EXTREME AWAY 2
Busan, Korea
Organised by Obowang aka Extreme CrewThe freaking train trip to Busan from Seoul took 6 hours. SIX WHOLE SHITTY HOURS ON A TRAIN. It was mad boring cos theres nothing much to do except having pointless conversations and sleeping. I felt really happy when we finally reached Busan cos it meant that I was at the same place where all the dope ass famous Korean bboys were at. ROFL. At Busan, Chelsea brought us to the beach because we still had like 2 hours before the jam begins. The beach was beautiful and very clean. Definitely a good place to chill with the one you love. Haha.
After going to the beach, we went to have dinner. The food was freaking dope. They had this HUGE MUSSEL and when I say huge, I really do mean huge. Its meat was really chewy and delicious. I don't think I'll ever find such food in Singapore. Nic, Dehui and me paid for that meal cos we wanted to express our thanks to Chelsea and Chris for taking care of us so much in Korea. They're really 2 great guys. Its fucking funny when Chelsea swears in English. LOL. We proceeded to the hotel where Extreme Away 2 was taking place after our meal. Extreme Away 2 is a 3 on 3 invitational Bboy competition organised by Obowang. While waiting in line to enter, I saw Ducky and Hong 10 and I went crazy. Wahaha! They look shorter than they look in videos. There were tons of girls going to jam, which is kinda surprising to me. Turns out that there will be a really famous male Korean R&B artist performing at the jam too. After getting out tix, we entered the jam venue. It was fucking huge and looked really dope. Settled down at our places and waited for like almost an hour before the jam finally started. JKH(Gamblers), 1 guy from Last For One and 1 guy(dunno who he is) was judging. The crews that took part included Maximum Crew, TIP, Floorgangz, TG Breakers, a Japanese crew(which included Aichi), Drifters and Obowang. The battles were super dope. I really liked Floorgangz VS TG Breakers. Floorgangz were ripping it hard with dope ass footwork and toprocks. They went to a tie breaker and the judges asked for 1 round each. After that the judges were still unsure and they asked for another round. Lol. In the end, TG Breakers took it.
Maximum Crew did pretty damn well. Eagle was madness. Wake Up was dope but kinda sloppy. Drifters didn't do that well in the battles. Hong 10 looked tired and Ducky didn't do as well as I've seen him do on videos. TIP did really well. Snake was mad dope and did all his stuff cleanly. Obowang was doing tons of dope power and blowups but they lost to Drifters. The final battle was between Maximum and TIP. It was pretty damn obvious that TIP took the battle. There was 1 moment during the battles where Ducky was dancing to the beat really well. Could see him really enjoying himself and becoming one with the beat. Me and Chris were the only one who gave props when he was dancing and he looked in our way and smiled with a look on his face which kinda said "Yeaaaaaaaa ;)". ROFL xD There was a 1v1 Headspin battle between Boom(Spinkings) and Aichi from Japan. Aichi definitely won the battle. Boom wasn't really on form I guess.
I was standing and kneeling throughout the entire battle and my legs were feeling really sore. We took a Guest pass which we found a floor while the competition was going on and used it to enter the area where all the bboys were at. LOL. We were really fortunate to find the pass cos without it, we wouldn't be able to meet the Korean bboys. I took pictures with Ducky(Drifters), Hong10(Drifters), Newborn(Floorgangz), Aichi(Japan), Snake(TIP) and Blondie(Obowang). Blondie was really friendly. He gave each of us a bottle of beer and said "CHEERS!". LOL. It was fucking dope. We were talking to him and Chris went "I really hope Obowang will win BOTY next year." and Blondie was like "OH YEAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" and punching his fists in the air and shit. ROFL. I asked him how long he had been breaking and he said 9 years. When I met Ducky, I introduced myself.
Tosh : "
Hi. My name's Tosh."
Ducky : "
Yo. I'm Ducky."
LOL. He introduced himself like I have never heard of him at all. His girlfriend is really hot. Meeting and shaking hands with Newborn was the highlight of Extreme Away 2 for me. He's one of my favourite bboys. Really like his footwork and style. Newborn doesn't really talk much, which makes him kinda cool. Floorgangz started a circle and Newborn was going in and ripping shit hard. He went in like 15 times and never repeated! Not even once. I'm fucking impressed and amazed. After he finishes his set, he always stands up and his face has this "Beat that, motherfuckas." look. Mad dope attitude.
We left the place at around 2am and took a taxi to Busan Train Station. We went to have supper and the food was good(as usual). We proceeded to a PC Room(LAN Shop) after that and I blogged the entry before this one there. Haha. At 5am, we boarded our train which was bound for Seoul. I was really tired and fell asleep soon after I sat my ass on my seat. Chris had to go work so Nic, Dehui and me went back to Chris' place to sleep. When the 3 of us finally reached Chris' place, we were feeling really exhuasted and all. We squeezed on Chris' bed and dozed off. Wahahaha. Dehui didn't have much space cos I was taking up alot so he went to sleep on the floor. PWNAGEEE.
At around 5.30pm, Dehui woke me up and asked me to open the door cos Chris was outside. LOL. He had been waiting for a freaking long time. He even went to a PC Room to send us an email, asking where the fuck we were at! HAHAHAHAHAHAH.
