Ahren is called "The Torch" in Big-Add Posse circles -- download the video and you'll see why. Kenny Shults started training him when he was only 15 years old. Video by Sean Wingert.

Ryan Mulroney on the Sidelines
(8.77M)
While Ryan Mulroney was busting this combo, someone on the sidelines was trying to give a running commentary of all the moves he was hitting for a local news crew. However, this proved impossible, as the human tongue cannot work as fast as this boy's legs. See for yourself. Video by Sean Wingert.

"Teva Dave" Holton
(12.01M)
Nicknamed "Teva Dave" because he's the only BAP member who shreds in his Tevas, Dave Holton is from Atlanta, Georgia. He is rarely actually there though, as freestyling around the U.S. is his gig. Video by Sean Wingert.

Rippin' Rick Reese
(8.40M)
A somewhat eclipsed view of one of the key freestylers who have brought the sport to its current status as a serious athletic endeavor. Rick (from Ft. Collins, Colorado) is still one of the top players in the game, having almost single-handedly motivated most of the other players in the Posse. Rick shreds it up here during the net preliminaries at Westmoreland Park. Video by Sean Wingert.
