SKB are 2007 Australian Bboy Champions

August 13th 2007 13:40
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've done more apologising on my other blog. The highlight of my last few weeks was trekkjing down south and enduring the cold Melbourne weather, fighting off turtle-necked dawdlers on my way to the Melbourne Music Academy to watch my boys SKB win the 2007 Australian Bboy Championships.

Let me tell you something that people, whether they're in the bboy scene in Australia or not, may or may not realise, but these guys have been around as a crew for 8 years or so, without having won a national competition after all those years. Until last weekend.

It's not that they're not good - they're awesome. As a crew they're tight, they're solid, probably moreso than any other in Australia because they've stuck together for so long and are bestfriends above all else. Not to mention their youngest member is only 15 years old. What was so evident with some other crews was that they were more like a bunch of individuals put together to battle. And I think that's what influenced the judges' decision. It was a real anti-climax, when announcing the winners, and if the footage gets bootlegged and posted on Youtube, I'll post it to show you what I mean.

These guys have always been the underdogs. A group of Filipino guys from the outer western suburbs of Sydney who are so laid-back they were never really taken seriously in the scene.

SKB (Street Kulture Breakers) from Sydney, Winners of the 2007 Australian Bboy Championships

Anyways, the battles were all hype, it's about time these guys got a trophy and the after party at the hostel where all the Sydney bboys were staying at, was one of the best gatherings I've been to. From playing gladiator handstands to worm races and bboy charades, these guys are damn entertaining. I don't get why their girlfriends get bored hanging out with them...

Here's a summary of the trip in pictures:

Check these guys out at their official page, www.skb.au.com (no its not a typo!)

Props to the organisers Ray Ray, Lama and Scotty Doo for holding such a dope event.
Also special thanks to Mr Pauler for letting me use his photos.


Mr Pauler
Thanks Mr Pauler!

The only footage up is of the judges' showcase which was DAMN mind-blowing. Flea Rock and Legacy who happened to be Down Under for Gwen Stefani's tour took time out of their busy ass schedules, and almost got fired from the tour to come down and judge the event. Major props to them.


Oh and no battles as of yet, but here's the semi-finals from the NSW eliminator which was said to be the most heated battle:

Review - She Got Game International Bgirl Competition (Melbourne)

May 10th 2007 00:39

REVIEW (by Drumstick)
She Got Game was the first international Bgirl event to be held in Australia, and attracted the top bgirls from all over the world and the country.

The day started off with a much needed forum with judge Asia One (No Easy Props) who gave a strong and clear message about the direction bboying needs to take in the future. Much was said about the parallels of the skate and surf culture compared with the bboying culture. There are many similarities between the cultures, but ours is self sufficient, but massively under funded. The forum also touched on professionalism as a bboy and a culture, and the struggle of dancers to survive financially.

she got game bgirl comp

There was a large space for a decent jam session, and many female MCs entertained the crowd with various numbers. Hip Hop stalls also provided some merchandise at great prices.

The crowd of about 200 were blown away by the world class dancers and their energy and moves. Some of the hard hitters were Bgirl Vendetta (Burn Unit, USA), A-B-Girl (New Jersey) and Jessefecks (Supernaturalz Crew). The preliminaries saw 12 teams of bgirls try to qualify for the top 8 spots and the battle stage. The battles were two rounds each. From the semi-finals onwards, the stronger bgirl of each crew matched up against each other.

Bgirl H (New Zealand)
Vendetta took on JessFX, and A-B-Girl and Demilition and A-B-Girl took 3 of the 4 rounds in the battle. The finals between Burn Masters and Domestic Apes went for about seven rounds instead of two.
The competition saw all the international guests from the US take the top 3 placings, with Melbourne’s own Demilition and Essentz taking out 4th place.

She Got Game - International Bgirl Competition, Melbourne

March 14th 2007 03:47
She Got Game Bgirl Competition Melbourne
She Got Game Bgirl Competition Melbourne



I'm quite excited about this event. Being surrounded by bboys and attending bboy events where you see one or two bgirls competiting (if you're lucky), it's nice to get the female side of the bboy culture and not only are Freestyle Four holding one of the few bgirl events in Australia, they're going hard out.

With international guest judge Asia One (No Easy Props, U.S.A.) and special guest DJ Bles One (Massive Monkees, U.S.A.), with bgirls from all over the US, Australia and New Zealand competing, proves these organisers are serious about making this event one to outshine any other bboy event in Australia.

I hope this inspires more girls to take up breaking and that "She Got Game" will be the first in many more large-scale bgirl events in Australia to come.

SHE GOT GAME

In 2007, Freestyle4 Entertainment will present Australia's First International B-Girl Competition, 'She Got Game'. Female breakdancers (B-Girls) from around the world will congregate at RMIT University's Storey Hall Auditorium in Melbourne's CBD, on Saturday 5 th May 2007, to battle it out for the $5000 prize money and the bragging rights of taking out 'She Got Game'. This all ages event will run from 11:00am – 7.30pm. The day will include 2 on 2 B-Girl battles, DJs, MC & Dance Performances, Fashion Show, Graf Displays, Giveaways, Merchandise Stalls, Youth Hip Hop Forum & more.

Breakdancing is the original Hip Hop dance style and for the first time in Australia it will be brought to centre stage in all its glory by some of world's best B-Girls. Breakdancing is a highly skilled and energy-fuelled dance in which breakers 'battle' to win, judged on their ability to hit the beat of the music, their skills, and perhaps most importantly, their flava and style. This event will bring the International standard of this dance to Australia, with competitors coming from countries including the U.S.A., New Zealand and of course Australia.

The competition features guest judge B-Girl Asia One and DJ BlesOne flying direct from the U.S.A. Asia One being one of the most recognised and respected B-Girls in the world and member of crews No Easy Props, Zulu Kweenz and Essential Rockers, along with guest DJ BlesOne, DJ and member of world renowned breakdancing crew Massive Monkees. The day also features a free one hour Youth Hip Hop Forum from 11am including Asia One. There's no doubt Burn City will be set alight with an action packed day full of gravity defying moves and some of Hip Hop's best at the helm. Don't Miss Out Or It'll Be Game Over!
