^ That's what proxies are for.

Just stick some US proxy(search for one in google) into your network connection options, and that usually works.

But I don't think they're showing it on the website anyways. :/

Kept forgetting to watch it, so I watched the routine highlights that they do have on the website, which is 30s from each. But just from what I saw, Kaba's routine was fucking SICK! I almost never say that word, but that's really the only word that comes to mind.
And I enjoyed everything I saw, and from those clips everyone brought some of their best. And

@ BreakSk8's airflares. They got better, but I still say they need to get rid of those skates and show how they really dance before I can really give them any props.

They'll probably replay it on TV again so I gotta remember to set an alarm or something. Need to get me some TiVo/DVR when Season 3 comes around.

anyone catch the VMA stuff last night?

Kaba's routine was sick as always. FP's routine was fun and awesome as always. its so hard to choose between those two!! two pretty different style, but both are so awesome. anyway, i didnt watch the actual VMAs to see who won the preshow battle, but from what I heard FP took it.

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #162 on:** September 09, 2008, 02:14:46 AM »

saw it on youtube. Thought Fanny Pack was the better on the pre-show thing but Kaba Modern were still awesome as always. Yeah the difference in style really makes them hard to compare.

FP won but they didn't actually do anything on the show... though Rihanna's dancers were pretty much them so.

I saw it last night, both crews did a awesome job. I was rooting for fanny pak the whole time

. I loved how the guys was running down the stairs screaming, while the ladies was all calm and cool.

OO thanks for the list of crews Mocha! I'm assuming there are no live auditions this time? I'm glad Team Millennia got in this time, my brother says they're pretty good and from I saw last time , they were xD. Hopefully this season is just as good as the last two

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #166 on:** January 13, 2009, 07:40:13 AM »

nice. Quest, most of them were in the same crew as my cousin's boyfriend's hip-hop dance crew. There's a hot girl in there too from what I remember, unless she was just their friend. A couple of them also made it pretty far on Do You Think You Can Dance.

Beat Freaks seem like veterans in the industry.

Watched Boxcuttuhz for the first time, probably my favorite so far, their style is just sick.

One of the worst things about the format of this show is that they probably cut a bunch of dope crews from the auditions to add more variety and have people from different regions. Cause really, all bias aside, there are too many dope crews from the west coast that some of those crappy crews from other regions would beat them out.

MochaNutz · « **Reply #167 on:** January 13, 2009, 08:26:58 PM »

Rino Nakasone from Beat Freakz is pretty sexy. I saw a pic of this new girl in TM as well, looked pretty cute. And i just saw that Lydia Paek is on Boxcuttuhz. She's an asian singer i found out about on youtube. Pretty cool

Yea, I recoginized that Hok guy in Quest. I don't watch So You Think... but I happened to see his second audition for the show, and it seemed like he was a fan favorite/

I'm watching the premiere, and all I have to say it that it looks pretty good so far.

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #169 on:** January 16, 2009, 03:17:55 PM »

Best season hands down. There was not one crew I thought was particularly bad and thought every crew brought something.

Highlight of the show for me was hillbilly boy slapping that girl's ass.

You can tell they didn't really hip-hop dance though. Out there in the boonies probably their only exposure was popular media. I do hope they use this show to learn cause they are super good at what they do.

TM gets points for the Head Automatica... but didn't use the song enough. :/ They didn't really impress me with that "new" style though. Good but nothing new I thought.

I had my doubts about Fly Kicks but I loved them. Not your average "Sexy Girl" crew. First of their kinds I thought really deserved to be on the show.

GOP was good, but they really aren't that strong of a crew.

And Boxcuttuhz get big ups from me. They pretty much embody everything I love about hip-hop dance. There was no way Dynamic Edition could have beat them. But it was probably all for the show.

Beat Freaks. Awesome, but for an all girl group... there wasn't any hotness... >_>

Quest, dope as always.

Strikers were cool, but I wonder about later on with the challenges.

And Main Event were just crazy

tenkei · « **Reply #170 on:** January 16, 2009, 10:24:19 PM »

Strikers - nice energy, cool to see a new style on the show

Beat Freaks - shit, finally an all female crew that can stand up with the male breakers

GOP - came nice with the salsa style, but overall kinda weak, a little slow and soft

QUEST - fucking great. they have a little bit of everything, just a really great set.

Fly Khicks - a little sloppy imo, but still good. at least theyre not like last years dance team

Ringmasters - wtf... shit was crazy, but i didnt really like them. reminds me too much of status quo, not enough dancing and too much circus shit... but i gotta say their prop work was good.

Boxcuttuhz - they do the kind of style i like most with the intricate choreography plus a cool theme/theatrical thing to it

Dynamic Edition - woah, i didn't i was gonna like them, but i thought it was cool. like sits said, you can tell hip-hop isnt their forte, but i liked how they injected it into their clogging and were actually able to pull it off. and they were hella clean and their formations were tight as hell

TM - i was upset when they didnt make it last season so i was happy to see them this year. cool stuff, you can tell they can do a lot of different shit.

overall i think QUEST and Boxcuttuhz are the top. Beat Freaks will be the crew to watch out for and I'm excited to actually see what Dynamic Edition can do... It'll be interesting to see what some of these crews boasting new styles can do with the challenges. This is for sure the most well rounded season. I don't think Fly Khicks should've beat GOP in the sudden death... they were a little soft in their set, but I thought they did well in the dance off

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #171 on:** January 17, 2009, 02:11:44 AM »

Oh yeah ring masters.. I knew there was something weird when I saw MainEvent up there.

Actually thought Fly Khicks's battle set was better than GOP's, and better than their original set. It just had more energy and even added lots of tricks to their style. GOP was good, but they're average fair for a bboy crew. Nothing wowed me other than them being from the streets of PR. Just about any bboy can salsa, SC did it. Put them head on against another bboy crew like Quest or SuperCr3w, and they'll get destroyed.

MochaNutz · « **Reply #172 on:** January 18, 2009, 01:15:28 AM »

My takes on the crews =)

First, this is the most versatile season yet. I thought it was gonna be wack when i heard they were looking for more different styles, but thats definitely not the case.

Strikers - Stepping is cool. It's like Stomp the Yard =P

Beat Freaks - pretty good, i was actually expecting more breaking from them, but i was surprised with more dancing. Do you find it unfair tho that a lot of them have danced professional already tho? I still love Rino =P

G.O.P. - yawn. Glad they're out.

Quest - pretty dope. I thought their audition was kinda weak, but they brought it on ep 1.

Fly Khicks - again, i thought they were gonna be the Sassx7 cheerleaders of season 3. I'm glad i was wrong =) I like sexy dance moves.

Ring Masters - Is this considered dancing? It's cool and freaky and all, but... it feels like a circus act. I have a feeling i'm gonna get tired of "Flexing".

Boxcuttuhz - I really hope boxcuttuhz do well. I'm don't think they have much charisma though, and i don't like that nerd theme.

Dynamic Edition - i was impressed by them. But i agreed with the judges, they need more HIP HOP!

Team Millennia - meh. They're good, but i dunno... I don't really like this new Rock Theme they're going for.

If i were to predict now, its Quest vs. Beat Freaks

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #173 on:** January 18, 2009, 01:47:41 AM »

Well, Ring Masters did some hip-hop dance around the contortions, and all the contortions were on beat and choreographed according to the music. It's a new style so it'll grown into it's own like krumping has over the last few years, and even b-boying did.

MochaNutz · « **Reply #174 on:** January 19, 2009, 02:59:41 AM »

k, so finally watched it on tv. i'm hoping these crews can offer more than what we've seen. I don't want teams to fall back on their gimmicks and styles on every show.

re: ringmasters, sure i guess so. Seeing other flexing videos, it looks like a more tighter/closer modification of popping with arms in weird places, and using your hat. Ringmasters was more like, "look at me, i can dislocate my shoulders!".

MochaNutz · « **Reply #175 on:** January 23, 2009, 05:48:13 PM »

watched the 2nd ep on watchabdc.com =P

Boxcuttuhz, yeah... my overall feeling is that they weren't ready for ABDC.
Thats the Team Millennia people are familiar with =)
I'm still not feeling RingMasters, but i like em better than the last show.
Dynamic Edition was ok... didn't blow me away.
Beat Freakz was ok as well... didn't impress me like the last show.
Strikers was DOPE tho! One of my favorite teams now.
Fly Khicks... weak.
Quest was Dope as usual.

I still gotta watch it on tv to get a real feel =)

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #176 on:** January 24, 2009, 03:29:55 AM »

only watched the last part but sucks for Boxcuttuhz. I knew they were out first few seconds of their set really. It was fun, but nothing special about it. Looks like they were lost in mixing the challenge and the choreography and didn't really add any style to it, which is what I liked about them. They should've at least ditched the nerd theme. Seems they were trying too hard to be different? I dunno.

Team Millenia were good, but I thought I was watching So Real again in lots of it. Still better than last week's, which kinda gave me a poser vibe with that "rock" theme. Cause they ain't rockers.

I agree with most of what the judges said about Ring Masters.

I didn't get to see the other crews so I'll edit or post again.

My favorite for the night were the Strikers, but the whole episode didn't impress me much $:-\$

tenkei · « **Reply #178 on:** January 24, 2009, 08:34:16 PM »

Quest and Strikerz were the best for ep 2, and beat freaks was pretty good too. I'm already sick of ringmasters. im still digging the other teams, but no one else was really that impressive. I'm upset boxcuttuhz had to go

mode107 · « **Reply #179 on:** January 30, 2009, 04:22:00 AM »

So I just read that Rino from Beat Freakz in one of Gwen Stefani's former Harajuku girls

Quest Crew rocked it tonight!! I also liked the Strikerz.

and lol at Shane's White Chicks reference towards the Dynamic.
