2. Syndicated Magazine TV Show featuring the N.Y.C.B.s(1983) - Bobby “Flip Rock” Potts joins the crew with a dramatic, 5 man, 6 foot high air-real flip! There’s lots of breaking mixed with interviews with the guys that will satisfy all B-boy fans. The crew reveals how they got into breaking, their warmup techniques, etc. We see them perform at Old School Hip Hop clubs in the Bronx ! This is a well produced piece for tv.

3. N.Y.C.B.s Dancing Outside of Central Park in Manhattan, NY(1982) - This is NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE footage of the crew includes the infamous electric boogie dancer, “Normski”, of “Flashdance” fame! The guys are performing for a crowd just across from the Plaza Hotel and they’re loving it! All the breakers are trying to out do each other with moves, foot work and routines! This piece goes on for a good 15 minutes! Breakdance connoisseurs will go nuts!

4. Kennedy Center Honors(1982) - This is an historic piece. The N.Y.C.B.s perform, with 10 other Breakers Lockers & Poppers, both guys and gals, in a huge, awesome routine for the President of the United States! Some of the other dancers have captured fame for themselves. Mr. Wiggles and Fable were part of this performance as was Mr. Wave, who was so impressive, we invited him to be down with N.Y.C.B. ! The routine is as complex as it is spectacular, danced to that B-boy classic “Just Begun.”

5. N.Y.C.B.s Beat Street Promo Tour(1984) - This piece is a compilation of news and talk show performances by the N.Y.C.B.s as they toured the East Coast promoting the film “Beat Street”, in which they starred. Mr. Wave, Tony Draughon, had just become an official member of the crew and they had just designed and are wearing their new uniforms! There’s one part where some local Breakers try to battle the N.Y.C.B.s and get served!

6. N.Y.C.B.s Rehearsal Footage(1982) - N.Y.C.B.s Vol. I. ends with another NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE piece of Breaking History where we see the guys working out routines and getting loose and coming up with brand new moves! It’s like “back stage” action where you can see the guys being themselves, having fun, but the piece has been edited so it’s non-stop action! And when I say NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE, I’m not joking. This is a private rehearsal tape that no one, except me, has ever seen! This piece and the rest of this Volume I.(& II.) tape can’t help but bring mad flavor/props to any serious collector of Hip Hop/Breaker videos.
