@JinKazama92 If you hear the battle, the crowd sounds very crisp, but the battle music sounds muffled. It was b/c of the actual DJ equipment audio set at the jam. (not our sound system) The bass and treble from the DJ's equipment was bumped up too high. :-(
man I love their flow. usually similarly styled boys have long and awkward set-ups for their moves. they rhythmic and it still looks like they're dancing. dope.
@GroovMovz The music is kinda off with the live bass & super high treble. But in most battles, Isaiah consistently looks for the beat and tries to hit it with his moves. I just want to clear any confusion that being flexible means you cannot hit a beat. That's a bboy stereotype right there. - Daniel (Strife.tv)
Finally some flexible bboying that is super dope. Normally its some flexi bboy doing slow random flexi stuff with no signs of bboying, but these guys were awesome! Seriously original material!
seeing this in person, the energy in the whole building was going off. Everyone in wanted a hype battle especially fanatic. Just that first song set it off !
That was incredible! Are those guys friends, because Fanatic was talking throughout Isaiah's entire set. That can be pretty distracting. I don't thing that it was trash talk either. It was supportive and stuff. That's different. Kind of took away from the aggressive feeling of the battle though. Both of these guys are really talented. So much work must have gone into those moves. Inspirational.
@bboykil0 there are thousands of bboys out there that can't even dance with the music without putting their foot over their head. chill out. appreciate it and don't hate what you cannot do.
@Sam Ura I said newer, I know it's not like new and barely introduced this year but how Abstract boys are bboying and thinking now is relatively new to the bboy scene as a whole
Strife.tv and other b-boys.....if you aren't able to contort or do this stuff are you still able to b-boy? It's cool to watch, but it' intimidating while learning! I'm older (30s) and also an athletic body type (200 pounds) so i had hoped in the beginning you can get by with vibing and footwork. Great channel though, and I was at Rebullone recently where Isaiah competed. Cheers!
+superseiyan You CAN get by with vibing and footwork. Whatever you're style is, if you train hard, you'll be dope no matter what. Just give it you're all and do what you want to do. Don't give in to the fear that people won't like you just because you don't do powermoves or tricks. Bboy Keebz does all footwork/floorwork and he's very successful. You just gotta work towards it. I also practice alot since I love bboying. Cheers to you. I hope you succeed. It's never to late to bboy. :)
Fanatic definately killed that battle. Some of his sets were so sick! Knuckleheads have some lethal group members. That was a dope battle.Isaiah did some sick stuff too.
@moserroth85 I'm right there with ya, these dudes are mad creative and I can't be in awe of what they can do, but its hard to have musicality and hit the beat with this style so its hard for me to vibe with it. I do like watching Lilou do it though because he has a good balance between flexibility and musicality.
I think Isaiah is a better dancer but they both have some great innovative stuff. I thought that the flexi style was done around 2005, these guys have proved me wrong. However, I'd love to see a flexi guy that's just an amazing toprocker.
Two extremely original guy's lockin' horns... Don't see too many innovative battles like this anymore.
Props to both guys. Much respect.
my favorite battle of all time
We've all been waiting for this one for a while. Nice pairing.

Anyone who says this isn't bboying hasn't seen these two dudes in actual circles and competitions. This was just an exhibition.
what i like about strife vids, is that you feel like you're at the event, vibing with the crowd
this battle is so fucking nasty. both bboys killed it and the crowd just enjoyed it so much
this reallllllllllllllllll bad dey real bad!! dey mad yo crazy!! love it!!
man I love their flow. usually similarly styled boys have long and awkward set-ups for their moves. they rhythmic and it still looks like they're dancing. dope.
This battle is the most sickest bboy battle i've ever seen.
And when I say sick, I mean in both defintions of that. >
this is what we call dope battle!
we need battles like this back in the scene ahaha. this energy this feel
ive always dreamed of seeing this battle... thank you strife for making it a reality
i think i broke all of the bones in my body from watching this
WAIT! aren't they both in Knuckle heads cali and lionz of zion? I've seen them battle in both crews and battle together.
Damn, both of yall is MONSTERS!!!!
So sick the battle and what's the first song ? please

This Has to be the CREEPIEST, BUT DOPEST BBOY BATTLE IVE SEEN IN A WHILE!!! - Android

Finally some flexible bboying that is super dope. Normally its some flexi bboy doing slow random flexi stuff with no signs of bboying, but these guys were awesome! Seriously original material!
No saying who was better or not. They both were dope end of story. This is how an exhibition battle should be.
Sickest (literally) battle ive ever seen!

@LandeeProductions its suppose to be called abstract lol
@GroovMovz isaiah's musicality is subtle at times but he definitely knows how to rock a tune or two.
Fanatic killed that battle, some of his sets were sooo sick!!! Knuckleheads have some lethal crew members
Love that battle attitude Fanatic has.
He's never backing down against anyone.
How many limbs did they have to lose?
Second song anyone?
@Sam Ura I said newer, I know it's not like new and barely introduced this year but how Abstract boys are bboying and thinking now is relatively new to the bboy scene as a whole
It finally happens....
DOPE SHIT.

This was like a Flexibility bboy battle. Haha, mind blowing. Mad props to Isaiah and Fanatic.
Excelente

this might be crazy....they both should team up for 2v2 battles and they will win definately
Éstos dos bboy son impresionantes, son personas nudo hueso flexible
@strifetv lester kept adjusting his mixer's gain instead of the central mixer EQs which is why it sounds pretty wack. lesson learned haha
