The Truth about Quest Crew on ABDC

[@Richardarbizo]

Dtrix would've went bald 10 years earlier if Quest had a Vegas residency

[@kyawmlwin]

🤣🤣🤣

💀💀💀

[@aydanbao4183]

The clips on Ryan's episodes makes this story so much better

[@ethansou]

They really do. He's such a cool dude.

[@GYSMelanie5]

A thousand percent

[@supratrd900]

Anthony Lee's shot at JLo. Remember Kinjaz lost to Swing Latino when everyone knows they shouldn't have.

[@hwsth859]

Kinjaz got screwed on that show for sure. Lost respect for JLo

[@supratrd900]

@@hwsth859 Why do you think WOD got cancel. It's because JLo rigged that show. Season 1 got Jabbawockeez, Super cr3w with Hong 10/Taisuke and Kinjaz yet she somehow ruin it. Swing Latino shouldn't even have made it that far.

[@BBOY_GAMMA34]

Time ?

[@HOusEoFsiERRa]

Ryan is such a great storyteller and simultaneously the most interesting and the most talented person I've ever seen.

[@jsungk5]

Thank you again, Ryan!!! Quest #1!!! Now.....where's Victor? 🤣🤣🤣

[@bethnichols2875]

Thank you for your donations in support of the channel. It is appreciated.

[@ryanimay]

hahaha dude thanks again, man.. Victor is in Sacramento just livin life low key

[@GYSMelanie5]

So awesome @jsungk5 thank you!!!!

[@poutsablue2346]

​@@ryanimayThank you for answering ❤

[@Sportsbikeguy]

I love how after like 15 years, people are still living their lives thinking "Where the fuck did Victor Kim go?!" Man, he was awesome!

[@GYSMelanie5]

Again, I'll say the flashbacks are so much fun to watch! Ryan, thank you!!!! Love your stories! That one move of pushing the person to the end of the line while flipping is iconic. Dtrix will always be Quest.

[@Tangsters]

The crazy shit is I’ve been a Jk fan since the beginning and always a a fan of ABDC. To have this all melt together is wild!

[@wokie.3204]

Me too. But the thing is I'm from Portugal, and ABDC also aired here and I loved it. Even more when I saw Kinjaz😢

[@xronxronx]

those clips of abdc brought back so many memories. you guys wer fricken awesome! I also remember that one female judge always saying "how evah!" lol! i used to watch this with my kids and bros and nephews telling them that "See Filipinos/Asians are bad ass at dancing" Growing up in LA, I knew this to be facts. Now the whole nation knew it because of you guys and the Jabbas.

[@DonnellG]

That little bit about D-Trix calling Ryan got me teary eyed 😂😂😂

[@eyeballs306]

Victor King.. wow hope he’s doing well. Ran into Steve at a Kogi truck and that brought back so many Quest Crew and ABDC memories.

[@ethansou]

I didn't realize that was Quest Crew in that Shkae it up episode. I found the joke so funny when I was younger.

[@Mr-pn2eh]

I remember that episode actually

[@Ranchula12]

Crazy to think I used to record ABDC every week to watch 😮 kinda miss that show

[@noshirt4516]

I remember watching ABDC Season 3. Every member of Quest Crew was truly a master of their art. It was such an incredible season, especially seeing Quest and Beat Freaks make it to the finals. In my opinion, it's still the best season. Quest Crew was the reason I got into b-boying in high school. Good times! :)

[@yakultum]

It's still so crazy to listen this histories... They were my rockstars at the time

[@kayleysinclair3548]

Watching quest crew on ABDC is what got me into dance, they were so cool

[@slumptydumpty3058]

POREOTICS!!!! I'm just waiting on Can to tell "the story." I always wondered what happened to the crew, and why they weren't in the Returning Champions Season.

[@IamBiONiC2]

It’s because they were already broken up due to them getting scammed by their old manager

[@ryanimay]

they decided it wasn’t in their interest to return; kinda like how we felt at first

[@UbePapi]

Same!!! Please make that happen

[@trish6834]

I wish I could go back to that time and watch abdc all over again for the first time

[@kuyaChrischan]

I had a pleasure of meeting both Ryan and D-Trix at a local bboy jam in 2008 in Redlands, 1 hour away from Los Angeles. This was before they showed up in ABDC. Pretty cool folks. This just brought me back memories.

[@ryanimay]

I remember that jam !!! I was cyphering and kicked myself in the face and got a horrible nose bleed 😂

[@yomamasan]

My core members of Quest growing up was Ryan, Aris, Hok, DTrix, Victor, Lydia, Brian, Feng and Andy

[@RevoZtuns]

Bruh the piano piece is so ICONIC. The backflip push at the end always blew my mind !!!

[@csruehle0507]

I love listening to Ryan talk. He’s such a great storyteller. I can feel everything he’s saying. What a guy!! ❤😘👏👏👏

[@campbellk9742]

Dude I love ABDC and Quest was foundational moment in me starting to dance. All love to yall. Thank you so much

[@gabrielh989]

This was one of my all time favorite shows, it's cool to see people talking about it again

[@babyhae02]

As a dance nerd, I was in awe when I first saw WOD performance. Imma go watch again now 😂

[@drasndy1]

I remember watching the finale back in University and we made a night of it. It was amazinggggg.....sending love from Uganda

[@Cooljoshua567]

I feel so vindicated that Ryan admits Quest saved their best shit for last because I've always said that the reason they won over Beat Freaks was because Beat Freaks blew their load too early during Week 5 and Week 6 whereas you could tell Quest still had more saved up and were waiting for the Final week to blow the world away. And they did.

[@ryanimay]

It’s exaaaactly what you were thinking 😂

[@Max25670]

That clip of Ryan talking to Zendaya on Shake it Up is trippin me out. It just recontextualizes everything.

[@BeNNNdude]

I was a bit of a dance nerd at the time, and D-Trix getting kicked out and then rejoining Quest really seemed like a huge deal back then!

[@rainieroquialda5380]

Why’d dtrix get kicked?

[@bethnichols2875]

@@rainieroquialda5380 Ryan explained in the video.

[@LMAAAAYOOO]

Dtrix getting kicked made me so mad a Quest hahaha. Oh lord I'm cringing

[@NicanorMercado]

After Beat Freaks did their "Freeze" and "Hot n Cold" numbers, everyone I knew was convinced they'd won but I was like "nah, Quest hasn't even pulled all their best stuff. Just wait." Hahaha.

[@thaloh]

I was convinced they would win too. But Quest went into hyperdrive and pulled out all the stops for the hip hop challenge performance. At that point, I knew they were gonna take it

[@xipham4101]

Was looking forward to this episode, finally!

[@annaszeto8081]

When Ryan mentioned the Gwen McCrae song and started singing it..yeah I know that song because was such a quest fan =)

[@rnbricky]

As a long time fan I was heartbroken when Quest and D-Trix went their separate ways especially when I saw that you were coming to perform in Australia. So when you guys unveiled him in your WOD 2014 set I remember feeling so hyped, seeing you guys kill it with members old and new. (Wow can't believe it's already been 10 years since then!)

[@oreodeplata922]

That WOD reunion blew my mind and I used as a pick me up everytime I felt down. Such a strong hit of dopamine to kickstart the system

[@NovNyar003]

That final performance of Quest, blew me away. Still one of the best dance choreo I've seen in my life.

[@drucelestial2539]

Getting to see of what the aftermath of ABDC and SYTYCD looks like really gives me a heartening vibe. Im a big quest crew fan and always will be

[@SirCumcisi0n]

when rayan tells a story i sit on the floor like its camp storytime

[@quackxhead]

Dtrix coming back is equivalent to Kinjaz bringing out Keone straight chills

[@cocx88]

Quest was ready with a 10 step program of how to win ABDC

[@pastense]

I might get flamed for this comment, but I really DGAF. So shout to the Quest Crew and Dtrix, they really did their thing. But even if they got in season 1 of ABDC, the Jabbaz would’ve still won it all. I’ve seen the dance culture in the NorCal scene since the early 90s, way waay before the Jabbaz even formed. And dancers from up here always had a strong element of spirituality. Bboying, at its core, is a spiritual practice. And so, the biggest difference I see in SoCal crews is that they strive for the highest in entertainment value. Which I have absolutely no problem with. That’s what these competitions are for right? But as soon as I saw the Jabbaz on that show, watching them throughout my 90s childhood, I knew off the gate they were taking it all the way to the end. Kendell’s passing especially elevated their spiritual force to the heavens. To this day, they remain unstoppable and have influenced EVERY SINGLE other crew across the globe.

[@CommenterTenma]

Beatfreaks was all over the dance industry, dancers for Justin Beiber, Chris Brown, Queen Stefani, JLo, Katy Perry and etc. ABDC was just another gig for them.

[@catbravo994]

I LOVED ABDC. I wish they would do this show again and I would love to see the reruns of this show (all seasons). D-trix was my favorite.

[@natalierae8557]

I had a crush on the group in shake it up!!! No idea it was ryan until this freaking moment LMAOOOOO SO COOL!!!!!

[@MindlessArianne]

Wtf Ryan was literally my childhood, how could I totally forget about them being on Shake It Up, wow

[@leamedina6956]

Lmao “Dance Nerds” I feel so attacked!!

[@bertleespeaks]

I’m a dancer too. Love Quest.

[@_Maxten]

I was sooo into dance at this time that i learned jabbawockeez choreo and can still do it to this day. and now its just old skill logged in like an uncle who can still kickflip. Like if i were to freestyle random moves will be from random bits of various routines i liked lmfao. Like the quest lovelockdown headtutting sequence right before hok does that finger puzzle lmao

[@Rockindaxmike]

Yeah they were super prepared. Beat Freaks was on them especially that magic theme T Pain song. That’s still the best performance of all that season but Quest always had an answer every week and finished super strong

[@alirae3663]

OrQuestra was amazing that I’ll never forget

[@equest943]

8:03 Heard the 2nd season the producers used that. Don't shoot the messenger, it's just what I heard back in the day.

[@whoisjai]

Seeing quest crew do the backflip push Got7 popularized just made everything click in my head. Is Jackson also friends with Ryan or just Anthony

[@Mr-pn2eh]

Probably

[@IchinShek]

I remember when the guys tried out for SYTYCD then was hype af when they showed up on ABDC. I think I remember seeing Hok trying to do ballroom dancing(?) lol those were the days~

[@alohaboy96]

We need a deep dive somewhere on every member of the crew, the roles they played, favorite memories, stuff like that. Maybe even bring them on for it. Maybe make it a short podcast series. I have been a huge Quest fan since the beginning and would love this content. Side note: I always thought Hok was the leader of the crew for some reason.

lol @14:33 I just noticed that Ryan does the remove the jacket move with his foot, kind of like Smac does. Except when Smac does it she can fling it across the room. 😂

[@xoidace]

It is great to see the progression of how things went. Orquestra is still sick to this day given the high risk high reward stunt off the piano. Even the whole market of dance youtube videos are in decline. A lot of it that I rewatch to this day whether its a full on production music video or the class videos watching 3 groups perform the same choreo. Shoutout to the Final Fantasy Tactics Quest crew vs Kinjaz video.

[@incorrectformat]

Anyone got a link to that dance with the dtrix reveal?

[@eekeey]

Look up quest crew world of dance 2014

[@dare_he_is]

These mfs had contingency plans for different scenarios like Batman. Holy shit, no wonder they were killin it every week Edit: I’ll never forget JC always having something to complain about “you guys are just posing”

I was in the audience for that last episode with the orquestra and I was rooting for the beat freaks when they did that it was undeniable that they won
