ACDC! Not just a band..

but a dance crew. ACDC stands for the adam-chu dance crew. Jon M. Chu is the director of Step Up 2 and Adam Sevani ( whom i love so very much) is his close friend that plays the not-so-far-out-of-character nerd in the movie who can actually dance. Jon, the leader of the crew, has made a youtube page with their videos. The members, ranging from people who saw the videos and sent in their own to be recruited, pros like adam and madd chad (robotic genius of dance), and celebrities like adam sandler, lindsay lohan, jabbawokkies, and many more make up this crew. From breakdancing to popping, spinning and more, they are one of, or perhaps the favorite real life crew of my choice. 

                    A few months ago, Jon saw the miley and mandy show. For those of you who don't know i'm talking about the horribly annoying Miley Cyrus and her friend Mandy. Jon saw a video and challenged them to the biggest only dance battle in history. There has been video posting wars going on for 2 to 3 months. Than, even though M&M crew was just using other dancers to do their work for them and making it flashy with more celebrities, they decided to bring it live.... to the teen choice awards. They battled, and the audience voted but because Miley was the host of the program, her crew won. Now i most point out her and mandy didn't do any real dancing! Only the rest of their "crew" did. But anyway, despite the lose, I needed to bring this dance crew to your attention.

Alright, here is some of what ACDC can do. Follow the videos and you'll love jon, adam and the rest just as i do. : ) 

Now, if you liked that, head to Jon Chu's youtube page (or give me a clicky) and watch more ACDC dance videos. 

                                                      are YOU down with the ACDC?

Robo Trippin'

                    Is it a dance? Is it a genre of techno? No and no. It is on the news though. 

                   

                  So apparently it seems that some teenagers are so desperate to get high now that they are using cough medicine from their houses and over dosing on it. They call it "robo" from robitussin (cough medicine). And trippin is self explanatory. Now, this has

been going on for a while now. Lots of people knew about it. Now, out of no where, 

the news decides to pick this up as though this is a new fad, and they haven't even told 

us anything most people don't already know, except its official name.

  Now the saddest part to me is (for starters) some teenagers are so desperate 

to either get high, get attention, and or fit in that they are turning to their medicine  

cabinets and over dosing on something as simple as cough syrup. Now the second 

saddest thing is that other people are seeing these videos and actually following! You'd

think they would see the flaw for intelligence in the concept and not try it. But instead

they see the humor, and the popularity. And they know that people will say "wow, you

actually did that!?!" and they know it will win them what they want the most. Attention.

They won't recognize that thats what they really want at first, but they'll see it 

eventually. It is just simply unwise and ridiculous. Anther poor aspect of this is the

amount of people following and how easy it is to both get high on normal medicine

for them and watch videos of it. If you went to youtube right now and type in "robo

trippin" you'll find dozens of videos capturing the chronicle of these kids doing this. 

Sad, but true. Well thats my interesting story of the day.

uhh, crack is whack!

Wall-E for Real?

Who is this handsome fellow spotted on the streets of L.A? Could it be.... Waaaaaaall-E?

                               Believe it or not, this adorable thing isn't the real one, composed of CGI. BUT! He is just as fun to watch and wish for! Too bad he isn't for sale, he'd be worth a million. : )

                                                                    wishing for my own Wall-E,

umm..

Not most to  post on today my fellow bloggers. Me and Sasha (my ripstick if you aren't a steady reader) went out this morning and tried the hang ten again. i can get my back foot to the middle of the board but i just can't get it over to the front panel. Well, correctly at least.

Though one trick anyone can do, though is a load of fun is riding the ripstick sitting. I mentioned this before. All you do is place your rear end a little before the tail of the board and your two feet on the nose over the black foot grips. and push of with your hands. Its a blast trying to steer. 

*CAUTION: May not be safe to attempt this on a busy street *

For more advanced tricks, watch here and be amazed. 

                                                   Enjoy!

Ripsticking (the next level)

So lately i've been yearning to learn tricks on Sasha, now that i know how to ride her. I am currently trying to learn how to "Hang Ten" on sasha, in other words ride with both feet on the nose of the board. You are supposed to gradually move your foot upwards on the board until they are together. As simple as this boy makes it seem, it takes more effort than is shown. 

As far as trying to hang ten, the only other trick i know so far is riding sasha sitting down. 

                                                                Always keeping you posted,

                                                                              ---BuTtOnS*****
