this was the battle that got me caught up into the whole bboy/hip hop culture!! used to see this battle playing on vhs at the flea market!!! sick! sick!!!

YEAH YEAH. IT WAS AMAZING experience to witnessing this two dynamics crews.. It created a new wave for generations to come..

Never has there been a more influential dancer like B-Boy Ivan, under my radar. He is so full of character, it's always a damn pleasure watching him move to the music. Very fast and energetic.

The Urban action figure named Style Element crew Bboy Ivan my brother.

@frogslife1 Hey fellows this is LilCesar from AFC. Ozrock gave me the first Helmet in 1984. I started practicing and practicing. at first it was uncomfortable it was a weir feeling then I find out that it was a better material to spin better then a beanie or my bare head. I started noticing that I was loosing my hair and I had a crazy ball-spot. some people say i was cheating but when they tried it. they realize it wasn't easy. is not about cheating is about a choice and being smart.

6:10-6:24 is some of the the sickest shit I've seen on a dance floor.

6:11-6:20 is the most underrated shit on this video. it's not all about the power moves. Ivan's up rock is clean asf!!! Some of these cats need to get off the ground once in a while

僕の青春！いつみてもかっこいいな！今のブレイキンには無い個性的でかっこいい

B-Boy Ivan KILLED IT

You can see how slippery the floor was. Even though, they killed it.

thanks..been looking for that for quite a while also

much respect to Ivan and Wicket was a powerhouse hitting those one-handed halos!

Those Nike cortezes Renegades was rocking along with the spandex? No bueno for a wet floor. Respect to both crews. StylElements adapted to all elements and took the prize. I do gotta say Jazzy J was ahead of his time as far as power moves go.......

Yup. I agree. The man is a "dancer". A real one. Always enjoy watching him on the floor.

This is what got me into breakdance

I went to this! I was 16

its the mexican by babe ruth. a classic!

B Boy Ivan brought me here. 6:10-6:51 is the cleanest shit in this battle imo.

loving it bboy classic

Thank you

Some good stuff in this video. Its epic to me. The kid with the helmet in all black. And the dude with the head band thats about to set it off. He looks familiar like he taught muay thai at house of champions. Much love to lil caesar, he`s in the book of b-boys.

Such a classic battle!!!

Classic Indeed!

Ivan is more than just a powerhead.

hahaa! ohh damm...go to 6:10, 1vans footwork on h1s uprocks are b1zerk!! soo dope!

ahahah!!! man i remember this shit! I need to start b-boyin again! thanks for posting this up.

CLASSIC

the incredible bongo band- apache

That's my boy Jay the innovator doing all his crazy shiet way before anyone else could touch him... RENEGADES GOT ROBBED from this one!

jazzy-j at 1:19 that dude also was a beast.@at 1:58 crums another beast.

lol at the guy who just plops himself in the middle of the floor at the end haha. I think that guy with the white head band was the best. Very clean and professional.

@Dannydangle I think you are talking about Super dave from style elements

Bboy Poe One Puerto Rico represent.

You look at this and you realise how great todays bboys are we are talking levels above these dudes. This is like a practice battle.

@RTONYO are you talking about the guy in the white helmet with all black?I call him moi/junior these days but i dont know what he went by back then. thats cool this battle was so important to the bboy scene tho. @Marcos Galaz do you think you could send me a link to or upload the orig. footage of the whole battle? if you cant its ok tho.

Can anyone tell me the name of the last track on this video. Id really appreciate it!

The Bruce Deeuoukayeey Dominating Force

Ivan the dopest... style

Can someone please tell the name of the first song at the start ing from 35 sec. till about 1:24.

ivan was a ringer for style elements

who's the dude with the white headband and black shirt?

yo i need some help on a clip from a radiotron vhs i had. i know right after a scene with africa bam bata is shows a b boy in black addidas jump sute hitting windmills to halos , ther is a sick violin trak in the back ground any one know what im talking about. /??i want the vol # or song title. thanks.

man, haven't seen this battle in years. bboy ivan!!!

floor is hella wet

@pberrios0223 that bboy ivan urban action figure,the best at that time.he would take on a hole crew when he was at his prime,nobody could hang with ivan.

That's my boy gabe from Gault CA...He went by the name bboy jizzo...was a dope ass bboy but was real shy at that time...

legendary battle. and lol at the camera man. he seemed to be distracted at 1:50...she looks mad familiar tho.

That fool tore it up at 6:10

So ivan ran with Style Elements huh? That's a fun fact that i didn't know.. But who were all the members of both Renegades and Style Elements from around this time?

wow 13 years ago. minus that from every bboy u recognize in here

5:25 anyone know where I can get a copy of that beat

1:21 He accidentally performed an airflare cause his hands slipped away. Im pretty confident that he did it by mistake, airflares werent invented back in 1996.

Renegades! San Fran vs styles elements! Modesto!

i always thought the Renegades won imo

4:16-4:36 hella fuckin dope!!!!

I always felt like renegades won that battle especially since ivan was a ringer for style elements

whos that at 2:40? homeboy was getting down

4:43 Poe One create the airchair

At 240 its Blueboy That is Poeone at 444

crumbsssssssssssssssssss

The pioneers of break dance .

the floor seems too slippery

What happened to that hot Latina in the white shirt waving her hand for air? Ever wonder????

It's mine or the floor its wet?

whats up with the helmet

wow that was weak.......helmets....lol
