Eric has been in the RB since 2002 when he repped with them in Freestyle 7.

As to why he wasn't in Dance Like No One is Watching is anyones guess.

Before that he was in Soul Control.

Erik danced with Rythm Bugz in bboy summit 2001, so he's been with'em for awhile. Rythm Bugz is always switchin members with rock force...i think they just help each other out.

Brownkid - Manson is tall and white..but he doesn't do power really..he does groundwork mostly with some shoulder spins and stuff

Kareem is the one who does a lot of elbow tracks..Kareem is Rockforce

RUGRAT - Rythm Bugz is based in San Diego...when RB battles in the states or in small comps they stay as Rythm Bugz

when they battle overseas or at big events they team with rockforce..giving them more people

It also makes sense cos Reveal used to be in Rock Force, just like Iron Monkey.

Actually I think they just team up cos they share those two members and they are closely related. Crews like that do that often, such as Killafornia and West Coast Rockers who share the mutual members Lil Rock and Tails.

And I've been told that EJ doesn't dance anymore; he wanted to pursue his MCing career. It's a shame; he was real dope.

Agile-These two crews combine all the time, mostly beginning with Freestyle 5 and then doing it again in Freestyle 7 along with quite a few other national battles.

where'd you hear EJ quit dancing from?
thats kinda wack..i think if you really love it you can persue more than just one element


i don't get what you mean by Reveal and Monkey USED to be in RF

they still battle with them don't they?

FSS7 they were all together

and in LOTF with the este and monkey bit..i really didn't think este was on RB..maybe RF but not an official member of rythm bugz

oh well..i still got mad love for most these cats

I heard that EJ quit from Iron Monkey and I think that he'd probably know. Either that or he's kidding. But from what it sounded like, he was completely serious.

Shawn and Ryan both used to be sole RF members, before there even was RB. So, they USED to be in RFC, now they represent RB. If you see a RB only battle it would have them in it. If you saw a straight RFC battle, it'd be Vietnam, Jeff, Karim, and possiby Benji and Gerald.

They battled in as Rock Force/Rhytm Bugs in FSS7. That's why they were there.

Read my previous posts.

I had a friend move out to San Fran and he met up with all these guys; including Shawn. So, when we went out there, he was at thier practices and shit.

I guess I take what I said back, I didn't hear it straight from Shawn, but my friend who lives out there and hangs out with him on a daily basis and that's what he said.

That and the fact that Shawn was sitting next to him when he said it.
