UPDATE: One more ABDC Trivia Prize Challenge open to EVERYONE: Video Time Machine

VivaLaVix won the ABDC Trivia Contest -- congratulations! But, because I messed up and didn't see her email, I am adding one more challenge open to everyone, with the prize of a $10 iTunes gift certificate.

The challenge: find the oldest video (i.e., the date that it was made, not when it was uploaded) that contains any America's Best Dance Crew contestant dancing. To clarify:
  • the video must be sharable on-line with BABDC readers, at least in the U.S.
  • you must be able to verify that the person in it actively competed on ABDC in a show broadcast by MTV. That is, the video's description or origin must have information that proves the identity of the ABDC contestant. If you can find an old group dance video and can show me separately that the person was a member of the group AT THAT TIME, that counts as proof
  • The person MUST be dancing during at least part of the video.
  • The date when the video was made must also be verifiable or at least easily estimated (e.g., time stamp, age of the dancer).
  • Added rule: don't use this old video of Boogie Bot's Magic Mike because we already posted it!
Email your entries to ABDCContest@gmail.com. This is a 2-week challenge, so all entries must be received by February 24, 2011. I'll share the oldest and the funniest ones online.
