Searching for Gold with the one and only Gravity ????
Follow along with our newest 2 part series as we follow an Olympic hopeful throughout his journey. Gravity started breaking at a young age and now teaches kids along the way as he competes for his chance on the biggest stage of ALL TIME. Breaking was added to the 2024 Olympics for the first time, but the road to compete in Paris is not an easy one. This involves countless training hours, grueling diets and an abundance of sacrifices. Gravity is one of the GOAT in the breaking community and he is currently living in our home town, so it is only right that we show his journey.
Gravity is more than a breaker though… He is a teacher, a father, a husband and one of the most genuine human beings to ever be part of the RESHOEVN8R family. Although his journey is about breaking there is more than meets the eye! In today’s episode of Breaking Barriers you not only get to be introduced to the sport of break dancing, but you will learn about the man himself.
Breaking is seen in movies all over the world, such as You Got Served! However, it is 100% more than what you see on that screen. This sport just like any other takes dedication, creativity, sacrifice, life changes and an insane about of talent. Watch through today’s video to see some of the most insane training regimens, the obstacles of breaking and the challenges outside of breaking.
Before getting to the Olympics Gravity has to compete against some of the greatest in the world in Chile… Stay tuned to continue on his journey to the Olympics.
Part 2 will go down in just 7 days and you won’t want to miss it!
