Quest apologizes for unoriginal Whack Track move

Last week, several of our readers pointed out that Quest's 'upside down' move in America's Best Dance Crew's Whack Track challenge had been done before. Follow-up: Quest's D-trix responded on BboyWorld with an apology:

"... Myself and the rest of Quest would like to apologize to all the bboys/bgirls and creators of the gimmick we had performed last week on the show!!!... I can promise you all that we had no idea that some one else had thought and performed this same gimmick long ago!... Here we thought we were being all creative and then the morning after the showed had aired... people posted a clip from youtube saying "Quest bit this move"... and it was footage from Project Seoul doing the same gimmick in uk champs 2002!!... at this point our whole crew was frozen and we were all ashamed... We had no intention of stealing ideas and especially accepting credit for it!!... It is totally our fault for not doing our research!! this incident has heavily affected us since we normally pride ourselves in being original and creative. Ive personally been in the bboy scene for many years.. entered many jams.. watched tons of footage.. and its unbelieveable how something like this could escape my attention!!!... we hope most of you can believe that things like this do happen by total coincidence, but Quest will make absolutely sure to prevent it from happening again. "not knowing" is not an excuse, and we do not intend on ever using the gimmick again, out of respect to those who have done it before us."

Personally, I think the apology shows class. And here's Project Seoul video:
