This year I made a brave decision to run the very first ‘WA Junior Breaking Champs’. To be honest I was really nervous and wasn’t sure how it was going to be, but I knew it was something that needed to happen. I contacted a good friend of mine by the name of Airrico and we partnered up to do it!

I’ve run events in the past. One of which was a huge scale event sponsored by Red Bull which attracted Hip Hoppers from all over the planet. But this one was different. This one had no crazy cameras, smoke or lights. It was a real grass roots community event.

This was an event purely to help cultivate the youth in WA that love Breaking and Hip Hop culture. We had competitors from as far as the Pilbara taking part, who had driven 16 hours to be there.

It was an incredible feeling to see kids I’d been teaching for the past 3 years, finally get a chance to showcase their skills at a real deal event, in front of a crowd including their family and friends. Fellow judge Pepito also had many students entered in the event, one of which ended up taking out the 10-12 year old section.
