new interview feature with Roxrite by Strife.tv (Loan - Daniel - KBE - ManOfGod) Spanish subtitles by: / onthegroundorg filmed at Outbreak 7 The Bboy Spot ORLANDO, FL - USA December 2011
Yeah if I was Rox I would be so tired of hearing that too. If you study the roots of bboying and how it was done by the founders, roxrite is pretty much the perfect bboy.
Rox, dude you're a boss. I used to be a hardcore powerhead and i've been working on my footwork, freezes, and transitions nonstop over the last few months and my style is so much cleaner and smoother. even powerheads should know footwork just to understand the origins of bboying. Thanx Roxrite for showing me the light.
Are u kidding me? Roxrite has easy sets? He dances like a pro... His sets are beasts and his musicality is incredible. One of the most enjoyable bboys to watch.
Roxrite is not only footwork and freeze. He has mad power. And the fact that he is so well rounded is the reason why he won BC one. He's got mad flavor and he can get technical! Keep educating and rockin' right roxrite!
this guy always inspired me to bboy since day one. and i liked the fact that he didnt like to follow the fad of how most people percieved bboying as a whole. rocking right 24/7 i wish that one day i meet this man in person. much love and respect - Neil Soulstice Philippines
Dope interview! "Where I come from, you had to be original. You had to come up with your own little moves. It doesn't matter if it's a big move. It has to be a dope original concept." Much props and respect to Roxrite. He's always been super-creative with his. -Midus
today is a great day because I understood one more thing in breaking: it does mean a lot about the way you come into a freeze, transitions are very important I never considered that for all my 6 years of trainings and battles and realized it just now since 2007
Roxrite waking up the haters! Much respect to you, a true original bboy, that has always stayed true to himself and the dance and not tried to conform to a popular image of what a some people think is an dope bboy with flashy moves. Roxrite style is always smooth and clean but his real skill is in making technical and difficult transitions with freezes look easy.
@bboyariel1 Actually, that is how I thought, too, ten years ago first watching him. But like you said, the more we learn about this dance, the more we see how silly we were in thinking that way. Roxrite's dance is more complex than many people think. Thank you for keeping an open mind. -Daniel (strife)
I'm a powerhead but I love watching Roxrite. Guy is amazingly clean, his name is fucking dope and you know bboying then you also know he fucking deserves that name. I highly doubt many if any non-bboys will even get through this video. Even fewer would even know that Roxrite started out in power and tricks when he entered his first comp and lost. What he does now is what every bboy should do... Learn all that you can do, memorize it all and do it as best as you can. Respect.
What some people may not realize is that Roxrite has flares, halos, headpins, 90s, etc. He can do those things, he actively chooses not to, so he can do original stuff that sets him apart. A true master of the dance.
Are there really people that can't appreciate Roxrite's style. I saw him as a total scrub who knew barely anything about the dance and even back then, i knew he was something special.
Thanks to Strifetv for doing this interview and posting it. I think Strifetv has provided a lot of the most meaningful bboy content on the internet. I really liked Roxrite quoting Ken Swift, I haven't thought of that before, but it is true. Bboy footwork are nearly exclusive to bboying, and therefore should be held in high regard.
Roxrite, much respect! been looking up to you since 2003. That's what it's all about is the execution of the moves and how u present it. you honestly did deserve the redbullbcone 2011 title...you brought out yourself in your moves naturally and not just the moves itself...that's expression! keep on rocking Roxrite and to all the other bboys too :)! Respect!
this is why we need to know our history. not just the OG's from back in the very beginning, but from the 90's all the way up to now. im still a young kid (only 17, about to be 18 in a few months) but how i was taught, i had to know the history and foundation first. i think its a matter of yourself growing inside the culture. strife.tv and roxrite are protecting this culture. respect to both!

This is mad inspirational, honestly roxrite is one of my fav bboys he has so much style and skill. and honestly ive only been breakin for 2 years but ive learned this lesson, and i saw my boy kid david getting it in there for a bit!
Roxrite you the man bro, I use to be one of those dudes blinded by power & tricks but over the years i started to understand the foundation of breaking and began to really appreciate dance, music, and all cultures & expressions. Its a beautiful thing man
tell em ! tell em roxrite !!! man i hate how everythings power and flash now days mainstream crowd barely makes a noise for technical footwork i love that techy shit
Amen! im not goin to lie, this is gotta be the realest video i have seen by far. Much respect to roxrite doing his thing, and keeping the true foundation of a B-boy alive.
There is no bboy at all that is like Roxrite or has Roxrite style. I have mad respect and love for Roxrite. He's 30 and he's not gonna let his age affect what he loves to do. He's not like any other bboy. He doesn't always do footwork and he's not a powerhead. His style is so unique that no other bboy has. He's a true bboy. Being different makes you stand out. Being creative is what everybody in general should do. Think outside the box, break the rules , reach for the sky. Roxrite , mad bboy
@Beanrocka Nah, they are our friends out in Barcelona, who we will be visiting in April. We will try and have Spanish subtitles for every major interview in the future!
Roxrite is the biggest inspiration! I started to bboying because of him and now i am a more complete dancer. HipHop with bboy elements. Big Respect Roxrite. Originality!
@TheRealness95 hey rox, being watching you stuff lately and at about 2 year experience im understanding and fully appreciating the original bboy foundation thanks to footage of your workshops because we honestly have about 40 bboys in ireland and i have had no teacher at all.. when i recover from my operation im going to work on what ive neglected.. if your ever passing our small isle man drop down to spread some knowledge would def get a great reception..peace man
i hope you'll understand spanish: este es el comentario mas maduro que encontre en RU-vid felicidades hermano y tienes mis respetos, greetings frm Bolivia
@smeerios Lil G is at a respectable level and I feel he knows himself that Roxrite deserved it. The one dislike was clearly from the poster that Strife put on blast in this video. Great video! Always look forward to new Strife videos in my news feed.
its not always about dynamic moves..its always about foundations, musicality and flow..all the others are just to make you more explosive and hard to beat for sure!! go roxrite!! cant wait to see you here again in dubai uae! peace!!
I never cared much for roxrites style, for me he lacked the energy that is essential to bboying. However watching this made me realize that he is orginal and that he has achieved all of his success with his originality and he deserves my respect. Much props
I can't really see how roxrite wins so many jams, but ppl more qualified than me have said that roxrite is one of the greatest/ deserved to win the jams that he did. I will keep learning this dance until I can understand what he is doing. no doubt it is difficult.
For me Roxrite is a awseom BBoy ! I don't know why there are so many People hatin on him but unlike other Bboys he have his own Style and this makes him so unique.
@SwirvCross It's hard to replicate the movements of any well known bboy; trying to replicate what roxrite does wouldn't necessarily help me understand the difficulty of what he does, when there are so many bboys that I would also fail to replicate; how would I be able to compare?
People that rip ROX, and only want to see power simply don't understand this art... and that's not a dis on cats with dope power... most of the BBoys at BCOne level that have power have mad style too... but at the end of the day ROX is RITE ... Footwork, Tops, Funky Freezes, Flow... that's the soul of this dance. Thank God there are enough BBoys and BGirls around the world that get it and preserve it. Peace to the world wide B-People family.
@strifetv I suggest subtitles in What my grinds my gears, specially interview Dj Skeme, I think the community needs Know about it, I mean people talk in spanish, So I hope you can do it, please. Esto esta muy bueno...PAZ
For a little wile i had bboy Ivan as my break teacher and always always he said to do your own thing, put flavor into your moves and be you in bboying. Show a little of the "ohhs and ahhs" but its about the basic moves which you innovate and originate upon. Roxrite, truly respected peace!
dis vid cmpletely changed my attitude twrds him.. m a big fan of neguin bt wt he told is absolutely rite.. v r frgetting d main bboying... respect - bboy roxrite.. u deservd 2 b a champion..
pero q increible verdad es la q se expone en este video... nunka crei q alguien en este mundo pudiece ver el b-boying asi como io lo veo... muxas personas dentro de "este mundo" aun q son mui buenos, no ven la esencia del arte q encierra incluso mostrandose en publoko... es desir .... es algo q se esconde ante tus ojos... pero solo por incomprencion... por falta de capacidad de entender... es algo q no se ve por q no lo kieren ver... por q se conforman con la obasion i admiracion de la jente
I might not be the best known bboy and havent been doing it extremely long but when i practice i always take these concepts to mind even before i watched this video im serious about my practice and having it clean then i add some style an power, shoutouts to Roxrite from Atlanta, Georgia, S.N. - I challenge you to a battle :)
much respect, and much love to BBOY ROXRITE. The bboy that proves we don't need to do airflares, windmill, or headspins. he makes the footwork is the main part of all. and that's why he wins Red Bull BC one
