best break dancer and friend anyone could know!! R.I.P MY BOTHA!
Someone who innovates something, like breaking. He helped make alot of moves when he was bboying. Alot of the moves we use we're made from him.
I was fortunate enough to cross paths with Gerald as he came down from the bay w/Bboy Charles as a judge for Vegas Shakedown 12- From the brief time i spent with him, one could tell he was a real humble and kind soul. What really surprised me were the story's that him and Charles were reciting as well as the bond between both of them, one would surely have to believe they were blood brothers.
Yeah, he's not one of the first breakers, but definitely someone who helped pave the way to the moves we see now. He created the one handed hopping scissor kicks, for example. He was also one of the first to perform the airflare.
I've only been Breakin for a year now. But I researched the history of Bboying and have met many kinds of bboys. I never knew Gerald. But based on what was said about him, he would have been a guy I would have liked. R.I.P
i just wanna say thanks to StrifeTV for covering this event and supporting the great cause!! Gerald's funeral would not have been as meaningful without the prayers, help and support of the whole bboy community!!
THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!
by the way, it's an honor to make the cut!

master movements/soul movements
R.I.P. and much love
Rest in peace and love !
Wow... Great video... Him and these other bboys (crumbs Kujo jrawk Vietnam) are some of the most inspiring bboys and If I hadn't seen them in he 90's who knows where my life would be... I've been a hardcore bboy ever since... Thank god for 90's bboys and videos!
I never believed in Mandela Effect but Im having it now. I heard he died around the early 2000s so its shocking for me to see that he died in 2012. WTH, Rest in Peace, loved Gerald`s dance.
Rest In Paradise.
R.I.P !!
Rest in peace.
I liked how y'all but Kendrick lamars Sing about me it fits perfect with this.
RIP much respect
Pioneer - A person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or area.
If you know about the moves that were explored in the 90's he was one of the first handful of folks to do airflares, first to do one hand hops on one hand, first to do roll back freezes....he had alot of signature moves that only he did as well.
don't forget Wave O matic Rip!
Most note worthy would be freestyle session 1... Do you know how hard that was to get in philly??!!!! But we searched and dug and found!!!!
Gerald inspired me with hopping switch kicks. I use them in Capoeira. Thanks for your contribution Gerald! R.I.P.
If he helped pave the way for us bboys, I respect him. i never met him nor heard of him because I'm new to the bboy scene but hearing what he did, he's an amazing guy/bboy. It's unfortunate that he had to leave so early, but he did what he could in the short amount of time.
RIP GERALD .
RIP GERALD, i didnt know him personally alot of my boys did tho. Hes dope, even after the gun shot he was doing some dope stuff, caught him on video doing a one hand airflare with his leg crossed into a windmill, super clean! and other stuff too.....
can somebody tell me what is the definition of a pioneer? RIP Gerald
An originator. A pioneer is often one of the first few people who created a movement that influenced many others. Pioneer means he was there when it first began meaning he was present, a crucial part creativity that influenced many others to pursue because they were inspired by the pioneer for creating or having an ‘Original’ idea. Meaning Pioneers are Original People. They have an idea they start it. It grows tranction and other people do the same or soon follow because they like the idea or become suddenly influenced by what a group of people started. Pioneer is someone who introduces an original idea that soon becomes popular because Originators Or Pioneers Have Style. They have style pioneers have style.
