Nice. Do you know Kaneda (Cassidy)? he's an old friend of mine I haven't heard from in years I believe he was associated with your crew he used to mention it.
wait wait wait. YOU'RE Ghost? As in Ghost Ghost? As in the guy that was in FSS 5 with Ground Zero? DUDE YOU ARE MY HERO! I specifically remember that battle in Who Can Roast the Most where you battle exoob with some really nice short and sweet rounds and exoob essentially defeats himself by doing hi-tempo long ass rounds. By round five he's fucking wheezing and pacing, drinking water between his huffs and puffs and you're just standing there absolutely fine looking boss-mode. Sadly I can only find part of that battle online which excludes my favourite round from you where you turn one of your hands into a bug that scurries across the floor (I think its from that battle), do you know if that's available some place online? I appreciate that loving your stuff to this extent might sound as weird as Crazy Legs suddenly stating at a Rocksteady event that Stuntman was a better bboy than Ivan but in a world where most dullards turned into old-school Roxrite clones (because "objective judging system") seeing you on the field always presented me as the viewer with something different and I really appreciated that. Love both the drop and the end @ 1:18 btw.
+tpyo Hey Tpyo. Thank you, I appreciate the comment and the break down of that battle mentioned. That was the game plan but a most people over looked that part. Good eye my friend. Battling is like a great game of chest (human chest). Skills mean nothing if you don't pull the right moves at the right time.
+Sonny Tran Thanks for responding! Its kinda what makes me sad about how judging has changed. People now go out for so fucking long just so they can tick all the boxes. Give me something sweet, to the point and unexpected/original every day of the week, I enjoyed the era of specialists. Do you remember when there were _just_ footwork guys and everyone would have at least one almost purely footwork guy in the crew? Good times.
Of coarse! Every decent crew would have a footwork guy, power head, style guy haha Bboying has evolved. Some great things and some bad case. Happy that it's growing for sure though
I'm glad I didn't shake Benjis hand 20 yrs ago when I visited Paris. I knew he bit you from trustworthy sources but I finally saw this video over all this time and realised its worse than I ever thought. The truth always comes out lol
finally got to see footage of the legendary Ghost, i def see a lot of benji's biting source now. big up Ghost
i remember seeing you and scramblez practice at their apt with ben in the garage!

I can see the similarities on benji, he definitely bit you.
