The Origin of The Suburbaknightz Crew

Hey all! This is bboy N-dure of the Suburbaknightz Crew. With much discussion with bboy Blu-Jay, we decided to make a blog in order to dedicate it to the crew and the crew members! This will be the place for us to post videos or share some interesting life experiences. In other words, this will be, hopefully, the ultimate archive of the Suburbaknightz! Well, what blog doesn't start out with a little introduction? :P With that in mind, let's begin our journey with the history of the Suburbaknightz.

It all started out as a little idea in preparation for the annual jam known as the IL BREAK 7. It was hosted by the bboy club unique to the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign known as Floor Lovers Illinois, or FLI for short. Needless to say, Blu-Jay and I started to formulate a battle plan in order to participate in this event. However, because the battle was in 5 vs 5 crew format, we were short in numbers.

Then the idea of bringing back our old high school bboy buddies that we still keep in touch with struck both of us. Through several phone calls and facebook posts/messages, we were finally able to get the nominees together during winter break.With 5 simultaneous agrees, the Suburbaknightz Crew was born. The crew members are bboy Akimbo, bboy Ink Motionz, bboy Justinian, bboy Satori, bboy Smash, bboy Blu-Jay, and myself.

A crew definitely needs a crew T-shirt to represent! Thankfully, our very own Ink Motionz was able to put his artistic talent to use! He skillfully designed the crew shirts, which we worn to IL BREAK 7!. Gotta say, you got mad talents bro! I foresee a huge success in your future since it is your major XD Anyways, after several complications over the shirts, we were able to get the shirts delivered on time for the battle.

On April 10, 2010, the Suburbaknightz battled for the first time as a crew. It was a fast paced, close call for all of us. The crew that we battled were known as Sudden Impact. Although they did not look like much of an opponent, they were definitely way better off than us in terms of fundamentals. However, with the crew working together, we were able to emerge victorious!Blow is the video recording of the actual battle! Some of us could definitely do a lot better. However, with the inexperience with battling as well as nervousness got the best of us during this battle.

As exciting as we were, we were utterly defeated in the second round >.< to South Chicago. They were definitely better than us in any aspect. But hey! We are very proud of our achievements ^_^

With the goal achieved, we are now preparing ourselves in preparation for th upcoming jams. Each of us have our unique styles and are constantly improving our skills or make new combinations or moves. We hope to achieve more!
