiring! Just wish the girls were here to make the episode a little bit better. Great episode though.

[@bethnichols2875]

@@KevonialJemonathoy Don't start. We have been over this repeatedly on why the girls are no longer on the show. They are happy doing their own things.

[@cynn_thor]

Been waiting for this guy!

[@rwen1438]

You are amazing Ryan. I am amazed by your talent and humbleness. Keep inspiring and making us laugh!

[@gh0stm0nst3r6]

Great time. We all used to meet up at random North Hollywood apartments and have dance battles/parties whenever somebody leveled up. Step Up times were crazy fun in Hollywood

[@dotwavv_json]

Loved this!

"I think Ryan has a hidden agenda........"

[@TheTinyOrc]

That commercial interruption made me almost punch the screen.

[@JD_xcvi]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one, I can understand the ad deals sponsors etc but they kind of throw off the whole video

[@TheTinyOrc]

@@JD_xcvi Ryan’s voice was so soothing that the commercial break made me go Wtdjekebrmdlalbdnfmrlx

Steve has literally said part of the reason for this series is trying to get ad read breaks.

Shout-out to past Ryan for deciding to document his life and making the first part of his segment that much better.

[@kissthepeter]

This was great! I wanna see the full footage of back in the day Ryan!

[@xxldeuce]

I love this series. Love Bart but we've heard all his stuff over and over (as a JK fan forever) but the other guys so far have been super interesting and stuff you find out that never came out during JK news or shows. LOVE IT!

[@wcthao]

To hear Steve say 6 step, he’s a lowkey dancer 😂

[@perlaescamilla267]

Ahh hell nah Ryan was one of those kids that moaned in class 😩 (Jkjk we all love him) 2:32

Yay I was excited for Ryan's! He was my brother's number one bboy inspiration and we've both been fans for so long. My bro wanted to be him so bad he made Ryan his profile picture on Gaia Online and MySpace and catfished a girl pretending to be him LOL

Sooooo, You're telling me that Ryan has personal footage from 1997 on some foreshadowing type shit? Wow

[@ninjaml1011]

2:08 damn Ryan was Channing Tatum 21 jump street before it even came out. WILD

[@randizzlefox]

Having some experience as a dancer myself, I really gravitate to both Ryan and Anthony the most out of the careful boys. I really enjoyed Anthony’s series and now I’m really looking forward to Ryan’s. The old school footage is very nostalgic of a much simpler time in life. Thanks for including it @ryanimay. Your hair was so spikey in the green chile shirt, it could have done some serious damage and probably stabbed someone. 😂 but that was the style back then and I’m guilty of having that kind of hairstyle too.

[@kimmie5475]

Hopefully Ryan’s Out of the Closet episodes don’t end with someone dying!!

[@ryanimay]

ME

[@drivenbythechills]

Lol these boys don't care, episodes were getting gay-er and gay-er only from a humour stand point of course but now calling your segment "out of the closet" xDD i laughed so hard Bro it's amazing he got all that footage tho, i love Ryan man, loved every ABDC season, Quest & SuperCrew were my favorite for the breaking aspect of it. Rly nice to see footage of him early on & see that even the guy who you think his so confident within himself now was the opposite before.

[@KevonialJemonathoy]

This reminds me of the mighty ducks.

[@KaiCameron]

Ryan kinda downplayed that Vibe win. For the nondancers, getting last at a Prelude and then winning Vibe with the same set is the dance equivalent to losing to your local High School JV basketball team in September and then going on to win the NBA championship in June. lol guaranteed, that’ll never happen again in dance community history.

[@ryanimay]

haha that’s a really good comparison actually 😂
