Cross Over 2008

I can't believe spending money like I actually had it.

But that's the way it goes, My brother bought 46" TV so I had to go after him and buy Full HD video projector for my PS3 which i bought a week ago. At least it more than doubles my brother's screensize. Right now I feel pretty upset but when I play new Final Fantasy 13 with 110" screen, I believe everything will be alrite..

Cathy from France has popping workshops today and tomorrow in Helsinki. Check them latest tomorrow if you missed today!

Also Flow-Mo documentary 'Let it Flow' will be shown on Finnish national TV on channel Yle Teema on saturday 15:00 & sunday 22:45. Remember to watch if you haven't yet.

Check my man Marks produced track with Ken Ring from Sweden, hiphop. Track is called 'Uppstår' from Ken's latest mixtape.
Listen it here:





So.. Cross Over Osaka, Japan.
After I came from Kyoto in the morning, on the sameday was 'Cross Over' event, The event that ends the year at Alley-Oop dance school.. I was prepared to sleep max 3 hours, since I knew girls would have a showcase there and I COULDNT MISS IT, since I MISSED THE PREVIOUS in 'Female trouble' event and the GIRLS WOULD KILL ME IF I MISS THIS ONE TOO!

I almost overslept but happily the event was late. The girls' showcase would start the whole thing.

People were warming up for 2vs2 Wacking, 2vs2 popping, 2vs2 locking -battles.



The night's band was doing mic checks :)



And girls were checkin their places



And Jenny was practicing her footwork..





I was hanging with wonderful RM sisters ;)





Ok well the battles and prelims..:




Actually there are so many of these pics that I put small thumbnails and then just click to open it full size, ok?



lets do it: (I won't comment on these ones, I let the people here in pics have peace and be anonymous if you don't recognize them)












































Band had a talkbox show..



Marika And Kaisa from Finland won the wacking part, and Double'J came second in Popping. Congrats :)


The Event was Mad FUN! If you checked the pics you might have seen that at times it got out of hands.
Japan was more crazier than Finland AFTERALL!


When the event ended.. we went to eat with bunch of people. Gucchon, Kei, Tetsu-G, RM Sisters, Aeroman, Acky, etcetcetcetc.. it was delicious japanese food and I was happy with some drinks :).





Ayyght! Im out for now!

Back in Finland

Hi,

Ok I try to keep up with this but I bought Playstation 3 just few days ago so Im hooked with that too :)

Now, since it's hard to be specific about last long trip in japan, I just up some random pics and try to get feeling about them.


Osaka Jo-castle:

One of the few sightseens in Osaka, the best place where I visited in city. I went there two times, first time alone since girls were busy dancing, the second time with them.

First time the day time (sorry about nature art stuff ;) but it's pretty beautiful right?)





Second time, doing the spider pig from simpsons (ADIDAS BE HAPPY FOR REPPING!!!)




Girls and The Main Man



Another nice place to visit is DEFINETLY Kyoto city, it's about 45min from Osaka by train. Japan's ex-capital. A lot of old school temples and shrines.. I went there 3 times. First time for a club, Second time for tourist stuff and third time legendary popper Seen and Chiho (Thanks very much for everything, you are beautiful people, I look forward for yall to come in Finland!!) showed us places, well basicly we just shopped that time but anyway :)


Ok so..
On the way to Kyoto.. (with brand new used Sigma 10-20 mm widescreen objective :) )

Yeah, the first time I went to Kyoto for club at daytime with Yemppa. My man Hongou from HEX BEX had a showcase there with HEX BEX & XXX LARGE. I didnt intend to stay there for a night party but then i decided to do so afterall. Yemppa went back to Osaka for a house club tho. Anyway the night was coo !

Beautiful Kyoto in the morning




After Clubs & breakfasts I took train back to hostel and another usual day was completed when I got back to crib at 9.30 AM. Anniina was soo sweet that she wasn't even sleeping since she knew I was coming. So there she was, awake, waiting for me :).

Next day was 'Cross Over' event, The event that ends the year at Alley-Oop dance school.. I was prepared to sleep max 3 hours, since I knew girls would have a showcase there and I COULDNT MISS IT, since I MISSED THE PREVIOUS in 'Female trouble' event and the GIRLS WOULD KILL ME IF I MISS THIS ONE TOO!

So, next post will be about it, keep coming!!

PZ!

Japan vol.1

Holllerr & Merry Christmas!

The Christmas in Japan isn't like in Finland + I guess we have to postpone celebrating christmas since girls want to take part to dance classes. Sad!

First week of japan has been pretty busy.
I was out about 6/7 days. Alot of funkstyles as expected but I haven't seen bboying.

Too many pictures to add now while girls are eating basic japanese food: rice, tofu, udon & miso soup. I ate a Quarter Pounder Meal in McDonald's. Yesterday there was 3 block queue to get that meal. Japanese are crazy.


Next Pictures are from Guda Guda 2008 Finals, 2 vs 2 Allstyle freestyle battle:
