Well when I started the National Breakin' League (you put Breaking in the video) I wasn't really concerned with a cosigner or anything of that nature. As a bboy myself I saw the dancers struggling the most though they were the actual talent of every event. In other sports that are organized and have built themselves to a level of prestige, the talent benefits greatly through endorsements, sponsorships, etc. I didn't see that with us so I had two choices: sit on the side bitching and complaining or do something about it. I chose the latter. I see one guy in the whole video who was actually rocking gear from a corporation that pays him to do so. Why aren't all of the talented bboys that put their souls on the floor enjoying that same level of support? We have to organize together and see the value in what it is that we do. Props to everybody that made it to the event, filmed, did interviews, etc. See you in AZ! Hey are you guys gonna document the NY Teams trip to AZ? If anybody wants to talk, debate, etc. hit me up. PEACE!!

We support all that you are doing for the scene and we support your vision. Thank you for an excellent jam. (Sidenote: Those were Crazy Legs words not ours. We don't feel you need a cosigner.)

We would love to come to AZ...or at least document Supreme's preparation and training for NBL.

Honestly, I feel this event needs NO type of approval from an "OG / Founder" of the game. If they're still part of the community, cool. But get over the shine you HAD. It's a new generation with new rules and new providers to the game. Let that newness carry on and evolve. It's getting better as it keeps moving forward.

Much props to the founders of this event.

I feel like everyone that was shown in this clip was very honest! I have been a part of the NBL from day one. In 2006 as a competitor, after the 1st season I then joined the administrative side of things in regards to formating/organizing the NBL logistically. The mission of the NBL will soon become reality through hard work, honesty, and retaining our integrity. I only hope that the rest of the community can soon see reality. I wish I had the ability to see the future or read minds, sorry to say I can't do either. So I will continue to be open minded to any and everyones opinion on how/who I should work (with/for).

I do look forward to seeing everyone at the National Championship in Phoenix, AZ on Saturday, April 10th 2010.
