The B-Boy Allstars and Rapid Fire
Hype Magazine
editIn 1989, Broke and Seiz started a hip hop magazine called Hype, primarily focusing on graffiti and B-Boying.[1]
B-Boying
editThe B-Boy Allstars
editBBoy Broke, Seiz and Rely were members of The B-Boy Allstars bboy crew. Rely was also a member of Cyber Force[2] crew. In 1992, The B-Boy Allstars were Series Three Dance Champions of Star Search,[3][4] a Channel Ten talent show which began in 1991, hosted by Jeff Phillips and later Mike Hammond[5]. In 1998, The B-Boy Allstars performed at the Fresh Air Kasino and Shaun Caulfield exhibition at Brisbane Institute of Art along with DJ Katch[6].
Rapid Fire
editIn the early days of bboy culture, prior to the rise in popularity of the internet, posting videotapes of bboying techniques was a good way for different crews to share their moves with those overseas. In 1990, a bboy crew from Bournemouth, UK called Second To None sent videotapes of themselves breaking to Rapid Fire and Battle Squad in Germany.[7]
Seiz and Exit performed at BBoy Kingdom One, and Seiz performed at BBoy Kingdom Two in 1996 in Brisbane.[8]
In 2000, Rapid Fire competed for Australia in the international Battle of the Year bboy competition held at the Preussag Arena, next door to Expo 2000 World Fair in Hannover, Germany. The German crew 'Flying Steps' won the competition that year[9]. According to Brain Damage, there were a reported 8000-10000 people attending the event, with another 4000 viewing it on screens outside the arena[10]. Battle of the Year organizers class the year 2000 event as the biggest event in history of BOTY[11].
Exit and Seiz were entered into the Australian B-boy Hall of Fame at the 2010 Australian b-boy Championships.[12]
