"The Urban Action Figure" Bboy Ivan was on "America's Got Talent" which aired last night but was actually taped a few weeks ago. At the beginning of his routine he tried to flip over a number of folding steel chairs but didn't make it, and ended up lying face down motionless on the stage for awhile until finally people came to check on him. He eventually regained conciousness but was taken away in an ambulance for precautionary measures.
Footage of the incident can be seen here:
Anyone who has watched this footage can't help but feel is fishy. For one, Ivan does more chairs then that without a trampoline all the time. But fishiest thing of all is that he does a fucken roll back to pencil freeze while he is supposed to be unconcious! It turns out that my suspicions were true. According to Cros1, probably the biggest promoter in bboying, Ivan "told me that it was pretty much a set up" after Cros1 had phoned Ivan following the confusing event. So the big question everyone is asking is: Why would Ivan pretent to knock himself out!? all Cros1 had to say was that "its Hollywood and controversy and drama sells...".
