Entrevista Just do It, importante!

1.What's your bboy name and the crew/crews u represent.

SUP! This bboy Justdoit representing Rugged Solutions from Eindhoven, Holland

2.Tell us when u started breakin and how did u had your first contact with hiphop culture.

I started breaking at the age of 14, but before that I was already a hyperactive kid trying to do flips and stuff.
When breaking come on my path it felt like that was the right thing for me. Since I was a little kid I liked rap music.
It was something that I just felt more than other music. I love the creativity behind music like jay dee biggie and the roots

3.What do you think that makes a good bboy, and how do u work to be one?

A good bboy is himself, tries to be original and innovates. That's what this danceform is about surprising the other, coming with crazy shit and
just bugging out on the music.

4.Everyone goes through bad moments like injurys, lack of inspiration, no motivation..what do you do to overcome that, when it happens to you?

Everybody is different some people need to go away from breaking for a while to get their inspiration back. I never have a lack of motivation.
Sometimes my stuff feels old, then I try to make new shit practice new moves. Sometimes my body doesn't feel like dancing, but I never get tired of it.
I'm lucky i guess hahah

5.What or who is your biggest inspiration?

Cloud and Reveal. When you look at these bboys dance it looks right. Nothings looks strange everything they do looks like it belongs to them. Every aspect of their break fits.

6.Bboying has been changing since the first days..how do you see this new scene with really big events, supercrews, tvshows, amazing prizes, and
all the media attention that comes with it?

I think it's good that there is something happening in bboying. It gives people the chance to do what they want to do.
FOR A LIVING! However there are a lot of events nowadays that are losing the balance. They want to over commercialise bboying without keeping in touch with the original culture...

7.You have been in Portugal to judge the event Breakers Revenge and people talked about how just a few bboys showed up, and how that can affect
our (portuguese) comunity. You also come from a small country..does this kind of things happen over there too?How do you think it can be solved
in the future?

In our country we are lucky. There are a lot of events, and the travel is always short. When people show a good initiative and takes care of the bboys that are there,
get supported. The people who try to make an easy buck don't get any leverage. The scene grows here, and gets more serious every year.

8.Tell us some of the best bboys of all times in your opinion.

The best bboys of all times, are the people that created new moves, and styles. The people that were untouchable, and the people that kept untouchable for so many years.
For me bboys like K-mel, Storm, Evo, Remind, Ken Swift, Ducky, Rubberlegz, Maurizio, Reveal, Hong-10 are timeless. These bboys come once in every few years...

9.What are your goals as a bboy?

My goal is to become stronger, better win some fucking first places for a change, and just to mature as a dancer. Every time I dance it feels like I solved another piece of the puzzle.
As if there is a perfect version from me, and I'm becoming more like it every time my hands and feet hit the ground.

10.You have been travelling to a few countrys.With all this youtube videos, do you think bboys are less and less creative and fresh and are
more influenced by what they see?Or you find that each country keeps his own identity?

YES. You're putting the words in my mouth hahahah
In a lot of country's people feel like there is a perfect way. A method to breaking. I don't believe in that stuff. I believe in knowing your history, learning from it, passing it on.
But I don't have to agree with anything. It's cool to be who you want to be. There's people that say their creative because they can kick a leg in their neck.. There's people judging powermovers
saying their not really bboys. Do what you want to do, but try to be open to learning from others. That's the ultimate way in my opinion.
But to come back. Yes I feel a lot of bboys look the same. When I'm judging there's always some bboys trying to be like menno, or dressing like Kid David. That's why I'm proud of my country.
In Holland every bboy looks different. If you're just doing someone elses stuf, it's impossible to get respect here.
I'm proud to hear koreans talking about a Dutch style. Or hear about Americans wanting to come and battle
in Holland. It shows that all you need is eachother to become something fresh and new.
Also about youtube. If you want to feel what someone does, try seeing his shit for the first time with your own eyes.
If you see something on youtube 20 times, it takes away the magic for you.
When Cico does fucking 18 rounds of 90 on his hands. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that people aren't going crazy. THAT SHIT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
Instead I hear people saying 'It was ok 19 rounds, but on youtube I saw him do 27'......

To all the bboys in Portugal. Keep doing your thing, give it time. Don't try to get world famous in a second.
Let your dancing mature. Give it the time to become something new, just be you.

Aight thanks for the chance to speak
