quoted from Rocksteady Crew.com

"Jason "Easy Roc" Geoffrey, who grew up in Orange County California, became involved in Hip-Hop in 1983, at the age of 13. At this time it was common to be involved in more than one aspect of this newly discovered culture, so Jason found himself not only learning a new and fascinating pastime, known as Breaking (Break-Dance), but also transfersona for the next 20 years. From that time on he would be known as ěEasy Rocî simply because he made it all look so easy.

Breaking had transformed Jason from shy geek to B-Boy chic, but when the dance suffered itís pre-mature demise (86-87) Easy Roc (Jason) was devastated. It was clear that he would have to find another form of physical expression. He had always been involved with Skate Boarding & BMX racing, so it was at this time that he became involved in another new pastime, (Freestyle BMX).  Easy Roc devoted all his time to this budding sport, all the while, he continued to represent the B-Boy style of dance, incorporating it into his bike performance. He soon became one of the sports most notable figures, gaining sponsorships from companies like Vans Tennis Shoes & G.T. Bicycles and traveling the world competing and performing. It was at this time that he discovered his love for performing and his addiction to the limelight.

Easy Rocís dedication to Breaking & the culture of Hip-Hop paid off when, in 1991, he was approached by the Rock Steady Crew to become a member of their group. Easy Roc had stuck by the Dance through itís down time and was now on the front lines of itís long awaited comeback. By this time his stylish combination of footwork, spins and acrobatic moves had earned him a reputation as one of the most innovative B-Boys on the West Coast. Easy Roc joined Rock Steady and in 2001 Crazy Legs made him the co Vice Pres."


He is still one of my favorite bboys, and I remember watching some of his bboy videos, that had flatland mixed into it.  Just wondering if he's still riding, or if anybody had those clips of him riding online. lemme know.

-thanks.

I was thinking of how rad it would be to have a battle format with bikers vs breakers.

I think it'd mos def make for a good show.

I see Easy Roc once in a while at the beach. Sometimes he brings out the flatland bike and busts out. He's got Hang Gliders all day!!!

yup.  he had instructional sections on his videos where he taught how to paint with a can.  I think they were called Overflow 1 and 2.  I think it was on Over flow 2 where he started putting flatland into the vids.  It had clips of shows he did with some other guys in malls and stuff.

look them up, i lost my copies years ago.

Lets ask the important question:  Does he still have the rattail and the moustache?
