every clip i've seen of ivan he's so energetic, his style is beyond that of current standards. quick and energetic till the end of every battle. k-mel and him went at it and even on that clip when ivan was injured he was superfast. not that speed is a determining factor of how good your bboy skill is, just saying he's fast is all.
Thats my boy!!!! Ivan is not even trying. Ive seen him go all out in person. I played in a band for ivan a few years ago.He is a humble dude....Much respect to you ivan.
HISTORICAL VIDEO of a challenge of two super powerful stimulating and original bboys, a lot of them have been handed down. DEFINITELY ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN HAVE SAVED IT in their folder.
Dude, this battle was from about 1998-1999. And it's 2009 now, that's nine to ten years. This video was not from 2006, because I used to watch this on napster back when I was in middle or high school, and I'm 24 now.
Ah man i remember watching this clip, but it never spurred me to trying out bboying, i was like 13 when i saw this clip....man i wish i started back then...
I love this joint Iron Monkey does where he polishes the ground with his shirt right, then he get's up and pretends to get ready to rock then "Slips" - That was just off the chain. Between 3:30 and 3:40. A little thing, but slick lol. I will still say this though, Ivan had more moves and more energy and remained solid through and through - Which is why dude takes this battle EASY.
That "white dude" isn't even white, he's latin, and he's not being arrogant, he's being confident, a big part of bboying as a dance. You could do the most amazing moves, but if you look unconfident, it takes away from the essence of the dance.
yeah i used to watch it also around 2004 and 2005...and i know its age is longer than the time i saw it..from its video quality and how the people looks like in the video ..
the first tune is a classic mix by (i'll kick myself when i remember who, maybe one of big apple productions 12's) but it's mixing the guitar break of James Browns 'get up,get into it,get involved', the 'watch me now' and 'peace will come' bits from jimmy castor bunch 'it's just begun' and the beat from james Browns 'give it up turn it loose' i am the keeper of the sacred knowledge and i have spoken .....
I got to slap hands with ivan and say what up in Modesto when he came back to town for the last Motown Boogie Down that came through, i forget what number it was....shit was iLL as fuck though, a Living Legend.
Respect I hope all this dancing has a pension and they put away for that old age when their bodies can't bust a move anymore. But it does take skill to hit this.
marcosg galvan The Pension is a lifetime of love of hiphop. Most bboys/bgirls have more than one skill. Look up crazy granma if ya wanna see people continuing through ''age''. Peace, Bgirl Dash
I remember watching this before there was youtube... It took me the entire day to download.
Ares galaxy?!
The first Breakdance Video which got me into the Game, this was and is still awesome!!
Ivan is the man he inspired so many ppl one of the best pure dancers iv ever seen

ivan wit the classic double toe touch
This is one of the battles from the deleted scenes of THE FRESHEST KIDS (2002)
used to watch this every day back in high school..where's the time gone?
Dude, this battle was from about 1998-1999.
And it's 2009 now, that's nine to ten years. This video was not from 2006, because I used to watch this on napster back when I was in middle or high school, and I'm 24 now.
Man, i started breaking in 2008.....it is now 2024....time flies.
the first battle i ever watched.
Ah man i remember watching this clip, but it never spurred me to trying out bboying, i was like 13 when i saw this clip....man i wish i started back then...
Ivan is the GOAT
this vid is ill!
btw, whats that song on the beginning? my father used to scratch with this but i never knew the title :\.
same here! oldskooool
Ivan the most complete breaker.
I love this joint Iron Monkey does where he polishes the ground with his shirt right, then he get's up and pretends to get ready to rock then "Slips" - That was just off the chain. Between 3:30 and 3:40. A little thing, but slick lol. I will still say this though, Ivan had more moves and more energy and remained solid through and through - Which is why dude takes this battle EASY.
Bboy IVAN is a monster with much control
OLD SKOOL ROCKZ!
Does anyone know the name of the last song? (after the battle dance, 5:51)
We all want to know about that good hip hop song
Dope!
Why didn't Ivan do his classic windmills?
damn its in 1999. freaking 10 years ago and their killing it
yes, it's one of his moves. And this was an old clip, if you watch one from maybe around 2001, he has the move down a lot better.
@ 2:32......Fuuuuuuuuck! That was dope!
That "white dude" isn't even white, he's latin, and he's not being arrogant, he's being confident, a big part of bboying as a dance. You could do the most amazing moves, but if you look unconfident, it takes away from the essence of the dance.
Whats the name of song that starts at 5:55? Please answer! Peace!
no dats his bboy attitude. Hes raw and fierce and so are a lot of other bboys.
I had liked Ivan and now continues to enjoy the same speed so it is in motion dance
Iron Monkey very good too but he crashed so much. Ivan the winner.
He judges a lot of big name bboy competitions like Red Bull BC One 2008.
nice
0:54 LOOL WTTFF!!? LOOOL!!
ivan insured my favoritism
first battle I even seen back in 2006
Daniel Light Me too brother..
True 02 is new school, old school is 82
man ivan looks like hes in fast foward
yeah i used to watch it also around 2004 and 2005...and i know its age is longer than the time i saw it..from its video quality and how the people looks like in the video ..
whats the name of the first song?
is it a remix? i heard "it's just begun" in it, then more songs..
iron monkey is wack wen it comes to a pose at the end, *stand up look down.*
the first tune is a classic mix by (i'll kick myself when i remember who, maybe one of big apple productions 12's) but it's mixing the guitar break of James Browns 'get up,get into it,get involved', the 'watch me now' and 'peace will come' bits from jimmy castor bunch 'it's just begun' and the beat from james Browns 'give it up turn it loose'
i am the keeper of the sacred knowledge and i have spoken .....
Who's the deejay 🔥
2020 here

Anybody know the name of the song when the flyer comes up at the end?
The Bruce Deeuoukayeey Dominating Force
I got to slap hands with ivan and say what up in Modesto when he came back to town for the last Motown Boogie Down that came through, i forget what number it was....shit was iLL as fuck though, a Living Legend.

Respect I hope all this dancing has a pension and they put away for that old age when their bodies can't bust a move anymore. But it does take skill to hit this.
marcosg galvan The Pension is a lifetime of love of hiphop. Most bboys/bgirls have more than one skill. Look up crazy granma if ya wanna see people continuing through ''age''. Peace, Bgirl Dash
