You talked a lot using bboy jargon. I believe a lot of ppl didnt know what it actually means to: represent, battle, pass knowledge, rock steady crew

[@SwitchB]

They shoulda got Matt Kang 🤣😂

[@camuscat123]

The dance is lime falling down and bouncing back up.

[@BboynorthCo]

+Wendy Mcreynollds It really is like that. To me it's like a metaphor for everyone's struggle and overcoming. We fall down only to get back up again.

[@bboyqbunia608]
