- Artist Statement:
Here I have captured a moment in time of complete innocence, where there were not yet any competitions in the original city of Toronto, but only cyphers at underground hip hop parties (Jams). This video captures the mentality I had, when we were innocent, before my name spread across the world, before having to win over judges, before caring what other people think, before knowing that I could or one day would live from the bboy culture. We were only breakin to please ourselves, to express ourselves... To prepare and test ourselves when the real battles came, unexpectedly, but always in search of. This footage was just recently digitized off an old VHS tape of old training footage, I have decided to keep it as close to its raw, bad quality and editing feel, the same way we used to be able to watch footage back in the day. In Toronto, there was a mentality of ORIGINALITY comes first. At this time, everything I did was to build my own style, my own flow, and my own moves. I was in my own world... sometimes I wish I could go back in time, back into my own world.
This is the first of my works, a pre-trailer to my bboy career as I finish getting the rest of my footage on the digital format. The next video will be about all the moves and styles that was invented by me and my crew which many people are using the legwork and thread steps today, unaware of the names or origins of them. Stay tuned for "Points Corrected" - Krátké a kreslené filmy

THIS IS WHAT BREAKING REALLY IS. - a lot of people don't realize that even though breakin has become more popular through media giving more people access to studio space, when your forced to break in stinky basements, school hallways, the street, that is where the REAL CREATIVITY and ORIGINALITY is born ~
so much freedom and expression of creativity in his threads
It makes me sad how fulll of lies our dance has become,i miss its purity too i started in 97-98 and its really changed alot.thanks for reminding me why its still worth it
originality reigns supreme, man dyzee i remember msging you back in 2015 on facebook got so stoked that you actually responded to my question. any ways i wish i came up and said hi at lords of the floor. i just figured that wouldn't be the last time i got to see you. big fan you and puzzle really helped influenced how i bboy fr foot work and originality. i got a foot work battle this weekend I'm going to make sure to have fun and be me.
new bboys need to see this kind of foot work its not all about power.style control transition direction change flow and fun mean just as much as an airflare.ever young guy a talk to wants to learn how to airflare and i always tell them work on your 6step 1st and windmill next then after maybe theyll be ready if they havnt given up.
I feel kind of blessed at this point, I'm 2 years deep and I'm from a city where I'm part of the last crew left and I'm the son of an old skooler and we are just lookin 2 our neighbourin city 2 knock them off as such and we're just constantly training to b distinguished from them and look unique, complete innocence and interestingly I'm the only guy in both cities messin with origami threading thanks to see you dyzee peace and respect
holy shit, even back in 98' Dyzee's flow was amazing. O___O
Bboy Dyzee
My Favourite 🥰💥MAY GOD BLESS YOU
BRO
PEACE 🙏🙏🙏⭐
Hey God bless you too! Take care
1998 and this was some dope pure creative and CLEAN breaking. Cant believe you were this good even all the way back then!
Inspiration At Its Finest
im reallly happy you shared this
You are the most original Bboy i have ever seen. Big ups to you Dyzee
1998 was just about when I was starting out. I remember me and me crew were always talking about how crazy and original your style was. Surprisingly, one day after school, you dropped by to break with us. I'll never forget. I even remember that notebook filled with moves that you carried with you. I can't believe that was over 13 years ago.
At the same time I am inspired I am nostalgic. I am completely amazed at the level of creativity here and how you have managed to make connections in your artwork. I only wish there was a feel and an environment for this kind of mentality to breed as i like how artistic this is.
I've said before and I'll say it again. The true mark of an artist is a timeless essence. This style is timeless.
If I could dance like anyone it would be Dyzee. He's creative, unique, original and probably a very genuine guy in real life with an intellectual head screwed on. No Clichés needed, the video speaks for itself. Nice too see the mentality still remains even though i'm only a bboy of 3 years and have much to learn. Peace.
I clicked the like button once, but in this case, 1 = 1,000,000.
P.S. - Seriously can't wait for the next video.
I love this, thanks!
Mad inspired right now. Thanks for sharing!
your truly an inspiration to all bboys out there, thank you for this video!
you are an inspiration man... thanks for sharing
dude, im breathless, that was hectic bro. Keep it real in christ yo.
love it
yeah thats hot. i wish i documented my life starting tattoos.i went from scratching to art but toook me about 10 years to really get it. but nothing like the beginning..those were the days. ahhhhhhhhhhh.nice job.ur gonna make me cry lol...nice job dyzee keep it up.
AWESOME!
Wow, you know i remember you saying that Gizmo was one of your biggest influences, and I fully see it in this video. I fully see Gizmo in almost all of what you did in this video and i must say its incredibly impressive. you've completely made your style form it and evolved so sooo much, its really a wonderful site to see.
Bravo man, keep doing your thing Dyzee :)
Your my inspiration
Have to say that Dyzee is made the un-crowned g.o.a.t rember since clips of him around 2000 and i was just blown out of my head. seeing this today i'm just like, God Damn!
What i don't understand is, why we don't see foot work in that level.
Interesting.
And Dyzee amazing as usual :D
I dont know you, but your footwork is really nice & inspiring ! I hope i can get a footwork so dope like you !
This is hella dope! I swear.. Gotta love this. Bboy Dyzee with Bboying as his art. Dope!
wow, even in 1998, cleanliness is unreal
powerful ----->This video captures the mentality I had, when we were innocent, before my name spread across the world, before having to win over judges, before caring what other people think
Looks like a lot of megas inspired moves. Anyway this is dope how dyzee showed originality by putting his spin on the moves. Respect
Really wonderful footage, and it's clear that you've kept true to your style, so I'm not really sure if the pre-fame stuff matters. You've got nothing to prove and even a "famous" bboy ain't that famous. It's not like you're Tom Brady or Tiger Woods, and even if you were that famous, bboys still go to jams and hang out. I'm pretty sure you'll always be one of us, except that you had more talent and worked harder. Respect.
dyzee has been original since day 1
that gives me the envy to train harder and harder !
Agree with you bro.
I feel like I'm still in that world now. Never really wanted to win, just wanted to bboy cuz it was a hell of a good time. Never concerned with getting the craziest power combo or blow up. Creating moves and Footwork for me all day, cuz it's what pleases me the most. True inspiration Dyzee! Or Kuya Karl xD
Hey Dyzee, I remembered you and started looking up clips of you here on CZcams. Nice footage!
I wonder if you still remember me. I'm Hugo / Bboy Force, that guy who sent you a bunch of good songs on MSN, and we had some lengthy online convos about theory and flow concepts. We've met at Scarborough Town Center and Sherbourne practices several times. You really are the most memorable bboy from here. I hope things are going well for you in Korea!
nice
Wow I love this style !!!
Did you keep this style today or did it change ?
omfg he is amazing
Shout out to Karl !! He grew up in our neighbourhood I got footage of him breaking in 94 dude is beast !! Clarkson Toronto canada native !!
Crazy hyungggg
Me and Megas were partners when he was in Supernaturalz before he joined Boogie Brats, so of course we were inspired by each other.
Man. Ur mah inspiration of style and threading man, you the best and you were from toronto before and i was at saskatchewan we pretty much close XD. and hey im filipino too. i hope will meet sometimes. PEACE yoo
the world to open their eyes and each seek their world, respect nigga, thanks for sharing.

@dyzeesupernaturalzzz Bishop Marrocco at the corner of Dundas W. and Bloor
thumb me if u guys saw few of his works done by the other bboys in nowadays bboying scene
yo dyzee! whats the name of the song? ;D
im confused , did toronto bboys came with this style or was it benji of france ?, sorry for the stupid and insulting question
Qubbit0 thread styles as a way of fancing came from Toronto. however benji innovated a lot of trick threads
Dyzee Diaries thank you for clarifying , btw so excited that u actually replied
@aekoldngy RJD2 - Smoke & Mirrors peace from polen :*
Inspires me to dance more and more if I cold spend a day with you it wold be amazing or see you one day wold be amazing
@marv002 @dyzeesupernaturalzzz what's the name of the song plz :D
Supernatual
@dyzeesupernaturalzzz Ahh very interesting!! i guess great minds think alike then huh, you crazy filipinos you XD
hehe, i started breaking around this time, but never even knew who you were. your name was a myth in my area as well.
Nice moves...but i think the song doesnt match the moves. Should have used the original audio!
