STYLE ELEMENTS CREW
SIGNATURE STYLE: Abstract Threading, Experimental Musicality, Impossible Strength & Originality
Founded in 1994 in Northern California, Style Elements Crew revolutionized breaking in the late 1990s by winning Battle of the Year 1998 and Freestyle Session. Remind, Crumbs, Ivan, Poe One, and Kujo shattered rigid formulas and introduced boundless creative freedom to global b-boying.

[SEC] FEATURED BREAKER PORTFOLIOS (3)
Style Elements Pioneer, BOTY 1998 World Champion & Master of Flow Transitions • Modesto / Los Angeles, CA
Donnie 'Crumbs' Counts of Style Elements Crew is one of the most influential figures in modern breaking history. Leading Style Elements to victory at Battle of the Year 1998 and starring in classic music videos like Bomfunk MC's 'Freestyler' and Christina Aguilera's 'Dirrty', Crumbs redefined how freezes, power, and musicality flow together.
Co-Founder of Style Elements, Abstract Rhythm & Experimental Footwork Pioneer • Modesto / San Francisco, CA
B-Boy Remind co-founded Style Elements Crew and later represented Skill Methodz and Renegade Rockers. Revered as a 'b-boy's b-boy,' Remind shattered conventional footwork patterns in the mid-1990s by introducing off-axis angles, polyrhythmic timing, and complete freestyle spontaneity.
Pioneer of Planche Power, Air-Floats & Gravity-Defying Upper-Body Strength • Los Angeles, CA
Jacob 'Kujo' Lyons of Style Elements and Soul Control changed the physical possibilities of breaking forever. Despite being born deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, Kujo pioneered planche floats, UFOs, and raw upper-body power transitions that became foundational vocabulary for power-freeze breakers worldwide.
