B-Boy Jam in the Bay Co Sponsored by EMORTAL

October 6, 2007 Emortal went down to Milpitas, CA to support Naytron's & Jardy's sister Ruby Lynn's birthday celebration @ the Love the Life You Live- 3 vs.3 B-Boy Jam. During the middle of the event we got to see a video memorial for their sister who was a promising young woman and b-girl who suddenly passed away earlier this year. A somber moment, but I knew everyone was happy that we all got together for her.

It was great to see everyone. Emortal was invited to vend during the event. We usually don't sell directly to the public, but we did it because we always supported the b-boys and Soul Sector Family.

Emortal always paid homage to the b-boys because it was the b-boys who were one of the pioneers of streetwear fashion and lifestyle in the 70's & 80's. From the kicks and shoelaces, to how they wore their headwear and jeans, to their attitude and b-boy stance, and to b-boy culture's never ending quest to continue to evolve.

I hope you enjoy the pics I took and the video I found from YouTube. All elements of streetdance respresented. There was B-boying(breaking), popping, boogaloo, locking, and house. It was was interesting to see poppers vs. lockers vs. b-boys battle it out a jam.

This kid only has one leg and rocked the floor like no other. Tommy Gunz from the Renegades. One of the kids that inspired me that day.
