Wassup y'all this is Bboy Raye a.k.a Tricky Raye in the house !! Reppin HPDC/ Party Rockerz/ GeorgeTown Bboy(now) !! This is the 1st time I write something about my Bboy Life in my Blog, and yea its all about my Bboy history and how I start Bboying...Last time people call me Bboy Lost coz I always lost my direction ^^" after i fixed up my direction problem now my name is Tricky Raye...Why Tricky? Coz this is my character while dancing... I like to fooling people around on da floor with my style...
I Start dancing since Dec 2006, tell u guys what... shuffle is my 1st dance style !! *pom!pom!pom!pom!* LOLz... I was inspired by 1 of my friend names Edward, who younger than me and from KL... He getz alot of hot chick and become famous in da club with his pro shuffling step, so that I've decided to learn from him and trying to get hot chick like what he did in da club ><" Day by day, I starting feels boring with shuffle step. (by da way i had failed with the hot chick part T.T).
Feb 2007
- The 1st time I watch such a crazy break dancing in live !! I met Breaking Force from Penang when they have a show at my hometown - Alor Star, Kedah... watching they doing their spinning move on da floor I was like "what the Fxxk!! are they human or what?!" Its really attractive(this is sure much better way to get hot chick! LOLz). So start from that day I give up shuffling and I tell myself "I wanna be a BBOY !!"
Middle of 2007
- I knew a Bboy at my hometown through my schoolmate/buddy(also a bboy). His name is Chop a.k.a Bboy Mickey reppin plan kero crew(now). he taught me some basic stuff like six step, three step, some basic toprock and freezes, I was absolutely a beginner that time... Not much longer later, we form a crew by Chinese mix Malay - Flow Up Crew.
End of 2007
- Finished Form 5 !! hooray !!! Going to start College life in Penang soon !! But....but.... in the same time, i have to stop Bboying, coz my mum said :"Son, keep dancing is not a good idea for your future, why don't you just face the reality and stop dreaming?" Yea you know, she is my mum.... and i know, i have to stop...."
Aug of 2008
- My life is back since I have already stop Bboying for 8months !!! Bboy Stealroc a.k.a Deric reppin Giller Battle Crew/ Force 136/ Fresh Beat Rocker(now) from Penang, This guys was same college with me and he is the guys who brought my life back to me. He taught me alot of Bboy knowledge and history and he also brought me to a dance studio - Ultimaxx. I start my 1st Bboy class at there, My instructor is - Bboy Fire a.k.a Soo reppin Fresh Beat Rocker(now). Soo treat me like his son, teach me, take care of me... I was not only learning Breakin skill from him but also living skills and knowledge.
End of 2008
- A big changes of my life...After wining some competition organised by Ultimaxx, my position in studio is become more higher. Soo and Maxx(founder of Ultimaxx) ask me to be trainee and Maxx said he wanna open branch at KL, he wanna bring me along with him and training at KL. But i was still studying in college that time, so i have to make a big decision, choose either 1 between "Dancing" and "Studying". After argued with my parents, they respect my decision and promised that they will support me in financial at last...This is how I start my life in KL...
Feb of 2009
- Hello KL... four person from Penang reached KL... Me, Maxx, June - Maxx's wife(now) and Charles reppin Mustang crew/ Elecoldxhot(now). Hardcore training was start, Maxx start teaching me other element like Hip Hop, Popping, Locking and so on. I've also learn some LA style from Chriz Ooi reppin Elecoldxhot(now). Start teaching class and learn how to business a dance studio...No more focus on Bboying that time...
Jan of 2010
- After the dissolve of Ultimaxx. I back to Penang, Butterworth. the reason is my parents cant afford to support my financial in KL anymore. I need a job... i've choose to working as a full time dancer/ instructor at Hunded Percent Dance Studio(HPDS) which founded by my junior in Ultimaxx - Bboy Which One a.k.a Gano reppin HPDC/ Party Rockerz/ GeorgeTown Bboy(now) and my senior in Ultimaxx Bboy Ice a.k.a Alvin reppin Ice Ice Baby Dance Community(now). I started focus on Bboying again, only Bboying can express my soul. And i founded a crew with some Bboy whose under HPDS - Star Gangz. Unfortunately, a few months later, Star Gangz has been dissolve becoz of some conflict between crew members. My momentum start slowing down...
Aug of 2010
- A lot of people said I looks same like this guys - Bboy Hans is back !! ex-Famous Crew member reppin GeorgeTown Bboy(now), from penang and moving to KL last time. He always come and training at HPDS, in the beginning I not really close to him even I lot of question about Bboying wanna ask him inside my brain, coz I don think a Bboy on top like him will pay attention on a small potato like me. After sometimes knowing him, I feel that I was wrong, his friendly, the way he share his shit the way he caring ppl, its make me believe that a real dope Bboy wont look down on other Bboy. He upgrade my mind, my skills, especially my dance soul... he taught me alot of battle skills and strategy. Every time he praise me i was very powerful, feel myself become much more stronger.
Today
- Since I've Dancing for a few years, there were many times I was thinking to giving up and the were alot of wining and losing i've experienced, but I still insist on it. Alot of my friends asked me “as a full time dancer, do u thinks that u can really be success in your future??” and my answer is "I donno...but one thing i can confirm is, one day when I left my last breath on earth... I have no regret on my life...at least I had try my best to turn my dream to reality."At last... I wanna say thousand of thanks to my family, Bboy Mickey, Bboy Stealroc, Bboy Fire, Maxx, Chriz Ooi, Bboy Hans and others... Without u guys, there is no Tricky Raye... in my future I will keep it up, hold my dream... I believe that small potato wont be forever small potato...Peace and Love...
