The Australian who “ruined” Olympic breaking
Dear Blog Diary,
I’ll chime in on Raygun. (Both to the scene and the NARPs). You can always ask if you’re curious about my background in breaking. Been doing it 23 years, my crew is the first crew to ever exist, I’m old.
So, it is my belief that Ken Swift is the epitome of breaking. Whatever you want, Kenny has it and you kinda want it like Kenny. Tops, footwork, transitions, freezes, character, whatever. He embodies everything, the blueprint.
Frosty Freeze will forever mean more to me than Kenny. The main idea in breaking is, you have to be dynamic with finesse and do a fresh move and POW! You stand up and mean mug your opponent, you’re that fantastic.
Frosty decided to jump in the air, fall flat on his back, and the opponent is going to get burnt for it aka the "Suicide". It’s the exact opposite of what you’re supposed to do. Anyone can do it, it hurts, and it’s the biggest crash that you can do. In this, he changed the way you burn your opponent.
Now me, every single battle I’ve ever been in…the point was to prove that my peepee is bigger than my opponent’s. I throw a lot of dicks and I often do burns that imply that I have a huge peepee and my opponent has a small one.
Raygun – I do find it disgusting that some dumb fuck in Idaho can talk shit to her, don’t know shit, ain’t shit. Mostly because they lack understanding of the art, and anyone scolding her for breaking while white is an asshole…but hey that comes with competing in the fucking Olympics.
I appreciate the artistic attempt but she didn’t adhere to the #1 rule, BE FRESH. Look at Rawbzilla from Originality Stands Alone who was DECADES ahead of his time. His move called the Grinch where he crawls on the ground like in the movie. In essence, silly stuff…but FRESH.
Character is such a weapon. However, you want to do a move that is funny and then everyone laughs at your opponent…You don’t want to be the joke. Raygun did dumb shit for dumb shit sake and called it breaking, "expressing myself". I'm torn. She legit did her best with what she believes is fresh and now ridiculed globally. I feel for her, doesn't negate that she wack.
I never supported breaking in the olympics for many reasons. I support being yourself for many reasons. I do not support being a joke.
Never bring a ray gun to a squirt gun fight.
That's a joke.
(For those unaware, my breaking alias, is Squirt.)
