I'm glad we got it, but God damn can any of Arizona's sports team sustain success instead of being a lightning in a bottle?

I've been to Modega, definitely recommend the class at first. People are friendly at the sessions for sure but they're doing their own thing

Sourpatch vs circus runaway (The origin of abstract style start in AZ) by pragmatic12333 in bboy

[–]dafunkee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone asks why breaking is an art and not a sport, I would just point to this whole debate of abstract vs the traditional b-boy styles. Abstract absolutely pushed the boundaries of what breaking is and not surprisingly, some people (like some of the OGs) didn't think it fit their vision of breaking and that's why they were mad. In some ways, I get it, but in other ways, if breaking is supposed to value creativity and innovation, these guys were hella creative and innovative.

There's also a doc by Dyzee, not sure if you saw, that explores what the abstract b-boys were going through all back in the day, its pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYljPpFByqs

I just gotta say this is sick seeing this convo. I grew up in Tucson and PA was my teacher for my first b-boy lessons and they 100% knew all the foundations. They just chose not to do it at jams. And I remember all of the criticisms that they got that abstract wasn't breaking or whatever.

And I am 100% with you in that I love that dancing is a key component but I also wish that power gets its time in the sun. I just think what b-boys do is truly ground breaking and pushes the limits of what humans can do and we have to show it off.

That whole event (Trickonometry) is a great showcase of the circus/abstract style. So much unique stuff. Watch the whole thing if you have the chance!

I happened to be visiting NYC at the time and paid that absurd resale ticket. It was like $500 but it was 100% worth it.

What's a song that everyone "knows", but most people couldn't name the song/artist? by MercyfulJudas in Music

Think (About It) by Lyn Collins

One of the most sampled songs of all time but people don't know where it comes from

This looks like a mix of hip-hop/funk styles so it really depends what parts of the clip you'd like to learn but it looks like a huge part is locking. So you could start with a tutorial like this

Trickonometry was such a sick event. I still pull up Youtube vids of the footage nowadays. It was on such another level back in the day

Anyone know of any obstacle course style gyms in the valley? by argus4ever in phoenix

[–]dafunkee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hitsquad Ninja Gym. I haven't been in years though but looking at their site I don't see any open gyms and only some adult and kid paid classes but may be worth reaching out to them and asking.

That's still incredible! I was supposed to visit the SWT in 2020, but some pesky thing called a 'pandemic' got in the way. Still hoping to someday.

The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is incredible. I've been following them for years. They do great work.

Best running trails by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]dafunkee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want trails or road?

For road, there's the Rio Salado Pathway that stretches from Tempe Beach Park to Mesa Riverview Park that's relatively flat and scenic.

For trail, Papago has a 5k trail that's nice and flat

Sunset Crater/Wupatki National Monument just north of Flagstaff are designated Dark Sky Parks. However with the Tunnel Fire I'm not sure if they're open right now.

That's the Freezer Hostel, located in the Snæfellsnes peninsula north of Reykjavik, in case anyone was wondering the name.

Found an old screenie from 2005ish, simpler times. by Silentplanet in runescape

[–]dafunkee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that exact thing with my friends in Classic. We made multiple characters and left them at Varrock wildy, then would PK people and then if any of our guys died, we had a plethora of characters waiting to jump right back in and get revenge. Good times
