Summary: learn the history of break dancing and b-boy culture
Review: An excellent introduction and education of break dancing as a culture and art. Any one who listens to modern day urban music (hip-hop or rap, etc) should check out this DVD to understand the significance of break dancing and the beginning of it all, not only break dancing but hip-hop as well.

Summary: GOD DAMB ! THIS DVD WAS THE BOMB!
Review: anyone that wants background on bboying should get this DVD. I even learned a few things myself, and I tought I knew it all. I guess not ! It was cool to see the special features w/ the New York City Breakers, old ass mofo's !!! But hey they can still do their thang! I'm very impressed and intrigued of Crazy Legz dedciation and passion for the art, its very inspiring. I like how they had the chapter on West Coast, they even mentioned Close Encounters and Demons of the mind from the Bay Area, I grew up watching those guys at Pier 39 in Frisco, brought back some memories....... Freshest Kids dvd to bboys is like 'triumph of the nerds' dvd is to computer nerds.

Summary: Best Hip-Hop documentary (so far!)
Review: Content, Content, and more content! Some producers finally got the 'right' people to talk about an interesting and evolving movement!
If you are NOT clear what was, what is and what will be the art of B-boying; then this DVD package is a solid investment! No Hip Hop 101 in some university can do what this DVD does! I like the fact that it contains action, not just talk. But I do appreciate the fact that the people doing the talking are/were the experts. I know, because I was a part of the movement! Lot's of archival footage also! So many extras also! Order right away!

Summary: BREAK OF DAWN
Review: DIS DVD MADE ME HATE DA FACT DAT I USED TO BE A B BOY. YOU SEE, IM A CALI B BOY FROM LOS ANGELES, AND DIS VIDEO ONLY FOCUSED ON DA EAST COST. WEST COAST IS BETTER THAN EAST COAST IN EVERY WAY ESPECIALLY WIT US B BOYS! THEY FORGOT TO ADD IN A LOT OF INNOVATIVE B BOYS AND B BOY EVENTS. NOW I RESPECT KEN SWIFT, BUT ROCK STEADY HAS MIND CONTROL OVA YOU B BOYS IF YOU FOLLOW THEY RULES. DIS VIDEO GLORIFIED WHAT IS NOW GONE, ORIGINALITY. ITS TRUE DAT B BOYING IS ALL ABOUT STYLE, BUT WHO CARES IF YOU AINT FROM NEW YORK. THE ONLY CONCEPT I CAN STICK WITH IS THAT IF YOU GONNA ROCK IT, ROCK IT FRESH!

Summary: FRESH IS THE WORD...
Review: First and foremost, in a time where Hip Hop culture is mass-marketed on the strength of it's main$tream popularity, you'd be hard pressed to find a true schooler such as myself ready to endorse most of the "BS" being pimped today. That said, just when everyone thought breakin' "broke" - the "boys" are back! Being a product of Hip Hop culture as far back as the late 70's, I can honestly say this DVD is worth coppin'. Remembering too vividly most of the content in this package, the producers did a great job of capturing the B-boy story. They were also wise to include all those instrumental in B-boy culture and not some "new jacks" frontin'. Too often with Hip Hop film, OUR story is watered down like a bad drink and misrepresented. The unenlightened neglect the "true schoolers" and employ "new schoolers" to tell a story otherwise reserved for those over 30. If only for the rare footage of early B-boy masters and memorable media clips, The Freshest Kids is definitely worth the copp. After viewing this joint, you'll understand why "boys will B-boys". --James "Koe" Rodriguez

Summary: an amazing experience recorded on film
Review: I grew up in the 80's, on both coasts from the streets of Queens, Ny to San Fran, Cali. I saw firsthand b-boy culture from what i saw on the streets and my interactions with cousins who were in a west coast b-boy crew. This documentary brings you into that world and you are like a silent witness to the birth of something wonderful. Young, old, white, black..it doesn't matter...breakin can be for anyone willing to put in the time and sweat and tears to express themselves through music. Definitely worth checking out.

Summary: almost brought tears to my eyes!
Review: i have much respect for ken swift ,crazy legs,wiggles,and all the bboys who keep the dance alive.this dvd brings alot of great memories of days gone buy.dvd does justice to the hip hop community.the hip hop community should take notice of it's original roots.in 82 i started bboying and eventually it phazed out or regrouped later on.it was the most exciting time in my life.i always had a passion for bboying but everyone over here in states thought it was a fad but in reality it was the beginning of things to come.i'm 35 years old and this video has given me inspiration to bboy again and start from scratchwho knows you'll probably see me in a circle very soon.

Summary: Cop this documentary IMMEDIATELY !!!
Review: I have only this to say about this documentary....an MEGA-MASTERPIECE TO THE HIGHEST SUPREME !!! Much love and respect to all the old school b-boys that haven't
gotten the proper recognition that they should have gotten and should be getting right now. These b-boys put so much hard work, soul, and dedication into their talent not because of the $$$$$$$$$ that most of these sloppy half-steppin rappers that are out today polluting the game, but because of one quinessential reason...FOR THE LOVE OF HIP-HOP !!! Kool Herc, Afrikka Bambataa, Grandmaster Flash, Crazy Legs, Ken Swift, JoJo, Mr. Freeze, Frosty Freeze, N***A Twins, Spy, and KRS-One...KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING AND CONTINUE TO PREACH THE PURE REALISM OF TRUE HIP-HOP TO THE NEW BREED!!!
