MEDAL JAM UNDERGROUND 5 ADELAIDE (12th Feb 2011)

OHH RIGHT...! this jam.. was MADDDD LAST MINUTE...
this was the story... i was chillin' at work doin overtime cleaning.. bout 5pm Friday.. i received a call from PoeOne asking me if id be interested in rollin to Adelaide for the jam..i was like... wow.. let me have a few words with my crew see how they go..hustled them sent them a text "YO WHOS DOWN TO DRIVE UP TO ADELAIDE FOR MEDAL JAM TONIGHT GET AT ME ASAP!" me personally..i never thought of rollin to adelaide at the time...I've never driven interstate before..?

then i hit up YAYO too.. my homies that hit me up! was BRUSH & B-ROK, the few others couldnt make it due to having other things to do.. all good!
so i was confirmed with YAYO, BRUSH, B-ROK! and then last minute i got a confirm by CISS aswell!

finished work.. got home after work.. chatting to my boy FALKON on the phone.. after the call i rolled out to practise with YAYO & CISS at the local spot Springers Leisure Centre, got home got ready rolled out and picked up the others we had kebabs before we left it was 1am Saturday morning.. we drove out IN THE NINJA HONDA JAZZ!!!!
it took approx 8-9 hours..

i drove for bout 5-6 hours.. from what i remembered..
got to the point where we almost ran empty.. chilled at a Shell station bout 5-6am.. waiting cos we didnt think we would make it.. then luckly this guy dropping of newspapers stopped by and told us that there was another servo around we followed and filled up and kept rolling out! i stop driving and chilled..

then i drove again! and we finally hit Adelaide bout 9am?
rolled up to PoeOne's Crib and...BOOM! HAHAH!!

chilled out rested up for a few hours.. woke up and checked out some local shops and some food.. got ready to rock the JAM!
we rolled up late...
had to battle 5-10mins in..! we decided to call ourselves "WHILE YOU'RE ASLEEP" props to yayo for the name.. and Poe for registering us..



as soon as that battle finished out crew got called out and had to battle another crew..
at that time we were alittle bit warmed up!





after that there was some chill time..


BOOM! 





AFTER THAT THE FINALS!





SMASHED IT!!!


after the jam.. chilled out had nandos!! then rolled back to Poe's crib washed up! chilled with some local adelaide bboys.. and rolled out onto the ROAD...back to MELBOURNE, we couldn't stay for the after party due to CISS having to teach a workshop up in woop woop back in Victoria.. so we drove as fast as we could to get back! 
once again.. while driving.. we ran empty again... we were alittle worried i think? it was a sunday morning.. in a mad empty town.. we ended up just winging it and kept driving.. along .. and luckily found a servo and filled up!! feeewww!!


we were driving fast!! well i was... i think i hit about 160-180KMS'/hr
we still ended up being about 1 hour late arriving back to Melbourne..? but we all arrived back home safely!


IT WAS DOPE!!


PEACE!!!

SPRINGERS COMP 3 (21st Jan 2011)

This was a local 2on2 jam round my suburb.. held in a leisure centre where locals train.

It was hosted by 2 bboys (Aaron & Chris) from Rainbow Crew which are up and coming..
Originally the first and second springers jam was held by bboy named Kreecha which is also up and coming. props to him for holding it down!

Bit of history of the jam from what i remember...

The first springers comp. i was one of the judges. i wasnt sure if this one was a 1on1? or 2on2..
but it was a very dope experience to witness the up and coming bboys and bgirls rockin'

The second springers comp, i competed with Reflex, an ex-K.O member, the finals was..
TOFU/REFLEX vs. SCROLL/RUSTY SHRIMP
Winners - TOFU/REFLEX

The third springers comp, i was asked to be a judge once again.. but i cancelled due a clash of having having PoeOne being down in Melbourne holding his 'Each One Teach One Breakin Workshop' on the same night.. i couldn't of missed out on that.. WORD? bboy yayo from M.O.B.B was also asked to be a judge.. he also pulled out of judging due to wanting to take the workshop.

so the jam ended up having Reflex (Neon Genesis Breakers) & Foxy (Rhythm Faction) as judges.

sadly due to PoeOne having injured himself.. he had to cancel his workshop that day..
so in the end Yayo and myself spoke about it.. and decided to rock up to the jam and not judge and enter last minute! HAHA!

we rocked up in full nylon tracksuites!

the jam was very exposed in my opinion.. lot of light, mirror.. the vibe, wasn't really able to feel it much.. on the day i couldn't pick it at the time.. but it felt odd?
but it was great to see the younger gen running little jams to keep things rollin'
so much props to that! keep it up!

BUT! at this Springers Comp 3, something dope happened closer to the end of the jam.
in the semi finals it was TOFU/YAYO vs. KREECHA the lights suddenly switched off.. due to overtime of the jam.. as Kreecha finished his first run.. i rolled out FUK it.. keep rockin it! so in that moment everyone pulled out their phones, iphones and switched on the lights and walked closer up made a cipher! to me the VIBE JUST SHOT UP from 20% to 70%.

they had one more semi final after our battle.

THEN THE FINALS CAME! IT WENT OFF!!! its one of those moments where u just had to be there to feel the vibe! IT WENT OFF! 100% VIBE YO!! peep the footage!
for a local jam.. yea it was DOPE!

PEEP MY BROTHERS.. BRUSH, MONKEE, LION AND B-ROK holding it down on the day too!

my brothers brush and monkee... smashed it....!!



groovin' Lion & B-Rok...

An elimination battle will be held for all other crews for the final 4 spots on Sat morning from 11am before the doors officially open for the event 


'1 ON 1 BBOY/BGIRL BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY!!!'--

1 0n 1 TOP 10!!!

2. LEE ROK(Common Ground)

3. DAN(Floor Pirates)

4. SETTE(Delinkwentz)

5. HUGGA(Flesh Maze)

6. PATRICK BIALA(Juse)

7. SAMSON(Cipher Nasty)

8. TOFU(Kingz Only)

9. BLONDE(Extreme Crew)

10. BLANKA(Floor Gangz/MZK)

This year for the 1 on 1's we're collaborating with the infamous 'Circle Kingz' where the first part of the battles will run according to the Classic Cipher eliminations.

For those who aren't aware of how it works....Basically we let the DJ spin some ill beats for a certain amount of time whilst the Bboys/Bgirls get down and represent in the Ciphers.

Secret judges(Approximately 10) will observe the battles picking the the remaining 6 Bboys/Bgirls who repped the hardest in their opinion. Not only will the secret judges be picking people but it is also up to them to test people on the floor if theyre unsure not to mention just getting down!!! So you'll have no clue who all the judges are apart from the 'Special Guest International Judges'.

This means you'll have to be on point non stop!!!

The chosen 6 will then go on to the battles along with the pre chosen 10!!!


--'CREW BATTLES!!!'--

Prelims will be Timed exhibition battles where we will pick the top 8 crews to advance on to round 2.......So you MUST go hard in the prelims to make it.

To register for the crew battles please holla at me on here or email me at rushwepiha@gmail.com
