[@seymourglass26]

Crazy battle. They both keep improving so much.

[@nappydot]

I'm all for Roland. Much respect for the legend.

[@iTzS14]

was watching this in class and its so hard to contain myself from yelling woooooo!

[@BR1ANwillDESTROY]

hella good battle! both bboys did hella good! Inspired.

[@ConDiliumtious]

wow. Roland. came to play this day

[@Tonyooo35]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

[@Igni_kybalion]

I tripped at work on this. everyone now thinks i'm crazy. good battle

[@koreaindahou]

Is Roland ronnie's evil cousin?

[@chrisnguyen5922]

if i'm not mistaken, Roland is ethnically hispanic, while Ronnie is Filipino.

[@QUAKECITYROCKER]

Chris Nguyen Roland is Filipino too

[@maiastraa]

Hispanic, south east asians. looks height built. Everything pretty much similar

[@Fabregas200788]

that was so fucking dope!

[@HTCmighty808]

Roland was tired as fck lols Thesis was just on it :) Great battle ^_____^

[@crazyshizyo]

lol @ "you'll never remember this but, you were there!" haha

[@lilaznboi93]

Scare tactics brought me here.

[@ConDiliumtious]

@AstrayChronicle naw i stand by threading is footwork. like saying a 6 step is footwork and doing it over and over again won't get you passed the pre-lims either. but threading is still footwork. threading works for every component of bboying. but it can be recognized as footwork. its not like thesis doesn't thread 60% of the time like Roland Bluntz does.

[@iamtheeast]

fresh battle. been trying to find out the name of the 2nd song for awhile. can anyone help?

[@BboyShoGun11]

there are no boundaries to whatever categorie you put a move into. a real bboy doesnt care if its footwork, thread, trick. if it works then work it! dayum guys stop being such E-Boys!

[@CassieVybe]

was roland in slow motion or was it jus me

[@cgtigrad]

"lean back!!...lean back!" lol.. Thesis rocked the shit out em!

[@TWENTY2CAL]

@AllTooNasty then wat is it?

[@NyctNyct]

@ConDiliumtious LOL. I've seen a Bboy do constant threads in a footwork contest. He never made it out of the prelims. Threads isn't footwork or it wouldn't be recognized as a different entity. You can use it in your footwork but to call threads footwork is wrong.

[@coustica]

why wasn't it Thesis vs Mig 187!! Why!!!!

[@DTN1029]

@MrSpoonman12 you kno ur talking to ATN right? o_o

[@NyctNyct]

@ConDiliumtious You should talk to a footwork judge. If we're talking about a footwork contest, repeating moves will get you knocked out. I don't see what you're trying to establish. The threading Bboy I was referring too used different threads throughout. As soon as he started pulling out threads the MC right away called him out by saying that's not footwork. Hell even the crowd said that. You can add a thread into a step like a threaded 7. But to use them alone is not footwork.

[@lilkwan15]

What kind of camera is this?

[@BR1ANwillDESTROY]

@db7987 agreed! but im starting to get annoyed now because originality isnt original any more if you notice! but respect to these bboys originators of there style.

[@gianpenaloza9925]

Thesis took this without a doubt with that last set.

[@milanomari7102]

I realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released movies online?

[@ConDiliumtious]

@AstrayChronicle well i never said threading alone. coz threading isnt footwork. but in footwork its counted. and why do you think roland is well known and known as the inventor of a style. he does threading does that mean he's not good? the bboy scene is changing and becoming more innovative. weird things become things nowadays

[@ConDiliumtious]

@flipsoulja123 he did have footwork. threading is still footwork.

[@layo1er]

I seen some Paranoid Android influenced sets by Thesis or maybe its just me xD

[@Fabregas200788]

same crew man, same crew

[@stevenaguilera9202]

@@Fabregas200788 Way before that, they're both from Tuscon and P.A. picked up Thesis when he was REALLY young and trained him like a Marine.

[@HydrostaticsZ]

roland was pretty unique!

[@davidpst]

footwork is footwork, threading i threading , simple yes ?

[@KillaBlackSheep]

Not one person in the crowd even bobbing their heads to the music. Everyones just clapping..

[@Last.samurai-]

Thesis got him

[@Last.samurai-]

Ronald has a weird style man

[@lobzter]

Big fan of both, but Roland's stamina got to him.

[@DannMann7]

Thesis , RIPPED HIM APART.

[@Kenjips3]

PA goes in his crew its obvious they them some style -.- lol.....

[@bahpants]

for the quality of the bboys the dj could have dropped something more hype then apache, dope battle non the less

[@M2theIdget726]

Roland wasn't very cocky towards Thesis...unlike most of the other times that I see him battling

[@MrBreakYoFace]

@Hozzzae LOL

[@poylovezaza]

Ray 619

[@NyctNyct]

@ConDiliumtious You said threading is still footwork. Now you say threading isn't footwork. If you're dumb enough to pull out stuff like 2:09 when Roland steps on his hand during a footwork battle you'll get knocked. Anything that isn't clearly a part of a footwork step will not be counted. In a footwork contest you can do whatever as long as it transitions into footwork. And really there is not a lot of footwork moves that have gone together with threads. Often it is clearly a thread.

[@pspnichol]

@bahpants the fck u talking about, apache is a hype ass track

[@RocZide234]

thesis the tricks masters!

[@breakingbeatz]

@bumblehead321 That's called being original.

[@Last.samurai-]

@breakingbeatz and who said he wasn't? No ones hating

[@pikaparka1]

Threading is a trick in footwork..not actual footwork..

[@SHONSL]

roland too many bluntz

[@flipsoulja123]

roland no uprock and foot work LMAO!

[@nonskiwun]

tired as*

[@marcusnunez8763]

Original.

[@MrSpoonman12]

@AllTooNasty look bro, i know you're a fucking dope bboy. i've heard of battle born and dope shit at the boty. you also are an inspiration to one of my friends who i practice with. nonetheless dude, you dont fucking define bboys by vocabulary. maybe at a jam we'll meet each other in a cypher but honestly you would smoke me. just dont automatically make rules on the street what vocab to use and what vocab you shouldnt. imo.

[@sanmarihua]

Roland is good but Thesis is better..

[@zeroeman]

ROLANDS NASTY...

[@MrSpoonman12]

@AllTooNasty lolol wtf? you dont define real bboys by vocabulary.. go practice some more!
