Updates/News
Here goes all the old bios that I wrote. The news ones are all written by the breakers although with a few grammatical fixes.(Sorry that this page might take some time to load due to the amount of pics on one page.)
Name: Danny
Breaking Name: D-Flare
Aliases:
Dboy326, Dan-Man
Age: 19
Hometown: Oakland
California
Ethnicity: Chinese (Hakka)
Graduating Year:
2004 (UC Davis)
Cybertek Claim: Silver Jacket
Fav. Jack In
The Box Food: Jumbo Jack, 2 tacos for 99 cents
Womens:
Secret UCD womanHe probably gets more play than an
arcade
Fav. Celeb. Women: Francine Dee and Sung Hi Lee
Signature Move(s): The secret "D-flare" maneuver
Signature
Sayings:"It's true...it's, true"
Status: Still breaking.
He's the original one that brought breaking to the rest of us. He's the
Moses of us and told me to break and showed us how. For him to quit would
mean that the legacy is truly over. (No pressure Danny)
Other
Stuff:What's up Danny? So yeah, he is the best breaker out of all of
us really. He's the silent leader of the group actually. ABD doesn't have
any appointed leaders here, but if an election were to happen, it'd be
him, Wilson(if still present) or Sheng to be candidates. It's like a
secret heirarchy that we don't talk about or discuss of. Sort of like the
mafia. He's also the downlow type, not to show off until someone else does
something first. I'm more of the instigator where I'd be the first to jump
up into the circle and then he'd follow. He has been my neighbor for like,
4-5 years now so it was natural for him to ask me to break that winter
break weekend when I got into breaking for real, instead of just being a
spectator. Hmm...if he was an animal, he'll probably be the type of animal
that breakdances while catching it's food. Like a penguin.
Name: David
Breaking Name: Psycho
Aliases: Pure Insanity, Darkpoet27
Age: 19
Hometown: Oakland California
Ethnicity: Chinese (Hakka)
Graduating Year: 2004 (Laney/UC Santa Cruz)
Cybertek Claim: Yellow Jacket
Fav. Jack In The Box Food: Fries? Sourdough Jack?
Womens: A Korean girl***but he likes to get them good and drunk first***
Fav. Celeb. Women: FinKL?, Katie Holmes?
Signature Move(s): Crazy Popping/Raving moves
Signature Sayings: "Sup with that?"
Status: Damn raver. Seriously dude, me and Danny saw him at a mini rave thrown by Feelgood and was like totally shocked to see him there. We didn't see him bust a move, but still. Anyways, haven't seen him for year or so before that so I have no idea what's his status or affiliation is with now.
Other Stuff:Former Executive Lieutenant of the Kiwins. He was the one that came up with the whole idea to do a breakdancing group before we did. We weren't sure if we would do it since we only had 5 people at the time down to do it. It was in David's bedroom when we watch "Soul Train" and for the first time saw breaking there and starting recording it too. He showed up one time for practice for our first performance but never took part in it for personal issues. Same reason why he wasn't at the second performance at OACC. Hmm. He was/is the silent breaker.(Like a ninja.) One time he disappeared for a month (practicing breaking we think) and when he finally came out to break, he came out with renewed interest in t-flares and popping. Which he still does. Anyone that received the heated email where it's hard to tell if that really was him writing it, would know that much of his decision to want to leave the group was directed towards me. Of course I answered back, but not as loudly or with as many curse words. Why include him then you say? Because he was one of the people that wanted to see the dream happen and not die on the drawing board. We only had 8 members in the group's history, that means he's 12.5% of the group's history. I don't wanna discuss the whole circumstance surrounding his departure of ABD, but if you know, you know why, if you don't, you don't wanna know.
Name: Wilson
Breaking Name: Bizzy Legz
Aliases: Marlboro83, Do it Wilson
Age: 18
Hometown: Oakland California
Ethnicity: Chinese (Hakka)
Graduating Year: 2001 (Oakland High)
Cybertek Claim: Navy Blue Windbreakers
Fav. Jack In The Box Food: Fudge that, he makes spaghetti instead of going to Jack In The Box
Womens: It depends on who you talk to***Yeah, totally it does***
Fav. Celeb. Women: That Japanese girl that used to be on Soul Train, Sung Hi Lee, Sung Hi Lee, and Sung Hi Lee
Signature Move(s): Popping, T-flaring into anything
Signature Sayings:"He's single!"
Status: He and Cheng and some other people got together and decided to make their own breakdancing group.
Other Stuff:What's up everybody? My first time meeting Wilson was at an OACC trivia contest. I was so shocked to find out that he was David's brother. They so do not look or act alike. So I was breaking at his house for the first time, and he was just walking into the living room and was like, what the hell, and then started breaking with us 10 minutes later. He has mastered the flare in a short amount of flare. He's like burger King with his flares, any way he wants it done, he'll make it. From flare to hydro back to flare, or windmill to flare to windmill to flare to windmill to flare until he drops, from six step to flare back to six step, it doesn't matter. He knows the flare and how to use it effectively. He got the millions and millions of women screaming for more popping and strutting. He ninties like floating on air. So time for the sad part, he bounced from the group around november, different but related reason to why David left. Again, yaw don't wanna know the details about it. Bizzy legs, Undergroud Legs, Crazy legs 2, it doesn't matter how many legs or names he has, he is and always welcome back anytime to ABD.
Name: Sheng
Breaking Name: Hydro Boy
Aliases: Shenger, Sheng816, Bust a Hydro
Age: 19
Hometown: Oakland California
Ethnicity: Mien
Graduating Year: 2004 (Only if he can rub his tummy and pat his head at the same time for their graduation test)
Cybertek Claim: N/A (it was supposed to be a green jacket)
Fav. Jack In The Box Food: Everything including the Jumbo Jack
Womens: Got more womens than a gumball machine has gumballs and he has his FinKL of course More numbers in his black book than the yellow pages
Fav. Celeb. Women: CoCo Lee...SES girls...Diva... Britney Spears
Signature Move(s): Hydro, Turtle
Signature Sayings: "Oh my gosh, SES and FinKL" or something of that nature.
Status: Sheng understands me when I said that breakdancing is like an ex girlfriend. You actually have to experience the ups and downs of breaking. How it was all exciting and fun until you start realizing that this isn't doing much good for your body. I wasn't trying to persuade anyone into retiring from breaking but was rather trying to state my position on the matter. He understands, but he's not retiring yet.
Other Stuff: Most natural turtles and 90's I've ever seen in real life, not just on video tape. His shack is cool too, just big enough to break and chill in. If someone told me that he did a ninety while talking on the phone, I would not believe them. But he did which just still astonishes me. Natural ABDer, likes Jack In the Box and Cybertek clothing and all the things that make a breaker and breaker. He makes all the moves seem so simple, so fluid, like water flowing down a waterfall. Or the water flowing out of a pitcher. Or a freeze like waters in an ice cube tray. He gets most of his dance moves from watching SES videos or at least that's his excuse for his big collection of their music videos. When he can't find time breakdancing, he finds time breakdancing at previously unthinkable breaking spots, like when he did a t-flare after running around Lake Merrit, or when he was waiting in line at the court house and did a 90, and when he did a 90 to a hydro on grass at the picnic area. Wish I had that on tape.
Name: Ivan
Breaking Name: Deep Freeze
Aliases: Puffy, Rice Addict, Sayuhhh, Icyurthong
Age: 18
Hometown: Oakland California
Ethnicity: Chinese (Cantonese)
Graduating Year: 2000
Cybertek Claim: Navy Blue Jacket
Fav. Jack In The Box Food: Jumbo Jack, Oreo Shake, (damn calories though)
Womens: I'm happily unmarried with no attachments...I keep on hoping
Fav. Celeb. Women: Sammi...Maribel Wong...Kaila Yu...Sasha Singleton...those girls from Bros...that girl from that Yoo Seungjun video where he's riding a motorcycle
Signature Move(s): Handspin and K pose
Signature Sayings: "Is this velvet?" and "Don't worry, I got it on tape"
Status: Screw this, I'm retiring. Too many darn injuries to justify me being in this sport/art/dance. Had bruise that never goes away, hurt fingers, wrist, hand, legs, thigh, head and neck. To me it's just not worth it. I've heard about worse things happening to other breakers and that I though would never happen to me, but seems like it is coming really damn close to happening. Like T-Rex, he actually snapped his neck while head spinning and wore a neck brace for a month. And one time Josh did one too many one-handed hydros and broke his wrist. I think that should be enough examples. Plus I find that breakdancing isn't as fun to do as it used to be for me.
Other Stuff:What's up everybody? I used to leave this part saying "no comment" because I wasn't sure what to write. See, writing about yourself is one of the hardest thing that anyone can do. Sure, some people can pull it off with ease, but I can't be fully disclosed about my feelings about breaking and the stuff surrounding it. In some religious people lifetimes, there will come a time where they'll doubt their fate by asking "Is a god really out there? Or am I just wasting my time praying to something that's not even there?" I had such an incidence where I questioned if breaking was a positive thing in my life and whether I can go on life without it. I didn't tell anyone that except for Danny and Daniel, because by then I was then reluctant to actually jump into the circle and do my thing. I used to be the main dude to stir things up but now I was relegated to being the bystander I was before I joined ABD. So I started having conversations with myself wondering if all the injuries was worth it. Seems like problems just caused more problems when I thought about it. Some successful breakers can be tight in the circle, have millions (and millions) of admirers, beautiful girlfriend (or boyfriend if they're a girl) and just cope with job/work/school. Keyword there is some. Danny can hang and the rest of ABD can hang, but then when you get older and realize in your late teenage years that you aren't indestructible as you used to believe, like I did, it affects everything you do and makes you hesistant about doing stuff. So here I am trying to be lukewarm in it, the diet pepsi of breaking if you want, always thinking before I go do anything dangerous or stupid, and then go do it. Sometimes I still believe that if you don't go all out in life, then what's the point then? Other times, I'm just like "noooo, leave me aloooone." It's still not very easy for me to come to my decision upon I stand here today and maybe later on I'll change my views of life. Somehow I believe Jay-z stated my feelings the best when he said, "I'd rather live enormous than live dormant...that's how we on it" because that's how I believe I should live my life.
Name: Jennifer
Breaking Name: B-Gyrl
Aliases: Jenny, Jen-Jen, Hkgurl98
Age: 19
Hometown: Oakland California
Ethnicity: Chinese (cantonese)
Graduating Year: N/A
Cybertek Claim: N/A
Fav. Jack In The Box Food: She doesn't seem like the fast food type.
Mens: Her current love interestSaw them riding in a Altima once
Fav. Celeb. Men:(Let me make things up:Backstreet Boys, N Sync, 98 degrees and Yoo SeungJun.)
Signature Move(s): N/A
Signature Sayings: "Hi Ivan" and "That's simple"
Status: I think she's still raving. I seriously have not seen her for 6 months already so I have no idea what she's up to.
Other Stuff: Hey Jennifer, didn't I see you standing outside that rave one time? She is the only girl we had in ABD. We only did break together one time at my house and afterwards we had pizza.=) Of course everyone has potential, we all saw it in her. Or was it that fact that we would get a girl breaker like the one from "Freestyle Session 2"? It doesn't matter now. Now I don't see at school anymore and that makes me sad.=( She quittedededededed because she didn't have time since she got to work and got a man. You know, like she's out of high school already and has to drop some stuff that would only boggle her down. Hmm. I did get her to handspin better than David in one night. Cool huh?
Name: Daniel
Breaking Name: It doesn't matter what the name is
Aliases: TheAsianRock, Dashing Daniel
Age: 18
Hometown: Oakland California
Ethnicity: Chinese (Cantonese)
Graduating Year: 2000 (Oakland High)
Cybertek Claim: They don't make CyberTek anymore.
Fav. Jack In The Box Food: Terriyaki Bowl, Oreo Shakes
Womens: Kaila Yu***And that big tittied French girl at Hayward***
Fav. Celeb. Women: Sasha Singleton, Maribel Wong, the white girl in orange and her ugly friend that kept on staring at him during orientation.
Signature Move(s): Footwork, Freeze
Signature Sayings: "Number one burner, the what the what the what?"
Status: Tired-retired depending on the situration. If there's a hype ass breaking show, he's willing to go up and do it. And if there's some sucky people trying to break, he's willing to go up and break.
Other Stuff:
I thought it'd be funny if I did a made up interview with the AsianRock himself.
Ivan: For the record, what is your name? (I act all professional typing on my keyboard)
Daniel: Well...actually (he struggles with this question because he knows what's gonna happen)
Ivan:...It doesn't matter what your name is!!! (I'm 2 inches away from slapping his face)
Daniel: Very funny(gives me middle finger)
Ivan: Yes it is (I type that down)
But seriously, since he is the recruit I picked from the whole lot of candidates, I have to do a big deal on him. He's gonna be up in the new ABD performance in may if we can lock it down by then. He hasn't been able to practice since he got b-ball tournament to practice for, but he will be skilled I guarantee. Everything I know about the Rock I basically learned from him, hence the wrestling influence spread around on this page. Hmm...Why did I pick him? Good question brain. Not because he drives a bling bling Galant, but because he has potential. He wants to learn how to break and if he's been dreaming about breaking since he was in junior high, I/we should give him a chance to live it out instead of just wondering "what if". He's cool with everyone and doesn't take crap from anyone(ask anyone at Jack in the box about it) so he's a cool person to get along with too. It's kinda hard for him to practice breaking when he lives upstairs and his living room is carpet but he still puts on an impressive show.
Name: Cheng
Breaking Name: Flip Boy
Aliases: Bizzy Legs(pt.2)
Age: 16
Hometown: Oakland California
Ethnicity: Mien
Graduating Year: 2002 (Oakland High)
Cybertek Claim: N/A
Fav. Jack In The Box Food: N/A
Womens: Attracts more girls than a Sanrio storeAnd he drives too yaw
Fav. Celeb. Women: Francine Dee? Jennifer Lopez?
Signature Move(s): Windmill for sure. He also backflips like it ain't nothing ladies and gentlemen
Signature Sayings: "Aw damn"(?)
Status: He still breaks under the wing of Wilson, but not with ABD aanymore.
Other Stuff:You know what I'm saying. Possibly the most shinny star in ABD's roster. When we first met him, it was a freshman versus everyone else breaking battle in a tight hallway near Mr. Jordan's room. He did backflips but no real breaking while his frined, Jaco was doing some strutting stuff. Then fastforward into this year, he came into the official breaking circle and nearly did a complete windmill. Two weeks later, he was doing barrel windmills on his shoulders and didn't get burned or anything. Whoadie. So Wilson saw this and signed him up. He is dedicated to say the least, even stacked against Sacramento breakers that've been breaking for at least 10 years, he jumped into the circle and did his windmills and backflips much to the delight of the crowd. One thing that you can't say about him is that he's scared to do anything. First assembly with the breakdancing club, he backflipped of the stage in warmups for fun. And also because someone dared him, but anyways. He tries everything breaking move out there and it's his effort that makes it look clean even if he doesn't nail it completely right. He bounced a lil after Wilson bounce.
